After a less than stellar experience at the Snug Pub in the Oak Bay Beach hotel, we decided to forget trying to park in Victoria and wandered in to the tiny town of Oak Bay. First couple of restaurants closed at 5. Ok, what about this pub? The menu online showed many tempting choices. Entering, we found quite a party underway at 6 in the evening! The locals were drinking up and the place was packed. There are several rooms, with the front being the true pub with high stools and the bar. In the back there are bigger tables, and an outside area. There is also an upstairs area. We squeezed in the back room, and even though it was busy, we were quickly presented with a menu and request for a drink order. Now, this is not going to be a drink review! We don\t drink, except for the occasional cocktail, so you\ll have to read another review about all the beer on tap. (Everyone we saw was slugging down Guinness anyway!) On this particular evening, knowing I ought to try something for the review, I ordered a hot blackberry/fruity tea with amaretto and Kahlua. It arrived with the liquor in a clear tall glass (like an Irish coffee glass) and the tea in a pot to pour on top. Ok, it was a weird choice! On to the food. Straight for the burger- with Brie, crispy onion, portabello mushroom, and truffle aioli (I\m not sure I spelled that correctly!). It was awesome. They didn\t ask how I wanted it cooked, but it came out with just a faint ribbon of pink in the middle. Just right. Others ordered the fish and chips- a large portion of fish with a bowl of fries. Also a turkey club sandwich on ciabbata, and a short rib sandwich with arugula, provolone, and carmelized onions on brioche with dipping jus. To. Die.For. Each sandwich offered a fry or salad. I chose the house salad, which proved to be arugula with a tart lemony dressing, which wasn\t to my liking. For a few extra bucks you can choose the soups of the day or a Caesar, which I did on the next visit. The clam chowder is pinkish a
