excellent service, good looking food, however.... this restaurant has some of the nicest views. there is a new chef in the kitchen, for about one month now. service was excellent. the food looked really good, but i was not impressed with the taste. the melon appetizer was ok, my halibut was overdone, the potatoes were still hard. the bite i had from my partners short rib was very chewy. i was not impressed with the $21.00 dessert platter we shared. this used to be one of my favorite restaurants but i won't be coming back here for a while.

pricey but impressive.. aura at the laurel point inn is one of my favorite upscale restaurants in victoria. forlunchtry the west coast b.l.t. grilled albacore tuna, baby frisée, sun wing farm's tomatoes, avocado, crispy pancetta, very delicous and tastefully presented.
although a bit pricey, the restaurant has an impressive view, serves excellent coffee and the ambience is elegant yet relaxing.
