We went early for a quieter atmosphere but as soon as dinner was done a large party was seated right next to us and we could no longer hear each other. Not sure what can be done about that. 🤷‍♀️ I had Calamari and it was delicious 😋 Service was excellent as well. I'd recommend!

Entrees were very tasty and well-portioned. Our server was very friendly and efficient. The music and ambiance were lovely. 5 stars for everything but the decor. We found it to be a bit dated and kitschy. The dolphin mural and the family photos everywhere took away from the level of class you’d expect in an establishment of that level/cost.

the food was amazing! and the server we had was awesome. only complaint is i did come back with raw salmon. half of it was cooked nice, very tasty. half way through i noticed it started to be raw and cold. the server handled it well, and was generous enough to take it off the tab. i was pleased with how it was handled. it wasn’t much of a fuss at all, and i enjoyed everything else! just make sure to note that you’d like your salmon cooked fully and that they pay attention more to it. :)

Food was exceptional. I cleaned my plate to the last grain of rice. BUT.... Friday evenings. Is this normal? The interior of the restaurant requires sound deadening materials on the ceiling and walls. Wow! CRAZY noisy! I look around and see the clientele is 80% over 50, so many of us are verging on hearing issues. Please! Consider your clients and help reduce the painful noise level. We had problems hearing your servers....

The food was flavourful, the service was excellent as our server Jessica came back to the table multiple times, and the atmosphere was great inside. The Sangria was also good. Had a good time catching up with friends and even stayed for dessert. Recommend if you enjoy Italian/Greek cuisine.

Excellent food in a very cozy location. We had food here during the first night of our stay in Penticton, and it was absolutely incredible. From appetizers to dessert, everything we had was delicious. Very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of good. The service was equally incredible, and Nikita treated us great during our dinner here. Will definitely be back and I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re into Greek/Italian food.

We ate at La Casa last night to celebrate my birthday. I ordered lamb lemonado. I cut into the lamb and I hit bone that was covered with a layer of fat, I peeled off the fat and it looked like vertebra with very little meat. I ate thee meat and the fat as my hunger over came me. I have had lamb at La Casa several times before and it was excellent but last nights lamb was not acceptable. I should have complained last night but I didnt want to ruin a festive occasion but if this is what you serve now, I will be dining at another establishment.

Ive been to Greece and this by far the closest Ive seen to eating there in North America. Food was amazing (lamb and fried calamari were amazing), service was top notch with staff being very knowledgeable about the food, and the atmosphere was just right.

The four of us who dined at LaCasa Ouzeria last evening were extremely pleased with our service, our food and the overall experience. Delicious dolmathes, outstanding mousaka, scrumptious lamb chops, tender and perfectly seasoned beef souvlaki and more, all presented with the utmost style by our fabulous server Brooke. We will most certainly be returning frequently.

Quite a deception sadly as we had high expectations after reading some reviews. Got the lamb souvlaki, which wasnt great, not tender. Same for half of potatoes kinda rubbery, but rice and carrots were excellent. My wife had ribs that were average and the same concern about her potatoes. We didnt try any dessert, not being sure of it. Service was great, no complaints there.

July 22, 2024

I recently had a disappointing dining experience at Ouzeria in Penticton. Despite making a reservation, my party and I had to wait for an hour and a half for service to even begin. To make matters worse, when our appetizers finally arrived, only half of our order was brought to the table. Throughout the entire meal, there was no service on drinks . Frustrated with the lack of attention and poor service, we decided to leave before our entrees even arrived. We paid our bill and explained to the staff how dissatisfied we were with the entire experience. Overall, the service at Ouzeria was incredibly slow and unprofessional. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience in Penticton.

July 22, 2024

Do NOT dine in on Wednesday evenings! They have a weekly special on, and are way too busy for the kitchen and staff to handle. I had made a reservation for 6 pm, but we stood in the doorway for 25 minutes before we were seated. Once seated, we ordered 2 appetizers and 6 entrees. The 1 appetizer arrived over an hour later (at 7:30), at which point we were ready to leave. The second appy never arrived. When we said this to the server, she said it has NOT been over an hour and later threw a serving tray in frustration. We ended up leaving without dinner, they refused to comp our 1 tea and 1 appetizer, and the apparent floor manager laughed and made a joke at us on the way out. Overall, a very unprofessional, understaffed, and rude establishment!

We both had the Garlic Prawn dinner with the Ek Mek for dessert. DELICIOUS. Prawns were cooked to perfection and the butter sauce was perfect. Even the Greek potato was PERFECT. Im quite often disappointed with the potato at most Greek restaurants finding it too dry and often find myself eating it just as filler. This was not at all the case here. I quite enjoyed it. And the dessert... wow.. Im NOT a fan of coconut. Neither of us are but this dessert was topnotch! Highly recommend! so good I forgot to take a photo ha! Also, the service was very upbeat and personable. Nice ambiance and decor too

Sangria is the keyword my wife and I entered into Google Maps for our final dinner on this trip in Penticton. It came up with several mentions one of them being La Casa Ouzeria, which we decided to try out because we never had is past visits. We werent disappointed. Entering into a cool, tastefully designed decor with many potted plants, we were shown to a table and given an attentive and friendly server who readily accommodated our requests. My wife and I both chose the Lamb Lemonata which was simply superb, and handsomely portioned, too. Strictly speaking, it should have been paired with a full-bodied red, but since we had set our hearts on a Sangria, we got a full pitcher of that and that, too, was excellent. No room for dessert. All in all, one of our best meals ever in Penticton. Highly recommended.

Extremely unhappy with meal and particularly Service. While meal portions are always large and well prepared 3 out of 5 dishes were simply warm. Service was not very interactive, some initial confusion in serving food to right table and waitress had to be reminded that we may like dessert despite her urgency to prepare the bill. I think Zias in Summerland is far better for fine dining in the area.

Wonderful food and great service. Great restaurant for anyone with celiac disease and need to eat gluten free. Every time I have eaten here I have never been sick afterwards. The staff has always been knowledgeable and will tell you what you can and cannot have off the menu. They do have to inform you that there is a chance for cross contamination but they always do their best to avoid any gluten getting on your food. It s a fantastic place for if you have celiac disease or not! Would highly recommend! Dietary restrictions: Celiac disease friendly!

This place was the pinnacle of Greek food I have had in over a decade. The moment we walked in we were greeted pleasantly by the front of house. After we sat our server kindly greeted us within a minute as she was entering previous tables orders letting us know shed be by briefly. (Acknowledgment is key in service industry) She came took down our entire order as we were ready quite quickly. Properly has our bottle of wine opened table side and sampled. Professional but very warm as a person. (I think her name was Jessica) The dinner From the thin layer of batter on the calamari to the aggressive seasoning on the moussaka it was divine. We shared a lot of our food amongst the 6 of us and everything we ordered was top notch. The slow roasted lamb was meaty but ate like smooth butter. The meze platter I would also highly recommend at a table for people looking for a true sample of the balance theyve managed with falvors. Clean good food for dinner and then we ordered dessert. Creme Caramella has my heart. I have never known a custard to be as refreshing yet comforting. The mixture and balance with the orange and brandy was incredible. Finally the Tiramisu was the best I have ever had. Typically from the home cook to restaurants the balance of liqour is so off in Tiramsiu. This was succulent and delicious. I honestly wasnt going to write a review as I am on vacation but I felt compelled. (Hence the lack of pictures) La Casa Ouzeria is a must go for anyone looking for an amazing meal without pretentiousness but with a appropriate level of class and presentation. Outside of a few minor decor preferences pretty much a perfect dinner with a full party of 6. PS. Bonus thought, the Sikotakia is fried chicken liver. Dont be scared if you love liver or other oddities it was incredible. (Much better than your mom made it) Vegetarian options: Everything vegetarian is clearly labeled and well made. No expense spared in making food vegetarian dishes. Parking: Decent sized parking plus lots of options on adjacent streets. Kid-friendliness: Pretty open concept so easy access for large family and the openness is very homey.

Theres nothing worse for people to bite into their dish to discover nutmeg or some other commonly antagonistic ingredient. If youre heavy with any of these spices, declare it; your customers will appreciate it.

Ordered steak dinner, moussaka and lasagna for take out. The steak managed to get home the perfect medium rare as requested. My moussaka was delicious and enough of a serving with the Greek salad for dinner the following day. What can I say about the lasagna? It was good and a huge portion size. My meat- eating husband would have enjoyed the lasagna more if Id ordered additional meatballs added to it. The three of us enjoyed our meal and good value. Ive eaten at La Casa Ouzeria a good many times since they opened the other end of town years ago and never been disappointed. My contact with staff was limited to a telephone order and going in to pick up my food but staff was friendly. You folks are doing something right. Nobody complains about their meal after eating there.

Just left this place and will not be back. I know good Greek food and this is not it. It breaks my heart to see bastardized version of the best Mediterranean food can offer. You better buy a shawarma from a street corner

The food was incredible. Lamb souvlaki was tender and perfectly seasoned and the side vegetables were excellent. Our desserts (ekmek and baklava) were outstanding, the baklava only slightly edging ahead on flavour, probably because it warmed. Would absolutely recommend to everyone.

2022-08-13: Late night dinner for four of us. Excellent tasting food and high quality service. We had Caesar Salad, Calamari, and Saganaki to start and share, then seafood pasta, spanakopita, and lasagna dinners. Drinks to pair with everything available. Make reservations as it gets busy!

Best Lamb shank in Okanagan... tender, not overly fatty or salty. Loved it. The Saganaki was served with Brandy and flames... nice touch. My partner loved the ribs although I thought were a touch dry but thats why I always have lamb . Ambience is cozy and has a great vibe. When its busy dont expect quick service but the quality of food makes up for it so just enjoy your company and drink up.

Very nice space and lighting and atmosphere. Okay. Place to take your family or a date. This place is usually busy on the weekends and evenings so make sure to make a reservation. I really like the candle use and live plans they have in the center of the restaurant. Theyre most popular dishes are the ones with lamb. I tried the half rack of ribs and they did not disappoint. It comes with lemon, potato, vegetables, and the meat is seasoned with Greek seasoning. There is free parking, limited spaces. However, you can park on the street nearby as well.

It was our anniversary dinner tonight and we asked for an outdoor table which they provided as I told several staff we wanted to be outside for our intimate special occasion. The food was great, however halfway through our romantic, dinner a server arrives and removes my empty plate. My wife was halfway through her meal. We expressed our disappointment to our main server stating its culture in Greece and in our own culture (UK) to respect the occasion and allow the couple to finish their meal together before removing plates. My wife then felt rushed, it was poor etiquette and our privacy invaded so my wife stopped eating and we agreed to leave. The server apologised and said that they are trained to remove quickly for elbow room? No consideration for the context of the intimate setting and this is supposed to be a formal restaurant. So we decided to leave and given our poor service paid our full bill then chose not to leave a tip at which point the server lost it with us telling us that she earns less than the minimum wage and she took a 6% loss for our drinks even though we paid full price for them. It was very disturbing to observe her berate us publicly in front of customers over her poor salary as if we are responsible for ensuring she receives the minimum wage. We left having never experienced such an embarrassing outburst over their poor customer service.

Husband and I had booked our 10 year anniversary dinner at another Greek restaurant in town. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and we were told they had given our table away. We decided to leave and go to La Casa Ouzeria. 10/10 service, food & prices. I would recommend La Casa Ouzeria if you want great service and terrific food at an affordable price!

A bit disappointed with this restaurant. We had our anniversary dinner here. My husband ordered the Pescatore dinner and it tasted like chef boyardee. I had a steak that came with potatoes and vegetables. My potatoes had obviously been pre-cooked and microwaved as the edges were hard and rubbery. They offered parmesan that was not freshly grated which is surprising for this type of restaurant. No pre-dinner bread and the calamari we ordered was bland and sprinkled with uncooked white onions. My steak had so much salt on it that it ruined the taste. The ambiance is blah.

This is a very hard review to write. We went on Sept 9 for my birthday (71) made a reservation for 7 pm for 4 of us about a 10 days before! We arrived at around 7 to find out they had no tables available! What is the point of a reservation then? We ended up waiting for about 45 mins before they said they could find a table for us! Yet we saw people leaving but still no table! The front of house staff were not concerned at all that they were keeping us waiting. But wait we did! When we FINALLY got seated we were pleased with our waitress Jodie and also the food was very good but due to the way we were treated at the front - I dont know if I am willing to go back! We didnt even get an apology! An apology or a discount on the bill would have been appropriate in a case like this! But I must say the food was good. And the table service we received was amazing although the rest of the staff didnt hustle at all!.

This Greek/Italian family owned restaurant was 100% on the mark. We loved the whole ambiance, food, service. The Lamb Lemonata ( a lamb shoulder) was perfectly slow cooked, light seasoning ( not over done with loads of butter and too much salt.) Our dessert tiramisu was excellent and was large enough to be shared.
