We have been here now 3 times in the last 3 years for various events we were invited to by Friends. Every single time we go its been the same. VERY uncomfortable Chairs ( Narrow Wicker Chairs????), VERY uncomfortable layout Most Seats you are having to turn your Head to see the Stage) and VERY Tasteless Entrees and Appetizers. Not to mention the Décor is Horrendous The Service however is usually very good. This review section is for the Restaurant, not the Music Venue. It should be separated .

It's always a treat to find somewhere serving vegan food. We had a late lunch of salad rolls which were very filling and the peanut sauce fabulous. The servers could have been friendlier and seemed to defer to regulars while I was asking a question and again while trying to pay the bill. The inside was rather dark but there is an outside patio.

Iâve eaten at the Station Pub numerous times over the years & Iâve never been disappointed. From the âspecial of the dayâ, oven baked pizzas, to their salads....delicious every time. I always ask to be seated in Nicoleâs section!! Sheâs been working there for years & is a fantastic server and very accommodating. She always knows the appropriate times to approach your table, the timing with your foods, to her welcoming smile & warm personality. Iâve visited the pub with my husband, girlfriends & with family, itâs a great atmosphere for everyone!Thank you so much! We really appreciate your kind words. Nicole will be thrilled to hear all of the nice things you've said about her.Hope to see you in again very soon at The Station Public House

We walked along the beautiful lakeshore walkway, which lead to the restaurant entrance. It is on the water, with an unobstructed lake view. Glorious sunny morning. We shared a breakfast Omlet, which came quickly with super frindly service.

Kevin, our waiter, was so wonderful, fun and helpful. Great recommendations. We weren't expecting much from a beachside restaurant but we're so pleasantly surprised. The cerviche was great. And so was the calamari. But the poke bowl was the best poke I have ever had. Fabulous!

The restaurant was recommended to us after the drive in from Vancouver. Our server, Spencer, was really on the ball. He was not only attentive and treated us very well, his suggestions were excellent. My spouse had the grilled peach salad and striploin; I had the squid and cavatelli. The ingredients are all local and fresh. The tomatoes in the cavatelli were so good that the server found out what farm they came from and on Saturday we bought tomatoes from the farm at the farmer's market so we could enjoy them one more time at home. Also, our wine was excellent. My only suggestion: have cushions available to offset the hard benches.Thank you for a delicious evening!Dear reneeauer, Thank you for the five star review. So glad that you could join us upon recommendation. Thank you for mentioning Spencer. He is indeed an asset to our team and it was great to read that he went out of his way to find out more information on our heirloom tomatoes. We look forward to welcoming you back next time you are in the Okanagan. Kindest regards, Olivia HallaManager

High expectations dashed within seconds as waitress could not care less. Cutlery thrown on the table. Refused sun umbrella so had to physically move our tables ourselves for shade. Parasol became available and had to also move ourself. Halfway through dinner the waitress took the parasol from our table for another table without any conversation with us. When we questioned the waitress she said it was because they had reserved a table at which point we stated ours was also a reservation. General attitude appalling and no standard of customer service.. And the food was not all that. If you want to be treated like you don't matter and enjoy over priced tasteless food, this is the place for you.

This highly popular local eatery/coffee shop is beloved by visitors too. Coffee is excellent and the food is all prepared on-site for customers. Big variety of breakfast and lunch dishes often featuring locally sourced ingredients. Can be too crowded to get a seat inside or out, and food can be a while coming. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommended.

We went for a drink and pizza. The beer drinkers with us enjoyed the selection of beer brewed on site. We all ordered the various types of pizza. I tried three kinds, they were all good. The brewery can be seen through a glass wall in the building. The server was prompt and attentive. We all enjoyed our time there.

We came for dinner after a round of golf and were really glad to have made a reservation. We were greeted warmly by the staff and owner. The night was lovely and so they had a table outside . The staff were very unfurled and descriptive in explaining the menu . We enjoyed the tomato salad special, the whipped feta, and pea hummus, Caesar salad (yes-the warm garlic croutons are delicious!), and the prawns. All were beautifully prepared and super tasty. We had two rose wines and both were excellent , will definitely return !
