Smack DAB

Good food, fantastic view and slow service. Overall good

Great location, fabulous staff, good Covid protocols and excellent happy hour offers!

Always a delicious meal at SmackDab. First time dining post-COVID. The staff there took every precaution possible to make it a safe dining environment. Tables are spaced out, service staff in masks, and sanitizer in the hotel lobby.

New York steak was incredibly good. Pairs well with the old fashioneds. My daughter had a sundae for dessert and it looked very good (she finished it all so must’ve tasted good).

Definitely come here if great food is what you’re looking for.

Made a res on open table and was told patio not available when we arrived - only with call ins or walk ins. Disappointing. As such we sat close to the windows and in a booth so we felt covid safe in any case. Next though was the $18 wine selection Sauvignon. Sad to say it was awful. Then the food. Caesar salad was actually delicious and hubby ordered a pizza which was fine. I ordered the black truffle pasta in a white sauce. Well it was so herby and salty with fake flavours I simply couldn’t finish it! Very disappointing experience overall! Wont be back!

One of the best restaurant meals I have ever had. The server was available exactly the right amount of times. The patio ambiance is incredible. Highly recommended. Our friends said next time they come to town we must go here again.

Very nice lunch on the boardwalk overlooking the lake. Excellent service.

It was very nice, unfortunately you cannot reserve a patio table on OpenTable so would phone and book directly with the restaurant next time

Ask for Francis as your waiter, does his job like a legend and has great recommendations for your visit.

Food and service was great as always. All the staff was masked!

The food was very good and portions were generous; great waterside dining. Very good service.

I have never written a negative review but our visit to this establishment today was appalling. We were not guided by a host to our table but rather giving a table number to seat ourselves. When we arrived outside we were the only guests at the time seated on the patio (was a colder day), we chose to sit at a table in the sun rather than the shaded table we were assigned to sit at. Knowing that this could confuse the hostess we wanted to make sure that the server was aware right away when she came over. The server reprimanded us, talked down to us, told us to go talk to the hostess ourselves and walked away while we were trying to discuss with her. Felt completely uncomfortable after the interaction and decided to leave. Tried to discuss with management when exiting but service and communication was very poor. We saw a neighbouring table be treated by the same server the same way and they also left. Will never be returning.

We booked a table 2 days in advance and waited at the front lobby for 15 minutes. Then we were not given a lakeside table - which is why we booked in advance. Server was not available much and service was slow. this was outside of our normal experience at Smack Dab.

Our waitress was so great

Beautiful to sit on the deck and enjoy the summer evening in Kelowna

Good food great patio and waitress was exceptional

Great views on the patio. Service was excellent. Breakfast was great!

I love Smack DAB. Great location and good service. I always get the same dish so loved my main. Took a walk on the wild side and ordered some appetizers and wasn't impressed with either choice of curly fries and flatbread with warm olives.

Wanted patio!

Great views nice location on the lakefront. Went for patio but storm was brewing so watched waves and parasailing while we ate inside

I was super excited to try the yam tacos but they weren’t at all what was listed on the menu. Meh. But the Caesar salad was excellent as usual!

My experience at smack dab was very enjoyable and I will definitely be back and would recommend it to friends, a great place all around

Excellent food, great service and gorgeous setting. Thanks for a nice evening.

Lovely dinner enjoyed by our group of 3.
Our server Evan was amazing and set the tone for a relaxing evening, in a fabulous location with great food.

It was great!

I had my hopes up for this restaurant. It was recommended to me by a few friends. Well I was extremely disappointed. If you book through Open Table you’ll be put to the bottom of the list for your seating. They want you to call in otherwise you are nothing to them. A booking weeks out puts you in a booth inside in the corner by the exit. Hopefully they can get their priorities strait. The earlier you book should be the better spot you get. Maybe a couple Reno’s inside to make it not so disappointing. Food isn’t anything special. Typically I would give that up for a good view and food cocktail. Not the case.

This place was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. We reserved the patio and it had a gorgeous view of the lake and boats. The food was fantastic. I recommend the lemon garlic fries. We had the yam taco and the shrimp taco which were tasty. Wish I could have tried more of the menu but we only had a couple more days left in Kelowna. Will definitely be back when we visit again.

Very good service

Great food and wonderful service. The views from Smack Dab are beyond reproach. A fantastic place to sit and enjoy the sunset.

I'm sorry Smack DAB because you are my first bad review.

I reserved a table for four people to celebrate two birthdays on OpenTable. It stated online that there was no guaranteed for patio seating because it was weather permitting (It was a beautiful day with no rain), I called the restaurant and requested the patio which the hostess confirmed would be no problem.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess seated us smack dab in the middle of the restaurant where all the servers and customers had to walk past. When I approached the hostess she said their was a note on my profile about patio seating, but the reservation after us also requested the patio and she felt bad moving them(?) but would speak with the manager. Eventually the manager on duty brought us to a table on the patio but treated us poorly, making the table feel as if we were a nuisance wasting her time.

The manager sat us in a corner by the servers station where they placed all their dirty dishes, refilled water etc, while a beautiful six top table beside the water sat empty for half our dinner (later it was sat with two people).

Unfortunately our birthday dinners weren't what we were hoping they would be due to the poor management, lack of care and unpleasant view.

On the positive side my father said his steak was one of the best steaks he's eaten and also one of the most inexpensive.. so bravo kitchen for that.

Cute place on he water front! Food and drinks were good. Great service!

Went for breakfast, food was ok but not great, limited options. View is beautiful

Frequent diner of Manteo and subsequently Smack Dab in the past. Attracted by great patio which is doubly important in these days of Covid

It was a wonderful experience overall except that when I called to make reservations the person who answered said there were no available spots left for the whole weekend. I had been there before when it was not during COVID so I thought maybe it was super busy. Then, I seen online that they had availability so I was confused and made a reservation anyway. Online we were only able to reserve for 4, but we had five in our party so when we got there I let the hostess know. She informed me to call next time, but this tome it was ok. I let her know what happened when I called and that I was able to make a reservation online. She then told me that online it lies, they are always having problems due to this with over booking. We got a take outside, it was beautiful. Right by the water. On the patio it seemed like it was full at all, inside looked bare too. Other then trying to get a spot at this restaurant it was nice, the food and service was great.

Lovely views from the patio. Servers all wore masks, and tables are well spaced. Food is outstanding !!!

And they don't rush you. So this is a perfect place for a leisurely romantic lunch or dinner -- or a special occasion lunch with friends.

Good straight-forward breakfast, great views and pleasant staff.

Great food! Fabulous views

The waitress was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the various menu items. She didn’t rush us to order but came back to check Multiple times
The mussels starter was amazing as well as our main meals the salmon and the chicken. Great evening great good pleasant atmosphere.

This was our first time to Smack Dab however it won't be our last. Everything was awesome. The only thing that is a bit of an issue is finding a parking place. They should have some designated restaurant only spots.

Amazing service and atmosphere, food was delicious and excellent wine menu.

Good food, lovely view, favorite friend equals a wonderful time!
