Went to Aurora at Poet's cove after a lovely couples massage for our anniversary. The room is very nice, the view spectacular, our server (Ryland) very good - helpful, knowledgeable and good to talk to. The food was really good - oysters, steak tartare, braised lamb agnolloti - and with super wines by the glass. Only down side was the... More

The Aurora served up a fantastic dinner menu and a wonderful breakfast buffet. We enjoyed a wonderful seafood dinner - large, very delicious scallops, followed by a lobster pasta that was equally tasty. The server was great and very attentive to dietary restrictions, accommodating necessary changes without a blink. A quiet, romantic dinner with a fabulous view!

This is a great place for breakfast, the service is wonderful and friendly, and the view of Poets Cove is fantastic. This is the second time we have eaten here, and we will be back in the future. The food is well prepared, and the chief will take special requests in the preparation of an individual order. If you are... More

Food just wasn't that good. Breakfast buffet was terrible. Not a lot of food options once you get here.

Wednesday night special - $25 per person for 3-course dinner - fresh salad; roast prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, creamed mashed potatoes and fresh veges; creme brulee, cheesecake or chocolate ganache to finish. Good wine and beer list. And all while watching the first night of the NHL Playoffs! (Canucks vs. Los Angeles). Friendly restaurant manager Jayce, and server Oliver looked... More

The room is beautiful with full length windows and doors that open onto a large outdoor patio which is spectacular in the summer. Dinner on March 27, 2012 was excellent. We had braised lamb shank and the steak special which were both excellent. We shared the mussels as an appetizer and it was excellent. Breakfast on March 28, 2012 was... More
