Our second time to The Kitchen by Da Silva. They specialize in Portuguese tapas…read more Busy Wednesday evening but we'd made reservations (6:00pm). Service was friendly, our waitress checked on us several times. Beware, sparkling is $6.00/bottle. Sad they didn't have any veal tongue available. We shared the house cured mackerel and chimichurri ($16.00), pan seared garlic-citrus calamari ($16.00), grilled eggplant with blackstrap molasses ($10.00) and paella ($48.00). Mackerel was fantastic. Calamari tender, the small bits extra delicious. Eggplant wasn't grilled enough, touch bland. Paella had a good amount of mussels, clams, two prawns and a chicken thigh. Tasty saffron rice but several mussels and clams were sandy. Solid, consistent tapas at TKBDS. 4.5 stars.

The Kitchen at Da Silva Winery is amazing and is now my favourite restaurant in the…read morePentiction/Naramata area. So thankful my local friend suggested this a dinner option to really enjoy the abundance of the region's offerings with Portuguese and Mexican influence. The Kitchen's menu has over 30 tapas and they come out whenever it's done. My favourite is the Paella, Roasted cauliflower, dusted with parmesan cheese, Marinated red beet with mint-balsamic vinaigrette and Duck Leg Confit. We had the last seating at 7:45pm but never felt rushed to leave. Our server was simply the best in that he made suggestions from the menu and advised us that the paella along with 3/4 other tapas would be enough for three. He was right and we were full so don't even order dessert. Due to health restrictions, the patio is the only option for dine in. Take the patio as the views are spectacular and blankets provided if you get chill. Da Silva has it all-excellent food, service and views. I can't wait to come back. Make Reservations as it is very popular and you don't want to miss out.
