   We wanted to get a dinner in before they close for renovations. See you in Feb 2025! Ribs were delicious and the lemon crème brûlée was so good!! 😊

   Server was efficient, friendly, exceptionally tuned into details, experienced/professional…a definite treat for my husband and I …we’ve been visiting the “LakesideCoast/Resort” for THIRTY THREE years! Sooooooooooo relieved the casino has gone!!!!! Lucky staff to work alongside such a gorgeous view. Coming fm WhiteRock/SouthSurrey, we appreciate the lake and the ocean. PLEASE NOTE: a corner of the the carpet alongside booth towards the washrooms was UP, a tripping hazard to be sure. Continued good business

   We have enjoyed meals at the Hooded Merganser on occasion. On Thanksgiving Sunday we ordered the “Thanksgiving Special”. The meal was served within minutes of ordering which was unusual. Unfortunately it came to the table cold. I assume the meal was already plated in the kitchen and sitting under heat lamps. The meal consisted of an over-generous serving of cold mashed potatoes, a miserly amount of turkey dressing, undercooked vegetables and a generous serving of white turkey meat. Gravy which was served in a cute gravy boat was cold and stiff. Cranberries were served on the side. The complimentary bread was crisp, stiff and undesirable. I have had much better Thanksgiving meals served at community halls by volunteer organizations. Sorry Merganser, not to your standards.

   We were warmly received and taken to a table we’d requested with an early evening view of the lake. Server and other staff were helpful and attentive, food and drink were very good; a good dining experience and evening out.

   Thankyou for the experience. The food was ok, but not very flavorful. The fried fish was quite oily but edible. The pricing we accurate for what we ordered. The service was a bit slow, but we weren't in a hurry, so we didn't need to ask for a hurry up. (The server seemed quite inexperienced) The dining room was comfortable, wasn't overly loud or problematic. Was able to get a reservation easily. This was our first time going there. We may try again when we go back to Penticton.

   Alot of fruit flies,my girl friend took a sip of wine and found a large black fly in her mouth. We told the waiter what happened and he said he had no control over the large amount of flies. Food was ok nice view of lake.
