I absolutely feel compelled to review this place. I'd actually give them more of a 3.5 but I have…read moreREAL reasons, not the ignorant reviews of people that have never worked in a restaurant. Ok. First and foremost, the service is slow and kinda crappy. That's why they didn't get more stars. Having said that, and please pay attention to this, this is not their (the servers) entire fault. Having been a server for over 20 years, I completely understand the restaurant dynamic, and when you are being employed as a server and also expected to hostess, do takeout, answer the phone, bus tables, and all the crap that happens in the background that guests aren't privy too, it wears you down. It's a nightmare. And most guests that write these reviews are like, well, it wasn't busy so why did it take 3 minutes for my beer? How about you guys shut the hell up till you work in that situation. Again; please notice, I did NOT give 5 stars. Actually gave 3. I, from my couple of hours there, having btw, an AWESOME TASTING DINNER, did pay attention to the running of the place. The servers are all miserable, and that's a shame. One in particular was noticeably annoyed by life, we heard her bitching constantly, but again, I am not completely blaming the staff. I truly think this place needs better management. Someone who understands what it's like to be a server. Someone who gets that just because you want to save a couple bucks during Covid or just being in a small town or whatever your issue is, take care of staff. If you don't want to put out the cash, then do the job yourself. I would never return. Not because the food was bad, but solely because I wouldn't put money in the pocket of someone who has no clue how to run a shop and take care of the employees and actually give a shit.

horrible food tasted like someone already ate my burger, m all my fiends food also flavourless and…read moretasted like so ass.

A buddy had been asking me to check this place out for the past year, so we made the trek over -…read moredefinitely worth the extra 20 minute drive north! We had the pups with us, so we found a seat at the patio tables. Our server was offering them a bowl of water before we could even get our drink orders started! I had the Hawaiian burger - very tasty! My pal ordered the chicken wings and nachos. I found the prices to be fair. The tap selection is pretty decent, too. Inside, the dining area and bathrooms were clean & tidy. Plenty of screens for watching the game while you eat. Having this conveniently located on the route to the veterans' park was perfect for us! Will definitely be back soon.

Great stop to have burgers!…read more Gave it 4 stars because I read a review that said to try their fries. I tried their fries, and they were unremarkable. But I still ate them. My husband had the BLT. Said it tasted homemade which is a compliment! Wait staff was good. Service prompt and friendly. We kept going back and forth to find the place because we were looking for a big sign in the building. Later we saw the signs along the road. If the fries were as good as the burger and BLT, this would have been a 5 star review. I should have tried the jojos instead. My husband had the poppers. Yummy. Formulate your own opinion and try this place. We were passing through on a roadtrip. If we're back again, you can be sure that I'll order the burger, with jojos. Oh... another thing. I read about the air conditioning being too cold in other reviews. I run hot anyway, so it was perfect for me. My husband wore his jacket, if that tells you anything. I would much rather be at a place where it's too cold, than too hot. It was in the 90's outside, so having a burger and a sandwich was a welcome relief.

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.
