    Love the ambience with nostalgic pictures of movies stars and movie theatre lobby feel. Our server was lovely and accommodating and attentive even when it got busy. Best happy hour food choices. Cocktails were great-lychee martini was flavourful, lychee flavour I was hoping for was not the star. Will have to come back for the movie and dinner service. Very unique restaurant-love it!

    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
