I had the Santa fe salad this time, soooo good. The restaurant was moderately busy, and we received our food in under 10 minutes. Stan was great!! He is a real keeper! We were back to the office in 40 minutes working and well fed. Thank you and see you again soon!

We were in Vancouver B.C. which has easy access to many fresh fish available. So, I was disappointed that they only had 1 fish that was fresh. All other fish were frozen. The fresh halibut was good.

About the restaurant

If the valley prospers, we prosper. Everything you see on the terrace menu is homemade, grown in the estate's garden or produced locally with our agricultural partners. Chef Patrick's philosophy is that if it grows together, it goes together, which is why we offer wines from the same region to accompany your meal.

Quail is a great place. Staff are always attentive and pay attention to detail. We enjoy lunch as sometimes it is a little quieter. This visit we had arctic char and the chicken entrees which were both very good. Lunch or dinner, it is a great place to dine with fantastic views and food! And of course, the wine! K Taylor

The heritage site of the old Saanich Municipal Hall, is where the Med Grill calls home.
At 100 years old, the building holds generations of memories and history which we proudly showcase in the hallways of our restaurant. Committed to serving our community, we have been a local Victoria favourite since we opened in 1997.
We carefully infused our style of chic yet cozy west-coast vibe with the delicious flavours of the Mediterranean.
