Aurelia at Castle Hill Inn: A Refined Culinary Experience with a View: Nestled within the stunning grounds of Castle Hill Inn, Aurelia offers an intimate, romantic dining experience with an unrivaled panoramic view of the ocean. From the moment we stepped into the dining room, the ambiance set the tone for an evening of elegance and quiet conversation—a rarity in many fine dining establishments today. The atmosphere was peaceful, allowing us to fully enjoy the company of our friends and the unfolding courses before us. One of the standout elements of our evening was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, striking that perfect balance of hospitality and professionalism. The sommelier, in particular, was both affable and impressively knowledgeable, making excellent wine pairings that complemented each course seamlessly. As for the menu, it was a delightful journey through a variety of flavors, offering seafood, game bird, and beef options. While I personally enjoy seafood, a couple in our party do not, and we all went in aware of the menu’s general direction. That said, we were somewhat surprised by the amount of raw seafood in the early courses—most notably the scallops. It was a bit unexpected, and we found ourselves wondering about the chef’s vision for that dish. But as the meal progressed, it became clear that the intention was to stretch our palates and present something outside of the usual expectations, a creative exploration of flavors and textures. That’s the beauty of Aurelia—the culinary approach is thoughtful, intentional, and designed to push boundaries while maintaining an exquisite standard of quality. Even when a dish sparked conversation or curiosity rather than immediate satisfaction, it was clear that the chef is deeply committed to delivering a unique and engaging dining experience. My wife and I have long loved Castle Hill Inn, and the main dining room holds a special place in our hearts. Bravo, Staff!

This was a second visit because the first was such an amazing dining experience. Just as our first visit, everything was wonderful. The three course menu was well planned out and so many choices. The flavors so delightful. The scenery, beautiful. Ryan our server, very engaging, can tell he loves his job. We are making this a favorite on our restaurant list. Can’t wait to see what the summer menu has to offer.

One of our favorite island restaurants. Always guaranteed to get a great meal. The food always tastes delicious. Perfectly seasoned with great flavors. Never bland. Service always great from the hostess to the servers to the bussers.

Place was great. Our server was outstanding and very attentive even with her having 5 other tabkes.
