Food was good, pretty standard cactus club meal! Was extremely busy when we showed up around 5pm which is not surprising so if you're planning to come around then I'd definitely reserve! We ended up getting seats at the bar which turned out to be great! The bartenders were extremely helpful! Restaurant is nicer than the average cactus club and the patio outlooks the boardwalk and lake! If you like cactus club give it a try you won't be disappointed! read more

Cactus is always consistent in service, food quality, and ambiance. No wonder its consistently the busiest restaurant in Kelowna - even in slow season. I usually end up getting the prawn crunch roll, but the creole chicken is my favourite meal if you're looking for something more hearty. The location is right in the heart of Downtown Kelowna. Mountain/lake views from the dining room is a huuuge plus! read more

I absolutely love cactus club! My man and I celebrated our one year anniversary at the Kelowna downtown location on January 17. We got a great booth and then they gifted us some complementary tickets to Dawson Gray .... playing across the street at the community theatre. That was a super great addition to our night of celebration. We also got a delicious piece of cheesecake and the food was amazing as usual. The servers and the hostesses were excellent. This is where we had our first date and why we wanted to come back for our anniversary. I think we'll make it a tradition every year to celebrate it there. read more

Our group of 5 walk-ins had a late lunch here 8/18/2025. Great location and nice sail boat views. Happy hour started at 2 pm. Great ambience, great food, and excellent service. Frozen Bellini was great, a bit sweet, but i like it sweet. Upgraded from a 2 oz to a 3 oz for $1.50!!! Szechuan chicken lettuce wraps were really good. Per our waitress' recommendation I added rice and had the lettuce shredded. It was excellent! Tuna temaki was also superb. Our waitress was bubbly and friendly. Overall a great experience, from the front reception to the departure everyone and everything was perfect! Highly recommend it. read more

Definitely a quality cactus. Lakefront - can't beat that!! Ambience was excellent, the people inside were all higher class, happy hour at 10pm and the med bowl - heaven. The service from our service was excellent. He was entertaining and very attentive. The star was removed due to them not being able to tell us an approximate wait time. Everywhere else can say somewhat of a time limit. That helps decide if we will wait or not. With that being said, they had us in for a table of 4 within 5 mins. We also got a cheesecake on happy hour. Cheap and delicious - win win!! We are here another 5 days, I'm sure we will be back!! read more

Great menu. All the items we got were great. Calling it a 'cafe' is misleading because it's way nicer. Got top notch service. It was great with kids and an extended family dinner but could be equally good for a date night. read more

My family and I came here on a weekend trip to Kelowna. It was bustling on a Saturday afternoon; most tables were full. It gives off a trendy vibe and seems like a popular spot to eat while on vacation - it's right on the harbor, has a long bar, and offers a full menu of fusion food and drinks. I ordered the Med Bowl, which was Mediterranean-inspired, with falafel and chicken. Although the portion was generous, the chicken was a bit dry. I also had the Soul Revival, a non-alcoholic drink with ginger beer, lime, turmeric, jalapeno, and Thai basil. Because the service was a bit slow and the food was just OK, I wasn't impressed - but it was nice to enjoy a meal with a view! read more

Phenomenal food! Server Sam was great! We over ordered because I like to sample food and wasn't planning on actually eating everything. That was a mistake LOL. Red Thai Curry was amazing - best I've had in a decade and ate most of it. Peppercorn rib eye - son demolished. Truffle parm chicken - kids demolished. Panko crunch sushi - holy cow - amazing! Almost stopped with that starter but glad we kept going. Poki bowl - gah! - so good!!! Beautiful view of the lake and friendly hostess and great server :). Enjoy - such a treat! read more

The food tasted just okay not good not bad just okay. The service was a bit meh but the workers were nice. The ambiance could use some work.

Food and service always great. I like that you can book a table online. Views of lake very nice from Kelowna location

Solid food, good vibes - what more could you ask for from a cactus? Service is quite good most of the time!

Tasty crispy chicken sandwich and good fries. We ate in the lounge. Excellent, prompt service. It was a Saturday and they didn't have any live sports on So I have to take a star off for that short coming. read more

Super cute little spot to watch a game, grab a bite or stop in for HH. Only came in for a few appetizers, and to enjoy company There was a live guitarist who played some great hits. 4/5 recommend read more

I was here on Tuesday, for lunch. There is nothing special about it other than what I ordered. My family and I ordered the blackened creole chicken and it was very delicious. I did wait for about an hour for it. The service was too mediocre for a waterfront location in a high end area of Kelowna that I am supposed to brag about. The atmosphere is not warm or welcoming at all. The girl leading us to our table was aloof, the waitress was just bored with her life. read more

Service was quick and friendly. All of the food my party ordered was great. Lots of fun mixed drinks to try out. I'll definitely be back!

Visiting Kelown. Ordered the charbroiled steak, Cajun steak, and goddess green salad. Had the calamari. OMG we all loved our food. Our waiter Christine was phenomenal. She was spot on and very attentive but not overbearing. I have some food allergies and she and the manager were so accommodating. Will definitely come back anytime there is a Cactus Club. read more

What a GREAT lunch location! If the weather is nice, all the windows are open and the sun shines in. It's gorgeous. We sat downstairs on the marina side and had some great people and dog watching as we enjoyed a late lunch. Lettuce wraps were the great and a really plentiful portion. It's lightly fried chicken (or tofu) with lots of peanuts and some veggies. Really tasty! The hunter chicken was big and the side items of mushrooms, green beans and mashed potatoes were all well done and seasoned. The two rice bowls were so different but both very good. The teriyaki chicken rice bowl was my favorite but my dad loved the tofu rice bowl. Everything we had to eat was good and I would get any of them again. Pet peeve: we sat in the sun right at the window. 75% of the restaurant was shaded at that point and another table asked to move to a more shaded area. Instead of moving them they said they would put down the window shades. Why open the windows if only to block them with huge Black opaque shades? I told the woman who was lowering them that we sat there for the sunshine and view. She lowered it 3/4 of the way down. Next time, move the people who ask to be moved. The restaurant has lots of open tables at that time. Would I recommend this place? Absolutely. I would get any of our food again and I enjoyed the view and sun. read more

The mini burgers were great and well priced. My server was wonderful, prompt and friendly. The restaurant was clean and tables were cleared quickly -- impressive.

Great location, ambience and most importantly-Amazing customer service! The manager, (I believe his name was Joshua?) Was very personable, genuine and friendly. He gave us a few great recommendations for wineries and when one of our party mentioned a small issue with their meal, he was deeply sorry and made it right. The apology was sincere on its own, but for him to go a step further for us was unexpected and greatly appreciated. Apart from his acknowledgment and gesture towards us, we would definitely recommend this particular cactus location for above and beyond service. read more

Our first real restaurant sit down since March. I was really tentative but the staff were incredible. Masks, directional stickers and lots of communication when serving. Our waitress was exceptional and was so great with our daughter (all the ketchup requests). Started with Frose & Caesars. Both great. Truffle fries appetizer. Daughter had chicken fingers for supper. I had blackened chicken and husband had the hunter chicken. It was all really good. Cactus Club never disappoints. read more

I always check this place out for a late night happy hour at least once when I visit the okanagan area. I like the quickness and efficiency of the service and how good the happy hour food menu is. I usually get the truffle fries which are my favorite item as well as mini burger which is made with Angus beef and fish Taco. All for under 13$. I highly recommend it and will be back as this is my regular joint read more

I have always loved Cactus Club, everything about this chain restaurant and bar. Where shall I begin with it? This place is refined and classy. The hosts are super nice and friendly. The menu is definitely fresh and good. I love their varieties. I had the truffle fries and calamari as appetizer. Accompanied with the new rose froze which was delicious too. Love that cocktail. I usually go with their Bellini however I wanted to try the new cocktail. For my main, I had the jambalaya rice bowl with only chicken and shrimps as I don't eat chorizo or bacon. It was super delicious and fresh. Love the yogurt that adds that kick and tang to your palate. The service is excellent and I'd always recommend it to all as they pay attention to you or culinary allergies. I love cactus and I always feel like returning due to their amazing foods and service as well as decor which is refined and classy read more

After seeing and walking by many Cactus Club's in BC, we decided to finally try it out at this nice waterfront location. We went in not really expecting much only to be blown away by the food and the service. From reading previous reviews, it's a bit of a mix bag here. However, they get incredibly busy. As they did on a Friday evening. So as a customer, when you see how obviously busy it is, a little patience and understanding goes a long way. I took a chance and ordered the Baja Fish tacos. Now, coming from Southern California and having REAL Baja Fish tacos, I was super skeptical. I didn't expect much at all but really wanted something similar to back home. And I only had Mexican food in Canada once years ago and quickly learned my lesson. Never again. But.. these tacos were a surprise hit for me and my wife who had to try one. Canada, you have upped your game! Crispy batter. Decent sauce and dare I say, even a little spice. And it didn't come from a bottle of Franks RedHot sauce. What!? My wife had the chicken sliders which were tasty and my son got the kids cheeseburger. Just meat and cheese and it was huge! He was going crazy over it so I had a bite and quickly knew why. It was super tasty! I assume it's that Canadian beef I always hear about. Much better than some restaurant burgers in the states. It had a level of flavor and quality I am just not used to without smothering the burger with sauce and bacon. Sometimes keeping it simple is better. In all, a great location. Nice views. Beautiful people everywhere. Servers that hustle with smiles. Great drinks to get your happy buzz on. And tasty food from a kitchen that seems to honestly care what they are serving. Just a really good first impression with only about a 10-15 min wait on a packed Friday evening. We shall return someday!! read more

First time out to eat in Kelowna - hoping the bar didn't get raised too high. I came on a Monday during Happy Hour and this place was filled to the gills. I was with a party of 6 for work and we waited about 10 minutes to seat - that was great considering the line. I enjoyed their HH beers and partake don some truffle fries (must get) and calamari (nice heat with the peppers). Main course here was the Hoisin Short-rib and it was fantastic! So tender, far from dry, just a great dish. The view was spectacular and the service was too notch. If you haven't been I recommend a visit! read more

Cactus Club is a hotel restaurant without the hotel. This is usually bad. However, the Cactus Club has one huge saving grace. * * * Hotel restaurants are pricey. Hotel restaurants have standard upscale North American food. Sometimes there is superior execution - so paying more gets you more. Sometimes there is pretension with run of the mill execution. The simplest guide to whether you are in a hotel restaurant is not whether it is located in a hotel. It is whether the maitre d' shows up with a pepper mill the size of a baseball bat and offers to start grinding. If you see a Louisville Slugger pepper mill, it means your meal is going to be a coin flip. * * * They have Louisville Slugger pepper mills at Cactus Club. Out of pure snootiness, I waved the maitre d' away. This turned out to be a serious mistake. My food was seriously bland-of-the-land. The most immediate absence was salt. By waving my arms like a madman and feigning death, I was able to get the service staff to get me a salt shaker. It is good for your health to work out before lunch. * * * There was good stuff in my salad, but every single ingredient was a coin flip. The avocado, boiled egg and salmon were dead. The red and yellow peppers, tomatoes, pecans and dressing were top notch. It kept the eating interesting because I never knew when the thrills would come. * * * You can't write about the Cactus Club on the lake without talking about scenery and interior decorating. The club is right on the lake with huge picture windows showcasing one of the best panoramas in the city. In the winter, the lake is kinda closed, the way the town Japanese garden is fully and officially closed. So the lake view is not as appealing as it could be. In summer, all that would change. I would bet the summer view from the Cafe is spectacular. The interior decorating is also extremely well done. To see the decorator's work under ideal circumstances, Come at night when the view of the lake is no longer there. The bar is decorated with wonderful hanging colored glass bubbles - each of which has another bubble off center inside. The bubbles come in all different colors. The offset bubbles are at all different angles. At night, all of the light comes from these colored bubbles. If I am sitting at a bar, on my third or fourth or forty-eighth Singapore Sling, My thoughts are little bubbles. My dreams are little bubbles. They come in every color of the rainbow. They go in every direction. I go to bars to make my life fizzy and carbonated, Just like the lights that are hanging in the Cactus Club. So my guess is that this is a superlative place to do some drinking. The Bellini machine they have under the bar suggests that the bar program's heart is definitely in the right place. * * * And if your brain is on Okanagan Lake sailing sixteen sheets to the wind, While your butt is ensconced on a bar stool at Lake's Edge, Your brain is not going to object to paying for a really good burger. Those colored bubbles are the reason we go to bars and get plowed. * * * Cactus Club will not stand up to the harsh scrutiny of the light of day. But at night, we float through the air and are rainbow colored. read more
