I have been to this coffee house a number of times. Great atmosphere. My last lunch experience wasn't wonderful. A grilled wrap with a slice of orange - the presentation on the plate was pretty naked. I would suggest they add a little salad to dress it up. A little on the pricy side for the amount of food you get. Soups dessert and coffee would be my recommendation. Great place to hang with a friend and have a peak at the art on display.

Birthday dinner here was marvellous! I had my "usual" - roast lamb shoulder although I swear I'll have something different each time. Great menu, great service, great food and a feeling of being somewhere in the Greek countryside. Love this place! It was under new ownership for awhile but the original owners are back. Thanks for a special evening!

Atmosphere was plain, not much décor. Service was quick but we did have to ask for coffee refills as other people had mentioned. Ordered a cheese omelette. The eggs were not mixed well as there were white and yellow blotches all over. It was lightly cooked and should have been cooked longer. The cheese was not melted. The sourdough bread which is made here was awesome. Food tasted fine so yes we would return. My wife had a feta cheese and green onion omelette which she said was great. Very much a neighbourhood restaurant. A group of about 20 people arrived when we were there so quite popular with the locals.

Andreas Di Maggio opened l'isola bella bistro in 2007 ,his cuisine has been popular ever since. From delicious pastas to excellent homemade sauces .Fresh salads to testy appetizers. It has been a rewarding experience for Andreas and his staff.

This quaint little Bistro is lovely. The atmosphere inside is so comfortable. The food is always a great hit, and so very reasonably price. Authentic Sicilian cuisine. Portions are more than enough with usually extra to take home for later. Their take out is awesome also. Service is excellent. A must to go to when visiting Lake Country. Enjoy.

Great location & dedicated staff! We've gone here quite a few times but on the last 2 visits we specifically noticed that the prices seemed very high (inflated) compared to the portions size and quality. We often order Calamari starter to share, not sure what happened here but seriously miniature portion for the price of $15- ! No 'heap' but spread out over half the plate, they must think 'tricks' the eye. No more fish tacos so ordered the prawn tacos, seriously? They were the 3 smallest tacos I've ever seen, skimpy on the ingredients and priced at $14-... Don't ask for xtra cilantro, you won't notice it... I regret not taking photos!!!B My husband ordered the lobster mac n cheese...what a joke! Alfredo sauce, not quite! Lets call it a plain and bland bechmel sauce and be honest Turtle Bay! We won't be taking or meeting friends here in the future for fear of embarrassment. Nobody likes dishonesty or feeling like they've been ripped off! Trust me we don't mind paying $$ for good food=good quality=realistic portions!! We went to The Keg this past weekend and guess what? The Kegs appies prices are cheaper!! Scallops & Bacon, $12- Baked Garlic Shrimp, $10- Turtle Bay, you are a Pub not a fine restaurant so it's not right to charge more is it? Check Earl's Restaurant prices too, guess what?? They are cheaper too!!! Coconut Prawns, $12.75! Turtle B - $14-! Actually, all of Earl's appies are less and the Kelowna downtown one has a view too! We might pop by for a bevvie on the patio in the summer and only order yam fries to share...oh wait, these are more expensive than Earl's to......sigh....Please get it together T.B. Great location and great staff please don't drive your local customers away! Don't you need their business in the winter months?

We have been to Routes a couple times since we moved the area and have had a great experience every time. The food is amazing, everything is hand made and much of it local and the service is fantastic. They always welcome our three little kids and provide them with colouring, dessert and the "best pizzas ever" . Great selection at the bar as well! I would highly recommend Routes Grille for fantastic local food and experience!

The sushi here is reasonable, if you were a sushi guru you certainly will not love this sushi. Their tempura is actually is quite good. The atmosphere inside the restaurant isn't something I would take in, and often I can smell the bathroom air freshener throughout the restaurant. Such a turn off when having something to eat. Staff are very friendly, and the prices are reasonable.
