    Came here on the recommendation of our Victoria Harbour Tour ferry driver.. he informed us that this place was the locals favorite for fish n chips .. also informed us that their salmon chowder was life changing.. so ofc we had to order these items.. tried the west coast combo fish n chips including 1pc salmon and 1pc cod, the salmon chowder and local fish stew. Loved the cod! the tartar sauce was the best I've ever had. Coleslaw was terrible. The salmon was wild sockeye - normally a fave but not a good fish for fish n chips - too lean/dry. Salmon chowder wasn't enjoyable either. Fish stew was better but still not my cup of tea with the tomato base - the tomato overpowers the seafood flavors. Would like to return and try out their halibut fish n chips and/or sandwich.

    the service was good!! our food came out 10-15 mins after ordering. they give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. the food was good!! the seafood was fresh. my personal favorite was the sockeye salmon rice wrap. the teriyaki sauce paired well with the salmon in the wrap. my friends love the three way clam chowder!! the only con was that the fish and chips were underwhelming with the bland flavor. also while we ate, the floor kept rocking a little bc their establishment was on the water. the movement kinda made us woozy. something to note if you want to dine at the location. there was also other tables around on steadier ground.

    Salmon Three Ways chowder

    A higher quality seafood offering with more complex dishes than the other fish and chip's establishments at Fisherman's Wharf. A popular tourist destination, this is a great place to get your seafood fix. It's easy to get distracted or drown in the options and choices. They have fresh options and a wide range of dishes for a more developed palette. Service was friendly and helpful, and food came fast and hot. They have some unique seating options right on the dock. Note that they do have some restrictions on Alcohol sales depending on where you sit. I highly recommend the salmon three ways chowder. It has a rich and Smokey flavor and does not short on the salmon. It's a great alternative for anyone who doesn't like clams and is a treasure for the salmon lovers I. Your life. All and all a great spot for a snack or a seafood indulgence.

    Halibut tacos are amazing!

My spouse had the chuck and brisket/bacon burger with fries. The chef would not prepare it medium but well done only. Complaints were a dry, possibly pre formed and frozen meat patty...the veggies were necessary for moisture. I had the buttermilk chicken "schnitzel" with fennel salad and potatoes. The fennel salad consisted of 2 1/2 thin shaves of fennel. The potatoes were good. The chicken was most likely 3 oz and pounded literally as thin as paper and deep fried within an inch of its life! The dish was small or meager size and I don't need a lot to feel satisfied but simply didn't with this dish of greasy, overcooked paper thin chicken. Ugh. Chocolate torte for dessert....although thin, it was rich and delicious. We shared the white bean mezze for a starter, the hummus was good and the pickled carrots very good. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice, dark with deep colors and chill. The feeling we had was this restaurant trying to be a 5-star, chic culinary adventure (small portions but amazing food); however they fell very short. Unfortunately this hotel offers no other kitchen or menu for guests and room service. You won't find a delicious and varied menu here...you are stuck with Fathom. Do yourselves a favor and enjoy a culinary adventure outside of the hotel - every restaurant we have dined in (every time we ferry over to BC) has been yummy, with the exception of Fathom.

I'll admit I was a little skeptical at first -- it's right on the harbor and surrounded by tourist attractions, which usually screams "tourist trap." But I'm so glad we gave it a chance, because the food, ambiance, cocktails, and service were phenomenal. I can confidently say this place is not a tourist trap. I couldn't even tell you exactly what I ordered because we literally ordered a quarter of the menu. Every dish was a hit, and even the five kids in our group loved everything that came out.

The menu had several choices of a wide range of food. Fish and chips, steak, oysters. They do have some vegetarian and gluten free options as well. They offer a wide selection of wine and have delicious cocktails. It's nice , comfortable atmosphere. The bar is also very nice. Lots of room with plenty of tables. Would be a great meet up location with friends or a great choice for date night. I enjoyed a shrimp curry dish that was beautifully plated and very delicious. We also enjoyed the fish & chips... also yummy. Will be back next time we are in town!

At one point we were using the crab scissors wrong and he came to our table and said "let me show you how to use those properly, ripping them from my husband's hands." So rude, there were many other ways he could have approached that. The gentleman that served us was not friendly, he had a put off attitude we were even there. I also had a gift card for $200 that he was not pleased to take off our bill,. He had to enter a code and it took him, not kidding, 5x to do. He was very frustrated but I wasn't not going to not use it. This place is NOT worth the $360 bill (not including tip). Skip this place and go to Steamship bar and Grill instead!

We came here on a Wednesday night and it was mostly empty. However, most of the seats next to the window facing the harbor were taken. They sat us on the upper layer of the restaurant, so we could still see the harbor somehow. It was beautiful with night lights. We ordered 1. West coast steamer pot for starter $25, 2. Lobster and Pacific prawn papardeli $41, 3. Chanterelle mushroom risotto $32, and 4. AAA 6oz tenderloin $55 (all prices in CAD). The steamer pot came first.. and while it's good, the seafood wasn't particular fresh or impressive, and the sauce was too savory/salty for me. After waiting for maybe 30 minutes for food, they finally came. My lobster and prawn pasta was good but again, the sauce was a bit too much. The amount of seafood given was also quite sad. The mushroom risotto wasn't cooked al dented, though the taste was fine and wasn't too salty like other dishes. The tenderloin was good, but I enjoyed the side veggies that came with it and the sweet sauce better than the steak itself. Overall it was just an alright and pricy dinner, so I think it's only worth it if you can get the seats next the window as the view was quite nice. This was the most expensive meal from our trip but I didn't think it was worth.

I wouldn't recommend coming here if you need a "quick bite" or have fussy kids who will become impatient. But, if you're ok to sit and enjoy a bit you will find the service fine. As a vegetarian, I was delighted that there were ample options for me to choose from without modifications necessary. This didn't stop me from ordering the delicious cavatelli with pesto and goat cheese for two nights in a row, but I loved having options! While dining with a larger group, the person who had the chicken and the person who had the short rib, both agreed their dishes were possibly the best preparation they'd ever had. The one complaint was that some in our group felt their dish was over salted. After enjoying the pastries at duo earlier in the day, I knew dessert was going to be worth it. We ordered the earl grey bar, the apple cake, and several other little bites. All were delighted with their selection. These desserts are on the smaller side (maybe about 4-5 bites each) so I do not recommend sharing. At breakfast, I had the avocado toast which was likewise delicious. They kept the coffee hot. Aura consistently exceeded my expectations.

The service was "mid" at best... our server was not very attentive or knowledgeable - 2/5 at best. We were seated next to an obnoxious table - they were so loud and actually FaceTiming for the entire restaurant to hear. Then a 5th friend decided to stop by - we hoped they would move to the bar at this stage (away from us) but he pulled up a chair and was even louder than the 4 at the table. We muscled through the first course (Burrata - pretty tasty), and were halfway through the halibut when we finally asked to be moved. Unfortunately the only tables were in the bar area - no view, but nice and quiet. We ordered dessert - zero mention of my wife's birthday (which was on the rez) or action to deal with the table that killed the vibe of the whole place. I left with a sour taste in my mouth after an expensive meal. There are much better options in Victoria.
