We had the best experience at Longshots! By far the best dining we have had in a long time! Kevin, the manager was fantastic, the steaks were perfect, can’t even find words to describe the amazing flavors in each and every bite! Beautiful atmosphere with evening views of a snowy ski village! Don’t change a thing…see you next year!!! ♥️

Socialē on Lake Shore

Tapas / Small Plates

Penticton / Naramata

About the restaurant

Those behind Socialē by Villa Rosa have been offering consistently great food and wine from both B.C. and Italy for more than 15 years in Penticton. That food, which includes fresh, local produce, and wine complements the atmosphere and makes for an unforgettable experience.

Socialē, which is Okanagan family owned, is the cousin of Villa Rosa Ristorante, which is on hiatus. The soul of that restaurant will live on through Socialē. The Italian wine bar and coffee house has taken the best from Villa Rosa Ristorante and turned it into something even more unique and special.

Socialē is located at 950 Lakeshore Dr. W., in Penticton, mere steps from Okanagan Lake Beach.

About the restaurant

Ugly Duckling takes its inspiration from the intersection between Coastal BC's magical landscapes and the rich cultural heritage of North America’s oldest Chinatown. We offer experiential dining built around two promises: to serve you only those things which we have made by hand; and to work really, really hard to make you smile. We can't wait to welcome you.

Presentation and service 5 out 5 Food was fresh and balanced - complex and very tasty- Left less than full - for fine dining this is somewhat expected- If I was to be a repeat customer I would like to see at least the main dish 30 percent larger - the other 5 dishes were approximately sized.

Tofino

About the restaurant

ROAR is a restaurant rooted in rebellion. We honour the rebellious history of Tofino and we proudly rebel against the status quo. It’s the waves crashing and raging flames. It’s the roar of a rebellious nature.

This isn’t like any other restaurant. We cook with live fire, and all of our food and beverage is inspired by the local people, makers and ingredients of Tofino.

Just as you would gather with friends around the campfire, we invite you to get comfy here while we share the stories behind every one of our menu items as the fire roars in the background.

I have been going to Odd Fish for many, many years after work for drinks and appies (fries are the best!) as I work nearby. Their customer service is always AMAZING. It’s a true gem in Kits! Do yourself a favour and give them a go…. You’ll be happy you did!!!
