Inside the hotel so you know you are paying hotel prices. However, the location is great and even better at night. You see all the lights around the water!! You really can't beat it. We came in for drinks and dessert. I got the white sangria and it didn't have quite as much fruit as others I've had. However it was good. We ended up getting the scallop as a snack and they were soft and I enjoyed the sauce. We also got the 2 desserts for $25. I really liked my lemongrass creme brulee with the macaroon. I enjoyed it and my cousin enjoyed her chocolate one as well. It was very chocolately. Overall, not bad for a hotel. Beautiful nighttime views!! read more

This restaurant located inside of the Marriott is super convenient and has great service. It's a bit pricey - I paid $18 for a bowl of oatmeal but it was served with dried fruit, toasted pistachios, and fresh fruit and small container of warm turmeric honey latte. My husband said his bowl of lavender yogurt with granola and fruit was also very good ($20) For dinner, my husband had the sous vide short rib and I had the prawn tagliatelle. The short rib was a pretty small portion, but he said it was very good. I really liked the pasta! For dessert we shared the apple tart tatin with ice cream. It wasn't my favorite - I think I wanted more crust and chunks of apple. We were here on a Thursday night. The live music was wonderful. The musician has a beautiful voice!! read more

On December 12, I went to Lure with a friend who had booked through OpenTable. I ordered a non-alcoholic beer and the red Thai chicken curry. The food did not seem fresh--the chicken was separated from the sauce, and the dish didn't taste right. I ate most of it because I was very hungry, but when I got home, I experienced stomach pain and couldn't sleep that night. It made me wonder what might have been in the curry. In addition, the service was disappointing. The waitress seemed very pushy and appeared too tired to engage or provide proper service. read more

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. read more

Very good food! Bacon mozzarella burger was so yummy...little messy but worth it! Caesar salad was good also, Loved the croutons and bacon on it! Our waiter Jude very quick and friendly! Would recommend! read more

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! read more

LURE Restaurant & Bar - Smoked salmon egg benefit (super delicious!!) (potatoes is very crispy) - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Great setting. Love the Fish and Chips, Cobb Salad. Waiter Tim friendly. Five stars earned justified.

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 read more

=== 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). read more

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. read more

The food is outstanding and the service is about as nice as you can find in Victoria. My partner and I stayed at the Delta hotel during a birthday trip to Victoria and popped into Lure for a quick lunch..WOW! We were shocked at the quality of food being so great! The burger is delicious as is the grilled chicken sandwich, excellent drinks. We get free breakfast in the club lounge of the hotel but opted to eat at LURE because we knew breakfast had to be great and it did not disappoint! We had to tell the manager of the property just how good the LURE staff had been because the service and friendliness was impressive! read more

Pretty good food. A little over priced, but to be expected at a hotel on the water in a tourist city. I had the Bacon mozzarella burger ($25) with fries. The burger was awesome but messy. The fries were blah. Wife had a salad that she added prawns to ($28!!) the prawns were delicious, the salad was nice but the dressing was not for us. We ordered cheesecake to go ($15). It was smaller than a hockey puck. Probably $2 worth cheesecake. Our total bill with tip was about $80. This was a $50 meal at best. But, we were staying here so we paid for convenience. I've heard the breakfast is good. Worth a try if you don't mind spending the money. read more

FOOD POISONING Ate here for dinner with my parents and husband. They all enjoyed their meals, but I got the chicken sandwich and got HORRIBLE food poisoning. Vomiting all night. Not sure what was wrong with it. When I was eating it, I didn't like it, it was super messy, the aioli was too strong. Anyway, 1 star for my family liking it & because it had good views of the harbor. UPDATE: I called the restaurant to tell them about my food poisoning, to which they apologized, but told me it wasn't them and their food wasn't the source because they checked their temperature log & "food poisoning doesn't start until 24hrs" (which is not true, look it up on the CDC website). Needless to say, I wish I could give negative 10 stars. read more

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.

The place got a great view like everyone said. Servers there are super genuine instead of fake earls kinda waitresses. After seeing the reviews, I didn't have high hope about food but they were great! - charred brussel sprouts, they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, bit tangy, with bit chilli oil, it was great and neat. My husband's fave dish - lure express was perfect portion, I was very impressed with how juicy the chicken breast was. I normally don't like sandwich but that one was very tasty - prawn fettuccine was kinda interesting, the prawns were fresh and big. My husband had it, he loved it - we also had cheesecake brûlée and dark chocolate pot de creme. They were super good as well. Overall, I think the place is reasonable priced judging by its location and all. I think they could charge more but they didn't. Food was excellent. Definitely recommend this place. Food were sooo good and I forgot to take photos! WENT BACK AGAIN The next day FOR THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS read more

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. read more

We originally had plans to go to Boom and Batten but the wait time was 2 hours so we decided to walk to Lure.... We wish we hadn't. Very very disappointing and underwhelming experience here, it was so unappetizing we didn't take any photos... And the limited lunch menu was a huge letdown. Ordered the "shrimp" BLT...what a bloody disaster and disappointment. No lie here but there was a whopping 3 - YES 3 shrimp on the sandwich, the avocado made a complete mushy mess of the sandwich and it fell apart every time you tried to pick up half of it to eat. I gave up and used a fork and knife. My hands were filthy with avocado residue along with the extreme amount of sauce they put on the bread. My realtor friend had the avocado toasties, that alone for the price was an embarrassment. For the price, we won't be back, even the service was cruddy and we felt ignored and we weren't talked to by our server for almost 10 minutes after sitting down (the restaurant had 5 other tables during lunch time and with the Van Gogh exhibit in the vicinity, we assumed it would be packed, this alone should have made us go elsewhere) When an almost empty restaurant that has stunning views, during peak season, is this slow, there is a reason for it One request, balance your tables, there is nothing nice about a topsy table when you are eating. Good luck Lure, with so many other stellar restaurants in your area, you need to up your game. read more

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. read more

LURE Restaurant & Bar - salty lamb meat balls, home made chips, fried chicken wings , mac & cheese and god awful pork belly ...way way way toooooo salty. - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

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! read more

Considering that the menu failed to impress either myself or my vegetarian boyfriend and we ended up seeking another restaurant for dinner after we finished our drinks, I can't seem to muster more than three stars despite the restaurants stunning location on the Victoria waterfront. My friends decided to host their pre-wedding gathering at LURE but left the event open-ended for either dinner or drinks. We originally planned on going out to dinner first but then found ourselves aboard a water taxi from the Fisherman's Village en route back to our Airbnb in Chinatown. After a pit stop at the Empress, our boat pulled up to the dock of LURE and we decided that we might as well just make our appearance now. We perused the dinner menu but nothing jumped out at us so we decided to just grab a drink instead. I chose the Moscato Coast, a mixed drink that includes my favorite wine, moscato, Malibu rum, pineapple juice, 7-up and grapefruit. Basically, all my favorite flavors in one and it was nice and refreshing. We ultimately decided to move on around 9 pm as the number of open restaurants was rapidly dwindling and we needed to find something to eat. read more

We are frequent guests of the Delta Ocean Point by Marriott Resort in Victoria. We know there are so many great restaurants and lounges in town but we still take all our meals at Lure. Breakfast and weekend brunch are first rate--we highly recommend the Eggs Bennie! Kate and Gord are on in the morning and they couldn't be more hospitable. The lounge is a bit lively for us as we are approaching senior status, but it looks like great fun for the younger crowd! At night the Lure food and wine are lovely and the view is exquisite. Why would we eat anywhere else? read more

We just arrived in Victoria and while we were waiting for our room, we decided to grab a quick lunch. The reviews for this place was mediocre, but with our toddler a bit tired from the trip out, it seemed like the easier choice to eat at the hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality (and quantity) of food we got. I had the burger which was excellent and my wife had the soup / salads / half sandwich combo which was also very good. Yuzu tart is spot on. Kids menu has a good variety and reasonably priced. Would I go out of my way to come here to this restaurant? Probably not. But, for a hotel restaurant that is convenient, this is definitely a place I would go to again. read more

This is a great spot for a view of the harbor. They have good food options and something for everybody. The service is okay. It definitely could be better but it might be short staffed because of COVID. Great if you're staying in the hotel as well. read more

OK, I don't get why this restaurant doesn't have better reviews.? I guess maybe people didn't eat what I ate our server Adam, was wonderful. He made great suggestions, the mussels were absolutely divine, and we also had the Crabcakes and calamari. If I were to choose in order my favorites it would go #1 the mussels, then the yummy crabcakes, and then third in the line up, the calamari. I think what made the mussels so wonderful was the curry sauce, a rich spicy flavor and with the thick slices of grilled bread, it was incredibly dip-able. Adam didn't steal us wrong with beer either. We seem to try different beers everywhere we go, and Victoria has a lot of local breweries and several were on tap here. The Race Rock from Lighthouse Brewery and it was lovely, very well balanced. I'd eat here again, I throughly enjoyed the food, the view and the service. read more

I find ourselves at the Lure for breakfast when we're visiting Victoria from Vancouver. The staff is attentive and super nice. They seem to be always near by when needed.

The Lure is definitely not like other hotel restaurants offering mediocre food. I would definitely recommend to friends and family! read more

Nice location right at the waterfront, was seated right away and took a while for the server to take the order from us, a big group was about to come eat brunch and was worried that it will take forever to get the food but fortunately I didn't take long and we got the food in time. Delicious and well prepared, would love to try other items on the menu the next time we visit! Located at the hotel where we stayed at so that was a plus. read more

Good food nice portions good service nice restaurants inside and outdoor seating, fun night

Came to LURE to enjoy seafood for a couple friends graduations and so we could treat them to a worry free night out. Dinner went fine for the most part food was okay (terrible portion) but drinks were bland... that is until they called me two hours later saying that they undercharged my credit card and that I owed $83 more dollars and demanded that I return before closing (it was 9:30pm already). The only reason they had my contact information was because I was responsible enough to make a reservation online. The manager was being short with me and couldn't even explain the situation until the waitress (who by the way was a sweetheart) had to come over and explain it to her again. Mistakes happen but the manager should have taken the onus to comp the remaining total and have the decency to actually understand the situation and be able to explain it to the customer. That is literally your job as a manager. I find it egregious that they ruined our celebration and made me come back to fix their mistake... would much rather go to Boom+Batten. By the way, don't order the Sushi Bowl, it's literally a bite size portion for $29+tax read more

Had breakfast here three days and provided lunch for our meetings. Firstly as others have mentioned this is the restaurant located in the Delta with fantastic harbour views. Having breakfast here in the morning was akin to enjoying some of the fantastic morning vibe that Victoria exudes. Sun rising, calm downtown harbour with minimal boats buzzing around. Idyllic peaceful serene setting is about the best way I can describe breaking bread as the sun rises here. They have a nice patio (if it's warm enough). We had breakfast out here one day and one day it was inside. The restaurant is modern clean and service was quite good. Let's face it folks, hotel restaurants aren't exactly your definition of inexpensive. They are however the diametrical opposite. However the food here was delish. Two of the three days I needed to indulge in the smoked salmon eggs Benny. To say it was delicious is an understatement. It's creamy awesome! The other day I had a granola muesli. It was good but didn't seem too overly complicated that you could replicate at home. The lunches were filling, tasty and fresh. One day we had a make your own burger served up to our meeting room. The other day it was soup and sandwich. Overall of the high price doesn't nip your wallet it's good food. Overall it's a strong 3.5 stars for me but with the harbour view I'll bump it up to a 4. read more
