Denny's - Colwood

We ordered the Turkey Dinner and it was excellent! The turkey was moist, the corn was sweet, and the stuffing was flavorful and filling.

It's difficult to give a comprehensive review as I have only visited this restaurant late at night, but I was disappointed by the service provided by the staff.

My husband received the incorrect order, but the food was still enjoyable. We didn't inform the server about the mistake, but overall the food was excellent.

Oh, my...what a shock! The delicious breakfasts we've had here did not prepare us for the ordeal of dinner at Denny's in Colwood. I ordered the Turkey Dinner and my husband ordered the Chicken Avocado Caesar. First of all, although the restaurant was nearly empty, the food took well over an hour to arrive. Several tables came in after us, and all of them received their food before we did. The ice machine was broken, so the glasses of water we received quickly became lukewarm. I deigned not to order a cocktail without ice. There was a lot of noise on the lower level of the restaurant, not because of customers, but because the hockey game was on, and the staff were gathered around screaming and hollering. In addition, all the patrons who came in after us were seated immediately around us, and each table had ever coughing patrons with deep bubbling liquid coughs. When the turkey dinner arrived, the turkey was tough, the stuffing, while a generous portion, had a lingering stale flavour that told me it was past it's "best by" date. The cranberry sauce needed to be requested. The Avocado Chicken Caesar had no croutons or parmesan, and 3 very thin slices of avodado. On the plus side the vegetables on the turkey plate were hot and the zucchini slices cooked to perfection. The gravy was fine. The service was friendly, but the quality of the food and length of time it took to get it, coupled with lukewarm drinks and no cocktails really put us off. On top of this, it was damp and 12 degrees outside, but the air conditioning was going full tilt. We could not wait to get out of there. This is our first and last dinner here.

After spending the day at butchart garden & resting in our hotel room, we decided to stop by this Denny's not too far from our hotel. At first it looked like it was closed because you can't see inside from the windows. However, we figured it was open because it was Denny's. It was a Tuesday night, at around 10 pm. We were visiting from the U.S. so we were shocked to see the exact same menu. I found it funny how they had the red white and blue slam special on the front page of the menu. Overall, the food was OK, nothing more, nothing less.
