Best Live Music Restaurants in Central Saanich

The menu and food was excellent, highest praise to the server, sommelier and the chef! Everyone including the busboy were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Fun festive vibe . Lots of guests and the nicest dining experience we have had for a while. We had an excellent dining experience here. Highly recommended!

Very excellent Lamb, everyone should try this main meal, will come next time

Fairmont Hotel's Xmas Luncheon Buffet was outstanding; we loved it and will most likely go again. Overall, we do enjoy dining and their afternoon high tea - it never disappoints :) Try it; you'll love it too ! Linda & Gary

Our server was amazing! He was better than the food was. The food was mediocre at best. Things were not very warm in the serving trays. Bacon was swimming in grease in the tray. Hash brown patties were soggy. Not crispy at all. It seemed as if some things were plated the night before ie: cold cheeses, as they were difficult to get off of the serving tray. No pancakes or french toast or waffles being available was a little disappointing. Im not going to lie, we attended the Christmas day brunch last year (2023) and were really impressed, that is one of the reasons why we decided to attend this year. The offerings available this year were disappointing. So much so that we discussed at the table about finding somewhere else to enjoy Christmas Day brunch/breakfast in 2025. The venue was amazing, the server was amazing but the food missed the mark in a big way. I know you cannot satisfy everyone all of the time but even the basic breakfast items were disappointing.

What an amazing experience and n Christmas Eve as well. Food was outstanding as well as the service. We got to then look around the gardens after the food. It certainly made things feel very Christmassy.
