OMNI Brewery & Taproom - Victoria — Restaurant in Victoria

Stopped there yesterday with the bike club. One person working the tap room, one person delivering food. Long line to place our order. By the time we could place our order, two employees walk out from a back room where a youth sports team was having a gathering. The female employee got a tablet & started taking orders while the male employee left. I was driving, so I ordered a large lemonade only to be told that they no longer serve lemonade on it's own because they can't get it in kegs. It's lemonade! Mix lemon juice, water & sugar for Pete's sake! It's not rocket science! Google a recipe! Our food took an hour to arrive. I ordered a chicken & cheese quesadilla & my husband ordered a flatbread. The menu said "seasoned chicken". No idea what the seasoning might have been because the cheese overpowered the chicken. The only reason this review has 2 stars is due to the efforts of the lone tap room attendant and the young man delivering the food. Both looked like they would rather be somewhere else, but kept...

So excited to have Omni in Victoria! We’ve been twice while in the transition and are looking forward to the grand opening in July!

Pizzas are delicious wood fired with really yummy varieties, crust is so good! We’ve really enjoyed all of the pizzas we’ve tried and our kiddos love the cheese kids pizza. Would love to see a salad or over option for starters that isn’t a carb, but fabulous food so far!

We’ve primarily had their wine so far which has been good. The Sauvignon Blanc and most of the reds have been enjoyable. The beer menu was limited when we last visited but that is expanding in July.

It’s very much a self-service style so know that before frequenting. Plates, napkins and utensils etc are all at stations for customer self service and the staff primarily runs food. That doesn’t bother me personally but it’s not always what we’re in the mood for so helpful to set those expectations.

So much potential and we’re excited to continue...

WOW. I mean, wow, the beers.

Our "bartender", who was my initial impression on my very first visit, threatened to ruin my Enki experience (She was awful. Insulting and discourteous. Yeah I'm talking to you, girl with the messy braid).... but the beers immediately made up for the offensive staff!!

I lean toward Stouts, Porters, & Reds... and I absolutely loved these varieties, as well a number of Enki's other selection of lighter brews as well. (The Octoberfest should be experienced!)

Honestly, after my first exposure to the bartender who clearly know NOTHING about the offerings (or didn't care to share her knowledge), I was shocked by how impressive the entire selection was.

We walked out with (8) 24-ouncers, To Go. Normally I would never do that at a place with such poor service... but the brews were...
