Earls has a great atmosphere, the lighting is good and the noise/music level is low so you can have conversations with the people at your table and hear the staff! We were treated very well and since we were celebrating a birthday, there were deserts for the table at the end. It was very lovely! Heather took excellent care of us. thanks!

Our server Micayla was brilliant. Open friendly, informative, and above all happy and not rushed. One of my party members was half an hour late and they doubted on us. We weren’t rushed. We felt valued as a customer. The food is always spectacular at the Fireside Grill . Can’t speak more highly of this restaurant, which is so supported by our community. Lovely ambience. They’ve done themselves this year for Christmas decor. Truly a place I will revisit time and time again.

About the restaurant

The heritage site of the old Saanich Municipal Hall, is where the Med Grill calls home.
At 100 years old, the building holds generations of memories and history which we proudly showcase in the hallways of our restaurant. Committed to serving our community, we have been a local Victoria favourite since we opened in 1997.
We carefully infused our style of chic yet cozy west-coast vibe with the delicious flavours of the Mediterranean.
Whether cozy by the fire in the fall, or patio parties in the sunshine, we are sure you will love it here at Med Grill!

My husband and I were looking for a restaurant that was outside of our usual rotation, and I had never been to Med Grill before. Loved every aspect of it. The food was delicious, our server was so friendly and the environment was warm, festive and very inviting. We both agreed that this will now be a part of our regular date night spots! Thanks for a great experience!
