Can’t believe I’ve never rated this place before. The food is phenomenal. Hands down the best dining experience in the Okanagan.

Incredible meal for 8 people. We had the chef’s menu choices (some on the menu, some off the menu). Everything was delicious, fresh and plentiful. The location is gorgeous and the staff are friendly and attentive. The food is the star and steals the show. Second time visitors & our new favourite Penticton restaurant. Thank you again chef, for a fabulous evening.

Service and setting are spectacular. Try the cod fritters, grilled romaine and prawns piri piri.
The Chenin Blanc is delicious.

Such an amazing experience. The cocktails are stunning and all the plates we had were unreal. So much flavour and love put into each dish. We cannot wait to go back and try it for dinner.

My wife and I went to this restaurant with 2 other couples. We asked to have separate bills for each couple.
We were told we couldn't do that. We were told each couple would pay one third of the total bill at the end. At the end of the meal we were given a bill that included a 20% gratuity because we were a group, even though we didn't want to be a group. The gratuity was even charged on the alcoholic beverages. We sat on metal chairs which were really uncomfortable. The food was very slow in arriving. It took more than 2 hours to get all our food.

We had 2 orders of patatas bravas. They were decent, but they needed to be fried or roasted longer.
The romaine with the sauce was okay, but very expensive. (36.00 for a double order.)
The seared albacore, cornish chicken, duck leg, and Piri-Piri shrimp were all very good but, except for the shrimp, they lacked enough sauce.
The Charales were okay, but fishy.
The grilled chorizo was lacking in sauce and the sauce did not contain a single shred of cabbage. This sauce should have been cooked without salt and much more cabbage to compensate for the very salty sausage.

In general, the food had interesting and imaginative flavours,
but was much too salty. The prices should have been lower with such small servings. Being forced to order as a group and then being charged a 20% gratuity which even included alcohol left a bad taste in our mouths. Having to sit on bare metal chairs was inexcusable. Our servers were very pleasant and did the best they could under the circumstances.

This meal was definitely one of the best of our 3 weeks in BC. The view speaks for itself. The staff were very nice and friendly and let us sit on the deck after our wine tasting even whilst they were still setting up for the night. Thoroughly enjoyed the food especially the fish dishes but everything we ordered was lovely.

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!!!

Kim Kennedy

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.

Evelyn Liu

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
