As business owners ourselves, we feel it’s important to recognize when an establishment really gets it right. Thank you to you all for making our celebration fun, delicious and memorable!”

“Haven’t had a bad experience here; not sure if it’s the manager or owner, but as soon as you walk through the door you are greeted friendly and served with pride the whole time, trust this place for a workday lunch!”

“We had lunch at the Cactus Club today April 12, 2022. The location is great because parking is not a problem. Food was amazing and our server, Raeya, was outstanding. She greeted us with a most beautiful smile and warm welcome. Service was consistently good throughout the meal and Raeya was readily available. She was charming and easily carried on a friendly conversation. She would be an asset to any hospitality service. H. Switzeny”

The (seemily) manager was also kind & filled us both with compliments. Was a pleasure.. I can’t wait to come back again:)”

“Had a great experience at Earls, and Samantha was a big part of that! She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service was excellent without ever feeling over the top, and she made sure everything was taken care of throughout our visit.

It’s always nice when someone goes above and beyond and makes the experience memorable. Thanks, Samantha, for the great service! We’ll definitely be back.”

“When I first moved to Kelowna and was living at the Manteo, I survived on Bai Tong takeout and room service. After all these years, this family-run restaurant is still serving up the same great food and it always comes with a warm smile”

“We visited Waterfront Wines Restaurant and tried several dishes, including the salmon, duck, and the tomato/stone-fruit salad. We didn’t order wine, but still wanted to experience the food and overall restaurant.

The presentation was beautiful and the ingredients felt fresh and carefully prepared. The salmon had nicely crisped skin, the duck was cooked well, and the salad was colorful, fresh, and a nice contrast to the richer dishes.”

“Excellent service! My husband and I throughly enjoyed our time at Kasai would highly recommend. 10/10 in my book”

“It has been a long time since food has made me smile and feeling happy while eating! This experience deserves a special commendation to the entire kitchen staff and chef. Every item we ordered was delicious with proportionate tastes and the important ingredients are the showcase and not the fillers ( for example- oshi - many restaurant skimp out on the seafood and pack on the rice) but this was the perfect ratio ( we ordered the beef tenderloin oshi) Lasagna had a different kick to it which was a pleasant surprise and the chili oil was a nice added touch. My son raved about the burger and trust me, he is a burger connoisseur, stating that it beat out many restaurants in Vancouver. Oh and the fries! The fries!! Addictive! I had the Bouillabise and wow! Flavors were bursting and not broth was not 'fishy'. Each piece of seafood had its own touch and cooked to its potential and not just a chunk of seafood thrown in the broth. Excellent example was the salmon, the skin was actually seared! And the meat was not dry! Ahi tuna in it was medium rare! And the architecture, art deco design and ambiance added to the entire experience. Thank you for a memorable meal and service! We will definitely be back on our next visit to Kelowna.”

“From the outside, you would never guess what’s waiting inside Skinny Duke’s. The moment we walked in, it felt like we had stepped straight into a 1960s living room. The nostalgia is incredible, and what a great space!

A special shoutout to Nathan, the GM, who greeted us at the front door and immediately made us feel welcome. That first impression goes a long way.

Our service started a little slower than expected, but it was a packed Friday night, so we completely understood. Once Avery took care of us, the experience really came together. Avery was fantastic with recommendations, knew the menu well, and helped guide us toward some memorable dishes.

The food definitely left an impression. It is a little on the pricier side, but the flavours and overall experience help justify it.

Between the atmosphere, the food, and the people, Skinny Duke’s is one of those places that feels like more than just dinner. It has personality, character, and a sense of nostalgia that you don’t come across very often.

Definitely worth experiencing if you’re looking for something a little different.”

“We were at Tantalus for a private event on July 8. It was absolutely wonderful. Not only was the scenery and the wine awesome but the staff was exceptional. They were so friendly and always there to make sure our glasses were topped up. There was a caterer brought in, Terry Port from Elite Chef Events and the food was insane!! Just a wonderful night enhanced by the beauty of the winery and staff. Thank you so much for everything!”

“We made a lunch reservation at the Dawett Fine Indian Cuisine today. My husband had a chicken curry with rice, Nan bread, rice and I had an amazing lamb dish! The food was delicious! The prices are very good, the service was excellent! If you are in Kelowna....check out this restaurant!”

“😃My husband & I come here often. This location has a wonderful, fun loving staff that go out of their way to assist customers. If I knew how to give them a 5 star review I would”

“Came by yesterday and a couple weeks or so before, and frequent times I’ve had the most pleasant experiences with Ellie, super sweet girl and so professional, she’s bright and always happy to help out in any way. I’ve seen how she treats her regulars or just any customer overall and I must say she is such a hard working and dedicated girl. Keep it up Ellie!”

“I really wish they would bring the Train back. My children would absolutely love it. We sure did over a decade ago, and we didn't even have children then😉. But their menu options for children are really good just the same 👍. They cater birthday parties too.!, and that's a good thing when trying to entertain 15 kids🤗😉.”

“The best food, the owners and staff are amazing!”

“Absolutely love Kettle River Brewing! The rotating menu means so many options and we have yet to be disappointed! Thier beers are great as well! I work at a winery and when guests ask for food recommendations it is my first one!”

“My partner and I spent some of our mornings here. The atmosphere was so lovely while reading. I loved that the place opened at 7. The staff were so kind and helpful. We ordered 2 almond croissants, an iced mocha w/ oat milk and an iced Latte the first time. The second time we went, we ordered 2 almond croissants and an iced Latte w/ oat milk and a latte. Everything tasted really good! :))”

“Popped in on a whim while on a passport mission to Kelowna- picked up a bowl to go as I was starving and needed to get back on the road back home to Revelstoke- it was amazing-so impressed! Fingers crossed for a 2nd location in Revy! Bet it would go over really well! Thanks for the delicious heart led food!”

“Great Bang Bang shrimp! Good atmosphere! Try the Side Launch beer”

“This ice cream is hands down the best!!! We tried the one in Kelowna and ended up going back every day because it was so good! Honestly every flavor was a hit, even VANILLA. Not a vanilla person but their vanilla is so so good! Now we are back in Alberta and discovered that there is a location in Calgary JACKPOT just drove 2 hours to get ice cream because it is that good! Favourite flavors: Lavender, Pistachio, Ube, and Tiramisu. You will not regret it!”

“blissful coffee and outravenously donuts 🍩 cool atmosphere 👌”

“Food is amazing and has good gluten free options. Super friendly staff.”

“Great friendly staff and environment. My family and I have come here for years to eat out on special occasions. Tonight April 10th was our first night out eating in a restaurant in months and the food was exceptional, fresh and delicious. Best food I have had here in a long time. And that's a big statement as the food here is good each time. Special shout out to cook, kitchen crew and most of all our server Mandeep who really made us feel at home, special and provided excellent customer service. 10/10 star 🌟 experience”

“Great pizza! Gluten free crust is amazing. Owner is very nice and eager to satisfy his customers. I pick up from rutland and have never been disappointed!”

Truly one of the BEST experiences we’ve had in BC! Just watch the line ups and listen to the melodic Italian being spoken- it’s a beautiful thing! If you’re a Pane Vino Pizzeria fan, share the love of this amazing cuisine twinning in Kelowna. Forza Azzurri! 🏆❤️🔥 🇮🇹 🍕 Thank you so much for the absolute warm service Harwinder, Kira, Amrit and Elissa! Elissa thank you for taking such good care of us and for the limoncello!”

“The owner goes above and beyond for his patrons. Great beer, great atmosphere, super unique and cool decor and friendly crowd. Can't sat enough good things about this place!”

“I've always enjoyed this restaurant but tonight topped them all! Try the green curry with chicken, should have taken a pic! You will love it if you want a fresh flavorful, delicious,Thai dining experience!!!”

“My 8yr old daughter and I tried your specialty tea Caramel Apple it was devine! she doesn't usually drink tea but we both really enjoyed this blend! we highly recommend you go in and try this cup of tea! The best way to drink tea is using chibaba tea!”

“There is nothing more important than having a local coffee shop. When I moved back to Kelowna, it was one of the first things I decided to look for. And make no mistake, there are no shortage of coffee places in this town. But there are certain things I prioritize in a coffee shop:
Amazing, small batch, locally roasted coffees from around the world. Proximity and ease of getting to. And staff that are as knowledgeable as they are fun.

Craft 42 knocks it out of the park on all of them. When it comes to coffee, they are always rotating in new coffees from different countries, regions and fermentation methods. For me personally, I can walk to it (and do most days), and the staff are incredibly engaging (and they taught me the history and difference between an Americano and a Long Black). They know me by name and my order.

Whether it’s Noah, Jordan, Erin, Lily, Alex, Ella or Ishwin, they make you feel welcome and bring joy to the experience.

I’d highly recommend Craft 42, but I kinda don’t want everyone to start coming!!”

“Fresh, healthy, delicious. Pita Pit is my favorite place for good food quickly!”

“The miso black cod may have been the most delicious food I have ever tasted! The tamal colado was also extremely flavourful and well balanced. The cajeta for dessert was divine! This was by far our yummiest dining experience (we tried 8 restaurants in the area). The service was also exceptional. I wish we would have tried it sooner in our trip because we would have gone back again.”

“I had the chocolate lava cake, which was good. It's a bit pricey, but the selection is good. Average item is $14.95. Wait staff was ok, but very green (new to serving)”

“An incredible chicken sandwich! Spicy fries are SO good too. Staff have also gone above and beyond each time we’ve been there. Highly recommend!”

“Intimate & quaint!! Service was top notch! Tapas & the cocktails were delish!”

“Fantastic tacos ! Can’t wait to visit Kelowna again and have more !”

“If you're in the area looking for sushi you won't be disappointed. Good sushi, decent prices and atmosphere. Not quite a destination restaurant, but satisfying and quick!”

“The food is so wonderful! The couple who own this place are so lovely and so helpful. 10/10 recommend if you’re in the area and looking for good food without a super loud environment.”

“A cute little pho spot by the center of downtown. Came down to grab a bite and the pho was great. Iced coffee wasn’t the best which is why I gave it a 4 stars versus a 5.”

“Great first experience. Very community oriented, manager committed to creating a welcoming and accessible environment. The food was great too. Manager came over to introduce himself and genuinely make us feel welcomed.”

“YOU HAVE TO TRY THE FOOD HERE!! I've never had Korean food before but after watching Korean shows, I said to myself, we gotta try this and I'm SO HAPPY WE DID!! THE FOOD HERE IS FANTASTIC! I went with my hubby and we ordered 3 distinct dishes. 1. Bibimbap 2. Jiampong noodle soup 3. Jjajangmyeon (a noodle dish with black bean). All 3 were very different in taste, and delicious!! The service was great and helpful as the waitress explained what to expect. I can't wait to eat here again. The price point is very reasonable. We had 3 entries with 2 pops for under 60 bucks and brought food home cause we ordered to much! Lots of parking and easy location to get to. 5 stars! 😋”

“Amazing smoothie bowls, best in Kelowna hands down, my favourite is the açai but all the others are a close second. Venture there frequently 😊”

“Amazing people ,one of the best beer in town and food.”

“Five of us for dinner Sunday Jan 22/23. First thing asked them to turn down the music. Our appetizer bruschetta was soggy. The main course of fettuccini was like glue. They offered two desserts of crème brûlée or chocolate cake, but unfortunately they were out of chocolate cake! We were the only table in the restaurant the entire evening! For a $450.00 dinner would never go back.”

“Great place for Mexican food.”

“Emily is always on the ball. Quick and fresh food always coming out of the kitchen. The staff is always smiling and polite”

The muffins are so good, so big! Best prices on cakes that are made from real whip cream and fresh fruit. Just like oma used to make. Brings me back to my childhood. And it smells so good in there”

“Very good options for dosa. We had paneer dosadilla, cheese dosa and veg biryani. They’re all tasty and flavourful. The stuffing in paneer dosadilla was very tasty. The chutneys were good too. Sambhar was ok ok. Our server was also very friendly and suggested the menu.
Suggestions : you could add kids menu.”

“This was the best chicken I have had in my entire life. The portions were perfect. The prices I felt are pretty low for the quality of food you're getting. I can't recommend this place enough!!!! The (yang nyeom) chi bab is AMAZING!!!! If you live here and haven't eaten here you're crazy!”

“FRIGGEN AMAZING! So good, must get the Nanaimo bar and double chocolate brownie!”

“Great food and friendly staff”

“Donair is amazing, best fries in town, hot sesame 🔥”

“Hubby and I had our first Triple O Burger. The Bacon Cheddar Burger is one of the best burgers I have had in years. This burger beats any other fast food burger outlets. The fries are not your regular fries and have a totally different taste. I would strongly recommend you try Triple O's for your next burger stop.”

“The burger was. The fries were good but lacking a bit. overall experience was great. And staff was supper nice and patient!”

“I was pleasantly surprised going to Hansen‘s on Friday evening. The great product but what really made me feel better was the five young men working in there. In a time of young people trying to find work the owner of Hansen‘s she does it right. Support Hansen’s Support your local youth it’s the best thing you can do.”

“great taste”

The three-tiered trays were beautifully presented and filled with a delicious variety of savory sandwiches, delicate pastries, and sweet treats—every single bite was amazing.

“All i can say is: Top Tier cookies!! and melts in your mouth🤌😮‍💨”

“I was worried but the falafel sandwich was so good we took also chicken shawerma and butter chicken sandwich it was all good
The only thing that I would suggest for the chef who prepared the sandwiches is to wear an apron because his clothes were splashed with sauce and it made a bad first impression but the food is super yummy”

“I recently re-fell in love with Kombucha after visiting MotherLove Ferments. The staff are all so nice and their selection was AMAZING. Last couple of times I tried their Water Kefir drink which I recommend. I also love knowing that I am supporting a hard working local business. 10 stars!”

You can really taste the freshness. The staff were very friendly and helpful in guiding us to choose the right drink. I highly recommend this place for fresh and healthy juices.”
