Pros: Excellent food at great prices! Couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised!
Cons: None!

I was taken to this Greek restaurant and wasn't expecting much, especially when we arrived and it seemed a little seedy on the outside. Was I ever wrong! This little place had a great atmosphere (Grecian garden style) inside and super food AND it was reasonable! I also noticed that there was a steady take out crowd as well so it is a well known secret to the neighbours. Really good Greek food at great prices. Highly recommend it and I am looking forward to going back.

Pros: Good, clean fun, diner atmosphere. Lots of parking.
Cons: Doesn't have the Monte Mushroom Burger (White Spot staple) - must build your own.

Those who are familiar with White Spot know their excellent quality for the money. The Triple O (play on their secret sauce name) is an abbreviated White Spot so you know you can rely on the quality, just not all the variety. Nice clean diner ('50's ) atmosphere in a mall with lots of free parking.

Pros: Excellent choice in wines. Food was good but service was great. Nice atmosphere.
Cons: A bit too expensive for what you get.

This restaurant came highly recommended to me as being the new 'in spot' in Kelowna (from a wine rep). I found it was good but not great and - for the money you are paying ($$$$), it should have been better. Nice atmosphere though and a great wine list.

Pros: White Spots offer consistently good food with a nice atmosphere.
Cons: Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer than one would think you should have to.

White Spot (the chain) is in BC only (I think) and has been serving good food for more than 30 years, albeit in the beginning just as a drive-in. In many locations, you can still get car service too! It offers consistent quality with some unique special dishes that are changed frequently. Lots of comfort foods too. Good, reliable food at decent (dine in) prices.

Pros: Lots of fine wines from the Okanagan with interesting and sometimes eclectic food.
Cons: Seating is at a premium and almost always crowded (very popular). Not easy for handicapped.

VERY popular pop-in bistro style restaurant in the heart of downtown near the waterfront. Has super choice of fine Okanagan wines (are there others?) by the glass paired with some fun and tasty dishes. Very popular after-show and late night spot so be prepared to wait.
