Name:
Name: since moving to Victoria in April 09 I've made Spinnakers the one place to always take visitors. No matter how many other pubs we see or how much time we have, we must always get to Spinnakers... and returning visitors insist on it.
Name: **************************************************Attention all Winter Olympic Tourists-EAT HERE!!! Best meal in Victoria! Grab a table in the Tap Room-go for the tables in the back so you can get a view of the mountains. Loved the beer & cheese pairing, would have loved to have just another bite or two of each cheese-but it was still a fabulous choice. Loved the meal and our server.
Name: Eating at Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub and enjoying some Rasberry Ale was the highlight of my first trip to BC. I can't wait to return and stay in the guesthouse.
Name: We had a wonderful stay in your guesthouse and terrifi dinners in your pub. Lovely place, very kind and gentle personnel, high-level dinner! But the beer won the first prize...!!! Thank you again for your kind hospitality.
Name: Nice touches and attention to detail. Tasty beers too.
Name: Enjoyed the stay and the food! Thank you.
Name: Beautiful room, great restaurant, even had a fire on July 1st after the fireworks. Lovely attention to detail.
Name: My husband and I have stayed at Spinnaker's on many occasions. Our favorite room is #4 in the Heritage House. Everyone always asks us why #4 (the smallest). Our answer - it's quiet and romantic. We will be staying there again in August and are so looking forward to it. Even when we have stayed elsewhere (because we had the kids along) we always come to Spinnaker's for dinner. The food is fantastic and the Scotch Ale is awesome. We wil be returning customers always.
Name: I just love spinnakers everthing there is great. Also my family in Saskatwen loves it to. Everything there is so amazing. Thanks for the wonderful dinner.
Name: We visited Victoria from 6/19 - 6/22/09 and ate at Spinnakers twice during that time! The seafood chowder was incredible at both visits. Also enjoyed nachos, the artisan cheese plate, s'more pudding, blueberry crisp, and truffles (to go). Thanks for a great culinary experience.
Name: Had a delicious dinner and fantastic aie!
Name: We found Spinnakers on a Christmas visit in December 2007. We ate, we drank and then found out you had guest houses. We decided if we ever came back to BC, we would be your guests. Well, we're coming back in June for a retirement party in Abbottford and we've booked a Garden Suite for 5 nights. I can't wait!!! June will be so much more enjoyable than December and we're really looking forward to it. See you soon!
Name: After viewing your website we have decided Spinnakers looks like the perfect place to celebrate our 30th anniversary this fall!
Name: We had a really lovely stay at Spinnakers - beautiful room, relaxing jacuzzi tub, breakfast delivered discreetly to our room! The dinner we had at the Brewpub was excellent as well, with a beautiful view of the inner harbour. Thank you for the lovely memories!

Name: My mum and dad are over in Canada at the moment and keep raving about Spinnakers! They are there most nights and love it! Will have to make a trip myself and see what all the fuss is about! Keep up the good work.
Name: Hi just came across your brewpub by accident on the nett, interesting to see it was built by Spr Ltd in Ramsbottom here in the Uk as i probably supplied most of the equipment to them. I am still in contact with the ex of the company and maybe look forward to tasting your beer if i am over in Victoria Canada Cheers from Liverpool.
Name: We spent three nights in the lovely Victorian guesthouse. We can say that the accomodations were charming, the staff was so warm and friendly, and the beds were SO-O-O comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful vacation memory. We hope to return someday, and when we do, Spinnakers will be part of the trip for sure.
Name: Not only do you have the best beer in Victoria but you also have the best mid week cricket team. Spinnakers Cricket Club lost one game in the 19 played this year and brought home both the League and the Knock-out Cups. They are proudly displayed in the pub. Take a minute to check them out. Paul Hadfield and his staff are the best sponsors any team could possibly ask for. Thank you
Name: I think we'll have to be your guests once again. I can hear that gorgeous tub calling me and I can hardly wait to sample more of those delicious pastries. Spinnakers is one of the few places that actually lived up to it's reputation. The service, the food, the beer and of course the location ... all great!
Name: the halibut was to die for!! best we have ever had!
Name: The very best gastro experience in BC. Read the book and made the visit. I love the darker cream ales that are so difficult to come by unless you purchase an import. The waitress suggested the Jameson's scottish ale. It was just perfect. My wife enjoyed the tea. I had the Tuna. It was a perfectly cooked Just right crusted with local ingredients. My wife with some english roots decided she was going to have the Cornish Pasty. I am always tentative when she decides to tries to satisfy her palate for English foods in Canada.......but she and I were pleasantly surprised. It was very good. Next morning we decided on breakfast at a local coffee shop but changed our minds and went back to the Spinnacker's and ordered a fried fish each. Once again, we had a great time.....good service and excellent food. I purchased a few bottles of the Jameson's scottish ale and brought them back to Toronto. Great place, excellent views from the upper floor, superb food and even better beer. Definitely worth a trip. A bit hard to find. Wish they had signs after you cross the bridge.
Name: the halibut was to die for!! best we have ever had!
Name: Hi I just wanted to say that we loved our stay in room #2 at the the Heritage house during the GCBF 2 weeks ago. The room was fantastic, and we're already planning our next trip back to Victoria and Spinnakers. Thankyou Katie for a memorable trip
Name: My husband and I along with our best friends from Detroit stayed here a couple of years back and the experience was amazing. The rooms were beautiful, the food was fantastic and the beer was superb. We are now looking to visit again and can't wait to return. We recommend Spinnakers to anybody we learn is traveling to Victoria!
Name: We visited Spinnakers on Feb 5/07. Unfortunatly you were under a kitchen renovation and had a limited menu. However, we had a drink and some very excellent seafood chowder. We enjoyed our visit, and will go back to Spinnakers the next time we are in Victoria.
Name: GOD! I miss a good pint of ESB from Spinnaker's! (and I used to work for Fuller's in London). Pure nectar. Glad to see you're still up and running, but, no surprise! All the best in 2007. Al
Name: We had the good fortune to find you brew pub in September while celebrating our anniversary. I was told by a few friends from Vancouver that have stayed in your guest lodge and raved about the food. We arrived early and enjoyed sitting on your deck, while trying a few brew specials and a new wine that I now love. We met many people all friendly and in particular a lady who was taking pictures for your new web site. We all had a great time and just made the last boat back to the harbour. Your staff, food, atmosphere, and beverage choices were top notch. Thanks for a great time.
Name: We've just got back from our holidays in Victoria and want to say one of the highlights was our meal at Spinnakers, excellent food, great beer and fine wine, all vastly improved by the attentive and knowledgable Dominique who ensured we had the best time. Thanks for being our server.

Name: My husband and I had lunch at your establishment on Tuesday, April 11, 2006. We sat out on the patio, the Bartender was the absolute best. The food was superb as was the service. We bought 3 bottles of your Vinegars and can not wait to use them in cooking. We look forward to our next visit to Victoria and your Brewpub WILL be our first stop. Thank you for the greatest service, the best view, the superb food and the vinegars. Jeri and James Wright

Name: I had dinner there the other evening, and had the pleasure of being attended to by a young woman named 'Missy'. In addition to being a very pleasant and efficient server, I found her to be very knowledgeable and sincerely interested in food and wine, and she was just very genuine in her interaction. I think that is what made the difference for me, in terms of being a memorable experience - one I would repeat, and recommend.

Thanks in large part to your generous donations we were able to raise a little more than $6000.00 that evening. We cannot thank you enough for the support we received for our dinner from you, without your donations we would not have been able to provide the support we have for such a worth cause. Thank you
Name: On behalf of FMF CAPE BRETON, I would like to thank you for your company's generous contribution that enabled us to have a successful Environmental Display at the annual Formation Appreciation BBQ.
