Had breakfast on patio was gorgeous! Service was good just felt limited selection! Otherwise good! One of staff members took time to show me the reception hall! I really appreciated time she took to do so!

It's a nice place inside the Nita Lake Lodge and a casual yet refined brunch scene that is much less touristy or rowdy than in the Village, which is about a 10-min drive away. Brunch menu is somewhat uninspiring (eggs benedict) but it was fine and the serenity and views were nice. Like sitting by the fireplace just outside in... More

One of the best in Whistler!!! This is a hidden gem. Located on Nita lake the view is amazing. The food and presentation were outstanding. The attention to detail of the staff made this dinning experience one to remember.

I ate here a number of times in the past. Then, they had a 10 course tasting menue which I didn't try, but as a result of it they had many interesting and very tasty items on the menue. It's gone along with many of those very tasty items. They still have tasty and interesting menue choices, but compared to... More

We were back in Whistler and decided to try Aura again for breakfast. We were last here two months ago. The hotel was fully booked the night before, and on a Sunday morning at 8:30am, I thought we might have a hard time getting in. I wanted to have breakfast and then catch the shuttle for the slopes, and thought... More

We had a party of 7. Open table said there was no opening but we called and there was. The first impression is the building, then the view, both quite impressive. The next impression was the friendly service. With a larger party you worry about that (tip is included for parties of 6 or more at most restaurants, which often... More

Recommended by concierge, and recommendation was a good one. Excellent food and each plate was its own artistic masterpiece. View out on small lake was nice. I had an ahi tuna dish that was well-prepared and my wife had a beef tenderloin that has very good even when cooked to here well-done specifications. Reservations highly recommended.

I haven't been able to stop talking about that restaurant to all my friends and family. Every dish was plated so exquisitely, part of me wanted to freeze it and hang it on my wall -- and the taste to match, with meat so tender that you didn't even have to cut it with your fork; you could just lay...
