My wife and I visited Aura recently for dinner and enjoyed it thoroughly. We were seated in a romantic table for two surrounded by windows overlooking Victoria harbour. Although the restaurant was fairly busy, we were provided an attentive and educated service. The lobster bisque was delightful and the lamb was tender and flavourful. Would recommend and are planning on... More

Recently my partner and I had the pleasure of dining at the Aura restaurant for our 20th wedding anniversary; two weeks later we’re still in awe of the experience we had. It’s important to know that we are people who eat out often but never venture into hotel restaurants, but we’d received some trustworthy recommendations so we took a chance.... More

Went for Sunday breakfast. It was a bad sign that the restaurant only had a few tables full but already they had run out of menus! The modern classy decor was ruined by a big screen tv playing sports. The amuse bouche were a pleasant unexpected touch at breakfast- lemon loaf was moist and lemony, but the smoothy shooters were...

We were staying at the hotel and were looking for something light and simple. At 530 I made a reservation for 630 and was told it was a busy night, implying I should be happy they could accommodate us.

The restaurant is lovely from the food and service to the ambiance. The ambiance is great for a special date or a date with friends, and the... More

Aura has a location that is beyond compare - beautiful setting with food that is equally as beautifully presented and with the more important ingredient - fantastic taste! Add to that, helpful, attentive service and you have a winner. Prices are high and this is not a restaurant you would go to regularly without a 6 figure income, but for... More

We stayed at the Inn at Laurel Point for an entire week, and I did my best to avoid eating here after having a quick look at the prices on the menu. No offense, the price are comparable to other restaurants in Victoria, but when you are feeding an entire family you tend to look for a deal here and... More

We dined here as part of a local promotion with fixed price menus called Dine Around Victoria. We had the wine pairing menu which for $55 included 3 courses with wine, which we thought was good value. My husband had the hazelnut and pork pate to start and I had what amounted to a pesto soup with a very long... More
