Food was tasty and pretty. Love they had locally sourced meats. Porcupine shrimp were a unique treat.
Servers were knowledgeable, attentive, personable.
The gardens around the restaurant were lovely, inside the converted character home was warm and inviting, outside could use a paint it seems.
They are nailing their philosophy: “serve flavourful, unique food in a welcoming environment with relaxed, professional service.”
Four stars not five - the drink menu was disappointing. Limited and lack of local wines by the glass, bar spirits were generic. There are so many amazing Vancouver Island vineyards, distilleries and breweries - why not highlight and support them as they try to do with the food sourcing.

This restaurant does it all, the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. The service was second to none, I felt as though I was an old friend and this was my first experience. The food was indescribable to the point I had to ask if they had a Michelin start, I can't believe they don't, Mahle House Restaurant should. Highly recommend you come here for the food and the experience.

Another wonderful dinner at the Mahle House! We love that this historic home has been preserved and is now a restaurant. The food was high-quality, the staff were friendly, authentic, and provided a superb service, especially Lisa?, Lara?. We noticed one of our go-to desserts was no longer available and the chef took time out from the kitchen to come and talk to us. The sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée more than made up for it. I would have taken more pictures but I got so caught up in the food, I kept forgetting until after I cleaned the plate. Totally worth a trip up from Victoria to visit this hidden gem.
