Enjoyed a lovely dinner for 2 with perfectly cooked prime rib and dessert...wine choices are quite nice by the glass too! We will return. The dining room though is very loud...some sound absorption would be great.

We go here regularly for a salad starter and pizza. It’s always good. Tonight we also had a tiramisu and it was delicious. It’s not cheap but what is these days?

Steamship Grill & Bar

About the restaurant

Inspired West Coast Food & Legendary Location

Our menu creations reflect the ever increasing abundance of freshness that British Columbia’s West Coast has to offer. The freshest local ingredients, paired with craft beer from some of Victoria’s finest micro-breweries, and a wine list featuring BC and globally inspired wines. Steamship Grill & Bar aims to satisfy every palate.

We were inspired by the historical significance of our surroundings. Built in 1924, the Heritage Steamship Terminal building is an important landmark in the history of Victoria, BC. Designed by Francis Rattenbury in the Beaux-Arts style, it was the building that welcomed steamship passengers from all over the world. Now open to the public with a gift shop commemorating the history, the Heritage Steamship Terminal is a great place to enjoy a delicious seafood meal.

Food was great, service was very good. Biggest concern was the music choice for the ambience. 80’s rock music has its place, like a biker bar. ‘You shook me all night long” by AC/DC is NOT the kind of music I enjoy while dining. It is also NOT the ambience I think the owners should want for their restaurant.
