    The service of this restaurant was great. We went for our anniversary and the manager greated us with drinks. Our food also tasted great beyond our expectations for sure. We had the Tataki steak and bibimbap bowl. The steak was one of the best we had in town. The sitting arrangement is something we were not fond of. Overall wonderful experience.

    Had my 40th birthday brunch here with friends from out of town and really enjoyed the food and service! My sister bought us a tower of drinks, which was fun and great to take photos with. Our server was excellent and brought us a round of yummy shots! My parents go here every week for date night. Nice restaurant with nice downtown Kelowna views and people watching

    Great team work on the service department, very attentive. The appetizers Vietnamese ribs and the shrimp dish were delicious. The main courses were good but not exceptional. Salmon and coconut rice as well as the southern like fried chicken. Dessert: chocolate torte, was very tasty and rich. The experience price menu was GREAT $39 for 3 courses. Overall good experience definitely will try again.
