The Vanilla Pod Restaurant - Penticton

Went there with a large group of friendsHalf of us went because of a Groupon, Half of us went to tag along and paid full price.

We had a birthday dinner reservation at Poplar Grove for two in early October and could not have been more pleased.

Rose made from Malbec and Syrah was goodWe ordered the ahi Tina salad and chick pea salad along with paella which we shared.

Booked an anniversary dinner at this beautiful winery restaurant. Million dollar views but uninteresting menu, long wait for dinner and the final insult, poorly prepared food. I could have cooked most of the menu items at a reasonable price and higher quality. I had dry halibut on a bed of cubed zucchini with soy sauce. The kicker? 34 dollars for 12 dollars of ingredients... poorly done too!Something has gone wrong in this restaurant... maybe the former chef was on holidays or something. Won't go back!

My boyfriend had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant over the Aug long weekend. Went on a Saturday night and were seated on the patio. It was quite warm and smoky but that did not detract from the lovely view and very pretty sunset. I can only imagine how gorgeous it would be on a clear night! Service was impeccable, food was perfectly prepared and delicious. I had the salmon and he had an extremely tasty pasta with poached halibut. Dessert was also very good. A family of deer walked past while we were eating which just added to the ambiance. Prices are fairly high but it was worth it. Would definitely dine here again. We didn't do a wine tasting but the tasting room was cool and spacious and well laid out.
