TERRIBLE ALL AROUND. So bad that I actually made a Google account just so I could warn others. One of the worst places I have ever eaten.
My fiance and I decided to try this place after a few suggestions from our friends (Despite my mother telling me about her terrible experience there, where it took her 15min to get a glass of water while all the staff were just sitting in the corner chatting.) Needless to say, we were very disappointed. To start with, the lighting and table arrangements were awful and the bad music was playing really loud. Also very expensive menu.
The service wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Our coffee was tasteless, burnt and watery. I ordered the omelet with chili and it was by far the most bland tasting chili I have ever had. My shredded hash browns were not cooked and very soggy.
My fiance ordered eggs Florentine with SOFT poached eggs and the yolks were not runny at all and his hash browns were also not cooked.
Even when we get bad food from places, we still choke it down, pay and just don't come back. but here... we couldn't even pretend to like it. I told the waitress that we didn't enjoy it and all she could do was give us a $5 discount. We still ended up paying $25 for something I wouldn't feed to a dog.
It's not like the place was busy either, there was only 2 other couples in there at the time so I don't understand how they could have messed up so bad.
If you want a great place to eat, walk across the street to Cafe Soleil. I initially avoided it like the plague because it doesn't look that inviting from the outside but wow! This place has it all, very chill atmosphere, a funny and attentive owner whom waits on the tables, cheap affordable pricing, and awesome food. They haven't once ever messed up, it has become our new favorite breakfast...
Read moreHaven’t been to the Bo in years but wanted to treat my stepdaughter visiting from out of town. The 3 of us (me, her and her dad) arrived at 11 am and added our name to the wait list. We spent some time walking and driving around and returned an hour later when our table was ready. We ordered two cappuccinos and an iced tea which took 20 minutes to come to the table, at which time we ordered our breakfast. Our food took another 40 minutes to arrive and our server ignored us the whole time (no check ins, apologies for the kitchen being slow, asking if he could get us anything else). By the time our food arrived we were famished and I was disappointed with the tomatoes basil on toast, as it was literally a piece of sourdough with 3 slices of tomato on top and a sprig of basil for $9. No check in to see if we were enjoying our meals. Forgotten cutlery. When we asked for the bill it was $86 and our server said “is this ok?” And I replied well the service was lacklustre at best and we are Disappointed. He said “oh. Well I can go talk to my manager” at which time my husband said just forget it, we’ll pay and get out of here. It was disappointing, the food is extremely overpriced for what you get and not at all how I remember. $86 for 3 breakfasts. I’m not the type to usually leave a review but that’s 2.5 hours of my life I’ll...
Read moreI am a local in Kelowna who has been here once before and had a great experience with service and the food was amazing. We decided to come a second time and wow, what a different experience. Service started out good and then went very downhill. We had ordered the oatmeal pancakes (which are always amazing) and also the black stone benny. I had ordered my benny poached medium-medium hard and when I got it, it was clearly poached very soft. So I asked our server Jude to get it remade and he took my plate away. When I got my new benny, Jude put it down and said “sorry for it still being soft, the kitchen is just busy” (and he also brought back my first plate of food to the table with the new plate). My main reason for asking for a new benny was because I didn’t want it soft poached yet got a soft poached egg twice. I then said I wasn’t going to eat it and he cleared everything away. Without asking if we needed anything else, he brought us our bill, didn’t take off the benny (which I hadn’t eaten) and then we asked him if it was going to be taken off. He then went back to the front and took off the benny and as we thanked him for doing that, he didn’t speak to us and seemed to be angered by the fact that we asked for the food to be taken off when we didn’t eat it. Overall, wasn’t too happy with how Jude was...
