    We are so very sad that this wonderful gathering restaurant and it’s wonderful staff are leaving… it is a loss for all restaurant customers that enjoy a unique experience. I’m hopeful that they will return and pop up elsewhere! Thanks for all of you years of great enjoyment and food! Bless you all!

    The food's excellent, small menu though. Charcuterie board's great to share, not much else was, which was a pity. Friendly staff, funky space, a bit pricey for what's on offer.

    In a fun neighborhood. Vary cool atmosphere--decor, staff. Food took over 30 minutes to arrive after ordering, despite very few patrons at the time. My wife's vegetarian pasta looked great, but she ate less than half because she felt it needed more sauce/flavor. My beef tenderloin was OK, sides not so much.

    Food was horrible. There was sand in our muscles and the flatbread tasted like an instant mini pizza that was heated up in microwave. Only thing that was wonderful was our server. Unfortunately will not go back due to the food.

    Lovely evening, started with Prosecco, charcuterie and olives, they were out of the mussels and tostada. We made do with truffle fries which were very good, as was the charcuterie and good value. A bottle of Riverlore just to sip and converse. We weren’t rushed, and the music was not too loud, lots of people out on the sidewalk to watch, overall an excellent time.

    My wife and I have eaten here a number of times. We like the menu and the selection of wines. Last night I had the mussels(very tasty, with a bit of heat) and broccolini (also very tasty). My wife had the vegetable platter and fries, which she enjoyed. Non-alcoholic beer for my wife and a glass of Zinfandel for me. All good.

    The portions at The Collective were minuscule. My companion had rabbit. The portion was so small that the restaurant should have been embarrassed to send it out of the kitchen. My sablefish portion also was tiny. It was OK in flavor but the thin broth it was served in had barely more flavor than water. It had about a tablespoon of barley lying at the bottom of it. This contemporary scheme of giving patrons tiny portions is obviously an attempt to get them to order more courses in order to pad the bill. None of the four of us will be back. We were insulted. Our waiter was very nice and efficient. No problem there.

    The restaurant looks great but very loud. Also there is a dj at around 8:30 which makes it to make a conversation with your partner even more difficult. The food was tasteless and not worth the amount of money.

    We have been eating and drinking at The Collective since it opened in Cook Street Village. It is our go-to place for quiet dinners for two, entertaining out-of-town visitors, and family celebrations. They treat us like family. The food menu is small but varied with interesting options for everyone. The drinks menu is, well ... immense. Weekends are, of course, busiest, as is later in the evening. But if you haven't tried it yet, give yourself a treat. You'll be glad you did.

    Great atmosphere and their charcuterie boards are FULL. We ran out of crackers and our waitress brought us more without even asking, that never happens anywhere else. Their flat bread pizza was also amazing and changes daily! Great place for a evening date night or girls night.

    The food was superb!! The quality and freshness of the food at The Collective surpassed all other restaurants that I have experienced in Victoria, BC. Being a "Foodie", I am often disappointed at restaurants that serve frozen, pre-cooked, warmed over food that in a home setting would only be considered left-overs. What a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant that obviously makes food from scratch and plates it for immediate consumption! The desserts were also delicious. I am not a big fan of most desserts because they are often sickly sweet. The sugar masks all other flavours. This was not the case at the Collective. I'd give them 10/ 10 for there Chocolate Mousse and Pecan Pie. Thank you!

    Outstanding, attentive service. Ordered the prix fixe: scallops were lovely, not tough or briny; ribs were slightly overcooked but still came off the bone easily; crème brûlée had excellent flavour and custard was set just right - not too liquid, not curdled - but sadly was a little cold
