Enjoyed two buffet breakfasts and a dinner at this restaurant. The buffet was great - nice selection of hot and cold items with home made muffins and breakfast pizza. Dinner was awesome - had 2 different salads and 2 pizzas - with a view of the lake.

Reviewed By MogKelowna

The bowling was a lot of fun. Modern lanes and fun space. It was busy but we did get a lane after only waiting 10 minutes on a Saturday. They recommend reservations for Friday & Saturday night. Drinks were good. The service at the bowling sign up area was good. But the server/service for drinks was very poor as we had to keep going and trying to find a server. The pub is at attached but has its own space away from the bowling so it is nice to move over to the pub after bowling. In the pub the food was average. Recommend sticking to appies as they seem better than the main course meals. Good drink specials. Service in the pub was better than in the bowling part. Hey MogKelowna, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review and glad your experience overall was positive. Friday and Saturday nights are definitely are busy nights of the week and we do our best to accommodate everyone with food and beverage service on both sides. I do apologize for some longer wait times in the bowling centre and sorry to hear you were not informed about our service button that illuminates your screen for service. This is a great tool as we often have our cosmic lights, loud music, and lots of bowlers during those peak times. We hope to have you back for another visit and if you are a burger or pizza fan, we make them scratch in house with burger buns made specially for us with our grains from our beer :) Chris BunnageSales and Marketing

The Train Station Pub

Reviewed By WandererOnTheRoad

We visit Kelowna for one weekend each year for a summer event, and inevitably stop in here for brunch before we head back out of town. It's very enjoyable. Number one, it's allowed for the old train station to be preserved rather than torn down, and highlights just what an attractive and practical building it is. Number two, the food, beer list,and service are all very reliable. The patio is always too sunny for us, so we're happy to sit at a booth inside where it's cool, but I can see that other people really like it.Hi WandererOnTheRoad, thanks for the annual pilgrimage! We honour the history of the Train Station as best we can. It was originally built in 1926, however it still look very similiar besides the patio and surrounding area. Glad to hear everything went well on your most recent visit. Hope to see you again soon.Roger Hulstein | Guest Relations Manager

Tree Brewing Beer Institute

Back in 1996, we started the TASTE REVOLUTION for Craft beer in Kelowna. We hit the streets and sampled customers with kegs from the back of our delivery truck. Our first customer, THE WATER ST GRILL, was located at 1346 Water Street. It's only fitting th

Our last meeting of the week ended early so we had some time to kill and found ourselves in the old town district of Kelowna. After a nice walk through the yacht club we found the Tree Beer Institute. There were grand brew choices and their house wines were from Quails' Gate. I have never found better 'house' wines as Quails' is truly exceptional. It was the perfect place to sit on the open patio and enjoy the beautiful spring afternoon.

Reviewed By TexasVoyager_BW

This proved a most unexpected surprise. After years of heavy business travel, I have found that most hotel lobby restaurants are a serious disappointment and best avoided. Not the Gulfstream at the Four Points. Though a bit pricey, breakfast, dinner, and the bar were all grand. The atmosphere is classy and the waitstaff ever warm and engaging. There isn't a breakfast buffet like most but the continental was perfect with peaches over granola and greek yogurt served with a buttery croissant. The bar had some great wine and scotch offerings. Even dinner was a delight.

Cactus Club Cafe Kelowna Yacht Club

Reviewed By globalreview2018

If you are in Kelowna and looking for somewhere to have a great lunch by the harbour this is where you need to go. The location by the lake gives you a ground level view of the boats and sea planes across the harbour. The food was great, all the ingredients were fresh, well prepared and the best we had on our Canadian trip. There is a happy hour 2-5 Sunday-Thursday which gives discounts on some of the dishes. It was deservingly very busy so you definitely need to make a reservation.Thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We are so incredibly lucky to be located right on the marina of downtown Kelowna. Getting to overlook the beautiful Okanagan Lake every day is such a treat! We look forward to seeing you again shortly!Cheers!

i had the lettuce wrap, which was terrific, my partner had the chicken curry bowl, we loved our meal. Our server was friendly and spent time with us, which meant a lot to us because we are new to town. . The restaurant was spacious and tastefully furnished. We had samples of different wines, before settling on a wonderful local wine. No room for dessert! Five stars!Deb, Thank you for choosing JOEY Kelowna.I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. We will be sure to share this wonderful feedback with the team.

We had a group of 8 on a Wednesday evening. There were only about 4 other customers in the place. Service was slooow. Pilsner on tap was the drink special, but...dispenser broken so you have to buy expensive bottled beer. When the food did arrive it was very tasty and well prepared. Three of asked for creme brule for desert only to be told they don't have any. This shouldn't happen on a real quiet night.If you have lots of time and $50 bucks for a bottle of wine, enjoy the food.
