"We came to your restuarnt 8 years ago for a very special night, the night then was delightful, food was exceptional and the atmosphere was pleasant.
This time, the place looks old and run down, needs a face lift, still the same look from 8 years ago, I ordered the steak, it was dry and not cooked properly, not sure what happened but you have lost that edge, could be you are focusing on the camping crowds and not focusing on the locals any more. Your staff are very good and pleasant, polite and on the ball.
Could not say I would recomend your place, people asked how I enjoyed it and could not really give the answer they were expecting.
Thanks
Daryl Ryan"

"Finally stopped by, and so impressed not only by the delicious food, my salmon and his pasta, but even more so by the service! Relaxed, helpful, knowledgable, something that is a precious find. We liked the charming patio, but by the end of the night moved inside to finish desert because of the Mosquitos. We can't wait to be back."

"Very upbeat and attentive. Took my elderly Mom for her birthday and it happened to be Jazz night with 2 lovely ladies entertaining and reaching out to the patrons for requests and bits of teasing. Well enjoyed by my Mom, and all. The food was excellent, we were well looked after by our server and the atmosphere was warm and fun."

"Good food, nice atmosphere. Service was great - server was friendly. Husband has pork roast, really enjoyed it. I had lobster pasta, very good, nice and light, not the heavy cream sauce type. Our dinner guests also had the lobster pasta and said it was good, not great. Would definitely eat there again. The tables were fairly close together although they did try and give you some privacy by putting plants between some of the tables."

"Food was only okay. Seafood was overcooked - sent back and was overcooked again although not as badly. It was a noisy place to dine and not much room between other diners. Service was good."

"We heard about this place from friends & decided to try it out for our anniversary. I went with pasta in mind but decided to try the duck w/mushroom risotto & it was amazing! My husband had Greek Ribs & they were delicious too! For dessert we had Chocolate Mousse. Amazing again! We will definitely be telling our friends & family about this place! Small, dark & cozy with plants, lights & music - Very romantic. Excellent service too. Can't wait to go back & try the pasta!"

"My husband and I went on one of our first dates to Ricardo's and loved it! We had our wedding reception there in August and it was perfect - from the outstanding service to the food and atmosphere. Last week we went for my husband's birthday and again it was nothing short of outstanding. We will be back soon!"

"I had heard a lot of good things about Ricardo's so I was expecting to be impressed but the food and the service exceeded my expectations. I hope we can be back one of these days. It might be the best dining experience that we have had since moving to the Okanagan."

"We all (4) very much enjoyed the Easter Sunday dinner special. The menu suited all our needs- lots of ham for the meat lovers, excellent salad for the Caesar lovers and special commendations on the dessert selection. It catered to the chocolate fans and the lemon pie was fantastic for yours truly , the lactose intolerant one, who usually has few or no choices on most menus. I would come back just for the lemon pie if you had it on your regular menu. Bravo to all the staff for a job well done on a busy night! We will certainly drive out to dine again soon."

"Win/win; fundraising evening dinner with part proceeds going to the Young chef students to attend a National culinary event. Food was fantastic and wine list expansive and includes a few hard to find wines. Menu courses were 3 each of appetizer, main course and desert. Our table of 4 enjoyed all of our selections. Wort the drive for us coming from West Kelowna ."

"We were quite happy with our experience except for the lobster pasta. This is the second time we have ordered this meal and it is too bad real lobster could not be used instead of cray fish. This is one of their signature dinners and I think it could be stepped up a notch."

"I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving an incredible plate of food. I am both picky and a foodie and everything I have had so far has been an eating experience to remember. The bar tender at this restaurant is one of the best I have seen. He is picky, precise and makes very tasty concoctions. Some of the best martinis I have ever had...such a fine touch. I can't wait to bring my mom here. She loves her good food and we are taking her here Thursday night for dinner to experience the live jazz night. Can't wait!!"

"We had an exquisite time...to me, sitting in Ricardo's on a Thursday night was like finding the perfect Meditteranean restaurant on a side-street in New York City or Paris or Chicago...you walk into it...it's buzzing with excitement...the food is outstanding...there's a fine jazz trio playing in the background...everyone is excited, including the staff...truly first-class...thanks.."

"enjoyed our first visit to the restaurant, was grateful for the Gluten free pasta dish as it was very well done. We don't eat ribs at home as they are fussy to make and the dry ribs my husband had were perfect. Excellent food."

"We were an hour early for our reservation on a Saturday night because Air Canada was early and to our delight, were seated at the bar for just a short time before a table became open. Lobster pasta was the evening special and although it was wonderfully cooked, we would of preferred a bit more sauce. The lighting and ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner! Service was excellent and server was always walking past keeping an eye out on us. She removed our finished plates promptly which I always appreciate! This was our third visit and look forward to our next."

Embiance is wonderful with all of the twinkle lights set up!"

"Excellent restaurant came recommended to us by fellow workers. Although my blackened Prime Rib was a little undercooked my wifes meal was excellent. It is tough to cook Prime Rib and now that I know how it is cooked at this location I will adjust how I order the meal. No worries at all
great service, wonderful atmosphere, we will return!!!!!"
