We started with small meze called girit and continued with squid and cheese pide. What I liked most about the dishes how the flavors were all right amount. Can not stop myself from complementing to owner Ayse, as we watched the kitchen she was on top of everything, it shows that how much this place is taken care of! Service was amazing and kind too! We will back ?

The food was delicious, bread was fresh and crispy yet soft, we ordered family style which is what is recommended. Everything was so fresh and flavourful. We ordered a few bottles of wine that our server topped up as we drank, our server Mike was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is beautiful right on Okanagan beach, the interior design was trendy yet welcoming. This is a must try for anyone visiting Penticton.

The hostess was so kind and accommodating and our server Ebony was incredibly thoughtful with her menu recommendations. She took the time to speak with us about thedishes and didn't make us feel remotely rushed even though we were there towards the end of the night. The food was amazinglyflavorful and fresh with great quality ingredients. I wish we lived closer so we could come here regularly.

Elma was phenomenal for the little date I had with my boyfriend?s mom. The wine list was good. The food was quite good although the grilled octopus definitely lacked freshness and chewiness, which is what octopus meat is loved for. The swordfishand dessert was amazing though. It is an amazing place for any occasions. The view is amazing. The interior design is thoughtfuland stylish. The staff are amazing. Especially Michelle.
