Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Victoria

Excellence customer service, prompt attention in timely and presentation. Cozy environment and my kids enjoyed the Gingerbread festival case after the breakfast. I am very grateful with Wayne who gave us an appropriate table , Prena who was the Restaurant server for us and the welcoming approach from the Restaurant manager Angela.

The Tasting menu was superb with the wine pairings.

Overall the food was very good, I had the salmon and scallops which was delicious but a fairly small portion considering its $44 price tag. My wife had the linguini which was according to her, very good, and was a much better sized portion, we even had some leftover to take home. We started with the grilled flatbread which was yummy, but not very serviceable as a flatbread. We ate ours with knife and fork, it was impossible to pick up without losing all the contents. Cheesecake for dessert was good, and all the drinks we had were delicious. Our server was polite and attentive, but not terribly personable.

Steamship Grill and Bar is my go to dining stop every time I visit Victoria. Whether I'm there on a business trip or on vacation - the food and service are always excellent.

Overall experience was excellent given location of restaurant with beautiful views of Inn-Harbour. Aura would benefit if presenting more options for vegetarian dishes.
