Sooke Harbour House

The kale in their Caesar salad was tough and unchewable. The croutons hard as a rock and tasteless. The grated cheese was almost nonexistent together with a dressing that barely was there. All that for only $19! Their $27 hamburger was very average at best. The music was unnerving and inappropriate. Never going back there again!

The Sooke Harbour House has the BEST Bartender. Her name is Kaila and she makes the most delicious drinks with flair and savy. If you sit at the bar she is fun to talk to as well. The Harbour house Bar and Grill is Oceanfront with a fabulous view of the Juan De Fuca Stait. Cheers!!!!

Overpriced, poor quality meals with mediocre service. This was a most disappointing experience. I recommend Bray’s, Wind Cries Mary or even Earl’s as a much better dining experience.

What a fantastic location! Beautiful views (from most, but not all, rooms) of the harbor and ocean. Saw orcas and seals. Kudos to the manager, who clearly is trying his hardest - he was so enthusiastic and helpful, if he could get everyone else to follow his lead this place would be spectacular. Food is mixed - breakfasts were great, as was the bakery that has a walk up window for croissants, breads, etc. Dinners, on the other hand, were too complicated, seemed like they were trying too hard. And small portions - still hungry when we finished.

Our few days at Sooke Harbour House were just what we wanted.....a relaxed getaway with delicious meals, ocean views, and lovely morning walks along the Spit. The staff, without exception, were courteous and friendly: knowledgeable about the property and environs. Be careful (if you are a senior or disabled) to specify the room type you require. We were a little flummoxed by a steep ladder to the library feature in our suite and a couple of stairs between the bed and bathroom.
