    The best restaurant by far I have dined at in Victoria. Absolutely the most amazing food and service. The wine sommelier was top notch and took great pride in her job. Such a refreshing experience. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Treat yourself, you will be amazed. Thank you to everyone. The lounge is lovely as well.

    We enjoyed a delightful birthday "Bruncheon" with group of friends at Alpina today. Although the dense mist shrouded the view towards Finlayson Arm, we sat in the bright picture window and enjoyed the feeling of being in the clouds. The food was delicious and arrived promptly without any of us feeling rushed. We lingered for quite a while over our brunch, but never felt pressured by our very attentive server. We were moved by the lovely finishing touch at the end of our meal: a special birthday message in beautiful script from the kitchen accompanied by chocolates! It was a very nice way indeed to end a happy Sunday meal. We look forward to returning soon to this special place which is closer than we thought to Victoria but feels a world away. Thank you to all the staff for making this a memorable birthday!

    Outstanding! My first time and was not disappointed. The staff were lovely, and the food delicious. We enjoyed the New Years menu and couple of items that stand out were the duck, the beef, and the deconstructed apple crisp. I highly recommend.
