Thank you, King Taps for making my birthday visit so delicious and memorable. Our daughter bought be a gift card because she knew we were staying close by. We had forgotten that my birthday falls on a long holiday weekend and didn’t expect so many people on a Sunday evening. However, the front desk staff were very nice and accommodating and seated us fairly quickly. Our server was friendly and attentive but the real star, of course, was the food — steak for the two of us. That included a fabulous dessert (let’s just say I was on Cloud Nine). But, most of the menu looked appealing and something I’d like to have. All in all, it was a wonderful meal and we will be back!

Best Pizza and Patio in Kelowna!!! Love the atmosphere and the service is always excellent. We take our out of town guests to King Taps and it is always a hit. The staff are great and the Manager is always friendly and engaging with the guests. Can’t wait to visit again!

Finally got a chance to eat here on a busy Saturday night in September!! The weather was amazing and we sat at a table we reserved online very easily. Raven G. our server was very attentive and sweet and knew all about the dishes when we asked her about them and service was really quick. The King hamburger was one of the best I've ever had. Perfect combination of crispy bacon and melted cheese and the bun was super fresh and the meat patty was a nice thickness and tasted right off the grill. Was fantastic 😋. I opted for the kale salad on the side. It was a bit smaller than I expected but with maybe a little bit too much dressing but tasty overall. My husband's beef dip, which I took a bite of was also very delicious with a nice big bowl of au jus for dipping with chunks of onion...! Crispy thin fries as well which is the way I like them. Can't wait to come back and try some more items on the menu. The place is very lively with beautiful views of Okanagan Lake. Nice decor, very open area. There's also a rooftop area.

We showed up Saturday night right during their rush and they had no issues with getting us a spot on the patio with an incredible view. Zach our server was entertaining and suggested the pizza, I was apprehensive but after seeing another one come out I went for it. It was some of the best pizza I have had, super thin base with a thick and crispy crust, good cheese and your regular pepperoni but all in all super good and tasty. Zach and the other servers were awesome and made for a fantastic evening. Thank you!

Nice restaurant with amazing views. Waitress was nice but she’s really busy. Took about 30 minutes from time of sitting down for her to have time to come take food orders. Food portion is fine but don’t taste very good in general. We had calamari, Korean chicken, chicken tenders, chicken tacos, kona pizza and salmon dish. They are all okay, but none stood out.

A great place! I have been here a handful of time. This time we came for a bachelorette dinner! We reserved a table for 10 and were seated quickly. Our server, Devon, was lovely.

While the view and atmosphere set the stage, the food truly steals the show. The menu is a celebration of local, seasonal ingredients, expertly crafted into dishes that are as visually appealing as they are delicious. We enjoyed a delicious brunch pictures attached. Zach was our server and did a fantastic job!

We were in last night, Lauren was our server and she was fantastic. I had the Kona pizza, which was amazing. My husband had a burger, also very good. A nice casual dinner, we ll be back.

Its my birthday and we made a reservation for 4 people. Everything is perfect as always. I paid almost $200 with a tip and as we were about to leave the server came to our table and made a big scene about not tipping anymore. Do you not pay your staff minimum wage or she is the only one do this thing always to get more tip. Really disappointed with her, at least try not to ruin someone s special day

It was our first time, and we didnt know what to expect. We were seated upstairs, which had a great cozy vibe. Our waitress was so patient with us as we moved tables. She was prompt, friendly and down to earth. The food was so tasty. I had the steak with smashed potatoes, amazing!! The kale veggies were good too. My husband enjoyed a variety of appies, all very tasty he said. (the presentation looked tempting - Im gf so couldnt indulge) Oh which reminds me of the care the waitress took to make sure that what I ordered wouldnt have gluten, so kind of her. Our whole evening was absolutely lovely and just what we needed. Thanks for making it a great memory. We will see you again.

The facility and location is nice. We had a large team dinner there and took over the upstairs space. We had to preorder our food for the kids which was fine. But it still took 1.5 hours before kids got their food. So we planned made the reservation and pre ordered and it still took 1.5 hours sitting and waiting for our food.

Pizza was very good & so were the tacos . Fries have too much truffle but that s just me . Prices are pretty reasonable . Not sure if our server was having a rough day but she was horrible .

We had a party of 8. Initially they had us spread out over two booths. When asked about a larger table, which was requested at time of reservation the hostess made a big deal about it. After 15 minutes they were able to accommodate us upstairs at two small tables. Asked for a third and she said the rest were reserved. After she got approval the third table was added. Now the wait. 15 min before waitress showed up to get drink order. 15 min for drinks to arrive. 10 more before she came back to order. 1hr 5 min before food showed up. All the orders were good except the one steak order was very over done. (Waitress did remove from bill). The replacement steak took 35 min to show up, but was cooked according to request. Waitress barely came back around to refill drinks and did not have a great attitude. For the price I expect better service. Interesting note to add is that the guy who ordered the steak was very sick for about an hour after he ate it. Draw your own conclusion to the professional nature of the cooking staff.

We went to King Taps on a busy Saturday afternoon. The location was very nice and the restaurant was well staffed and organized. With a small wait we were seated. Note that groups above 6, they don t have tables that push together and you will be at separate tables. Not a deal breaker but wasn t ideal. Our server was very happy and engaged and made sure to double check our orders after typing them into her iPad. The wait wasn t too long and she was attentive at getting our drink refills without being disruptive. My wife ordered a custom salad and veggies with mustard due to a dietary issue and she didn t get what she ordered and the waitress didn t make it right. The other orders were really good and the desserts were amazing. Washrooms were top notch, clean, but had over flowing garbages because it was so busy. Prices were high, but expected at this location and Kelowna in general. I would come back for sure as there were more pluses than minuses. Parking is very limited, so drive down the street to the event Center and walk back. Dietary restrictions: They had trouble making a custom salad. I d be very cautious

Really disappointing experience here today. Ordered two beers and when my partner picked hers up, her glass completely split apart from the base to the shaft, spilling beer all over her and the table. Servers gave us napkins and one came by to mop under the table, knocking the table several times and spilling my beer a bit too. An apology was given about the broken glass but no comp or discount on the beer offered or anything. Food was great but just really let down by the lack of basic acknowledgement that my partners clothes were soaked in beer..

I hate to leave this place a bad review because their servers are great and just doing their job. However some stuff here at an upper management level is quite questionable. They have unnecessary charges, it costs 2.50 to lettuce wrap when all nearby restaurants charge $0. It s the small things. This is not the first time I ve been here and someone in my group left unhappy due to weird charges other restaurants dont have like cactus or joey.

We were celebrating our anniversary and had reserved a patio table with a note included at King Taps. When we arrived, a server led us to a table, but we asked to be seated at one with a water view. Although there were two tables available, we were asked to wait while one was cleaned. During our 15-minute wait, two other servers approached us to see if we had been helped, and we explained that we were waiting for the initial server to clean the table, which appeared to be already clean. Feeling a bit frustrated, we moved to the table ourselves and asked passing servers for assistance. Finally, a server came by, introduced herself as our server, and brought us water. She took our order but soon had to attend to another table, saying her colleague would assist us. When her colleague arrived, we requested to speak with the manager about the service issues. The manager came over and without listening to us first explained that there had been a communication lapse among the team. This experience with the service and management led us to leave the restaurant, deciding not to return to King Taps forever.

Great, friendly people there to serve and make you feel welcomed. The location couldn t be better right along the waterfront with all the walls wide open to let the sunshine and breeze in. However when it comes to the $49 ribeye I was very much disappointed. My 12 oz steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare but it was barely 1/4 inch thick and not very juicy and missing some seasoning. Certainly was not worth the high cost. I m sure if you ordered something else to eat you will enjoy your visit more.

**Disappointed with Dog Policy** I recently visited King Tap and was disappointed with their pet policy. While they allow service dogs on the side patio, they dont permit other dogs, which feels quite exclusionary. Many of us consider our pets part of the family, and it would be nice if they could join us for a meal outside. I understand the need for certain rules, but an outdoor patio seems like an ideal place to welcome all well-behaved dogs. Unfortunately, this policy has left me feeling less enthusiastic about returning. I hope they reconsider and become more pet-friendly in the future.

We sat up on the rooftop patio/terrace which was beautiful! Quieter than downstairs and the view was amazing, plus they have shade cloths, umbrellas and water misters to keep you cool in the summer heat! I have celiac disease and our server Slade was extremely helpful and transparent in ensuring I could choose a safe meal. I had the peri peri chicken with mashed potatoes and brocollini which was absolutely delicious! I also had the hippie juice and I am very happy to say I did not get sick or any cross contamination. Id like to sincerely thank Slade and the chefs for taking the time to accommodate me and allow me to have a delicious and safe meal. I would definitely come back again Dietary restrictions: The staff have access to a cheat sheet that helps them to see what common allergens are in the meals, and allows them to make reccomendations on what to leave out of dishes to accommodate your dietetry restrictions.

Food was great. The staff however took forever to bring our food and we nearly had to wait 15 minutes in the end to just get our bill and pay. We then got up to go to the front and pay and thats when they brought out the bill.

Very nice experience at King Taps. For starters the service was great. I wish I could remember our servers name (Mikay maybe?) but she was phenomenal! We ordered a GF pizza and some apps and everything tasted great. It was hands down the best GF crust Ive had on a pizza ever - better than anywhere in Toronto. The atmosphere is very pleasant by the water and its a chill environment in the restaurant. Would definitely go back next time we are in Kelowna!

Overall very accommodating, food is ok, not as good as Cactus or Joey s. Outdoor seating on top floor was ok, no real airflow. Second floor seating is not nice. Looks like a cafeteria. First floor is nice & vibe is great. Staff were generally nice. My main issue: Didn t have the wine we wanted so we switched to margaritas. Upstairs bar was backed up and margaritas came quite late. Watched others get their drinks, but ours came 20-25 minutes after we ordered & only after I called it out. The bill was another huge issue. Server brought us a wine to taste as they didn t have the one we wanted. We didn t like it. However, the bottle was included on the bill. Normally I would say this was an honest mistake. However, before giving us the bill, our server looked over it stating she wants to make sure everything is correct. We had asked for the margaritas to be taken off & they were. But when we looked at bill, bottle of wine that we didn t end up getting was still on it. When I pointed this out to our server, her response was oh sorry, didn t get a chance to look over the bill . But she did get a chance! She did look. In fact I think she was upset with our table for calling her out on the late margaritas & decided to leave the bottle of wine on our bill hoping we didn t notice

We visiting Kelowna after being absent for 1and 1/2 years and King Taps was the highlight of our nights out. We have never been disappointed. The service was amazing and the Brussels Sprouts were to die for! Follow that up with my favorite pizza in the valley with the Notorious and you have a memorable evening! Thank you to everyone at King Taps for providing an amazing experience for our week in Kelowna!

This was my first time going and I have to say our waitress was absolutely lovely. The Notorious pizza was fantastic as well. But my big complaint and why I gave two stars (which I changed to four after seeing the response and commitment from management to curb the noise levels) was the obnoxiously loud music. It was impossible to hold a conversation. I could maybe sympathize late in the evening but not over lunch. I asked three times for the music to be turned down before finally asking to switch tables.

Pros: - Food and drinks were delicious. - If you book on the patio, some of the seats have a great view. - Waiting area if you have a reservation. - Drinks arrive quickly. Cons; - Hostessing is awful. We had a 6:45pm reservation on the patio. We arrived at 6:35pm. TWO walk-in/no reservation parties were seated on the patio before us, as we waited... they called us at 6:45pm to sit at the last remaining patio seat. As in, its outside, but adjacent to the main door, tucked into the corner of the patio, where 1 person gets no view, and the other can only see the boat launch and sidewalk. The table is 3 from a loud patio speaker. We asked the waitress to see if the hostess could move us to the next available patio table, and she apparently checked- then both refused.

Our waitress Regina was personable and helpful. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious. My chicken sandwich was very moist and juicy with crunchy pickles. It came with a more than adequate amount of fries. My husbands seafood pizza though a bit oily was excellent. The poke bowl looked very good. I had a white sangria that was extremely tasty. My only minor complaint was that it was quite noisy but to be fair it was a packed house. We would definitely return.
