   Great vibe and atmosphere. Happy hour drinks and food was very reasonable and tasted great. Would return for dinner and sit in the back with the open air seats. Funky decor!

   Love this place and was excited to bring my family to drag brunch as was advertised on the site and the booking app. Disappointed food was cold and No drag :( just brunch. The whole point was for us to watch the show. Been here other times and had a super time but this last Sunday was a bust. Be sure to call in and confirm the table and entertainment.

   The food and service were wonderful… the patio area was cozy without the tables being crowded. The ambient noise was low enough so that the members of our party who is hard of hearing had no trouble with conversation. Will definitely come back!

   We love the ambiance, the vibe, the music, and the friendly staff - we'll be back. I don't recall your Rosemary Hash Browns being deep-fried before. Hash browns are not deep fried. That is an abomination! Other than that, love ya.

   We had a fantastic time sharing appies and drinking cocktails. It was a slightly slower evening and our server made us custom cocktails all evening. I’ll definitely be returning!

    Lovely staff that are warm and kind. Delicious food. Gorgeous interior!! Went for brunch and was not disappointed!! I had the tomato and avocado toast and it was fantastic. Both friends with me loved their meals as well! An eggs Benedict and a traditional breakfast. Will definitely be going back when I’m next in Victoria!

    Friends of DorothyResponded on July 26, 2022Hi Casey, thank you for your glowing review! We will be sure to pass along your compliments to the kitchen team. We hope you can join us again in the near future :)

    We’ve been wanting to go to FOD for ages and decided to book a table finally as we had a friend in town and wanted to get out DT. We had no idea it was Dinner and Drag night. We didn’t see anything on the set menu we wanted but the Happy Hour snacks were really good and then we stayed for the show and had the best night out in DT Vic we’ve ever had! Such a great welcoming vibe and everyone was there to have a good time. Can’t wait to go back. Can’t recommend it enough. Special thanks to Mina Mercury & Eddi Licious! Oh and the amazing servers!

    The restaurant was wonderful. We enjoyed it so much the first time we went back a second time. The themed cocktails were amazing and the food was excellent. Of course, the best part was the entertainment and the amazing waitstaff. I would recommend it to anyone.

    This Friday nightly Drag show dinner was a fun evening out. The show was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The chicken and waffle appetizer is available on their brunch menu! I can’t wait to have it again! The pork belly was tasty and we loved the chocolate cake (Brownie)

    We both enjoyed the drinks and our meals. Attentive staff. Great atmosphere. My husband had the smashburger and I had the fried chicken sandwich. Both were very nice. The chicken sandwich had great flavors. Just wish it was a little bit thicker chicken breast but otherwise tasted great!!

    My food was delicious. One of my friends ordered her poached eggs medium and they were definitely soft with some of the whites still runny. She ignored it and ate her meal anyway, up until she found a hair in her food. That was the kicker. Now she did not complain about it so they have no idea. My other friend got the entirely wrong meal, sent it back apologetically. They brought out her almost correct meal but by that time, the other two of us had almost finished our meals. I say almost correctly because she had asked for fries instead of hash browns and that was incorrect on the second plate. They then brought her a big bowl of "extra" fries but that took another almost 10 minutes. By then we were ready to leave and she asked for a box for her food. The servers each came back several times without a box. We finally got the box and bill and and were a little surprised that they did not take any percentage off of her meal after several screw ups. She did enjoy her food though, once she finally had it. So, food was quite good (other than my one friend's experience), a little pricey but that's today's world, ambiance was great, service, although very friendly and helpful, was very slow and a lot of errors.

    Its one of those place you go to once. We were a table of 9 and found it way too loud that you couldn't really talk or hear people speak, had to yell sometimes, portions too small ... went for a burger afterwards, service was slow, and drinks came to the table with the wrong mix. The set up in Victoria is not good because if you're sitting in the patio you cannot see the stage and the performers rarely ever come all the way to the back nor work the room - not a good set-up. There is a screen on one side of the patio but again not viewable to everyone in that area, poor design. One performer came back to collect tips despite the fact that they didn't back to the far corner end of the patio anytime prior to that ... but managed to get themselves all the way there to try and collect a tip. The other performer also came right back to our end corner table at the end of the night to say thanks and collect a tip .. but she didn't come that far to the back during her entire performance. The whole thing needs alot of fine tuning.
