   We had a family dinner to celebrate the end of the school year. The large tables I find to be very cold feeling, not warm and cozy. Much prefer individual tables especially for special occasions. The food was delicious as always, especially the Arctic Char! I wish there were a few more non-fried dinner options including fish/chicken. The service was very so-so, could barely hear our server talk despite the restaurant being very quite.

   Was super excited to try this place because the menu looked so good, but overall, the food was quite poor. The Arancini and the Vegan Caesar salad were quite good, but the Duck pizza was so sweet it was almost inedible. The other two pizzas we tried were lacking seasoning and not great. Burger was average.

   My husband is allergic to nuts and when he ordered a dish with cashews in it and asked to have it without cashews, the waitress wrote that down. When the food was delivered, it was delivered as no nuts. He then took a few bites and the dish had been made with cashews. The waitress apologized and the restaurant covered his meal however I was surprised when no one else checked to see how he was or came to apologize. Everyone was very lucky he is not anaphylactic. It definitely ruined our evening and he is still not feeling well. It was disappointing.

   It was a little noisy for table conversation but it was. Friday and there seemed to be a few large groups celebrating. Otherwise ambiance is great and service and food were awesome.

   We made reservations here as we were going to the Kelowna Actors Studio for a show after. The truffle fries were amazing and we all had our own pizza and no one was disappointed. This is probably the best pizza I’ve had. Service and atmosphere was also lovely and very enjoyable. Thanks!

    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

    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,

    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.

    Curious Cafe & Bar NorcinoResponded on February 1, 2022Hi 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.

    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!
