Reviews
This restaurant is truly amazing! Not only is the food outstanding, but the setting is also stunning with beautiful ocean views. The chef’s skills are impressive, and every ingredient tastes incredibly fresh. The medium-rare beef is so tender and juicy that it completely blew me away. The fries are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside—easily the best I’ve ever had. The salad is refreshing and well-balanced, complementing the meal perfectly. Dining here while enjoying the seaside view is an absolute pleasure. Every visit leaves me fully satisfied—definitely a 15/15 experience!

We had a wonderful breakfast this morning at Aura. Probably one of the best avocado toasts I’ve had in a long time. Really delicious, well presented. Balanced flavors. The pickled onions on top of the perfectly poached eggs was a nice touch. Great coffee. Stunning views of the water and large windows to let in the morning sun!

As always, absolutely outstanding food and service. Our waiter even provided a suggestion on dessert that was absolutely brilliant. This has long been a favorite of ours, and we most certainly will be returning.

Any non-5star review of this place is nuts. Everything was so delicious and interesting!

We recognize and respect that our property is located within the traditional Territory of the Lekwungen people, now known as the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationship with this land continues to this day.
