10 Acres Commons

Great spot.
Service was fast and friendly and food was really good. As a table of six this is what we ate and what we thought:
1 dozen superior oysters - delish and creamy - (top tip oysters are 1/2 price between 2-5pm and 9pm- close)
Buffalo chicken wings - nice flavour however they were very small and not served with blue cheese dressing/dip so lost a few marks there for us.
the burger - delicious straight up delicious- classic smash burger - portion is on the large side - IMO the burger could be smaller and just as satisfying
lamb burger - very good like the beef burger it is a hefty portion.
steak sandwich- opened faced served on grilled bread and topped with arugula - meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned
commons bowl with Tuna Tataki and a green godess(ish) dressing - this dish was delicious- I would readily order again!!!
seafood cannellini- this is the only dish that was underwhelming- overly salty and very rich

All in all a great experience!

Came to Victoria from Seattle for a day trip. Was looking for a place to eat with my daughter. Decided to eat here as the menu looked good and we were hungry.
Our waitress seemed kind of rude. I swear she semi snatched the menus out of my hand when I was handing it to her. I looked at my daughter and she gave me the look like she saw it too. When my daughter said thank you, the waitress said you're welcome with her back turned already walking away from the table. It took forever to get the check, I mean bill. I was corrected by the waitress. I had to flag down the hostess for the waitress to bring the bill. I tipped 18% when it was more 10% service. The restaurant was not busy.

I gave 2 stars.
The drink I ordered was a spicy margarita and it was delicious!! The best part of the meal.

My daughter ordered the burger and she really enjoyed it and ate almost the whole thing.

The Calamari and it was ok. It has a curry taste that we weren't expecting but it works.

The Caesar salad was ok. I had to use a knife as the lettuce pieces were huge.

I'm going to blame the heat for the unhappy service. Even though it wasn't hot inside the restaurant. Maybe she's having a bad day? Sucky service which made the lunch suck.

Has an inviting outdoor patio along Humboldt Street that's great for warmer days and has a lively happy hour. The tables in the patio area are very close to each other, so you might need to ask the guests at the neighboring table to scoot their chair in a bit so you can sit at your table. The service was friendly.

Ordered the following happy hour items:
1/2 dozen half price superior oysters - got 3 Gold Bay oysters (grassy, slightly creamy) and 3 Fanny Bay oysters (creamy and rich), the oysters tasted good and were fresh
Burger - good smash burger taste, the fries were delicious
Sushi platter - prawn tempura roll, spicy tuna roll and side of tuna tataki; all were fresh but nothing special
Chicken wings - salt and pepper with sweet lime sauce on the side; the wings were tasty, nicely seasoned, and fried

The salt and pepper chicken wings with sweet lime sauce on the side and fries were the standout items from the happy hour menu that I would order again.

Half off oysters after 9pm!! For a group of 6 we got a table right away. This was an adorable restaurant and bar with a live DJ playing good vibes. Food and drinks were delicious and well priced on the happy hour at that time as well. Very attentive service.

Cool place on the main strip and harbor area. Lots of fun at the bar and great service. It was slammed on a Saturday but still had seating at the bar.

Lots of unique apps like Sticky Baby Back Ribs, Pork Carnitas Tacos, but decided for the Prawn Tacos. Very, very tasty with a mild kick (but I like spice). Also saw Clam Chowder and a Cobb Salad that looked good. Bold menu statement with "The Burger" (their quotes). It apparently has a secret sauce (mayonnaise base) and bacon! I'd also like to try the Chicken Burger because of the guacamole!!! Wow, great menu!!

I'd love to go back next time I'm in Victoria. Give them a try!

We had good service and the manager even recognized my Rabbitos jersey . Oysters were very good and reasonably priced compared to the TX coast. Shushi platter was a generous portion, not a knockout roll but good. Wife had a burger which was very good along with a non-alcohol drink which I recommend. Will be back next visit.

Wow - some spectacular tacos here. We wish we ordered a third order of the recommended Rajas. We settled for the chicken and pork to start and it was packed with flavor and spice. You can taste how fresh every bit of the ingredients were.

Pricy $17-19 tacos (3 ct) and no side is the only setback. 10 Acres Commons has an outdoor patio that gives a corner view of the water and the inside is fun and plenty of various seating types for all party sizes.

Service was attentive and kind.

Very meager portions. My $17 salad had a few nuts, a tablespoon or two of goat cheese on it and was underdressed. The fried calamari seemed to be cut up and breaded to give the appearance of a larger portion. It as if the kitchen was rationing the food, but they still charged premium prices. Also, our table of 4 had 2 cups and 2 forks and we had to ask for both cups and silverware. Outdoor chairs were uncomfortable while also being squeezed in. I cannot recommend and we don't plan to return.

First place we stopped by after checking in at the Fairmont Empress Hotel and first time in Victoria. On a non busy Tuesday dinner, the service was horrible. The waitress only came to take our order, never checks and never refilled water. Had to waive my arm profusely to get the bill and the place wasn't even a quarter full. First, it took a while for her to come take our order. Waited 45 minutes for our food, except for a salad entree that never came. finally had to cancel the salad since my whole party (5 of us total) had finished their meals and still no salad. Nonetheless I was livid. One caution... this is seriously not family friendly like at all so I wish we researched better places. However, it was the first restaurant we saw coming out of the Fairmont so be sure to explore better options if you are staying there. Food was bleh... over dressed coleslaw.Clam chowder was super small and with garlic bread (extra charge) was $17 for extremely mediocre quality. In the end, was just disappointed and shocked the location was money so thought it had to be good...

This place has some good quality food and craft beer. The ceviche was very good with a mix of fish, shrimp and clams. I liked it a lot. The haddock fish and chips were good but a little small for the fish. Same thing with the tacos very good but small.

Overall the flavors were on point but I thought it was overpriced and small portioned. Atmosphere was nice and typical gastro pub. Service was just ok. I don't think I got the value for the prices they charge.
