Just traveling thru kelowna and picked waterfront because of the chef. We were not disappointed. Out of sight sweet breads, beef cheeks, and flat iron steak all 5 star. Service was also very good.

I was so excited to go here because of all the great reviews from friends and trip advisor. My sister and bro in law were taking us there as an early anniversary present. She made the reservation on open table, received confirmation # and email confirming day before. We get there and Waterfront doesn't have our reservation showing. My sister... More

Went here for date night and ordered drinks & dessert...dessert portion (coconut & polenta cake) was extremely small, less than the size of a crab cake. Not worth $8 for so little. Tasty but nothing to write home about. My husband's scotch was great tasting - the spring bank. I ordered the Apple cider with sailor jerry's. Just okay. Waitress... More

When I write best meal, I include in that the whole experience, the service, the atmosphere, the food & the wine list. I've had some of those components tick the right box in other restaurants but rarely all of them. I'm happy to say that for me, everything worked. All our food choices were different, all of us happy. I... More

With all of the reviews I have done, you will notice I only do a review if I have had an exceptional experience and tonight was one of those nights. We've dined at this restaurant in the past and always enjoyed the place but tonight was truly great. The first thing we noticed was the expansion they have done and... More

We went to this restaurant for the first time just before Christmas with friends. We had planned to go here to eat many times before and for one reason or another never made it. Our loss! The aroma from the open kitchen when you walk in the door lets you know you are in for a treat. Everything from the... More

Had a beautiful birthday dinner at this "avant-garde' style restaurant. The atmosphere was next to none, the wine list had a nice selection, and the service was prompt, friendly and just enough! We really enjoyed the charcutrie and the calamari, YUM! The calamari strips were so tender. For our main courses we had the steak, the lamb and salmon. While... More

Excellent wine list, delicious menu (I especially love all of the shared plates), relaxed atmosphere and a friendly & very knowledgeable staff. This is my favourite place to go for a glass of wine and some appies or a full meal in Kelowna. It is also newly renovated - beautiful open kitchen, cozy ambiance and a patio in the summer.... More

We had an excellent meal at this trendy spot in downtown Kelowna. Nice open kitchen, simple decor, very pleasant staff. Gourmet food, great local wine list. Glad to have found such a terrific foodie place in Kelowna! The only drawback I will mention is that our 17 year old daughter cannot join us here, as guests must be 19 or... More
