Intermezzo Restaurant and Wine Cellar

I have a bit of a mixed review. I ordered the rack of lamb and my husband had the a steak. The meat was cooked well in both dishes but I noticed that everyone got the same heap of mixed roast potatoes and a few vegetables on the side, or in this case, underneath. The rack of lamb was advertised as having the special Moroccan spice (a whole paragraph written about it on the menu) but I could barely tasted it (I have lived in Morocco) and the portion was very small. I would also have expected that they would individualize the dishes to reflect the main ingredient The roast vegetables did not really go with the Moroccan main. Maybe something to carry out the theme of the main dish like eggplant and rice or couscous. I would expect this from this type of restaurant instead of the one size fits all approach. I also ordered a pre dinner drink made with whipped egg white and amaretto. The amaretto flavour was very strong and sickly tasting. It just overpowered the whole drink. The service was pretty good. We were at their new location at the Castle Hotel.

Excellent restaurant ?!! Food was delicious, classic and fresh ingredients. The ambiance was very nice, I loved the decor with bottles of wines everywhere ?. Our server was very friendly and always checking ? but not pushing.. you can tell this restaurant is manage with care and love. Really nice option if you want to have a really good dinner in Vernon!! We are definitely coming back!

Food was good. Servers were nice. We did however, wait an hour and 45 minutes for our meal.

Food was perfect and the service was excellent! It was our anniversary and they put up a little sign on our table saying “Happy Anniversary” which was a thoughtful touch. We ordered the Cajun prawns to start, I had the halibut and my partner had the ribeye with Oscar topping. Everything was cooked perfectly! It is such a sin to overcook seafood, and they didn’t do that at all. We will be back!

We drove from Kelowna to eat dinner here. It was amazing. I had the saffron prawns with linguine and my spouse had the steak with Gorgonzola butter. Best steak ever! We were celebrating our 9 year anniversary and his birthday and we had to signs on the table for them. Such a thoughtful touch. Staff was amazing never felt rushed out. Will definitely be back!!

Food was amazing but without good service it will ruin the experience, glad to say this was not the case with my experience! Server (sry I don't remember you name ?) which I happen to know as I make her coffee was amazing, super friendly, attentive and willing to help with questions. Definitely will come again!

I wish I could give more stars based on how lovely the hostess (I would guess she was the owner) was! When we made the reservation, the restaurant had asked us if it was a special occasion, and we had mentioned that we were staying at Sparkling Hills resort. The hostess took great care to mention that detail when she greeted us— nice personal touch. Ambiance of the interior was very dim— it would have been impossible to spot hair in my food. Jokes aside, it was perfectly average…nothing really caught my eye or made a memorable impression. On to the food. When our Mediterranean Mussels & Prawns arrived piping hot to our table in a pot, I was most excited. I could have done without the cream in the sauce— both sauce options had cream, so I chose the option that appeared to have less cream. Great flavours, however, by the time we got to the bottom of the pot, I could feel the heaviness of the cream settling in. The honey goat cheese salad was everything it promised to be! Sweet, tangy and crunchy pecans! Delightful. My dinner date and I shared everything— we split the carribean halibut for our entree, when it finally managed to make its way to the table. I would guess the wait between appetizers and entree to be 30 Minutes from the time our main was fired and arrived to our table. Plating looked promising and I was excited to dive in. Fish was nicely cooked, but lacked seasoning. The proportion of risotto was very generous— I would say too generous given the rich nature of the dish. Flavour of the risotto was nice, but the heaviness of it sat like a ton of bricks in my stomach and really left me with no memory of the fish. Unfortunately the slow down in service towards the latter half of our meal meant it cut into our spa time. May have to come back just for appies & wine on a sunny day. Maybe it was on an off night, but I am only basing my rating on the experience I had.

We would love to give 6 stars if possible. Oh my God what a lovely evening. Service from all the staff was incredible, especially Sascha.. What a delight, fun, outgoing, knowledgeable and super fun. But let’s talk about food! Wow, we were a party of 8 and we were all blown away by the quality of the food. Every single item was cooked to perfection, super tasty and on point. We all enjoyed ourselves so much and we will be back for sure for more deliciousness and of course the lovely ambiance.
