We called ahead to make reservations and they added us for 6:30. The restaurant is on the main floor of a hotel and the decor is very elegant with patio and inside seating. They sat us by the window facing the street, which was nice. We ordered the chowder and a half dozen oysters to start. For mains, our kids got the Mountain Burger and mac and cheese. They ate everything on their plates. My wife had the Steamer Pot and I order the Halibut and Chips. Both were excellent. The Halibut and Chips were not greasy. Steamer Pot was tasty with the coconut curry base. We had the Orchard Apple Pie for dessert which was also excellent. Family really enjoyed the dinner, and its close proximity to the park, beach, and boardwalk with boats was very convenient. We noticed that they had Happy Hour specials in drinks and Sharing Plates. Will definitely have to try coming again during those hours. Also if note is it looks like they will validate or reimburse for parking which is good for next time.

The first…read moreevening I had the Bass and while the fish quality was good, the skin wasn't crispy and it was overall flavorless. It was close to closing time so I thought maybe they were rushed, etc. I went back from breakfast and was awful. I ordered an eggs Benedict, the muffin wasn't toasted, the eggs were overdone, and it was not hot. Nobody came by to check on me and I was very hungry so I ate some of it anyway. It wasn't busy in either visit, so it wasn't a matter of low staff. It's too bad, this could be a nice place.

My wife had the clam chowder and said it was the best she'd ever eaten. They've got a lot of other stuff on the menu too, like oysters, crab cakes, prawns and a bunch of grilled seafood items, so it's not your average fish and chip joint. The decor could use some work but they say they're going to renovate soon.

Ever had a hankering for some fresh fish and chips? Well, we were driving through West Kelowna and…read morefound "Buy the Sea," which surprised us with a menu that not only included fish and chips, but lots of fresh seafood to take home as well. The small restaurant/market offered different kinds of fish and chips at different price points. There was Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Prawns and Oysters, and we chose to split the Haddock and chips, with extra coleslaw and tartar sauce. The Haddock arrived quickly and hot, with a piece for each of us, and a handful of fries - even for a split dish, there were really large portions. The fish was perfectly fried, and inside, tender and melted in my mouth. The chips were crispy, and I enjoyed dipping them in both the ketchup and tartar. They also provided both white and malt vinegar which I appreciated. After lunch, we perused the market area and saw there were giant crab legs, octopus, lots of fresh fish, poke, smoked fish and crab. I had my eye on the sushi-grade Ahi which I will take home next time to make my own sushi. There were also jars of sauces and dressings, and I spied ghost pepper sauce for the next time I need a good flavor boost. The prices were reasonable, and everything seemed fresh and clean. Looking forward to returning!

Update Review for Dining Experience on 28 May 2025 : 1 star…read morefor the Hostess!! First off excellent service from our lovely server Sawyer, her cheerful & professional service saved the day ... we made an online reservation but we did not know we have the option of making waterfront table ( as it was not clearly stated on the website ) upon our entrance I let the hostess know that we brought our visitor from Paris, France to experience the amazing lakeside dining and if she would kindly fit us to one of the tables right next to the water ... after a few minutes she gave us a table right outside of the dining room and told us that was the best they can do ... I totally understand she may have those tables reserved but during the whole dining experience I observed that there are at least 3 or 4 empty tables along the lake front and was not occupied ... I feel my request was being ignored and not valued ... luckily the food also saved the day along with warm Kelowna weather for our Parisian visitor! Below was my original review from a couple of years ago ... The whole experience was 5 stars!

Dependent on the menu, you can get a variety of fusion foods. I always choose to get a really cool cocktail with my meal because it is usually a highlight for me.

My husband and I were in Kelowna to visit some friends (we met at the halfway point, aka Kelowna)…read more When his friend mentioned they were in the mood for Chinese or Japanese food, my mind went to the Asian Pear Buffet. I had never been to this restaurant before and had no idea what to expect other than they would have Chinese food, and it would be a buffet. Turns out, Asian Pear has Chinese, Japanese and Western buffet food. We walked in and were seated promptly to an open table, though I did find out later they did reservations, at least for large groups. Drinks are separate from the buffet food price (the food price was reasonable). My husband ordered a beer and was less than impressed with the size; they gave him a can of beer for the price of a pub pint. I didn't have the heart to tell him that Asian establishments are probably not known for delivering on great value for alcoholic beverages. I was impressed with almost everything else at the buffet. The plates were on the smaller side, but it didn't matter because I could simply get seconds and thirds. The staff are great at clearing your plates quickly. They had a good selection of Chinese, Western and Japanese (sushi) food. I was impressed by the selection for Chinese foods; I saw Sweet and Sour soup, lots of fried rice and noodles and even coconut buns in the dessert section! I liked most of the stuff I tried, expect for the custard dessert they had...it tasted cough syrup sweet. My only caution is to not order the canned alcoholic drinks... you'd probably get more bang for your buck if you went to a pub after the buffet. I think this is a great place in Kelowna if you are looking to satisfy your Chinese/Japanese cravings and if you are into buffet portions. Staff are efficient and friendly. Would definitely go back the next time I'm in Kelowna.

A word of advice from someone who has prepared countless orders of fish and chips over the years. Number one ,, make sure the temperature of the oil is up to the correct temperature. Number two ,, when the oil gets old and dark change it !! don't just add fresh oil to the fryer. And yes, I know that's what you do, I'll be glad when C-Lovers opens up down the road from this place. The last order I got from Shady Rest will be the last order ,, disgusting oil soaked dark fish ,, never again.
