Our group of four were met with a very friendly staff. Leah, our server brought us to a large table, but we requested a smaller one near a corner before we sat down. No problem to move. The atmosphere was nice and the newly completed renovations really open things up. We took our time ordering without being “pushed” even though it was busy. The appetizers, entrees, and wine were top shelf. The service was efficient and friendly, even the Manager visited us to see how we were doing. We had a great time and would definitely recommend to all!

The Hooded Merganser has just reopened after several months of renovations. Beautifully done. New Chef New Menu. We had a wonderful dinner last night with our good friends. All 4 of us loved the food. Leah our server was fantastic, and we were happy that the Manager stopped by for a visit. The new menu is a Mediterranean based.

Beautiful outdoor patio and no reservation required when we came for appy hour between 3-5. Cocktails are delicious and the view is top notch. Calamari, meatballs and olive tapenade were delicious. The meatballs could of been hotter temperature but I let it slide because taste was fantastic.

My husband and I are visiting from out of town and thought we would stop by for a bite to eat, some wine and enjoy the view. We had such an amazing experience. We were met by smiling faces, Hannah’s sense of humour and attentive service, and some amazing food! Hannah recommended the goat cheese dip which was to die for, and she recommended we followed up with lamb chops and the halibut- couldn’t have asked for a better dinner! Compliments to the chef and the staff for making this an unforgettable way to finish off our Okanagan experience!

It is a wonderful experience eating here, lovely restaurant on the lake, gorgeous views like land’s end and even more delicious food Our server Isabella was very polite and lively! We ordered spinach and artichoke dip, chicken sandwich and fish&chips, all dishes came freshly prepared and with huge servings. We are so glad we chose this place to have dinner, on our two day trip to Penticton. Till next visit..

When we went for stroll along the Lakeshore, we realized we were hungry. We Googled for nearby options and happily selected this restaurant. It offered a great view of the lake, the atmosphere is nice and the service was good. The food was great too. I would say it was a much better choice than the hotel restaurant, which was very loud and bar like.

The new and improved Hooded Merganser is open and waiting to fulfill your fine dining needs. Arguably the best restaurant location in the Okanagan, offering stunning views from every table, this unique establishment has been helping locals and visitors alike in making fond memories. Whether you're on your own and seeking a classic cocktail at the newly refurbished bar, or perhaps you are a couple celebrating a special day in one of several cozy booths, the Merganser has something for everyone. The menu has been refreshed and the staff is invigorated, seeking to provide each patron with their own special experience. Prices are decent and the food is great. The ambiance is exactly what you've been looking for. I very much look forward to our next visit to the Merganser where the friendly staff never let us down and we always leave feeling satisfied.

Beautiful location and view from all seating areas. Delicious well prepared food from a nicely varied menu. Outstanding service from our friendly, knowledgeable server Alexa. Made my wife's birthday a memorable experience.
