    I recently visited The Courtney Room in Victoria for happy hour and decided to try the buttermilk fried chicken tenders. While I appreciate the restaurant's elegant ambiance and attentive service, I was unfortunately let down by the quality of this particular dish. The chicken tenders themselves were coated in an excessively thick layer of dough that was deep-fried to a dark brown color. This heavy breading overwhelmed the taste of the chicken, making it difficult to appreciate the flavor. I was hoping for a lighter, crispier batter that would complement the chicken, not overshadow it. Perhaps the kitchen had an off day, but based on this experience, I would hesitate to order the chicken tenders again. It's worth noting that this was my only order during this visit, so I can't speak to the quality of the other menu items. However, the disappointing chicken tenders left me with a less than favorable impression.

    Another amazing meal with a fantastic wine choice by the sommelier. We will continue to come back to one of our favorite Victoria restaurants.

    Awesome dining experience! Food was outstanding as was the service. The sommelier recommended an excellent wine to pair with our dinner. Good value for your dollar. Highly recommend the restaurant and will definitely go there again!

    Very pricy for OK food. The burrata was tasty, but very small for the price and would have been nice if the bread was warmed or toasted. The crab ravioli was very good. Nice and hot! The salmon entree was a total disappointment. $52 for cold mushy salmon, and the "potato salad" was some overcooked pieces of potato with some cold mushrooms next to them. The Christmas decorations were nice and the server was very pleasant, but the food/value ratio was way off.

    Nice room but very noisy. We asked to move and they accommodated us no problem. Service was very nice. I had a Hiudon glazed pork belly first course that was very salty, almost seemed like they poured bottled Houston sauce over it. A bit dry and chewy. For the main my wife had the German Buttrr Ravioli that was fantastic. I had the Duck breast that was flavorful but nothing special They were very helpful helping choose wine by the glass that worked well with our food. Nice overall but I expected better

    Great all around. Reservations were on the later side of the brunch period for our large party. WI would recommend the Courtney Room for brunch.
