Disappointing

We have been to this restaurant quite a few times over the years, both in their original previous location as well as the current location. It’s a beautiful restaurant. We’ve always enjoyed the meals we’ve had in the past even though they’ve been expensive. It’s always been worth going for a special occasion. My wife and I went last night... more

Lovely Little Spot

A friend took me to The Eclectic Med for dinner while we were in Vernon on business. Local little spots like this can be hit or miss. This was definitely a hit. The room has high ceilings and feels very spacious. It has tasteful decor and I understand that the owners are Patron to the local arts community. The menu... more

Great steak. - nice atmosphere

Today we had a very good dinner at the Eclectic Med restaurant. It has a friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Worth to go back to!

Consistent

i have only had lunch here - not dinner - but consistent good food and always friendly service. They have a $9 lunch special that is always good. Bottom line - relaxing - friendly - good fresh food.

False Advertizing

We decided to meet for dinner with friends from Vancouver and chose this restaurant because their sign at the entrance proclaimed they served fresh , homemade pasta ! However , when we ordered our dinners made with fresh pasta , the waitress informed us that they no longer make homemade pasta for their meals but for $1.50 extra they will... more

Fine dining includes micro-waved food

The reviews here prompted my partner and I to take a chance on this high-priced restaurant. What a joke! We spent over a hundred dollars for 2 greasy crab cakes, three tough scallops, a few bites of tenderloin lamb that tasted bland, inedible couscous and a wedge of layered potatoes/5 oz of lobster tail, 3 half-filled glasses of white wine.... more

Excellent Pasta

We came in for a business lunch meeting. Unfortunately for the restaurant, there was maybe only 4 tables seated for the entire lunch hour. After eating my excellent meal, I realized the number of guests was not a reflection on the quality of food or service, but rather the depressed Vernon lunch scene. The only thing lacking was a bit... more

Highly recommended

This excellent restaurant offers the vineyard, fine-dining experience without the long drive. In-house knowledge of great wine pairings augment the amazing food in a gorgeous but unpretentious context. Really you must go. Crab cakes and mussels were great. 5-spice duck is very recommendable. Bon ap!

Absolutely delicious food

Just happened to find this place. Walked in and sat down to an amazing restaurant. Very clean. Very calm atmosphere. Very friendly and patient service. Best of all the food was unbelievable.

Classy&Delicious : A pleasant surprise

I was walking down the street looking for a place to eat, I saw these huge signs advertising Steak, Lamb And $10 lobster special and many yummy dinner items. Love the atmosphere its dark n quiet and the service was excellent. I have to say the food was wonderful and I will be coming back. And yes I had the... more

First Visit but not the Last

My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time with members of the family and we were delighted with the experience. Although we have lived in Vernon for over 4 years, we never noticed it even though it is located just across the street from our favourite restaurant in the city. The decor is quite nice and the... more

Excellent food and friendly service - as usual

We've been going to Eclectic Med off and on for 10 years and the food has never disappointed. Andrew and his colleagues work hard in the kitchen to ensure the food is fresh tasty and hot and front of house complement the kitchen.
Coming from the UK it is not an inexpensive night out - particularly given the wines but... more

Excellent menu choices

Being brand new to Vernon, we are still discovering new places to eat. After perusing the menu in the entry, we decided to try the Eclectic Med'. On entering we found a really nice atmosphere. We shared the scallops appetizer - delicious. My husband was not very hungry, and so he just had the Lime & Coconut Curry Cream soup.... more

Never a bad experience

We have been to the Eclectic Med several times and always wonder why more people don't go. The prices are reasonable, the wine list extensive, the service is very professional, the atmosphere is modern and clean. There are great food options and the chef does a great job of presentation and of course everything is YUMMY!

Fantastic Food!! Great Presentation & Taste

We are new to Vernon and chose this restaurant to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. The ambiance was good, the service great and food was amazing. My husband had the mussels in curry cream and it was amazing. My main course was the bison tenderloin and it was divine. Desserts were heavenly. I was very impressed by the food in... more

Do you want a meal that could be featured on the food network

We love Eclectic Med! Unique, high quality dishes made from local ingredients. A bit on the pricier side, but it's quality over quantity. Great wine list featuring numerous Okanagan wines!

Terrible Service

I had come in for dinner on my birthday last night and had the worst service by Sharron I have ever experienced. She never offered us any drinks until we asked her for the drink menu and after we decided we didn't want an alcoholic beverage and gave it back shortly after, she didn't ask if we wanted something else... more

Best kept secret in Vernon

I have lived in Vernon for one year and I am sorry its taken so long to discover Eclectic Med. The ambiance is lovely and the food is fresh and delicious. I can't understand why its not right up there as one of the top restaurants in Vernon. Its definitely worth a visit and we will be back!

Top Notch in Every Way

We travelled from Ontario to spend a ski holiday with family at Silver Star. To celebrate two early January birthdays, we went for dinner at Eclectic Med - based on on-line reviews.
The service was excellent, atmosphere terrific & the food was outstanding. The appetizers were tasty & just the right quantity. Every meal was served to perfection. Even our... more

Great food

My husband and I have tried so many restaurants in Vernon and by far Eclectic Med is tops on our list. My husband ordered Classic Med Chicken ($24.00)and I ordered Pasta Rustica ($17.00). Both were delicious. Kudos to the chef. Locally grown, free run, you can tell its fresh and not reheated. The restaurant is in a great location right... more

Best food in Vernon

I have lived in Vernon for 2 years now and have eaten at most restaurants. This is by far the freshest best tasting food you can get. Nothing frozen and reheated all natural and tasty. It a shame more people don't go here. It seems to be a secret.

The best restaurant in Vernon

Guests from Vancouver as well us Vernonites fojund this gem so refreshing. Vernon does not have a large selection of above average places to eat, This is truly excellent. We have been 3 times in the last month and have reserved it among one of best places to eat in Vernon

Way Way Over priced

My spouse and I were here for a special occasion. This is supposed to be an upscale restaurant but we were not impressed. There were absolutely no other patrons when we were there on a Saturday evening. Does that tell you something about how diners feel about the place? Food quality was okay althoug the quantity was skimpy. Not impressed... more

small but good

located right on the main drag, this is a smallish restaurant, but have always had a good meal here.

Nice surprise in Vernon

Unexpected discovery! Walked in on a Sunday evening and experienced a wonderful meal, from the service to the decor and especially the food, all was perfect. Pasta dishes had the right amount of heat and great flavors. We will definitely recommend to friends.

Great meeting room

We have had meetings here in their back room. They are organized and considerate. Food is good but a bit pricey.

Great service, good food

We have enjoyed the upper open-air patio a few times. Quiet and soothing. The food is good. My one issue is that veggies are an option are thus charged extra.

Needs a change

Good welcome and seating. Menu unchanged for years-limited imagination. Preparation OK. Wine list short but OK.

Very suprised to find such great food in Vernon

We had a wonderful meal at The Eclectic Med and it wasn't too pricey either. I even had desert (which I don't normally) and it was very good, not to big. I would gladly recomend this restaurant to anyone.

Awful

Terrible tasting food very bland steak..over expensive food for very little and bad quality!

Favourite home town restaurant

I travel a lot for work and pleasure and i give a lot of reviews on Trip Advisor. However, i have been remiss in writing about my hometown eateries.
My all-time favourite is the Ecletic Med. The owner is often serving her guests so you get really amazing service. Very personable and quick. The food has always been excellent, it... more

have potential, will try again

Nothing extraordinary, no WoW! factor, but acceptable, nice ambiance and good service did the valance and save the night, definitely I will try again, have potential, may be was just a bad night, deserve second chance

Disappointing family dinner

Went with a large family group to celebrate a birthday. We were the only table in the restaurant and it took nearly 2 hours for us to get our dinner. By the time we got it we were so hungry, we did not care how mediocre it was. When we got our dessert (bread pudding made from fruit cake...ewwwwww) the... more

Fantastic Food, Service and Atmosphere

My husband and I recently moved to Vernon and dined at "The Eclectic Med" after hearing rave reviews from a number of different people we know. We went with high expectations and were not disappointed.
We have travelled extensively and agreed that this restaurant would hold it's own in any big city.
The decor was tasteful and inviting and the... more

Our Favorite Vernon Restaurant

My husband and I have visited this restaurant every May long weekend since 2006 and this is our Vernon favorite restaurant. The restaurant (as for the others we have visited) have never been too busy on this weekend so perhaps we have seen the restaurant at its best. The risotto is a must - truly unique and delicious. The atmosphere... more

Superb well-priced food and sophisticated, comfortable ambiance

Always a warm welcome and prompt service. House greens salad is delicious. Salmon dinner with scalloped potatoes is my favourite. After dinner mints for those who don't want dessert hit the sweet spot.
Quiet friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Lovely selection of wines.

The best fine dining in Vernon

A Poor Attempt at fine Cuidine

I ordered a stuffed chicken breast. Somehow my chicken breast had a chicken leg attached - a poorer cut of meat than in the menu. My friend's lamb was supposed to have Moroccan spices, but the meat was bland - although she said it tasted fine. If the restaurant was full (There were only 2 other couples) the music volume... more

Terrilbe service, surly and rude restaurant owners did not make it a pleasant experiance!!

Too expensive for mediocre Food and atmosphere

Very expensive. Service was not okay but when the entrees came our server was nowhere to be found. Very loud open space with no privacy. "I miss the old Eclectic Med".

You pay a LOT of money for an average sized portion of food that while good, isn't great
