Every year we come to Naramata and Lake Breeze is our go to for amazing lunches. Beautiful winery and great wines.
Excellent fresh food, superb service and friendly atmosphere. Menu was assisted by suggested wines. Great views of the picturesque valley. Reasonably priced food. Spent the morning visiting local wineries, finishing off here for lunch. Made for a decent family outing
Excellent pasta dish for lunch in a beautiful surrounding. Great service, even with it being very busy and full.
Driving the southern Okanagan we looked a several local wineries but landed here at a well-known named outlet for lunch. we decided not to do the tasting but rely on what came with the food. Although we didn't have a reservation, we were accommodated quite...readily despite it being busy. The patio is a delightful space to enjoy lunch in good weather with a view over the lake and sunshades to keep the harshness of the sun off. We decided on a couple of sharing plates - Antipasti and cheese - they were excellent if a little light on amount, especially the charcuterie. However, the 'award-winning' syrah and rosé wines also perfectly fitting. . A little pricey at C$113 for what it was but it was but a very enjoyable lunchMore
We visited the winery as it came with a recommendation. Beautiful ience and wanted to support the local winery and farm to table concept for a meal. What we were surprised the price of a bottle of wine. In the tasting room a few feet...away the bottle costs $26 but they charge you $41 when you order it with your meal. The meal portions and presentation are Parisienne, if you know what I mean. Very well presented, but small portions. The wine tasting is free if you are having a meal. The wines are quite pricey too when compared to other wineries in Summerland. Worth the drive. Gorgeous views on the patio to have a meal.More
We dined here on the patio last summer and had a wonderful experience. This time not so much. One thing the restaurant fails to do is state they are dog friendly. Even though I like dogs, I don't think they belong in a restaurant setting,...let alone what most people would call fine dining (based on the prices). First thing we noticed was the smell of wet dog. There was one at the table directly behind me. Then we heard another bark, and another. There were 4 customers with dogs! To my utter horror, one of them chose a tree only 4 feet from us to urinate. In addition to that, there was occasional barking between dogs and a very fluffy tail flapping against my arm. When we mentioned all of this to the server, she nonchalantly said "well, this IS a farmstead!". I am sorry but if I am going to pay $30-40 per dish, I don't want to be having to watch a dog reliving itself! Moreover, dogs are full of fur and can carry fleas and ticks - this is unsanitary and should not be allowed in an eating establishment. It is unfortunate they allow dogs as it is a beautiful, serene setting but the public has a right to know in case they don't like dogs, are afraid of them or simply agree with me that they do not belong in restaurants.More
We visited Lake Breeze Restaurant again this summer on more than one occasion. As always the view is spectacular with the setting of the restaurant over the vineyards and the Okanagon Lake. I booked on OpenTable as usual and even asked for a table nearest...to the vineyards. Even though they confirmed on OpenTable, the servers were below par in not seating us accordingly. They have an extensive gluten-free menu which my wife really love. Will most like be back and hoping servers will be more attentive.More
No reservations, asked for a table for two (another group in front of us did also) and we were turned away. They said they were fully booked but half the tables were empty. We stayed for an 30 minute long wine tasting and walked around...for a while afterwards and the tables did not fill up. No problem. Went to another winery up the road who were actually busy but still found a way to accommodate us.More
We had an excellent lunch on the patio. We ordered Capellini with Prawns and the Cornish Game Hen with Risotto. Both these dishes were delicious but the Risotto with preserved lemon was exceptional. And then we ordered dessert: chocolate ganache and a strawberry tart which...both surpassed all expectations. We had the Lake Breeze Sauvignon Blanc to accompany this very memorable lunch. We will be back!!More
On a bike ride, we decided to grab a late lunch at Lake Breeze. What started out as a nice sunny calm meal, changed to windy and freezing. In spite of the generous offer of blankets, our umbrella was blowing away along with our food,...so we had to cut things short. As for food, the limited menu was pretty average and a bit overpriced.More
Arrived a little early for our lunch reservation so we did a tasting. Stephanie was our server and she did such a nice job explaining the wines. Every wine we tasted was wonderful. Tasting done on a little patio, standing under umbrellas, very comfortable. Lunch...was on the patio. Great views down to the lake. The food was out of this world good....started with the soup - spring leek with artichoke, aged cheddar, chorizo with a sprinkling of EVOO on top....I could have eaten a gallon of that soup, it was that good. For the main we had the capellini - spring green vegetables, garlic | extra virgin olive oil, harissa cream and a pine nut crumb. When we were finished I stopped by the kitchen to give a shout-out to the chefs...the food here is really fine. Service was excellent. Vanessa was our server (I hope I remembered the name correctly) Friendly, attentive, helpful...great personality...helped make our stay memorable. Lake Breeze Patio has become our "GO TO" spot in Naramata. Great wine, great food, great service, great setting.More
Friendly service, fresh food in a beautiful setting. Lots of space on the patio and good Covid protocols
we unexpectedly stumbled upon this restaurant and it was a nice surprise! the food was very good and the staff were a 10/10!
Very disappointing experience. Booked a wine tasting for 4 people at 4:15 and arrived 10 minutes late (the usual grace period for any restaurant) and was told our reservation was given to another group. One of the workers told us there is only a 10...minute grace period, an though we were within it, failed to own up to the fact that they had given our reservation away to another group, but they had mistaken them for us meaning we actually paid for their tasting. Staff were very rude, I would not recommend.More
I understand the issue of having so many people drop in these days - the Naramata Bench is incredibly popular and busy with tourists - but the barriers here seem excessive. Required pre-ordering of your food as part of a reservation... meaning that if you...invite someone to lunch you need them to tell you what they want before you book. For us... we dropped in, no reservation. Told by the surly hostess that we needed a reservation and there was no room. We stepped 20 feet away and made a reservation for 5 minutes from then and walked back to her. Fine. Seated. Food and wine and ambiance really nice, once you get in there. Yes, they drill your wallet hard, but hey, that's expected at a nice winery like this. Overall, despite the inconvenience, I'd consider going back. It was a nice patio for a really good lunch, in the end.More
