Wind Cries Mary - Victoria

Took my beautiful wife here for a late night, date night Sunday dinner. Very cool location in Bastion Square right off Langley. The hostest took us inside, just down some stairs and what seemed to be a maze of different dining areas. Very cool. The wait staff was immediately amazing, explaining that the menu is served in a family style of shareable plates, which appealed to both of us very much. Everything that we had ordered seemed to be more amazing than the last plate. The place definitely has a very romantic feeling and a great place for great food, great company, and a great date night experience. This may be my new favorite place for date night in Victoria. Thanks.

This place is a new favorite of mine. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner and decided on the tasting menu with the cocktail pairing. Every dish (with the exception of the pork dish) was complex and flavorful, and the cocktail pairings were fantastic and really complemented each dish. My personal favorite dish was the salmon dish. The Laundry and Taxes cocktail was fantastic, and the kelp salt on my margarita blew my mind. The service was responsive but not overly intrusive, and the atmosphere was quite nice in the backyard patio. I would definitely return next time I’m in Victoria, and will be recommending to my friends and family.

Hands down, the best cocktails I've ever had. We had one night in Victoria before a trip up the coast and WCM was highly recommended. It's a busy spot. Reservations recommended (if possible). But we were able to sit at the bar which was no issue. Staff are friendly, informative and knowledgeable about all of the drinks and menu items. This includes recommending distilleries and wineries in the region. Dishes are meant to be shared and the portions are generous. Everything is fresh and flavourful. The fried chicken is... incredible. If you need a shortlist of places to try in Victoria, this should be at the top.

The best spaghetti I had on my visit to Victoria! The entire menu was great although I can’t really remember the name of the dishes. The dessert was everything! It’s a beautiful space but the only problem I had with the atmosphere was the noise. It’s so noisy in there that I almost left immediately I got there. Glad I stuck it out cause I had a good time.

We couldn't get a reservation so we just showed up and the host found us a spot at the bar. So the first impression was great and it just got better as dinner rolled along. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. The bartender did a great job asking my wife what she wanted in a wine and made a great recommendation. We had the whipped ricotta toast, OMG it was amazing, perfectly balanced and flavorful. Next up was fresh oysters, which were great but the house made minorette, hot sauces and fresh horseradish put them over the top. Next was the tuna, which was delicious! Obviously everyone knew what they were doing, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!
