Checked out Zias Stonehouse Restaurant. They're close to Peacock's Perch Pub. We dropped in for a Thursday lunch (1:15pm). The inside is massive with a quaint outdoor area. 99% of the customers were of retirement age. Decor is eclectic and seating you'd find at your grandma's house. Lunch menu is a great deal ($15.00) with 6 mainstays and four specials. There's dinner feasts for two ($70.00-$80.00). - Almond lemon sole ($15.00) - sole was lightly breaded. Lemon herb cream sauce was subtle. Good mix of vegetables (red cabbage, carrot and asparagus). Rice was more filler than flavour. - Lunch apricot chicken ($15.00) - breast was moist, but apricot ginger sauce was mundane. Can't beat the value at ZSR. 3.5 stars. read more

Impressive service, cozy ambiance and basil delicious dinner at Zias tonight! Love the warmth and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, cute little rooms with so many interesting displays, and tables adorned with tablecloths - taking you back to dining at your grandmas house! Food was so flavourful and beautifully plated. Braised red cabbage was the best I've ever had. Not too pricey either! read more

Zias Stonehouse is historical and whimsical, and truly enjoy the atmosphere for lunch on the patio with friends. The menu offers salads, dips, sandwiches, burgers, pasta and mains with chicken, beef & pork. A bit of everything to suit everyone. I had the daily special which was fish and my friends had the Penne Primavera and Chicken Champignon. In tasting the Penne, I though it was not not seasoned well but my friend liked it. However, the other two mains were very tasty and served with local fresh veggies. We were full but just couldn't pass up the opportunity to try the Tiramisu. So we ordered one with three spoons. The Tiramisu is light and not overly sweet so perfect for us. Been informed the Tiramisu was not made on site but it came in from a neighbouring town. We sat on the large patio and there were many patio umbrellas to provide sun protection. One section has tables under a beautiful trellis full of grape leaves and some grapes. Service was welcoming, prompt and friendly. Will certainly be back when I visit Summerland again. The beautiful stone house was built by Alfredo Biagioni in 1916 and is designated as an architectural heritage site. The stone walls are 18 inches thick. According to locals, they believe the house is haunted-but the place is still very busy with locals so go and enjoy. read more

Food was excellent! We had pesto prawn linguine and the Apricot ginger chicken. Both dishes were excellent, cooked perfectly! At first I was disappointed I didn't see any pasta in the minestrone soup but it was so flavorful I didn't miss it a bit. Even the garlic toast was great. Service was quick and everyone was very attentive. Overall a lovely meal! read more

This was a nice surprise. One of the nicer Restaurants I have been to in this area. Table clothes and good service. Limited menu but what they serve they serve a lot of! I had the small Caesar and plenty for two. The salad was fresh greens, well tossed in their own dressing and very good. Also had the French onion soup which was excellent and lots of it. The crouton on top a nice piece of toast! We had their pork tenderloin medallions which they prepared in a wonderful sauce and fettuccine Alfredo was simply perfect! Only thing to make this a better experience would have been some fresh ground pepper for the salad and some fresh cheese for the Alfredo. (But that's just me!) Service was fast and trendily. Only complaint we ordered and appetizer and it didn't come until the salads and soup! Could have done without it at that point! Good wine list, great food, comfortable place and the portions large enough to share. Will be back.. read more

The hostess, waitress and the rest of the workers welcomed me with a smile from the moment i stepped in. I was able to choose my own spot outside. The food was tasty and the service was fast. I asked the waitress for a recommendation on the wine and her suggestion in not disappoint! This is a great spot to come to if you're in the area! read more

Heard from friends this was a nice restaurant in Summerland, BC. Decided to drop in, just the two of us, without a reservation. I guess this was a bit much for the hostess as she was somewhat rude, unless you were a regular then her demeanour changed, oh well. There were lots of empty tables so not sure of the issue. Anyway, waitress was very attentive and pleasant, she had quite a few tables that were now beginning to fill up yet managed to attend to all with a smile. We liked that we weren't rushed, for a change the entree was not served immediately following our appetizer, time to chat. Dinner was excellent, I had the Salmon with Mango Salsa and my hubby had the Prime Rib which he quite enjoyed, even commented that it was one of the best he has had. We will definitely return. read more

I loved the outdoor decor of the patio. It was romantic and cozy all at the same time. They have an outdoor awning made of vines that surrounds you as you eat, I haven't seen something so stunning in a long time. We had to get Sumac Ridge to go with the theme of Summerland. It was great wine as usual. I think the ambience made it better because it tasted like liquid gold. For appys we had the bruschetta and the tomato and parmesan salad. For dinner I went with the classic fettuccine alfredo which was delicious. I actually ate every bite (well, mostly, my partner had some too). For dinner we had delicious pecan pie. The perfect end to a magical meal. I felt very lucky to be relaxing having dinner in such a beautiful place. Service was friendly and nice. We really enjoyed ourselves. read more

Just ok. Zia's Stonehouse is a lovely place. The building is very pretty on the outside and ok on the inside. There are several areas in which to sit. There are areas both inside and outside. Make sure to make reservations, because it can get very busy. Our waitress was very nice. Our waters were filled often. The large Caesar salad we shared was good, but the dressing wasn't very caesar like. It was still a good salad and the lettuce was super fresh and delicious. My scallops were good but there was so much sauce on them and the rice, they were drowning. The veggies that came with my scallops were good and really saved my meal for me. I wouldn't get the scallops again. Other family members really enjoyed their extremely rare prime rib (ordered that way). The dessert menu was pretty limited and even though I love dessert, I didn't get anything. I tried the banana cheesecake pastry dessert and it was so-so. Overall the food is only "ok" and nothing special. There are limited choices in Summerland for a nice evening out and this is a a decent option. Come here for a nice night out but don't get too excited about being "wow-ed" by the food. We didn't have any issues with our evening, but we all remarked that we thought that several of the waitresses and other staff had on overly small outfits. There was one girl (teen) that was filling water wearing a skirt that was barely bigger than a belt. While eating at a restaurant that many of the patrons dress up for (and tend to be older), skimpy outfits just don't work and are tacky. read more

Had a great evening here. Love the atmosphere, very homey feeling. Came for our anniversary, prices are great and the menu has great variety. Gluten free and vegan options too. read more

Been here many times, as the tourist flood the area June & July avoid this and every place in the okanagan during the summer! We got our meal recently during tourist time with a heat lamp crust on top. The garlic toast was dry and stale. Was told there is 4 pieces of garlic toast....that's one slice cut in 4! They really skimp and mail it in during the tourist season....see you in October? Need a locals only place!?! . read more

Great food, service, and ambiance. Generous portion sizes and lots of choices. We came here for lunch and ordered from the casual fare part of the menu. read more

Delicious food here, and they have a piano player which makes for a nice evening out. It has a nice home feel to it, like you're having dinner at Grandma's house. Definitely my favourite restaurant in Summerland! They have nice outdoor seating in the summer too. read more

Great ambiance. I had the salmon phyllo special of the night. I thought it was just okay. Our service was good.

This is a lovely local restaurant with relatively good food and a decent wine list. The service is always impeccable plus they let you sit there forever and a day after you have eaten, which is quite unusual. A little gem hidden away in our little town. read more

We ate here a few years back and it was a nice experience This trip it was quite disappointing The service was good but the food was just mediocre The pasta in the pasta primavera was way underdone and obviously was cooked without salt The seasonal veggies were essentially raw Three of us got prime rib and all three were tough and tasteless and the sauce/gravy had zero flavor My companions never salt anything and they both salted and salted their food to try and bring out some flavor My Caesar salad had several pieces of bad lettuce and had almost no dressing despite asking for extra All in all it was not a good experience and I would have a hard time going again read more

Wonderful food and a great team Always a perfect meal! Cozy in the winter and perfect outdoor patio in the summer. read more

Pros: delicious local wine and great service. Cons: the food was only meh. We got bruschetta as an appetizer and they cooked the tomatoes on it and put melted cheese on top - think expensive pizza toast. We also got some fettuccini Alfredo which was not so creamy and more like a western cheesy pasta thing that was mediocre at best. We also got the prime rib which was delicious but served well done (when ordered medium rare) - the rest of the plate had delish veg and rice though. The dessert was not a molten lava cake, but a cold chocolate lake inside sub-par chocolate cake. We came because of all the good reviews and thought it was worth sharing this not-so-sparkling experience. $90 later, we were not impressed by the food. read more

Lovely location, great food, separate gluten-free menu, which was much appreciated. Good wine list and a nice shaded patio for a hot day. I was there for lunch on a weekday the first week of September and sat outside with family. Inside was fun to see - it's a gorgeous house. Would have loved to go for dinner. It was recommended by a few locals as one of two options when asked where to go for lunch - and they were right. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent! Great food and ambiance (live piano music)! We had scallops and fettuccine Alfredo. I had a Summerland Chardonnay that was amazing! read more

Excellent food. Does not try to impress with presentation and instead focuses on perfectly made food.

Not enough kudos to be given. Five stars all round. Perfect food. Perfect service. Atmosphere perfect. Price perfect.

The meal was fantastic! Atmosphere and service was top notch. Very accommodating for children!!!

First class service and exceptional food in presentation, quantity and quality! A true favorite of mine in Summerland!

I've eaten here twice now. Food is good. Decent portions. Very clean. Super friendly service. The burgers are fabulous!

We went to Zias for dinner tonight. The food was excellent, the service was great. The downer was having the owner come to our table and say if you're done we could use the table. She could see that three of us had half a glass of wine left to finish. I felt it was quite rude and spoiled a lovely evening. read more

Nice ambience and very good selection. Our food was hot and delicious. Recommend this spot.

Food was good but nothing special, I ordered the Scallops, which were tasty, however I found mushroom wine sauce on top a bit over powering, I would order it on the side next time. The rice was so-so, side of a few potato wedges and seasonal bland vegetables, as well as stewed cabbage and squash. Dessert was my favourite part, being a pecan pie with a flaky crust, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Delicious! Service was okay but nothing great. We entered and what appeared to be the owner of the restaurant, un-energetically sat us at our table, with no smile or happy greeting. However, our waitress was the opposite with energy, yet felt rushed at our table each time she came around. One bus girl wore a spaghetti strap tank top, with her bra exposed. The waitress also hit on my fiancé which I found highly inappropriate as we were trying to enjoy a nice family meal. The pianist created a nice ambiance as well as the lit candles. The building itself is nice and has a historic feel which creates a memorable experience. There was one moment where a flying object hit and broke a glass at a table of 4 next to us. Apparently there's a ghost in the building and after that experience I wouldn't deny it! Overall this is a semi-decent restaurant with a large menu that caters to most with reasonable prices. I wouldn't go back personally but I'm happy and grateful to have experience it. read more

This place is not that great. The waiter was very shy and didn't talk much. She didn't take our order for a while but that's understandable because they seemed to be low on staff. We ordered our food and it was pretty mediocre. Mine was fine but my moms pasta was cold and VERY over cooked. She ate probably two bites and when we informed the waiter she said "ok" and that was that. No offer for new food or to remove it from the bill. I thought that was very poor. Nice building and patio. read more

Caesar salad is amazing! Also, avoid the salmon, it's farmed Last time I was there the server confirmed.

Left the Fraser valley at 9am heading for Penticton. Needed a good stop for lunch on the way. This turned out to be just the place. Great food. Nice ambience. Local wines on the menu. A great time to get Into the OK groove. read more

French onion soup was very, very good. Excellent onion flavor in the broth, but light on identifiable onions. Nice chunk of french bread and generous amount of cheese in the soup bowl. Served piping hot and bubbling. Penne primavera and fettuccine alfredo were tasty, but short on salt and seasonings. Portions of pasta and sauce were large. Hubby and I both brought home half of the entre. The server suggested a local chardonnay which paired well with the meal. We plan to visit the winery tomorrow and pick up a couple bottles for our cellar. We topped off the meal with a lighter than air tiramisu. Yummy! Served with whipped cream on the side. We are contemplating a return visit before our trip is over. read more

This place has gone completely down hill. The food tonight we had was absolutely awful. The server she had a chip on her shoulder. I ordered a Thai Chicken and got 3 - 1 inch x 2 inch pieces on it for $23. The rest was just rice and sauce. Sent it back and got the shrimp chicken. Its like the food was cooked under a heat lamp. The garlic bread had a fish after taste. I really regret going here for dinner, to be blunt I want my money back. It was never like this. Covid or no Covid, Zias is an echo of its former self. I don't recommend this place. Go somewhere else. The toilet calls me now ... read more

We went here for my husband's birthday, while we were spending a week in Summerland. It was fine, but nothing to write home about. The building is beautiful, but the food was just okay. Nothing bad, but nothing really outstanding either. Same with the service. For the price, I was expecting more. read more

I call this the hidden gem of Summerland. This is the best Greek restaurant I've been to in the okanagan. I brought my girlfriend for her birthday and we both agreed it was the best meal we've ever had. The food was extremely delicious. Atmosphere and music here was amazing and the waitress was the most lovely one we've had. Wouldn't think twice about going again. Loved it! read more
