We had an amazing time having some fish n chips and chicken tenders. The food is so good and the prices were cheap too. Definitely worth checking out, this is a great hole in the wall spot. Can't wait to go back again.

Cashier and counter area! You can also see all the awards they have won!

A Kelowna classic! If you are familiar with Vancouver's Pajos ( popular fish and chips spot) I think this is better! The pieces are bigger and cheaper. The oil does not taste old! This is also quite traditional to what British fish and chips are. Also supporting local is great!

They've been here for over 60 years. I'm sure it's had a change in ownership over the years, but what's unique is that it's a fish and chip joint that is nowhere near an ocean! Firstly the chips aren't half bad. Right out of the fryer they're good. They have halibut and cod and prawns. All dipped in a very thick batter . We had the fish and prawn combo. Came to over $25 for halibut and prawns. I knew not to expect Pajo's level of fish and chips. Firstly how fresh can the fish really be? It would have to be frozen for Kelowna. The ocean is quite far. Here's my breakdown. 1) Nostalgia, being here for 60 years means something. 4 stars 2) style, ambiance - the dated look is kinda cool. I like the styling. 4 stars. 3) Halibut - batter kinda too crispy, more harder than anything else. Maybe a bit overlooked. Not much fish inside. 2.5 stars 4) Prawns same as above, overcooked and crunchy. 2.5 stars 5) Chips were good. I have them a 3 stars. Overall? 3 stars. I'm sure they can do better and I may have come on a day just after the lunch rush and missed out on the good bits and the fresh oil for frying. I do like the ambiance of this place that just seems to pop from out of nowhere least expected. I'm glad I got the chance to try it out.

Cod & halibut, fresh cut fries. Made to order. Add some malt vinegar and chow down

We ordered cod and halibut, fresh cut fries, all made to order. The batter is light and the portions healthy. Add some malt vinegar, and chow down. This small place is in a residential area with a small eating area so we sat outside and enjoyed our meal. Luck people who live nearby.

2 piece halibut & chips - to go, plus tartar & gravy

Quick friendly service. Best fish and chips in Kelowna! Not a big seating area. Take out orders wrapped in newspaper. Very British!

Buckle in for a bit of a lengthy review on this one, I have many good things to say about this…read moreplace. We are Americans that live in a somewhat remote area, so we regularly travel to the Penticton area for shopping and amenities that can't be found in our local area. After we completed our errands this afternoon we decided to stop in to The Nest for a round of drinks and appetizers before returning home. We had the pleasure of being served by the owner himself, who is an extremely friendly and polite gentleman. The vibe upon walking in immediately felt casual and welcoming. The owners passion for what he does shines when he speaks about the menu and about the restaurant. He was extremely attentive despite being short staffed this evening, and being it was our first time in he took the time to explain that the restaurant uses only locally sourced ingredients, and makes as much as they can from scratch in house. The drink menu is pretty expansive and is full of many craft cocktails that are not commonly found elsewhere. Being someone who loves a French 75 and a Tom Collins, I was happy to see both. You'll find many specialty flavors of margaritas, gin and tonics, and smoked cocktails all made with locally distilled spirits. Additionally, they have a nice selection of local beer, wine, and cider when available. As far as the food menu, there are few (if any!) other restaurants I can honestly say I would be willing to try every item on the menu, but this is one of them. There is a unique collection of dishes and options for everyone, with entree options varying from red meat, to seafood, to gluten free, to vegetarian. We opted for two of the appetizers, the baked Brie and nuts and the bison carpaccio. Both were exceptional and fresh tasting. The quality of the ingredients used is apparent. This place will have to be one of our go-to spots from now on. The service is enough to keep you coming back, but we are so looking forward to trying everything else the menu has to offer. Highly recommend giving this place a chance if you haven't already!

Came here for a family dinner on a weeknight and overall enjoyed my meal. They had an extensive…read morecocktail and beverage menu, as well as a full menu with a variety of items. The service was great! I ordered a risotto which was good, but not amazing. The asparagus was crunchy and seemed not fully cooked. We sat on the patio but it was loud since it was on a busy street with constant traffic. The outdoor booth was comfortable, although very low down making it hard to reach my food on the table. Overall, this is a great option for a nice meal in Penticton, but could be improved with better seating and higher quality cooking.
