    Food was delicious. There could have been more direction from the hostess regarding what areas were open to sit in. The server was friendly. We waited a long time for our food to arrive. We’d come try it again sometime.

    We had a lunch booked at 12pm in the dining room. It was very quite and we could hear all the other tables talking, I don’t mind quite but some music would be nice. The lunch was ok, $100 for two people with no alcohol seemed very expensive but it was yummy. Some better coffee options would be nice (cappuccino etc).

    The table setting was attractive and the chairs comfortable. The view was beautiful and it wasn't crowded with people. The music was a little annoying. Something more suitable to a 'high tea' would have been nice. (Some lively — not too stuffy — classical music, maybe.) But that's a tiny detail. Otherwise, it was great! The tea was hot (so important!) and the food was delicious. (Some of the white bread was a little dry. You should fix that. But, again, this is picking at tiny details.) The server was lovely - attentive without being intrusive; polite without being over-friendly. We enjoyed it a lot, and will be back for other special occasions.

    Eldorado is my favourite spot to meet with friends and family all year round. The food is always high quality. The service is excellent and I can always count on it being quiet enough to enjoy having a conversation without loud music or people interrupting. Also, there is never an issue with a feeling like you are being rushed through and out the door. It’s a wonderful place for any type of get togethers.

    We sat beside a couple doing shots who appeared drunk. Loud, slurred speech and lots of f bombs. In addition, the male seemed edgy and easily agitated. They may have been regulars as some of the staff chatted with them as if they knew them. Fine in a regular bar but I expected better when you are paying over $200 for a meal. The waitress apologized when we finished and decided it was time to leave. The next day, I realized we had been charged almost double for the wine from what we ordered and served. When I returned, the manager initially offered the difference as a gift certificate but eventually was able to refund my credit card. Not sure we will be returning anytime soon nor recommend the restaurant to anyway. Too bad as the food was rather good.

    I was a little surprised by the lack of labeled gluten free options. Most buffets offer at least gluten free waffles or pancakes or English muffins. I was surprised that a buffet of this caliber was not clearly labeled. I also thought it was a tad expensive.

    We regularly stay at The Eldorado on our trips to Kelowna. One of the primary reasons we stay at The Eldorado is that we love the idea of not having to drive anywhere, and can enjoy the hotel amenities from the comfortable rooms to the enjoyable 'happy hours' in the bar, and most importantly the outstanding 'date nights' in the Eldorado restaurant. The food is always excellent, and the evening ambience is very pleasant. ... Kim & Ken

    We went for the Sunday brunch and the buffet is nothing short of spectacular with several different dining stations including typical breakfast fare, eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc as well as salads, omelette station, seafood station, Roast beef carving and Yorkshire pudding and a truly delectable desert station. Only issue would be with hot food staying warm enough, warming the plates would help with this. Hard not to indulge!

    We booked standard seating for Christmas Day at this high-end resort with a special Christmas menu. However, when we arrived they tried to seat us at a high top in the busy, noisy bar. Luckily, a calm discussion with the MOD produced a seat in the formal dining room with table cloths, candles and Christmas ambiance overlooking the lake. From there on everything went well with a super kind and friendly server and a delicious meal with a great wine. Great Christmas memories :-). Thanks.
