The Hooded Merganser was designed to provide guests with a lakeside experience like no other. Vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows have made us the place to be during storm watching season. The outdoor patio is incredible during the warmer months. The menu features delicious Mediterranean dishes to perfection in the open kitchen. Enjoy the superb selection of hard-to-find Okanagan wines from our cellars. Tie up your boat at the marina and come in for a truly enjoyable time.

There are far too many tables for the available space and the lack of any sound absorption in the ceiling area together with the unnecessary background music all make for an unacceptably high volume of noise, totally spoiling the ambience. Our waiter had to lean in to hear. This is the hotel’s main dining room and it comes off somewhere between a cafeteria and a factory hunch room. You can do better.

We had high expectations for this restaurant but the service was disappointing and disorganized. We ordered an appetizer but it never arrived until after our main meal was brought to the table.
And the main meals that we ordered were not even served hot, just like warm.
It's a pity that the food and service are not as elevated as the gorgeous setting of the Restaurant!
