We went here with some friends to start our evening. The restaurant is situated in an old house. The character and ambience are fabulous! So nice to get away from the cookie cutter look of other chain restaurants. Made a reservation for 5 people. Then changed it to 6 people and they easily accommodated us. When we made the reservation... More

Granted, a slowish Thursday evening, but everything went wonderfully. My wife and I had the tuna and the crab cake appies accompanied by the Tantalus Reisling (I would have preferred the Quails' Gate Chenin, but nothing wrong with our choice at all). Both appies were very nicely prepared, the tuna not over cooked and the accompanying slaw was modestly flavoured... More

We ate dinner at the Yellow House this evening. I have no idea what kind of food this is, but it isn't modern in any sense. Food was hot and prompt, but the meals lacked flavour, freshness, and consistent seasoning. The starter of bruschetta used ho-hum bread, underripe tomatoes, and loads of cheese. My slow-roasted chicken with demi glaze and... More

A must! The service, food and atmosphere are fantastic! A nice change to the big box restaurants that all taste the same after awhile. Can't wait to eat outside once summer gets here.

Our appetizer -shrimp and scallops - was tasty but cold. The steelhead with great crust was overcooked, and the seafood pasta pretty good. Gluten-free requests were cheerfully accommodated. Dessert - chocolate pate - was great, and so was the service. For more than $120 which included 1/2 liter of wine, the price seems a little high. Overall an average experience,... More

This is a consistently fine restaurant for a very dependable meal. We have eaten here many times and are never disappointed with the food. Big problem this week though - they had an entertainer named Paul Byrne playing guitar and singing. I actually liked his sets but he was inappropriately loud for such a small room. The staff and manager... More

I wrote about this place about a year ago and called it Kelowna's "Best kept Secret". Having again dined here again a couple of days back, while visiting Kelowna, I was quite surprised to see just how busy they were mid week. My wife and I chuckled as an elderly couple were seated near to us and the woman was... More
