   I was very disappointed with my meal. It was a great presentation, however it was way too salty. Way too many things going with the broccoli salad and there was something in it that I thought was a rock but it was actually something like rock salt or a hard dehydrated vegetable. Almost broke my tooth. The hummus appie was ok. It had crackers that I am familiar with being from a box from Safeway. I was disappointed by my meal to say the least.

   First time here, so I ordered one of the chef's signature dishes: Falafel & Seitan. So many flavors on one plate that all mix and match. Brilliant. Must return for pizza with some of that bacon I saw hanging in the window by the front door.

   We had been a few times a few years ago and returned last night to an amazing experience. Everything from the wine, appies, and pizza, oh and not to mention the fabulous donut dessert!! was exceptional. The cafe is the way we remembered and the service was outstanding! Allie was a wonderful server, she gave us time to go over the menu and was very personable. Can't say enough about the quality of the food and the presentation. We are very glad we came back and will be telling all our friends to go there!!! Thanks so much

   Glad we had a table in the 'back room' as otherwise wouldn't be able to hear each other. Pizza was good. Service 'there' but not outstanding.

   Great friendly and attentive service! I had the margherita pizza which was very good, and my daughter had the Mac & cheese which I would say was fine, no issues with it but a bit bland. Portion sizes/value were good. We shared the donut dessert which was also pretty good but we were both thinking donut vs churro, and it’s definitely that lighter,dryer churro texture… nothing wrong with it, just not was expected. I’ve been before and much preferred being in the back room… not much going on in the front.

   Warm and inviting. We sat at a table for two with a larger party nexf to us and once the dj started it was tough to hear across the table at times. Food was tasty, though a bit salty and salad overdressed. Really enjoyed the duck bao and Aussie pie with spicy tomato jam (quite spicy, do a little went a long way). Ordered a flight of beers, liked the variety, but they were out of a few. I would eat here again; maybe for lunch and try the word fired pizza.

    Our wait staff was great and the food presentation was amazing. Tasted great although we both thought that the food was too salty (Bruchetta Appetizer & Beef Medallion Entree'). Always easy to add salt, but cant take it out of your food! Good vibe in the place, could use some noise dampening as its concrete floor so not much to absorb any sound - so quite noisy. We will return and try a different dish as it was very tasty,

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Curious and I was pleased to see they expanded their menu. I had the fried chicken and fries, the chicken was tasty, crispy on the outside, moist inside. Great downtown Kelowna location, great service.

    This is a very casual atmosphere. We knew that going in and enjoyed ourselves. My husband very much enjoyed his flight of beer. The wine list is exceedingly short, but I enjoyed one of the two they had on offer. Our server was friendly and attentive and the food was tasty! We will definitely be going back.

    Hi Kizzie, Sorry you found our list short, it makes me think you did not receive our Ipad wine list. We have over 80 wine options. Look forward to you coming back and exploring this list.

    Service was good but none of the cooks had their masks on properly which is extremely concerning and disappointing.

    Hi Shandi, We appreciate your feedback and that night I discussed it with the team on the importance of wearing their masks properly. I am sorry they slipped that evening.

    Relaxed atmosphere, good service. Food was good, I had the Mac ‘n’ cheese, friends had mushrooms on sourdough, veggie burger, bruschetta and hummus, all said it was great food, although there was a little too much salt in the Mac ‘n’ cheese for my liking. Will be going back to try both the brunch menu and the pizza menu!

    Best pizza in town! The gluten free crust is the best I’ve ever had, it’s so good I’ve mistaken it for normal crust both times I’ve had it. The food is a good value for the quality. The only thing I’m not a fan of in the restaurant are the videos playing on the TVs. I find them distracting when I’m trying to have a conversation. Besides that I love curious cafe and visit regularly

    The music with Joshua was fantastic. Our waitress started out amazing but as we received our food she became busy in another section and we did not see her for a very long time...had to chase someone for the items we needed after waiting 45 min plus....felt abandoned. It was an unfortunate stain on the evening however others I'm sure will enjoy the food and ambiance!
