I'll never wait more than 30 minutes for a restaurant seat, I'll just find another restaurant with one exception, and that's Brasserie L'Ecole here in Victoria.
It's basically the best fine dining restaurant in Victoria (which unfortunately are few and far between), and it was me and my wife's anniversary. Plus they take your cell phone # down and call you when your seat's ready so you can leave and have a few drinks elsewhere or enjoy the Fringe festival for a bit (as my wife and I did that day).

Funny someone mentioned Antons. I have a buddy that loves that place and thinks the food is amazing, I tell him he doesn't have a clue about food.
Exactly. I made a trip out here to check it out, so I was committed to waiting. It really isn't that bad. Most that people that go are with friends, so really, everyone is chatting and have a great time before the anticipation of an awesome meal.

It's not like you can find something similar somewhere else with no waiting, this ain't no McDonalds.
