The server was great! She had lots of suggestions what good at the restaurant, since one of our friends had allergies to wheat. The food we ordered was fabulous. The restaurant was a little loud, but its a sport bar.......

Wow...this had to be one of the best salads I've had in a long time! I ordered the garden greens salad with a piece of grilled halibut. The salad was huge! Sweet micro greens, red peppers, cherry tomatoes, grated carrots and sweet purple beets, pumpkin seeds, chickpeas with a honey balsamic dressing! Delicious and fresh as can be! Grilled halibut...

We recently had lunch at the Local Kitchen on a busy Saturday afternoon out on the patio on a beautiful March afternoon. The food was fresh and very tasty, the service was attentive and the patio had great views of the inner harbour and provided great people watching. Nothing fancy here just a very good value for your money kind... More

EVERYTHING ROCKED !! From the moans of unbridled pleasure over the ribs with the gourmet side of mac & cheese (I will never be able to eat KD again), to the chicken burger that started with pesto and ended with gusto. More seating outside than inside, but longer wait too. Sports bar theme inside makes conversation a challenge, but outside... More

Had lunch today at the Local Kitchen. I had the Mac & cheese, sooooo good! The kids shared the chicken tenders & calamari, it was so much food we took some home. Bloody Mary was great & everyone was full & happy when we left. Would definitely return!

More of a sports bar than a restaurant. A great place to watch a game, we ended up there after wandering the streets for a bit on a busy Saturday night. The food was good, maybe a bit heavy. My ribs were excellent with the mac and cheese. The Marco Polo noodle stir fry was a bit heavy on the... More

We were in Victoria for the weekend and decided to stop in for lunch on our way to the Museum. We made a great choice, the food was delicious and our server was pleasant and attentive. I had the Salmon Wrap and loved every bite. My husband had a burger and said it was excellent. My son had Tacos &... More

We really liked the Local Kitchen! After missing our dinner reservation elsewhere because we missed the ferry, we arrived in Victoria late and hungry. Our travels took us to the Local Kitchen. We were enticed in by the sign outside advertising $5 wine and decided to take a peek. Service was prompt to start but got a bit slow as... More

Plenty of tvs on which to watch the game and a nice interior - dark wood, Mug shot style photos of their regulars and a great location in Bastion Square. The drink list wasn't extensive, but the bar was well stocked and the bartender had no problem being creative. I didn't try the food this time around, but I think... More
