    Mojito pitcher, very weak
    LA T.

    Located inside the Marriott this place is beautiful, with an outside area with heaters, overlooking the port - for when the weather permits. The food is tasty and the service is good. Try the short rib tagliatelle, very creamy and flavorful, on the smaller side portion wise. We opted for the Mojito pitcher which was all juice, the recipe needs to be altered for sure. It's the only thing we did not enjoy during our visit but had to mention. Our visit later to the bar was exceptional, good vibes, great service and lovely recommendations.

    Smoked salmon egg benefit (super delicious!!) (potatoes is very crispy)

    I don't know why the review for this place is not 5 stars. This place deserves like 6 stars!!! Service is excellent, literally some best services I've had. We ordered the smoked salmon eggs Benedict to share, the restaurant is super nice and actually split the portions into 2 separate plates for us. I've never had a restaurant that offers to do that for us!!! Portion is so generous too. Eggs Benedict's are absolutely delicious. Plating is gorgeous. Restaurant is next to the lake and has fantastic view of the city as well. Highly highly recommend! And thank you to our super duper nice waitress!

    Drink and cake

    I spent nice time at the bar. The bartenders were interactive and great. I had some carrot cake from a prior engagement that i brought to the bar and was looking for an alcoholic beverage to go with that. The bartender made this citrus based drink that was a classic

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE With good food and service as well as harbour views on tap, LURE doesn't need much to lure you in if you're staying at the Delta hotel or if you're in the area! === 2. FOOD We enjoyed a couple of breakfasts here and found that the Keenebec potatoes (hash browns) can certainly be enjoyed by two-years to 200-year olds - fantastic fresh potatoes with skin on, chopped into small cubes and lightly salted. You know something is cooked decently well when it doesn't need any sauce or Ketchup (unless you are my two-year old ;) The Forager Omelette ($17): a good-sized omelette with the aforementioned potatoes...eggs with bacon, onions, mushrooms, arugula (as opposed to the typical spinach) and cheese make for a great start to any day! The West Canadian Breakfast ($17): two eggs your way, bacon, sausage, multi-gran toast, and the potatoes - A&W may offer something similar but they take it up a notch here at LURE! Inner Harbour Benedict ($18): good things can come in small packages...the dish looks small but it's big on flavour! There something about poached eggs on smoked salmon that melts in your mouth, combined with Bearnaise sauce...the potatoes of course do the trick here too! Harbourside French Toast ($16): it really feels like someone took most of their Fruit & Granola dish and placed it on three pieces of angled-cut, lightly soaked toast. Those looking for a healthy option of French Toast will rejoice with this dish! === 3. SERVICE & ENVIRONMENT Dine-in service is offered with patrons spread out between the available booths and tables. It felt like the kitchen was working hard to keep up with the half-full patron load on both days but the bright and fantastic staff service really shone through to more than make up for it. The views on a typical day (smoky at the moment with the wildfires down South) would be amazing of the walking path below and the harbour. Patrons with wheelchairs and baby strollers fit in nicely and complimentary parking seems to be readily available underground (your receipt includes an exit code).

    This hotel along with the restaurant reopen a week ago. With all know how much it's harder to do a restaurant in during covid19, and I think they are doing good. Every employee have a mask, there is mark on the floor where you're supposed to circulate so every client appreciate these gestures of respect. This restaurant is really well located in front of the ocean in oak bay just on the side of the Empress hotel. The food is good I had a salmon burger who was good with good fries, and my wife had a salad with chicken who was good too. Its It's nothing fancy but they didn't overcharged and we can see the sea while we eat and they even have a table with a gas heater and lots of heaters outside too. I recommend it cause of the view and you can have a couple of drinks as they are not too expensive. Ce restaurant et l'hotel viennent juste de reouvrir il y a 1 semaine. Nous savons tous les limitations qu'engendre le covid19, et le restaurant prend toutes les précautions requises dans les circonstances. Les employés ont tous un masque et la direction est indiqué sur le plancher. Je crois que les clients apprécient ces gestes de respect. La location de ce restaurant est super bien situé juste en face du Pacifique sur le côté gauche de hôtel Empress. La nourriture est bonne, j'ai dégusté un bon burger de saumon et ma femme a bien aimée sa salade de poulet. C'est rien de bien compliqué mais le prix est correct, nous pouvons vous la mer, et boire quelques verres avec vue sur la mer, de plus il y a une table avec une chaufferette au cas et il ont plusieurs chaufferette sur pied sur la terrasse. Je recommande ce restaurant à cause de la vue sur la merbetvdes prix raisonnables qui vous permettent de relaxer en trinquent tout en ayant une belle vue sur la mer.

    Olive tapenade flatbread

    In my opinion, LURE has one of the best patios and ocean front views in Victoria. I came here a few times a few years ago when I lived in Victoria and have had a couple things from their menu. But upon looking at their menu on my most recent trip they've changed up their menu and a few of the things I've tried are no longer on the menu. On this particular trip, our large group of 10 came in on a Friday night and expected to wait a long time for a patio table, but surprisingly were able to snag a sweet, cozy spot right by the firepit. We all ordered two rounds of drinks, a few gin and tonics, vodka sodas, old fashioneds, and shafts (a local Victoria coffee cocktail) to go around. We also split a few olive tapenade flatbreads. I wasn't a big fan of the flatbreads, so I was here mostly to drink, to be fully honest. Our server was awesome, bubbly, and got our drinks and appies to us very quickly. I wish I remembered her name because she was lovely! This spot is great for a girl's night, date night, or anytime you want to enjoy a cocktail (or non-alchy bevvy) with a view.

    salty lamb meat balls, home made chips, fried chicken wings , mac & cheese and god awful pork belly ...way way way toooooo salty.

    So excited about returning back to Marriott hotels after a 15 year absence due to their horrible service .. they have improved a great deal. 1st night in, decided to try out the hotel restaurant .. "Lure"; big big big mistake. Sous Chef Brandon totally missed the boat .. we ordered 5 appetizers/small plates to share and could not finish the food. Over salting food does not add flavor ... it turns it to over salted garbage. Would not feed this crap to my dog. What a horrible experience .. we are here for a few more nights but will STAY CLEAR OF THIS LURE RESTAURANT. What a shame.

    Thankfully I ordered off the happy hour menu so was a bit cheaper..... however the Flavour of the bbq chipotle wings was tasty. However they were undercooked and rubbery. The Brussels were tasty but deep fried and quite burnt and squeezed with a ton of lemon juice! One hell of a view though! Staff was nice but seemed very rushed even though it was fairly quiet. However the service totally made up for the drop in the kitchen!! Maybe an off day and busier than I saw in the bar! Absolutely fantastic customer service!! Thank you Dylan for taking such good care of me!

    Really enjoyed our late night drink and fries. Our server was as sweet as pie and very attentive. The fries gave Idaho a run for its money.
