The patio, service, and food was delicious. If gas wasn't so expensive I would drive from Kelowna just to have breakfast here!

Food and service is fine. But they serve their water and other drinks in PLASTIC CUPS saying it's their policy. Seriously? In 2024, they're still using single-use plastic cups?

The cappuccinos were very good. Our meals were also good. The service was prompt.

The Classic Benny with tomatoes and avocado is particularly good. They also serve Starbucks coffee.

Decent place for breakfast. Convenient that it’s at the hotel we’re staying at. If you skip the room cleaning, you can get a $15 voucher towards a meal. Opens at 7. If you go earlier, a little less chaotic.

Dietary restrictions: We were able to handle my daughter’s various allergies by ordering side orders of bacon and potatoes. They also will cook the potatoes separately which is awesome.

Our server was wonderful but our food was very poorly cooked. I would not recommend this place based on our experience.

The potatoes and waffles were cold and I couldn't find the price of the buffet on any of the five sites I tried probably because it's $25 for basically a continental self serve breakfast left no tip and won't be

Our very inexperienced server was friendly. There needs to be some time spent on training these young servers. She was lost in order management, forgot to put through a meal which left one in our group eating after everyone had finished. One meal had a hair in. Not once did our server ask to refill our water or drinks, in fact we had to ask 2x and she only filled the one glass. Just a terrible experience over all and with Penticton being such a tourist community there really needs to be more training for these young servers. She also has ZERO support from any type of management. We will never go back.

Did not respect the price announced for kids buffet. Waiter mentioned the brunch for kids at $10.95 but on the bill it was $16.95 each. When we asked why they told us that it was that price before but it went up now. So it is an extra $12 plus taxes and tips to pay for 2 kids after the facts. By law when a price is set up front the merchant must respect it, even if this was a mistake. We paid it but we are not feeling respected. In addition I had to eat after everyone because my plate was taking so long to come and the quality of food was not as expected. We were planning to eat there more times during our stay at the hotel, but not anymore.

Waited at the door for 20 minutes to be seated, despite only a handful of tables occupied. Tea came in a cracked pot that leaked everywhere. When I asked for another they brought a pot of hot water and transfered the tea bag. I ordered the Benny with caramelized onions and asparagus medium poached. 30 minutes later it arrived. I think the eggs must have been quail eggs as they were tiny little rock hard bullets on the muffin with a (thankfully) small drop of hollandaise. Cayenne pepper instead of paprika. Blew out my taste buds. The asparagus was raw and boiled not caramelized onions. I didn't even bother to try the greasy hash browns. Save your morning and $25 by going to MacDonalds.

Very friendly staff on. I had breakfast. I was a bit hungover and tired, waitress helped me put together omlet that wasn't on menu. Food was cooked perfectly. Everything was clean. Prices high, but that's true of
