The Kitchen at Da Silva winery by Abul Adame

We dined at your restaurant on Saturday and wanted to take a few days to reflect before sharing our feedback.

Having visited a wide variety of establishments during our recent travels—from Vancouver Island to Banff, Fairmont, and Emerald Lake—we’ve experienced a range of dining experiences. Unfortunately, none have come close to matching the level of disappointment we felt during our meal with you.

To be candid, the food lacked flavour, care, and even basic presentation. Several dishes were so unpalatable we couldn’t take more than a few bites. While the bread was edible, we found ourselves using the bread bag to discreetly dispose of most of the uneaten food. We ended up taking leftovers with us but discarded them shortly after in a nearby bin.

The view was undeniably beautiful and the wine was enjoyable. Our server was kind and polite, though it was apparent they were uncomfortable giving any real feedback to the kitchen—perhaps fearing a reaction from the chef. Additionally, the furniture was in poor condition; our chairs were uncomfortable and wobbled, as did our table.

This was, regrettably, the most disappointing dining experience we’ve ever had. We share this feedback not to be unkind, but in the hope that improvements can be made. There is real potential here—especially with the location and ambiance—but it was not reflected in the meal or the overall experience.

We had an amazing experience and the service was outstanding! All of our dishes far exceeded our expectations and they went above and beyond for our daughter’s birthday and special visit from Toronto! We have been to this restaurant before and it just keeps getting better! The paella is a MUST TRY! It’s all 😊 good!!!

Beautiful dinner experience with girlfriends. Service was excellent, the setting/views just perfect and the food (& drink) , absolutely delicious. Price point is also very fair. Will definitely visit again and this wasn’t my first time.

Slow food done well.

Recommended by a Penticton local resident, saying this was her favorite restaurant. After I tried, I totally agree with her. The spicy potato was so good! Best crispy with best spices. The maple balsamic vinegar dressing grill lettuce was so unique and worth trying. The paella was the best (would be even better if it was less salty)! So delicious and lots of mussels clams and prawns, the chicken thigh was amazing with crispy skin. Love all of them.

This was by far one of the best meals I've had period. You know when you go out for dinner and its something tgeres no way you could do at home?
We were here a few weeks ago and i had to make sure I left a review.

Every dish was amazing and happened to balance well with the veggie dish we ordered. The Peri-Peri prawns were perfectly cooked and seasoned, the Romain lettuce was crisp and delicious, the Duck leg with cherries was something else.
Oh and the wine choice guided by our server was also really really good.

Do yourself a favor. This place is under rated

Wonderful Tapas and Wine selections were the focus of our evening at “The Kitchen” at Da Silva Winery - temperatures dropped, but the blankets provided made dinner on the deck very comfortable. Look forward to returning once again !!!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options available for our vegetarian friends…

Tried many foods while I worked here for 2 summers. Chef Abul is amazing!! He turned me on to seafood because of the way he cooks and presents it. You won’t be disappointed. ? Best food and service in Penticton.

Girlfriend and I went to DaSilva Winery to try their restaurant called 'The Kitchen'. The deck is quite nice, offering nice of vinyards and the lakes beyond. They also offer a nice picnic lawn with adirondack chairs where dogs are allowed.
The menu seems strange. First off, each guest MUST ORDER A MINIMUM OF 2 TAPAS, despite their value and despite a purchase of a bottle of wine with our tapas. Serving sizes are decent and after doing our best we were nearly able to finish the 4 items plus an order of baguette. Nowhere on their website were we warned about the 2 tapas per customer rule, nor do they share any prices.
Our server was friendly and professional and we ultimately enjoyed our visit.
About the menu......what I expect was an attempt at humour comes off as rather condescending with all the rules. Maybe I ought to have enjoyed a glass or two of wine before reading the menu, as I suspect they did while writing it.
An observation: Sharing tapas is fine, but sharing a finger bowl is weird. Don't be cheap.....it's 2 chunks of lemon and some hot water

Must do if you're around the Naramata bench! We had a great time, thank you. Very generous portions and amazing atmosphere, 5* for the wines as well.
