We had a fabulous gal's lunch on Friday at Boom and Batten. We were seated at table #34 on the upper level. Our server was amazing! Our water glasses were filled before the glasses were empty, and the same applied for our coffee cups. Although the food was a little pricey every bite was delicious! The restaurant was quite busy but we were able to hear each other talk . I will definitely be returning!

About the restaurant

Inspired West Coast Food & Legendary Location

Our menu creations reflect the ever increasing abundance of freshness that British Columbia’s West Coast has to offer. The freshest local ingredients, paired with craft beer from some of Victoria’s finest micro-breweries, and a wine list featuring BC and globally inspired wines. Steamship Grill & Bar aims to satisfy every palate.

We were inspired by the historical significance of our surroundings. Built in 1924, the Heritage Steamship Terminal building is an important landmark in the history of Victoria, BC. Designed by Francis Rattenbury in the Beaux-Arts style, it was the building that welcomed steamship passengers from all over the world. Now open to the public with a gift shop commemorating the history, the Heritage Steamship Terminal is a great place to enjoy a delicious seafood meal.

An excellent place in the harbour area, off the beaten path of downtown restaurants. The view is great summer or winter, the food is excellent, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. No complaints, and we’ll be back again.
