Q at the Empress

This upscale dining restaurant is in a beautiful room, but is open to the often very boisterous bar, which interferes with what otherwise would be an elegant experience.

The menu offers a nice selection of appealing starters, but a somewhat limited selection of entrees.

We visited twice, because there are, frankly, not a lot of fine dining options in Victoria.

Standouts were the Crunchy Leaves (basically a Caesar salad) and the beautifully plated asparagus entree.

Least impressive was the sable fish, a large steamed chunk that was pretty much flavorless.

Service both nights was excellent.
