Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
Seasonal menus and daily specials include seafood, duck, chicken, beef, lamb and vegetarian selections with a great wine list to match!
Enjoy delicious meals created from Vancouver Island’s finest local ingredients served in a casual setting with great service and spectacular waterfront views.
LURE Restaurant and LURE Lounge are located at the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort and Spa, an easy 5 minute walk over the Johnson Street "blue bridge" from Victoria's downtown centre.
"Lure at Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe offers a picturesque view of the capital city's Inner Harbour. A relaxing way to start the day, with a variety of breakfast dishes to suit any palate, my personal favourite being the Harbour Continental that includes delicious smoked salmon on a freshly toasted, cream cheese and chive topped multigrain bagel, and a refreshing selection of fresh fruits. Absolutely delicious! If a more traditional egg centered meal is more to your liking, the soft poached eggs are cooked to perfection every time. The friendly, welcoming wait staff go out of their way to ensure that whatever you order is served with efficient, courteous, speedy service, but never the feeling that you are being rushed. Relax and enjoy!"

Review 2 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"I had made a reservation in advance, indicated it was our anniversary so that we could have a nice table near the window. The table we were given was great and the view was fantastic. When we placed our order I specifically said we weren't in any rush, yet our appetizers were delivered very fast even before the drinks had arrived. Moments after finishing our appetizer (which went down quickly as it was delicious) our entrees arrived. Although efficient and quick service is often what a customer hopes for, we felt rushed through our dinner. We had hoped to sit and relax and enjoy our special evening out but we were in and out of the restaurant in 50 mins. We enjoyed our dinner but may reconsider special occasions in the future."

Review 4 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"On may 2nd we made a window reservation and received the best view. I found the menu to be rather limited apart from the seafood. My partner had the pork and said it was really creamy. The chocolate cake was very good The staff were very helpful, friendly and polite. Overall I would recommend Lure but only for special occasions and if you are prepared to spend the money."

Review 6 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"Everything was great, the service, the fantastic view and ambiance...except the food. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't excellent either. The scallop was cooked perfectly and tasty but the crab cakes were bland. I ordered the rack of lamb with granola, the lamb was cooked medium and it was perfect. However, the sauce with granola was weird, it was sweet and yet minty. I was expecting something savoury and possibly a touch of sweetness but the hints of mint was throwing me off. It was like eating an entree and dessert at the same time. My husband had the halibut and again, the sauce was bland.
There was no dish that we would go back there for. The view was fantastic though."

Review 7 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"I have booked a table in advance in Lure asking to hold a special table as it was my boyfriends bday. We were greeted in a friendly manner and shown to our table, which as we discovered later was the best table. service was great. We ordered crabcakes and calamari to start and they were great! very tender and gentle!Then we ordered special duck breast that didnt disappoint either! And we finished with goat cheesecake and flour-less chocolate cake. They have written Happy Birthday on my boyfriends plate which was nice since we did not mention that it was his birthday since we arrived. i was a bit disappointed in flourless cake as it seemed a bit too dense, dry and a bit hard to eat. Overall, it was a great choice for a romantic celebration!"

Review 8 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"Our guest could not eat her Ceasar salad as she found it too spicy, and the price was deducted from the bill. The serving staff was very good, but I did not feel rushed. The main dish servings were small but tasty. The wine sold by the glass was excellent. The harbour view was lovely. On the whole the noise level was not bad, especially later in the evening. We got lost in the parking lot after parking the car, but managed to find our way to the dining room. It was an enjoyable evening."

Review 9 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"Service was outstanding. Food however was a little disappointing. Presentation was excellent. I had seared scallops for and appy and they were perfectly done. Main course was duck breast and unfortunately it was over done and as a result it was tough and not very palatable. My wife's halibut was also over cooked and very dry."

Review 11 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"I was especially impressed that asking for a change in the entree was met with immediate agreement. The server came by after to assure me that it was what I had asked for even though it was presented in just as pleasing a manner as my dining partner's dish. The fish was cooked perfectly, something that many restaurants seem unable to accomplish."

Review 13 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"Great restaurant, lovely views. A bit too noisy to have a business dinner, but we just cut back on the agenda... I've been to the Lure several times, and have no hesitation in recommending it."

Review 14 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"I really enjoyed the view from this restaurant I would go back just for that. My brunch was great but some others in my party thought theirs fell a little flat. We did receive complimentary hot cross buns (which is great), but they were cold and a little dry. Overall though I enjoyed my meal and will go back in a heart beat."

Review 15 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"We went here for a birthday and we had a quiet table with a wonderful view or the harbour. The service was ok, not great and there were long delays between courses. I had the Risotto which was disappointing and my partner had the Halibut which was quite good. The wine selection was good and the flour-less chocolate cake was our favourite bite of the evening. For the future I would skip dinner and go for drink and dessert and enjoy the view of the harbour."

Review 18 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"This was a milestone birthday dinner and we had a beautiful, corner table that was very romantic and within ear range of the piano in the bar. Gorgeous view of the harbor sunset and lights. The calamari is to die for, the crab cakes were good too, excellent presentation and you got A LOT OF FOOD! None of that little food on big plates. I had the New York steak, rare and it was pure perfection! My husband had the halibut fish and chips and they were delicious as well. Highly recommend the goat cheese brulee cheesecake with a lavender crust, got it to go and it was divine. They seemed a little short staffed, but our waitress was a sweetie pie and made it a lovely evening with her extra touches. We will dine at LURE again!"

Review 19 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"Wonderful dining experience - as always. Our meals were: soup & chowder starters, lamb & halibut mains, goat cheesecake dessert. All excellent. Restaurant was very busy so service was a little slower than usual but did not take away from overall experience. Great server and we appreciate the teamwork with other staff. Enjoyed listening to the pianist in the adjoining bar area. View - our favourite Victoria place for us, and for taking visitors. We're looking forward to going back again very soon."

Review 20 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"My wife and I came to Lure for our 5th anniversary. I had let the restaurant know about the occasion and they reserved for us an amazing corner table next to the windows overlooking the harbor. Derek, I believe his name was, was our waiter and provided very attentive service but also knew we weren't there to chit chat. We decided to do entrees instead of the Dine Around menu, which looked like a great deal. I was surprised at how small the portions were for the price. $35 for 6-8 1-to-2 bite frenched lamb chops was a little disappointing. The halibut my wife ordered was cooked perfectly, but tasted almost like nothing. Good thing the truffle emulsion on the plate was tasty. I'd come back again, but wouldn't order any of the same items."

Review 21 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"My family really enjoyed our experience @ Lure, they offer a celiac /gluten free menu, which makes ordering a lot easier when one is looking for this! The freshness of the food, salads, seafood, & meats was incredible, nicely plated. We has great service, timely, friendly but not intruding! It was a special birthday occasion & the birthday "girl" was treated to a lovely decorated plate with the dessert! Nice touch! Beautiful view of Victoria's inner harbour & the parliament buildings, especially at night! We all shared a lovely meal & evening!"

Review 22 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"While the table service was reasonably good the kitchen was very slow. We were 1 1/2 hours for dinner. The meals were presented very attractively but the steak even though it was cooked rare was chewy. The halibut was quite bland. The coffee was mediocre. The ambiance seated by the window at night was beautiful."

Review 28 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"We weren't expecting a hotel restaurant to be this great. The ambience is nice because the restaurant looks out over the inner harbour in Victoria but the food was even better. I had an unusual special combination of arctic char and pork tenderloin. They were both done very well and complimented each other superbly. One other person at our table had this and they too were blown away. Hats off to the chef, who, by the way, came round to all the tables and personally introduced himself and asked if we were enjoying our meal. Indeed we were!"

Review 31 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"Very good service, and nice ambiance. Portions were unbelievably small! My pan-fried salmon was delicious, but came with four small finger potatoes, and little splash of green veggies. It all could have fit on a dessert plate. At the price charged, I don't know why it would be hard to fill the plate. My date found her pork tenderlion rather dry, but the kitchen did a good job of bringing her a side of gravy."

Review 33 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"My daughter and I went to Lure to celebrate her birthday. This was a return visit for us. You can't beat the view. We enjoyed the service we received and the food, with the exception of the dessert. We ordered the flourless chocolate cake to share. It came as an extremely small piece of very dry chocolate cake with a small scoop of whipped cream on top for $9.00. This was a low point in an otherwise flawless evening."

"A beautiful setting for a birthday dinner. A perfect night with the lights of the Inner Harbour reflected in the water. The servers were attentive and for the most part the food was delicious. Very nice to have a full gluten free option menu, which was the reason we visited the establishment."

Review 39 for Lure Restaurant & Bar - Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe
"As one of the very few restaurants in Victoria that has a 180 degree view of the Harbour, this is a must stop place for the view alone. Yet the chef and staff don't just rely on the view to impress. No service detail was left unchecked: from the first welcome and greetings (taking our coats) to pulling out the chair for my wife to introducing the menu and allowing us to leisurely peruse, to the wine list, all was outstanding. Yet the piece de resistance was the actual food and wine. WOW! The pan fried salmon on asparagus was not only visually stunning but mouth-watering. The risotto was perfectly done and the scallops on top were fresh and perfectly finished. OUTSTANDING!"
