On our arrival to Penticton we recalled the evening we had here on our last trip. It was a night at…read morethe bar with a couple of appies so decided we would make it dinner on this trip. This place is a long standing fixture in Penticton and we were looking forward to it. And we weren't disappointed. I had the stuffed pork and my wife had the stuffed chicken, both were incredibly done and presented beautifully. The portions are substantial so think of that if you are wanting an appetizer. Lots of choices for wine, most local which is great. There are many notable wineries in the region. The service was great and it was one of the first nights with the launch of the vaccine passport. I appreciated how we felt safe as they took the passport seriously and you couldn't enter the restaurant without documents, even though a few tried. If you are looking for a great home cooked meal The Cellar is the place.

The service was attentive and at the end they gave us a tour of their cellar which made the night very memorable. As for the food and wine, everything tasted fantastic. We had ordered a flight of their Chronos Red Wines and Chronos White Wines - we preferred the Reds as they paired nicely with our food. My Peace Country Lamb ($60 - rack of lamb) had a lot of flavors and was nice and tender. And hubby's 12oz Ribeye ($78) was sooo good and juicy. The kids enjoyed their Carbonara ($34) and Warm Breads ($12 - pricey for bread though and they don't give you any comped ones to start). At the end of the night, we had brought an ice-cream cake but the staff told us it was "unsalvagable" (perhaps it melted?) so they comped us a variety of their desserts instead. The desserts (creme brulee, tiramisu, chocolate torte, olive oil cake) were OK - not standout but we appreciated the variety.

The service was exceptional, with the servers being around when needed but also giving us space to enjoy our meal. The food was exceptional. My wife had the chicken parmiagianna - which some at the table said it was the best chicken they had ever had. I had the Chinook salmon on a roasted tomato risotto. It was delicious and cooked to perfection. Along with the excellent wine selection, a highlight was the number of different unique non-alcoholic beverages, including a sparkling apple rhubarb drink, and a watermelon mint mocktail. Definitely will come back again!

Reading all these reviews, I see that they are all over the place: some 5 star, some one, and many…read morefolks who've been here a few times saying that the food and/or service here is inconsistent. I think that's probably true. My kid and I heard that this place has an awesome happy hour deal: purchase a drink from 2-5pm, get a free pound of chicken wings. And the wings look great, with lots of choices of sauces! We had hoped to come here for this HH deal but unfortunately, the time never worked out. So we came here for an early lunch instead one hot day. There were very few diners when we arrived, so we had our pick of tables. We chose to sit at the outdoor patio, as it was a lovely day. Our server was super nice. My kid ordered a Wagyu burger with fries and a flight of beers. (One this day of the week, any Wagyu item was $2 off. They have certain specials every day of the week). I usually have a salad for lunch, so I ordered the vegetable salad with beets and goat cheese with its honey Dijon poppyseed vinaigrette. The flight of beers was quite good (according to my kid, who enjoyed them). Her burger and fries were also quite good. (I had a bite and it was tasty). 4/5 stars for her meal. My salad, however, was beyond sad. It was 95% lettuce, a thimble-full of goat cheese crumbles, zero beets, a few wilted cucumber spears, and, again, 95% lettuce. (At least the lettuce was fresh and clean, I'll give it that! But for $17, it was 95% lettuce! I am not exaggerating. And the vinaigrette looked and tasted exactly like a bottled Kraft dressing I've recently had. It did not taste like honey or Dijon at ALL). I'd give my salad 1/5 stars. And that's being kind. (I returned 75% of it uneaten. Even my kid wasn't up for it - and she usually finishes ALL my meals). One item on the menu sounded too good to pass up: their "peaches in a blanket" dessert. It takes 20 minutes to make. We ordered it - and it was the highlight of the whole meal. (Sorry I did not get a photo. We ate it immediately lol!). It was truly delicious, and not obscenely large in size (I find it a turn-off when portions are too huge. This was sized just right). Truly delicious. 5/5. Side note: the bathrooms here, in the back of the restaurant, are quite nice. There are three of them, each nicely decorated, and roomy, one with a large baby table. All super clean. I was impressed by the washrooms! Back to the food... regarding our meals, our dishes were very inconsistent. I'm giving this place a 3/5 stars, totally middle of the road, just because I think your experience will depend on what you order and what day you order it.

It was busy inside but there was a 4 top table available. There were some couples at 4 top tables. The hostess asked the manager where to seat us and he said at the bar. That doesn't work with a child, it's a liability, she could fall and we were clearly attempting to work together. I explained this to the host and she just gave me a blank stare. We decided to leave and then the people behind us who was a party of 3 were seated at the 4 top. Very disappointing.

Back in April 2026, my kid and I decided to take a trip to Penticton for my 65th birthday in July…read more(we had never been before). I started to do research on where to go for my birthday dinner, and since I love tapas, I found this restaurant online. It sounded special. I was unable to reserve a table, though (keep in mind, it was April and I wanted to reserve for a July date). I emailed this restaurant and had a lovely exchange with Kimberly who said she would make the reservation for me and she wished me a very happy birthday and said how honored they were to celebrate such an event with me. SO nice! My kid and I arrived at 6:30 pm on the date in question and unfortunately, Kimberly wasn't there, but our server was super friendly, and we got a seat by the balcony in their covered outdoor patio area. The view of the vineyard and the valley was spectacular! I had their "strawberry punch " cocktail and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. My kid concurred. We both loved it. She ordered some bubbly wine ("The Isabella") which was lovely (but not as lovely as my cocktail!). Food-wise, we ordered the lemon mackerel, the grilled sardine, the marinated beets in cherry vinaigrette with mint, the baguette, and the paella. OMG each dish was a 5/5. Just wonderful. Every dish. The paella was extra special, with huge prawns, Manilla clams, other kinds of mussels, chorizo, roasted chicken thigh, and Spanish saffron rice. It was chock full of delicious seafood and to die for. For dessert we ordered the cheesecake with the cherry compote. The server brought it out with a sparkler on top, which made it extra celebratory and special! (I wondered if they would charge me for the dessert, as usually restaurants give you the dessert complimentary on your birthday. This restaurant did not do that. lol. But it's okay. It was WORTH IT!). This was truly a special, special meal, and we loved every second of it, and every dish. If and when we return to Penticton, without doubt we will have special meal here. Worth every penny!

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 inside is massive with a quaint outdoor area. 99% of the customers were of retirement age. Decor is eclectic and seating you'd find at your grandma's house. Lunch menu is a great deal ($15.00) with 6 mainstays and four specials. There's dinner feasts for two ($70.00-$80.00). - Almond lemon sole ($15.00) - sole was lightly breaded. Lemon herb cream sauce was subtle. Good mix of vegetables (red cabbage, carrot and asparagus). Rice was more filler than flavour. - Lunch apricot chicken ($15.00) - breast was moist, but apricot ginger sauce was mundane. Can't beat the value at ZSR. 3.5 stars.

Since my kid and I love Greek food, Theo's was definitely on my list, if we had the chance, to have dinner here one night. Wow, what a marvelous restaurant! The restaurant exterior is unassuming but wow, inside, the decor is fabulous! We couldn't decide where to sit as every area inside was so picturesque and felt so intimate. Ultimately, we chose to sit in the front covered patio area. It felt like a little courtyard and our table was located a corner under a REAL grape tree. With hanging grapes! A small water-fountain gurgled behind us. We truly felt whisked away to some faraway Greek island. The menu was very large, with SO many dishes and platters to cheese from. We weren't starving, so we decided to share the moussaka (and hopefully save room for dessert!). Their cocktail menu looked fabulous, too, but we really wanted to save our appetite for the entree. (We've learned our lesson in the past, not to over-order!). When the moussaka arrived, the portion was very ample, and it was perfect to split in half. And we both agreed: it was probably the BEST moussaka we had ever had. Seriously, perfectly cooked, deliciously seasoned, perfect ratio of all the individual ingredients, just DELICIOUS and perfect. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My kid loved the accompanying potatoes and carrots and lemony rice too, but I was too full from the main meal. And unfortunately, we were too full for dessert. Our server was lovely and attentive. My kid and I agreed we definitely will come back here when we next visit Penticton. I think this was the best Greek restaurant we've ever been to!
