I visited Barrique & Java multiple times. The best thing I tasted here was their Whipped Feta ($12)…read moreand Pink Fiesta ($19). The feta dish is local BC whipped feta with harissa honey and crostinis, it was delicious and made with good quality ingredients. The Pink Fiesta is a featured cocktail made with Empress Rose Gin, Basil, Strawberry Syrup and Lime Juice. I want to point out that our service was quite slow, I'm not sure the root cause but service is definitely lacking. The rest of the food and drinks were had were mediocre and way overpriced. We shared a Charcuterie Board ($32) and felt personally victimized by the Greek Yogurt Pretzels ($9.50 and not shown below). You could get both at Superstore for half the price and it would taste the same. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of merlot, so I wasn't completely in love with my Berry Bliss Sangria ($19). But, my Golden Italian Panini ($18) was decent... however extremely over priced.

My wife and I celebrated our birthdays there last night (yes born same day, 1 year apart). The…read morewhole experience was a pleasure right from the start. Entering Intermezzo, we were asked if there was a special occasion that brought us in. We told them it was our birthday dinner. Upon being escorted to our table, we arrived to find a Happy Birthday sign had been placed on the table. The evening just got better from there. We shared two appies, escargot and bruschetta, a bottle of Ancient Hills Pino Baco, then our entrees. My wife absolutely loved the Ahi Tuna, while I devoured an amazing Moroccan Rack of Lamb, both of which were prepared to perfection. We finished off sharing their signature Black and White Creme Brule. Our server, Jess was an absolute delight, listening to a couple of old fogies stories, and offeriing to take our picture as a momento of the evening. Intermezzo has become our absolute must go to for future birthday dinners. A phenomenal evening.

There are not many vegetarian options but one can get by with a pasta. They have a good wine selection and some very good wines from a related small production wine maker.

Everyone was happy with the food.

We booked a Happy Hour reservation for the long Sunday Easter long weekend at 4:30pm and we were the first to arrive. As Salt & Brick has an evolving fresh sheet menu, you never know what's on the menu but they usually have a few staples like their Brussel sprouts. As this was my boyfriend's first time here, we ordered the Brussell sprouts with popcorn and the Rigatoni. We were given the regular menu but did inquire about Happy Hour and the Brussel sprouts, pastas, and charcuterie board were on special. Unfortunately, they didn't have any oysters available that day. Small cozy atmosphere with a cute front porch. It's a small bar and kitchen that you can see and wonderful that you see and hear all the food being freshly made to order. Our server was friendly, chatty, and attentive but also gave us our space too. The Brussel sprouts served with cheddar popcorn, grapes, and ripped beer cheese is a bit salty, sweet, and so satisfying! My partner doesn't love Brussel sprouts but really enjoyed this dish. The Rigatoni was a bit rich with a nettle became sauce but served with the earthy lily spears, it was a well rounded dish altogether that we also enjoyed. Cute restaurant on the Downtown main strip that isn't a major chain, which is refreshing. Will continue to visit next time in town and hopefully they will have oysters then!

The website advertises this place as casual, dining, and it is that but done with a really high class slant that makes you feel very comfortable, but well looked after at the same time. I had the braised short rib cooked by this guy. It which was honestly one of the best short ribs I've ever had, and I've had a few! Beautiful wine, quality, cocktails, fantastic staff. If you're in Kamloops, make this your place to have a great meal and relax with quality drinks. Can't recommend the place enough!

Our servers on both occasions were highlights, attentive yet also leaving us be. Last night it was just K and I and the previous visit there were five of us outside on the patio. The space is nicely decorated but has no real charm or ambiance, which is understandable in a big hotel. The menu is extensive enough that you should be able to find something to meet the needs of your palate while here, but there are many choices within walking distance that may be a better choice of you are looking for a specific culinary experience. If you don't want to leave the hotel, you shouldn't be disappointed with your choice. Our food while not amazing during each visit was solid, and well presented. It might be a little on the higher end cost wise, but what isn't these days.

This place is a long standing fixture in Penticton and we were looking forward to it. And we weren't disappointed. I had the stuffed pork and my wife had the stuffed chicken, both were incredibly done and presented beautifully. The portions are substantial so think of that if you are wanting an appetizer. Lots of choices for wine, most local which is great. There are many notable wineries in the region. The service was great and it was one of the first nights with the launch of the vaccine passport. I appreciated how we felt safe as they took the passport seriously and you couldn't enter the restaurant without documents, even though a few tried.
