Intermezzo Castle was my 194th eatery in Vernon on my quest to eat at every eatery in Vernon. Today my parents and I visited this location. My mom ate her first ever filet mignon ever. I ate escargot, bruschetta, rose wine, chocolate decadence, and iced tea for $60 CAD after tax and tip. We came during happy hour from 4pm-5pm. We were the first customers for the day so we were seated at the table by the window with a view of Swan Lake. My parents ate filet mignon, complimentary bread, cheesecake, sorbet, and risotto. Every dish was a home run. I highly recommend this spot. The staff were super friendly. 193 eateries down. 7 eateries left to go in Vernon.
Our Anniversary Dinner celebration at The Castle location of Intermezzo was amazing. Great delicious food served by best waiter ever, Mord . He is definitely exceptional. Thank you for making our date ‘special!’
We had a superb dining experience to celebrate our 55th anniversary at Castle bistro. From the warm welcome to the warm crème brûlée dessert the meal was exceptional. They know how to elevate a special occasion. I especially enjoyed the wild mushroom soup and the pear /candied pecan salad. my husband’s cajun prawns were cooked to perfection. The veal scallopini marsala was exquisite. Our server Mordachai was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The owners obviously take great care in their staffing, menus selection, pricing, and ambiance. Read less
Classy bistro restaurant with great view of Swan lake! Appies were decent and we really liked arctic char as main. It was perfectly done and risotto that came with was delicious. Overall foods were hearty and well seasoned.
Had a great experience here. Food was spot on. Service was friendly with very informed waiters with good suggestions to help you choose to your own tastes. All the food was good, but the pork chop was the best of the lot for us. I wanted to try dessert but was too full. The entry up narrow hall stairs does not present very well. Tables separated by curtains also does not present too well. So overall atmosphere is ok. It is not like the main Intermezzo. Food price is what you expect to have an actual chef make your food. And that is where Intermezzo shines. Such great food. Friend got me to try Escargot Casino... and I really liked it. Safron Risotto, Veal Scallopini, Moroccan Racknof Lamb, Tomahawk Pork Chop
I've been having wonderful meals at the Intermezzo Wine Cellar for many years and when they opened The Bistro I just had to try it too. I am not disappointed. From the moment we walked in the service was wonderful. We were seated in the window with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. To add to the view, snowflakes were falling. Although the menu is not a large as the Intermezzo Wine Cellar there is something wonderful for everyone. I ordered the Ribeye with the scrumptious Dijon roasted potatoes. My starter was Flaming Chorizo with house made mustard dip and yum-yum sauce which I LOVE. I went to two lady friends and we rarely get to enjoy an evening out... this was a perfect. Looking forward to our next evening out.
This. Was. So good. The potatoes and lamb were phenomenal, the atmosphere was Delightful and the views were beautiful. Our service was excellent, the food was tasty, and we got to enjoy our friends birthday in one of the best restaurants in Vernon. Grateful for the experience. Thank you. 🙏💕
Comparing to downtown location UPDATED Food was excellent second time. Our pasta different from downtown intermezzo. Meat ball being the favorite. Unfortunately they were out of many starters, and the med bread ratios were off. Atmosphere is slightly different and cute with a reduced menu. June 23 2022 Visited June 17 2022. Service was fabulous. Burnt lamb, yes we did not complain but it was a special celebration and he didn't want to ruin the small moments we have. Our expectation was from the other location had one of the best he had ever had. I hope my review can change over time. A nice location and beautiful people.
Were out of draft beer or keg tap was broken. Ran out of Filet Mignon on a Saturday night, and ran out of Creme Brulee. New York Strip was very tough.Dont run out of food selection on a Saturday night when you know the restaurant is going to be busy. The waiter was irritating by always saying, what would we.... Right now I wouldnt recommend this place. Sorry Parking: A bit of a walk to the restaurant though
Tonight we had the team out for dinner at The Bistro - what a great experience! Great service and the food was top notch! The atmosphere was comfortable and it was a perfect spot for the team to enjoy some laughs and over a fantastic meal! Highly recommend The Bistro!
Delicious food, great service and classy but casual/cozy atmosphere.
Holy fuk. Lamb rack was to die for. Had a black & white creme brulee for dessert and I had to fight my date for it. Jokes aside I definitely recommend, ambvience was also nice and staff was very pleasant.
This is supposedly the best restaurant in Vernon and is priced accordingly. I find the food to be old fashioned fine dining in the sense that you get a fancy piece of meat, some veggies and some carb on a plate with a bit of effort put into presentationbut no creativity or suprise. It is all decent but nothing special. I have had many better meals for less $.
Fantastic dinner for 11, food was amazing as was the service. We will be back!
Cozy & charming setting. The food was outstanding. Highly recommend for a special occasion or when a taste of Italy is craved.
Great happy hour! Quick service, good food and decent prices! Nice view of the lake too
Great place
Awesome little hidden gem! Will definitely be coming back
food was excellent, finally a nice quiet restaurant
Late afternoon this past Sunday; My husband and I stopped in on our way home from errands in Vernon. Although we did not have a reservation and the Hostess was expecting a full house at 5:00, she was so welcoming, kind and polite. She sat us down and we ordered from the Happy Hour menu, just drinks and 2 appetizers. The Hostess brought our drinks and complementary, warm and wonderful, bread and butter. The Chef (we believe) came out to bring us our appetizers we ordered, with a smile. Although we did not stay for dinner and had no reservation, we were treated so well and left with a wonderful feeling. The restaurant was beautiful and the food and service amazing. We cant wait to go back!
This was a wonderful dining experience! Delectable food, especially the Cajun prawns. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back again soon.
Amazing service, amazing food and great atmosphere!
Was a good dinner with great portions, my only issue was my 12oz steak was almost entirely fatty. I did make a comment and they comped my meal. Will be going back to try again in the future.
Went for supper. I was not impressed with the vegetarian options. I went off menu and had the special, spaghetti minus the meat balls. Although good, it was.. a small portion. Ive been to the one down town and was pleased withe their separate vegetarian/vegan menu. I gave them a five star.
service was great -- thnx camille. food was great all around. we had pear salad, cajun prawns, and prawn linguine. pasta sauce was a little heavy but it is a matter of preference, all the food was very enjoyable nonetheless. the butter + sourdough was wow. would love to return next time Im back in vernon. :)
Great food, great atmosphere!
Its a great place the service was excellent the food was very very delicious
It all looked and tasted like left overs warmed up. Ive had better from M&M
Awesome awesome and awesome. The food, service and view were over the top.
Just as good as the downtown location! Wonderful food and service, lovely ambiance for a couple, some friends, or parents. One of my favourite restaurants in Vernon! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
We cannot say enough about our supper tonight at The Bistro at the Castle. Lucas and his staff were absolutely top notch which matched their food and wine. They went above and beyond. It was a perfect anniversary meal for my wife and I.
The food here was incredible. I ordered the Morocco rack of lamb dish and the creme Brule. Delicious all aroub. Our waiter was very accommodating and attentive, which added to the experience.
Good food and good service.
Cheerful and romantic little restaurant. Definitely smaller than the main restaurant in Vernon, but the smaller menu was still delightful and the atmosphere was cheery yet intimate. Gorgeous view!
Absolutely fantastic!
My wife and I absolutely loved the service, food and atmosphere and recommended it to anyone looking for a great experience. But call ahead for reservations.....
My husband took me here for my birthday dinner and it was amazing! I ordered the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly and incredibly tender! My husband ordered the truffle spaghetti and meatballs and he loved it! Our server was a gentlemen that i unfortunately can t remember the name of but was so sweet! All in all incredible experience and we will be back! Thank you
Great food! Filet Mignon is an absolute must.
The food and the service was fantastic! Thank you!
I have lost track of how many years we have had our staff party at Intermezzo. Last night we had it at the Castle location. Amazing atmosphere, food, and service. Thank you for a great evening and a way to recognize our staff and their families. We were all very impressed.
We can t say enough good about this wonderful restraunt. The ambience, service & food can t be beaten (unless your at Intermezzo downtown!) both locations are top notch yet they each celebrate their own uniqueness. What an amazing evening. Thank- Lucas for always making our evenings so special
Wow...Intermezzo opened at the Castle and what a great atmosphere...so warm and private seating areas and the food was fabulous...will definitely go again. We had a party of six and the service was excellent. We were well taken taken of.
First time visiting the new location. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting and the staff was great. Disappointed to learn they do not offer the vegetarian menu. This definitely limits your options if you are a veggie/vegan. Nonetheless, the food was delicious and I look forward to the next visit.
We had our staff Christmas party and it was great. The quality of food and service was off the charts. We would highly recommend this venue for a meal or your next party.
Good value upscale food. We Liked every piece of our meal, the appy, cocktails, mains, and dessert. Great service too!
Great dinner!!!!! Very friendly staff and super good environment. Enjoyable. Food taste good.
Great food nice view
Very good food, great staff and reasonably priced.
Love it. My only regret is coming here on out last night of 3-night-stays. Had yorkies, shellfishes and beef stroganoff. Every bite was amazing. Great views and amazing staff too.
Good portion size, great taste, good variety
We enjoyed the dinners we ordered. Large portions. Particularly delicious Yorkshire pudding (made with butter maybe?), and slow roasted beef that I was able to cut with my spoon.
Great location adjacent Castle resort.Easy walking distance to hotel. Varied menu with great variety, chef on site to discuss meal choices. Tasty well prepared food and very abundant servings. Pleasant cheerful server and a good selection of wines. Full bar service of course.
The food and service was great...we will go again
Very Private, no ones business
Very friendly staff and delicious and fresh food. Would recommend to anyone
Very good food; excellent service; quiet atmosphere to dine in.
Great Prime Rib dinner. The atmosphere and service was great.
Very pleasantly surprised. The service, our waitress, was fantastic. I could not rave enough about the food. All the food ordered came out at the same time for appetizers and as well for main meals. All appetizers, like wings, and meals were steaming hot. This made me very happy. I ordered the Beet, pear salad and it was amazing, so fresh with every detail of the salad impressive in flavour, crispiness, freshness, and presentation. For my main, I had the Beef Stroganoff. My family was worried since this pasta dish can be very hot and miss. Rare to have a good experience. The chef did an outstanding job. The best beef stroganoff any of us has ever tried. The pasta was made fresh in house. They cleverly made the dish so the sour cream was not mixed into the sauce. That way I mixed it as I go and it did not chunk up. The flavour was spot on. I strongly recommend anyone visiting Vernon, Kelowna, or any of the Okanogan area, to try out this restaurant at The Castle at Swan Lake hotel. I will never forget and will come next year even if we stay in Kelowna, we will at least stay here for a night. My family were all impressed with this meal as well l, giving 5/5 each.
Excellent food, great staff and amazing view. We had a family of 7 with kids and absolutely everyone loved the food.
Service was excellent and the food delicious.
This is a nice, family style restaurant serving some authentic German and traditional dishes. It is a small menu but the food is very good and nice sized portions. Their spaetzle was very good.
We went to this place twice before and the German style food was amazing...BUT they changed their menu or chef or owner or something and it was average at best. The new menu seems to be more family friendly however so probably made this choice to cater to the hotel guests. Unfortunate. We may or not be back for the nice atmosphere and great service.
Food was delicious. Staff was friendly.
Great food and lots of room for a big group.
My first experience here was hit and miss. I went in Friday and the restaurant was at capacity (we had a reservation and were promptly seated). The atmosphere was mediocre, as was the food. It wasnt bad, but it was nothing to write home about. The waitress (only 1 on for over 75 people) did amazing considering how many tables she had to serve and despite the mistakes coming from the kitchen kept a positive demeanor and kept the laughs going. 5 stars for the waitress, 2 stars for the restaurant.
Excellent food. Not pricey.
Excellent menu, food and service.
Very friendly staff and management Schnitzel fair.
Very good fish and chips, 3 : 3oz glasses of wine great idea. Good service
Liked it very much good staff reasonable prices
Fantastic dinner. I had the Swiss style veal with spaetzel, my daughter had the childrens portion of German ribs with rice and my wife had the stuffed Yorkshire pudding with the cold cucumber dill salad. We had sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Our food was absolutely perfect. 5 stars! Our service was friendly and engaging. We had a gorgeous view of Swan Lake from our window seat. I would highly recommend this restaurant to absolutely anyone wanting a tummy full of delicious comfort food and engaging friendly staff who come to the table with warm conversation and lovely banter.
Great, wide variety in breakfast selection. Cozy atmosphere. Too bad I didnt have enough time to try everything though :/
Excellent German cuisine
Mmmm...mmm prime rib
It was absolutely delicious. The service was spectacular. We will be back.
Excellent!
The Schnitzel was very good. I quit enjoyed the spatzel. It was seasoned perfectly. Ronnie our waiter was very cheerful and friendly. We enjoyed a very affordable dinner out and will definitely return here.
My family doesnt eat a lot of German food and we ordered out of convience as we were staying in the hotel. Wow was it good! It was really good handmade food. Nothing from a box, real veg, spetzle, schnitzel. Kids had burgers. Parties were handmade and spectacular with a great German mustard. We will try the breakfast tomorrow.
Never had schnitzel before but it was one of the best dinners Ive ever had and didnt cause my mastercard to glow red.
