Best Healthy Restaurants in East Aurora

Another year, another absolutely fabulous birthday brunch at Patina!

We went for a quiet birthday lunch and had a wonderful experience. The host staff had are table ready with a wondow view, discrete birthday decor on the table wa a very nice touch. Our server Chris was very professional and knowledgable about the food drinks menu. The calamari appetizer was cooked to perfection, delicate breading and 4 tasty dips to try. The namaste salad has exposions of different flavours that compliment each other so well that you forget that it is such a healthy choice. My partner had the Lamb burger and he thoroughly enjoyed his lunch

Burger night - had burgers- tasty with fresh lettuce, tomato and onion. Excellent service. We enjoyed the new craftsman lounge, along with the tasteful Christmas decorations. A nice evening out.

Very disappointed that the Keg Fallsview (formerly located in the Embassy Suites hotel) was closed on 11/3/2024 in favor of the "upscale" STK Steakhouse (the Keg is relocating nearby to the Hilton sometime in Spring 2025). So, tried the other Keg restaurant in the Courtyard Marriott (about 1.5km/1 mile away from the Embassy Suites), which we knew about but had never visited. We were not disappointed as the menu items with all our favorites were present with the same excellent quality of food and service that we experienced at the Embassy Suites' Keg. We especially like the twice baked potato side (which is increasingly difficult to find on other restaurant menus), garlic cheese bread and french onion soup appetizers and the Billy Miner pie for dessert. An excellent experience even though it is in a bit less convenient location.

We have had many meals here in the past years. Their original Caesar salad with home made croutons were by far the best I had ever had, but as chefs change so do some recipes not always for the better. Still a very good salad, just not great anymore. If you haven't had the veal parmesan yet, it is definitely recommended. The breaded veal is still on the bone and is the size of the plate. We usually make this a meal for two or have enough left over for another complete meal. So many menu items and never disappointed. Great wine list that has something in every price range. Also, Kelly the bartender makes the best Martinis!!
