Great cocktails, albeit pricey. The experience was tainted by the most inhospitable staff. From entry to exit, we all felt like we were in one of those abusive-treatment joints.. It was weird and I guess they just want the place for them and their friends only..

Waitress welcomes us by saying "there is no mingling between tables" before being seated. The ten of us swiftly walked out the door.Very unwelcoming.✌️ first visit in a while and won't be back. Ce-no-thanks

Excellent vibes and tunes here. The menu is varied and entrée portions are massive! Each one could feed two so don't be afraid to share. The Tuna Nicoise Salad blew my mind! ?? Incredible flavor. We also had Salmon Toast as well as the Flatbread pizza. The drink specials are creative and tasty Such a delightful dinner. We'll be back to this very chic spot.

Just went again for the second time in 2 weeks. The bartender was on point and the food was to die for. Definitely an under-rated spot in victoria and some of the best food I've had at a decent price. Will always be a 5 star for Me and I love coming back any time I'm downtown

Casual and laidback place to grab a few drinks and bites with friends. The menu caters to different tastes, and their special drinks are a hit. We went when they had a vanilla grapefruit margarita that went down well with the whole table.Had this place recommended to me from a list of best nachos in Victoria. Cenote definitely ranks high on the nacho list. The chips stand up and are miles ahead of big name prepackaged stuff. We got a good covering of toppings and the salsa was a standout. Would highly recommend grabbing the nachos if you’re a fan!

Excellent food & service! The Chef is amazing! My plate was Pesto Squash Fusilli and dessert Shaft Tiramisu ?✅oh my goodness, wonderful! I recommend it ?! Nice restaurant , decor and music!?

I Get dragged here a lot for my night caps. I don't know what it's, not my favourite ...but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the place, the cocktails are good, has a few good dishes, waitresses are good , bartenders sometimes have attitude but at least make a good drink.I think it's the layout that is not my fav, if you come here with a date it would be worth it because the private tables have a nice ambiance, but there are better places if you're looking for something else

We just came for drinks and got really good drinks. I prefer sweet things, and the Yucatan Sam hit the right spot! There was virtually no wait to get in, and it was a good place to end the night with.

Amazing cocktails that were perfectly mixed, beautiful presentation, cozy room. The chicken flatbread was so good too!

Great service. Nice cocktails. Super tasty nachos with lots of jalapenos. A hint pricey, but you get what you pay for here ❤️.
