" Our experience was a bit disappointing as we expected better based on other reviews. My dish didn't reflect much flavor, and it felt ordinary compared to others in the area. The service was acceptable, but I wouldn't say exceptional. I may reconsider visiting again depending on how others' experiences go next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I feel confident saying that Vis-à-Vis serves some of the best French food in the area. I particularly love their shrimp cocktail and the way they thoughtfully curate their wine list to pair with the meals. It's a great setting for catching up with friends or family. Keep up the good work! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon Vis-à-Vis while wandering around Victoria, and I am so glad! The quality of the food here is fantastic. I had the seafood dish, which was perfectly seasoned. The decor adds a nice touch to the experience, and the service was quite helpful. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem in the heart of Oak Bay! My husband and I stumbled upon Vis-à-Vis during a walk, and what a lovely surprise it was. The bison shoulder was exquisite, and the atmosphere was just perfect for a romantic evening. Our server was delightful, making recommendations that truly enhanced our experience. Desserts were heavenly—especially the macarons. We will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Vis-à-Vis was nothing short of exceptional! The seafood sampler was heavenly, the portion size generous, and the wine pairing options were impressive. I felt the service elevated the dining experience with their attentiveness. A must-try if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Vis-à-Vis was an exciting stop on my culinary journey through Victoria. I had the duck confit, which was melt-in-your-mouth good, complemented by a superb wine selection. I do think they could work on their pacing; we had to wait a bit for the food, but it was worth the wait. Certainly, a place I would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try Vis-à-Vis after hearing so much about it! It was everything I hoped it would be! The service staff were friendly, and my dish was amazing! I cannot believe how much care they put into the menu. I think Vis-à-Vis will become a regular spot for me. " (*Curated Review*)
