The Oaks Restaurant

A classic restaurant and tea house with considerable local history. Relatively inexpensive with tasty daily specials, each of which has ample proportions. All tea pots are a good size and come with Royal Dalton bone china and a memorable tea spoon. Several wines and beers to match many tastes plus live music Friday evenings. Well worth the visit.

Prices are reasonable with generous portions. This was for 3 people. We did take a while to be seated, because the fridge obscures a bit of the waiting area, and the workers didn't regularly check on the waiting area to see if any customers were there. But once we were seated, the food arrived quickly and service was good.

A lovely & charming restaurant with delicious brunch selections. First time, I had the Veggie Benedict, and another time, the massive Veggie Omelette. Both items were delicious. Servers were efficient and friendly. The only minor "complaint" would be the Red Rose tea. The choice for their black tea was a bit disappointing for a Tea Room. However, their rich and decadent chocolate brownie made up for it. ;

Went there on a Sunday, just me. They took forever to seat me. I ordered a coffee and the shortrib eggs benny, the first mug she gave had a lipstick mark on which was replaced when asked. The eggs benny there was plenty of shortrib but lacking of flavor and salt! I don't usually add extra salt after food is served but I had to. The only tasty thing was their parmesan potatoes! I would try a dinner to give them another chance.

Came here for dinner after a self guided bike tour of the beaches in Victoria BC with my partner. We walked in and we were kindly greeted by our server Soleil. As we sat down she immediately told us about the food special steak & shrimp and soup of the day. We couldn't pass on the food special so we each ordered steak and shrimp with the ceasar salad. The food was delicious. For dessert we shared the ice cream brownie sundae. Omg was it delicious! Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you live in Victoria or visiting.

Friendly service. Good prices for breakfast / lunch. Has a unique old time tea room charm. I liked my English breakfast but wasn't it supposed to come with a grilled tomato? Oh well, still good!

We had the Full Tea with some nice tea choices, a nice presentation, unique table ware, the finger sandwiches were very good, and the scones were large and excellent. Down side was no clotted cream or strawberry jam, store bought sweet dessert and the same jam ingredients were used in the parfait. Would have paid a little more for authentic English knowing the difference. This restaurant probably would be a better Burger Tap Room experience.

What a charming Oh so lovely throw back and I definitely mean this as a compliment. The staff are delightful, knowledgeable and so out going . The food is some of the best down Home comfort food you will get anywhere. I found the decor to be fair a little dated but a huge part of its charm to making you feel at home and welcomed. If you are like me and didn't have the pleasure of stepping foot in this restaurant before do it . Awesome lunch specials as well a solid all day menue. Absolutely adore the Oaks Restaurant

I had a wonderful half traditional brekkie this week. Egg done to perfection, perfectly cooked bacon, nice sourdough toast and the potato cubes! Oh my goodness..they were some of the best around. And I had forgotten they can offer you a serving of homemade strawberry jam! Staff were warm and welcoming. Why not pop down and enjoy a breakfast out like I did.

Great brunch with home made jam and full english breakfasts. They have lots of gluten sensitive options and half portions for most of the breakfast meals so you can scale down to match your appetite.
