I would like to start off with the phone call. Person on the line was amazing squeezed us in even though they were booked. We are only in town for the weekend. The atmosphere sets the tone for your entire experience! So beautiful and intimate. Makes you feel as if you are alone there. The service is phenomenal! Our server was perfect. Now for the food. Thee best part. Started off with bread and butter. Warm delicious yet so simple. Followed by the tomato salad and Caesar salad. Every bite was pure bliss ! Soon as those delightful salads were devoured to the point of almost licking the plate, followed the mouth watering Filet Mignon and the delectable Garden Pesto Pasta. And to finish it off Callebaut Chocolate Truffle. There are no words to describe how spectacular the food was. Every bite was perfect, absolute perfection. On the way out a server opened the door for us. We have never had this kind of experience dining out before. No place can compare ! I would give this place a 10/5 for Food, 10/5 for service and 10/5 Atmosphere.
We took our nephew and his wife out for their 7 anniversary It was a beautiful evening.. the food was so delicious, service excellent and great live guitar performance too!
Shane and I shared a beautiful anniversary dinner at the restaurant. It was very romantic and intimate. I was impressed that they offered a 0 proof sparkling wine on the menu. It was very enjoyable. The service was excellent and I must say I had the most delicious crème brûlée with chocolate mouse ever! I am so grateful our server suggested it. We will be back!
Massage therapist at our resort recommended Intermezzo for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance was perfect & even though it was a last minute reservation, they still made sure to recognize our anniversary. The food was absolutely incredible. Arguably the best pasta dishes that we’ve had. We had the Seafood Medley w/ Linguine and the Bolognese w/ Gnocchi. Paired with a bottle of Hester Creek Pinot Gris and followed by the White & Black Crème Brûlée. No trip to the Vernon area is complete without checking out Intermezzo!
What an amazing restaurant! I don't often say this but when we dined here it was by far one of the best meals and experiences I have had. First of all as a vegan I was happy to see an abundance of options for me and a complete open and understanding staff for adjustments to accommodate. Next the overall service was fantastic, our server was an amazingly friendly and warm and welcoming gentleman. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We even took part in dessert and I was very happy to see vegan options there as well. I honestly can't find anything wrong to say other than maybe it would be nice to see some sound deadening material added to help with some of the additional noise but that is very minor. Very happy overall and can't wait to go back again.
Mixed feelings here purely from the food quality. Firstly, the service was very good. Excellent pace combined with a friendly and positive attitude. The food was…good. Certainly not great. The drinks were oddly watery. Like, if you’d left your martini in an ice shaker for 5 minutes too long. The rib eye was fatty and only passable with the Gorgonzola butter. The filet however, was spot on. Perfectly cooked. One of the better filets we’ve had. I’ll try this restaurant again earlier in the evening. Perhaps the later reservation had some impact on quality. Seems like a 4/5 restaurant to me. But we’ll try one more time.
If you want fast food this is not the place. If you want quality then you’re at the right place. Food was outstanding. We got the halibut and the Moroccan Lamb. Both outstanding cream brûlée was one of the best.
We had a cozy early dinner here on the last day of our vacation. The venue is recently renovated, and full of art on the walls, wine bottle privacy screens and smaller semi private seating areas. Our server Paige was very cheerful, attentive and helpful. We very much enjoyed all of the dishes! We had Escargot Casino, Med bread, Moroccan Lamb and the Duck. My lamb was wonderfully seasoned and juicy. For dessert we had the sample size of creme brûlée and chocolate mousse, which was decadent and just the right size for a finale to a wonderful meal! If I had to find one thing to improve about our experience, it would be that I had several flies that were buzzing around me for the majority of the meal. In a very minor way it took away from the fine dining experience, but it didn’t ruin the meal. A lovely place and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Thank you Paige and everyone at Intermezzo!
One of the best restaurants in town.. They do everything great! The food is amazing, the service is top tier and the current Christmas/holiday season atmosphere is very well done.
My perfectly prepared Ahi Tuna steak made the Top ten best meals of my LIFE
Beautiful place, intimate setting and top notch staff. You instantly feel welcomed. We will be back!
Classic night out restaurant with elegance and smiles, this place is a date night must. Great service, great food and prices that dont break the bank.
I love this place, the whole experience is worth every moment and every dollar.
Food was awesome! service and atmosphere were more awesome!! reminds me of years ago when customer service was very important!!!!
Fantastic ! Best food in the Okanagan by far. Great service
The food was so delicious and the ambiance is very cozy and relaxing while eating. Our waiter Mardachai of Intermezzo at the Castle is so awesome, he is very polite, friendly and efficient. He is very knowledgeable with the menu and the drinks. We will surely come back again and we will also recommend this restaurant to our friends.
I have yet to come in to dine and possibly eat at this wonderful atmosphere establishment restaurant. My understanding is that a family owned, very responsible people are always making their customers very satisfied with their visits there.
Fantastic time on the patio for happy hour! Service was perfect, food and drink on point.
Maureen and I had a wonderful early birthday dinner for her early bday dinner. We had the best experience with a server new to us, Celine I believe was her name.. Our favourite fine dining and can be casual as well restaurant ever...
Had an amazing dinner with live music. Great atmosphere, service and food was terrific
I tried warm olives for the first time and they were delicious. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. The staff were very friendly
Great servers and staff and awesome Italian food!
Great food! Great staff!! And loved the atmosphere. Thank you.
Intermezzo as one of the most cozy atmospheres for a restaurant. Their portions are generous and they have great staff who are always willing to help! They have a wide selection of wine to choose from and knowledgeable staff to help pair the wines with the food.
Really cute patio with beautiful flowers. We went for happy hour and had bruschetta, artichoke dip, and butter curry naan pizza. Everything was so tasty! Lemon drop martinis were fabulous. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Vegetarian options: Bruschetta, Artichoke dip, butter curry naan pizza.
Two small town ladies came for great food. We didn t just receive great food we received wonderful food and above and beyond service from the entire staff. Mom and daughter without a cab ride were taken care of. Small town service with big city quality. This place is amazing. I highly recommend. Food and service are more than a five!!! Will be back! Thank you Intermezzo
This restaurant was absolutely stunning and amazing. The food was super delicious and delightful, the setting was calming and happy. The service was FANTASTIC it was quick and fast. Super nice and sweet kind waitresses and waiters.10/10 I recommend to eat here at Intermezzo s.
Incredible service, and excellent food. Will be back for sure.
My wife and had an excellent dinner here. Our server was polite and fun. He came around quite frequently but wasnt intrusive. We enjoyed our whole meal, crab soup artichoke dip, a mushroom linguine, pesto linguine, the mouse and cream brulee and the cheesecake taster. Vegetarian options: I very much enjoyed the mushroom linguine and there were a handful of other options. You can ask for a vegetarian menu and it makes it easy to see how to make it vegan if you want.
Delicious food, great ambience.
Wonderful place to go for dinner. Food is out of this world. Super busy on a Tuesday tells you how good this place is. Vegetarian options: Brother and sister in law are vegetarian. They raved about the dish they ordered.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Intermezzo, where exceptional service, outstanding cuisine, and a warm atmosphere came together perfectly. The sticker on the door made us feel incredibly welcome, too! Parking: You can use coins or an app to pay at the metered parking on the nearby streets.
Reliably delicious food beautifully presented by excellent service staff in a lovely relaxing setting. First class all around!
This is a nice, atmospheric restaurant in Vernon Downtown with an exquisite menu and an extensive wine list. Ive had dinner here several times, and the service is always excellent with polite staff. In addition to the regular dishes, they offer special menu items. The terrace is a lovely spot to enjoy a meal, making it a perfect place for a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience.
Beautiful ambience and a great happy hour!
Amazing, and honestly I am not usually one to choose an Italian restaurant. This is a gem. So family friendly! Service amazing! Food even better!!! We have been a few times and I would always come back with the whole family, no hesitation.
We go for our anniversary every year. Always a wonderful dining experience. Their happy hour serves up amazing selection of appies as well.
5 star, food was amazing especially the Calamari. Will definitely be going back.
Gorgeous atmosphere, great music and delicious food. Everything you need for a good evening.
Absolutely amazing! Even going as Vegan and Vegan with a gluten intolerance- they have a full gluten free menu, a full vegetarian/vegan menu - and modifications are more than welcome Vegetarian options: Vegan options
Long time favourite for date night! The owners are genuinely caring and thoughtful, and it shines through at this restaurant. Best wine list in town!
Wonderful food and service. We have been here a few times and food is so flavourful and beautifully presented. The creme Brule for desert was some of the best ever.
We went back a second time because we wanted to give it another chance. They failed to deliver a medium-rare steak twice, and the veal parmigiana was too thick and tasteless. In the end they did not charge for the steak. Service was friendly and welcoming. If you are going to disregard my warning, try to get a table near the window, it is brighter during the day.
We love this restaurant. The food and service are always amazing. I had the halibut, my son had steak and husband had lamb. All were incredible.
The food has really disappointed the last couple of visits. We ordered gnocchi - it was all very oddly shaped and just tasted like pasty flour. We had the veal and it was very thick cut - which was a bit unappetizing. The happy hour wine is very good.
Went out for my wifes birthday. Good food. Portions are not big, but will fill you up. Staff was very friendly. Did I mention the food was very nice. My only thing was that this restaurant needs an update in there decorating and atmosphere Parking: If you are after 6pm free parking on yhe street.
This is an awesome restaurant .on the pricey side but more than worth it
Had a lovely dinner here. Tried the bolognese, which was excellent. The coffee was great, and cheesecake bites to finish. Loved all aspects of our visit.
Who knew Vernon had such a gem !? If you havent been here , do yourself a favor and check it out. Drinks , appetizers , food and dessert was all so incredible ! Our server Samir was fantastic as well.
Our first time eating at Intermezzo last night was fabulous. Fun and friendly service. Beautifully presented dinner which was as tasty as it was beautiful. The accouterments were as good as the entrees. A definite winner!
What a loverly meal. Food was great, service was attentive but not over the top, and the restauraunt was cozy and gorgeous. Try the duck. And tirimisu. And the Hester Creek rosé! And...and and...lol.
Food was excellent! Service was superb! Shout out to Samer. He took take care of us that made our dining experience great!
Great ambiance and the wood was amazing. Definitely recommend.
Excellent experience. Great service, nice atmosphere and delicious food. Love it.
I took my wife here for Valentines day, with our other couple friends. She ordered the saffron scallop and prawn. She also made sure to let them know she has a dairy allergy. She found the dish incredibly disappointing. It lacked flavour, the sauce was just olive oil and black pepper. It was missing the scallops. We told our waiter and he brought two tiny scallops to the table. Then said theyre on the house, umm I would hope so! They were supposed to be in the dish. They also forgot the saffron, another key ingredient in the dish. The waiter offered to bring my wife some balsamic vinegar and oil for her bread and didnt remember it till he brought out the bill. I definitely dont recommend intermezzo. Its overhyped for the lack of quality.
Was an amazing dining experience. The atmosphere was perfect. My wife had the filet mignon and I had the halibut and both meals were the best we have ever had. The creme brulee was done beautifully. I will be going back and would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Excellent restaurant in every way! Food is incredible, great selection of dishes in basically every category. Servers are very friendly and catered to our needs professionally and with enthusiasm. Theres no wonder this is the place to go for a sophisticated meal in a cozy, romantic setting.
Delicious Saffron pasta for Vegan and complimentary bread so good. Chef followed request perfectly last Sunday. This is my favourite restaurant for vegan entrees
Amazing food, ambience, and service. A huge shout out to our waiter Sammer (apologies if spelled incorrectly). This gentleman was by far the best waiter I have ever had-Professional, soft spoken, knowledgeable, and attuned to what we needed. Thanks Sammer, appreciate you!!! Food
YES.YES.YES. START THE CARRRRRRR!! If I could give this more stars, I would. New to Vernon & celebrated a 70th birthday here, best.decision.ever. Mom loved it! - we all did! The entire staff was kind and genuine, and the energy & care was beyond. Felt like hanging out with family - a really awesome environment! Our server was so incredible, espec. with our nearly 2 year old (he was smitten for her too ;) ) she always took time to never rush away and was very attentive to our table of 5 adults. Wine recommendation & Food recommendation was top tier. Food was delicious, no detail was left undone, flavors were a wonderful trip throughout our course of the evening. First timers & already planning next visit happy hour: 3-5 DAILY??!! - uhm yes!! The prices are very spot on (if not even less than expected!) Beyond 5 star IMO. Tasted: -Halibut - unreal, thick delicate buttery, risotto cooked perfectly, nice and hot, Asparagus al dente *already craving it again -Seafood medley - a huge portion of pasta with nice mix of all the ocean, not overly saucy allowing everything to sing -Moroccan Lamb - exquisite flavor burst (yes, I need to buy the spice they use *they sell it!) Cooked to perfection 2 chops not chewy in the slightest -Bocconcini Pasta - hugely delicious lots of meat with great flavor -Creme Brule Dessert - bday surprise treat & legit the best weve ever tasted! Thick crunchy layer so much flavor & the whipped cream side was to die for. Cant wait to come back! Thanks for having us! Dietary restrictions: Peanut dietary - not even a concern they said they dont have in there due to allergens Parking: Street parking around the building very convenient - was busy but not hard to find a spot - was free on weekend Kid-friendliness: Extremely kind to our little guy, crayons & paper, stickers, kept entertained, server provided couple options we did cheese pizza (toddler) she was the sweetest human!
The food was absolutely delicious wish I would have taken pictures but I will go again Wonderful service Food
Excellent food
Fantastic meals and service. The black and white creme brûlée is the highlight of my meal. Can I just be like Garfield and eat my dessert first?
Excellent food, service, atmosphere. One of the best restaurants Ive ever experienced. Thank you so much
This gem has been around for decades & yet this was my first time. My parents used to do date nights here in the 80s. Intermezzo has always had a great reputation but I always thought it was too fancy & expensive for just a casual dinner. We took my parents there for my Dad s birthday this week. Reservations were available short notice & we had the best reception & service. Ambience is so nice the live music was superb. The food (chef s kiss). Worth every penny!
Was a great experience. Got the little cellar room to ourselves which was nice. Service was amazing!
A great high end restaurant in Vernon. The ambiance was enhanced by the live guitarist and the staff were wonderful. The Moroccan Rack of Lamb was excellent and Id highly recommend it. The cheese cake was the better of the two desserts although the main outshined them all.
Love this place! Service was spot on! Food was prepared perfectly and absolutely delish. The live music, Fernando, is an incredible musician. All in all a wonderful experience
While I originally gave 5 stars 5 yrs ago, we have been back repeatedly since and always have a 5+ star experience. This is by far the best restaurant in Vernon and scores big-time for atmosphere, food quality and impeccable service. Oh and their wine list... Food
Amazing, quaint place in the heart of Vernon. Amazing food, and service. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely amazing place. Staff is wonderful, food is amazing, and the atmosphere brings it all together Food
Best restaurant in town in my humble opinion.
Wonderful restaurant and cuisine.
This is my second visit and I am as impressed as I was the first time, great atmosphere and an amazing waiter
My boyfriend and I dined here last night for an anniversary dinner. It was a wonderful experience. We both ordered the steak and shrimp Appy which was absolutely delicious. Followed by our entrees. My boyfriend had the linguine bolognese and I had the chicken Parmigiana. Our server was fantastic and referred a wonderful scotch to my boyfriend. He was very knowledgeable and provided great service. The entire experience was just all around wonderful and we intend on returning in the near future!
It had been decades since I dined at Intermezzo, and it is even better than I remember. Everything was as good as it could be.
An amazing experience, our server was great and courteous, our meal was prepared and server perfectly, a great start to our anniversary evening.
Absolutely amazing food, such rich and delicious flavors. Incredible staff, exceptional service. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy,
Best place in town!
My wife and I celebrated our birthdays there last night (yes born same day, 1 year apart). The whole experience was a pleasure right from the start. Entering Intermezzo, we were asked if there was a special occasion that brought us in. We told them it was our birthday dinner. Upon being escorted to our table, we arrived to find a Happy Birthday sign had been placed on the table. The evening just got better from there. We shared two appies, escargot and bruschetta, a bottle of Ancient Hills Pino Baco, then our entrees. My wife absolutely loved the Ahi Tuna, while I devoured an amazing Moroccan Rack of Lamb, both of which were prepared to perfection. We finished off sharing their signature Black and White Creme Brule. Our server, Jess was an absolute delight, listening to a couple of old fogies stories, and offeriing to take our picture as a momento of the evening. Intermezzo has become our absolute must go to for future birthday dinners. A phenomenal evening.
For a small downtown local independent restaurant the food and service doesnt disappoint . However, unfortunately we did not have the same experience at the Castle Intermezzo Food
I could not recommend this beautiful restaurant more! Thank you to Lucas and Jaycee for the incredible service and hospitality. As always, the food and atmosphere was perfect. We will be back again and again! :)
Cozy place with great food and amazing service.
Wait staff is very attentive. Will definitely return.
Awesome atmosphere. Great food and Wine. Parking: Easy to park Kid-friendliness: Awesome choices for kids
Great place great food and service
We went on Christmas Eve It was delicious. We all enjoyed our meals. Our server was wonderful. The lady who greeted us was fun and offered to take photos of us in front of the Christmas tree. Food
One of our favorites.
It was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. Amazing people and food.
Everything was excellent. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks for the relaxing moment to enjoy a great dinner out! It was all very tasty.
Great service, reasonable prices and delicious food!
Most amazing dinner my fiance and I have EVER had. The most amazing service! Our waitress was just amazing in every way. We will be going back regularly!!!
Bland
Our first time and it was amazing 10/10 can t wait to go back
My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Intermezzo in Vernon this month and absolutely loved our experience!! Our server Mairyn was lovely, attentive and exceptional in every way. The food was delicious!! The caesar salad is the best I have ever had. The veal parmigiana and the pastas were also fantastic! This is a quiet classy restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. If you are looking for great food, service and positive zen energy Intermezzo is for you.
Great service. Ok Food. Great wine recommendation.
5 stars
Our young server was amazing. He knew his job very well and took the best care of us. Going back for sure.
What a wonderful little gem in Vernon! Had a fantastic meal catching up with friends. Our server, a tall and super friendly gentleman (sorry, didnt catch your name) made sure we were very well taken care of all night, including when we continued to sit and chat after the meal. The food was so delicious, especially the prawns for the appetizer. 10/10 what a great time!
I havent been to Intermezzo since I moved back home here. And wow! the atmosphere was warm and welcoming! Clean, the staff were incredible! But the food was outstanding! My bestie and I dined in last night as we needed a night together and we ordered the house red wine, the soup to start with the bread and that soup was like heaven in your mouth! Then we each had the Oscar chicken and Carribean halibut just amazing! Thankyou for the incredible meal and wonderful service! Felt like being at home it was so nice
I ve been coming to this restaurant for ages and it remains one of my favourites!! Outstanding every time. Intimate, elegant, relaxing ambience. Always friendly and welcoming service. Amazing food and drinks. I would recommend this place for any occasion!
Great atmosphere and ambience. Highly recommend for a word class fine dining experience.
We had a wonderful anniversary dinner! The food and service was incredible.We felt like honoured guests! Chris and Noreen Wolthers Food
Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Special praise for the hostess with the mostest at the front!
One of the better upscale eateries in Vernon. Not my first visit there; food is consistently good; service I find a bit in your face but thats more me than the place itself; ambiance is nice, even when the house is full you dont feel too crowded. Dietary restrictions: Decent menu choices for gluten-intolerant, vegetarians and vegans.
Environment is cozy, quiet. The staff are exceptional! And the meal was great. Would highly recommend this place.
We ate at intermezzo last night and honestly pretty bad start as two of our main choices were not available. So moving on, my wife asked if they could change the king crab to scallops on her chicken oscar, no go. I had the carribean halibut, man so bland, I expected popping spice, really disappointing. So overall, really underwhelming for the $160 we paid for two. I think this restaurant benefits from being good in a small town but it would be screwed in vancouver or Toronto.
Great atmosphere. very friendly staff. Parking: I had no problem but it was afternoon. Parking on the street. Food : 4/5 |
Its nice to take some time to enjoy a great steak. Staff are wonderful people.
Fantastic service and the best meal I have personally ever had thanks for making my girlfriends birthday special intermezzo
Went for our 25th Anniversary. The steaks were totally AMAZING. We arrived early and were taken to the lounge as our seating area was still in use. The hostess was very friendly and courteous. Our server was friendly and helpful regarding our choices of menu items. We will return. Parking: We were able to find a meter close by.
Service was excellent, food and portions were great! Would make a reservation on weekends to avoid waiting for a table. Put yourself on the waitlist as well if you can t book because they will call you ASAP if they have a spot that opens up.
Amazing dining experience in the private wine room. The staff made the evening very special for my fiancé and I
Amazing food and service
Absolutely loved this place. The food was exceptional and the service some of the best I have had. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a great experience in Vernon to book a reservation and enjoy.
Service and food top notch.
Absolutely amazing service last night. The staff is incredibly gracious and will go above and beyond to make the customer happy.
The food is really good. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food. The service was good. Server was attentive and made sure we were taken care of and that everything was up to everyones expectations. The only thing that was lacking was the actual restaurant itself. We were told by the gatekeeper that it was the hotspot in town and that it is very classy ... thats where they fall a bit short for me. Tablecloths to cover the beat up tables might be a nice touch. And the woman who seems to run the place and assured us of the classy hotspot is just a bit out of touch. There are no Beverly Hills in Vernon. Over all a good place with good food but an underwhelming experience after all the hype.
Great place. Happy hour prices are good and food was delicious. Had the duck for dinner and was amazing and the risotto was perfect and tasteful
Always so accommodating, friendly and appreciative of their customers. I feel right at home and always leave wanting to go back!
This is the best restaurant in town by far, The lamb was cooked beautifully and the Cesar salad was fun to eat and creativity 10/10. would recommend to anyone because of the fair prices and their excellent service. Will be back!
Incredible dinning experience! Staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, were accommodating to dietary restrictions, and made my birthday dinner very memorable! We will definitely be regulars here.
Excellent
Wonderful place for a night away from the kids. There are plenty of gluten-free options, and the dessert menu was awesome!
Fantastic atmosphere and food. Very attentive service. Highly recommend Vegetarian options: There is a separate vegetarian menu with vegan options available Recommended dishes Moroccan Rack of Lamb, Veal Oscar
My boyfriend and I were disappointed with our dining experience, We waited for over half an hour for our food to be served, while another table that arrived after us had already finished their meal. The staff just walked pass our table without saying anything for the wait, which was frustrating. Despite our patience, the quality of the food was disappointing. Lack of flavor and seasoning, and it was not worth the lengthy wait. Considering that the restaurant has received a 4.8-star rating, we had higher expectations, but unfortunately, they were not met.
Came for our 4th Anniversary and the food was incredible. One of, if not the best kitchen in Vernon. Our server Mordachai was honestly the best server weve ever had. Super friendly and enthusiastic. Also gave a great and honest recommendation from the menu. Definitely coming back next year, even if just for the amazing service we received.
Intermezzo in Vernon, BC is a great steakhouse with delicious food, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the sides were equally tasty. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making the dining experience even better. The restaurant has a comfortable, intimate feel, perfect for a romantic dinner or special occasion. The only downside is that it can get a bit noisy when its busy. Overall, Intermezzo is a great choice for anyone looking for a top-notch steakhouse experience in Vernon, and it definitely deserves a 4-star review.
We started our meal with the prawn and scallop appetizer. For 19.95, I expected more than 3 prawns and 2 scallops, which were nothing special. You can put as much lettuce on the plate as you want. It still doesnt justify the price. I ordered the Oscar with chicken and scallops instead of the crab. There was (no word of a lie... 2 scallops). My meal was so doused in pepper that I couldnt taste anything else. I know every chef has their spice of preference, be it garlic, onion, or in this case, pepper. But Id rather taste what I ordered. We were not impressed with this restaurant, to say the least. I also ordered a vodka and Coke, one of them was milky looking. Terrible. I definitely will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Amazing service. Food was sensational and wonderful experience overall. Jess our waitress was great! Will be back!
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
Excellent food service and entertainment best restaurant in Vernon
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan food Food
Always a great experience. Food is always quick and cooked perfect. The staff team is always exceptional. They are knowledgeable, friendly and make the experience special.
Food ok but not exceptional. Server not knowledgeable about dishes. Would expect a bit more for price and reputation.
I recently had a delightful experience with Intermezzo restaurant that I just had to share. My journey began with a slight mishap in purchasing a gift card. I made an error and accidentally selected the option for the recipient to receive the gift at the restaurant instead of via email. Worried about the mistake, I contacted the Intermezzo staff, hoping for a solution. To my delight, they responded promptly and with genuine warmth. The staff member went above and beyond, rectifying my error with utmost care and understanding. It was not my first encounter with Intermezzo, as I had visited their restaurant last year. The food at Intermezzo is nothing short of extraordinary. Every bite was a burst of flavours that tantalized my taste buds, from the appetizers to the main courses. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was simply delightful. The culinary team at Intermezzo takes great pride in their creations. From start to finish, their exceptional customer service and delectable cuisine have left an indelible mark on me.
Exceptional food and amazing service. We were in the private wine cellar, it was incredibly private and quiet.
These guys deserve 5 stars as I ve really had a lot of good meals here. And the price for the quality is on point. I did have a bit of a bad experience on my last order. Where the restaurant forgot an item in the order and then blamed me for the missed item. It s not impossible that I forgot to add the item, but since it was a 50/50 thing just thought it was not best practice to assume I made the mistake. That being said, I ve ordered here a million times and essentially every time it s outstanding food and nice family owners.
We had an amazing dinner, everything was super tasty and our server Mortikai was the sweetest, always checking on us with a huge smile!
Very quaint and quiet restaurant. Service was impeccable, quickly addressing an issue with my order, and the cocktails were delicious
A lovely place with delicious food and amazing staff! We received outstanding service from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Our meals were very tasty and the portion sizes were generous. Great atmosphere as well, very cozy and we got to enjoy some live music while we dined.
Lovely cozy and intimate dining experience. Dishes were well prepared and delicious. I tried the Halibut with pear and walnut salad. Highly recommend. Service was friendly and attentive. Don t miss this restaurant if you re visiting Vernon.
Awesome meal, great service - Id give 6 stars!!
Couldnt think of a better place to celebrate our anniversary dinner! Good drinks, food and service!
The whole experience of this place is absolutely amazing, the service is amazing, the ambiance is amazing, the live music amazing. Will definitely be back.
Went for the wifes 50th good food and nice live music as well!
Beautiful restaurant! I enjoyed a nice ribeye steak and my wife enjoyed the ahi tuna for our 5 year anniversary weekend getaway! They had a musician playing guitar that night as well and it added such a great atmosphere
Excellent meal, great service. Highly suggest the lamb dish!!!!
We sat on the terrace, which was nice. I had spaghetti bolognese, my wife had Caesars salad. I was very satisfied, my wife was not at all. Their food consisted of a few 10 to 15 centimeter long lettuce leaves and the usual sauce. Didnt taste good. We also drank a bottle of delicious Gewürztraminer. The service was good at the beginning but in the end we had to wait a long time before we could pay. The service simply stopped coming. Finally we went to the restaurant and paid there. Bad service, a shame.
Im not a wine drinker, so Im probably missing out on what many consider a major feature of this restaurant. Still 5 stars based solely on the food and service. I highly recommend trying the Moroccan lamb, it was exquisitely prepared. Didnt need the mint sauce at all, which was the only negative I can think of (it tasted a bit like toothpaste to me, unlike other mint sauces Ive enjoyed). Despite the busy dinner rush, the service was great. Our server was very friendly and I regret not remembering his name. Anyways, I highly recommend! 2 years later and I still highly recommend this restaurant, and the lamb!
Great food and service.
This is the best restaurant in the valley! Food was amazing and our server Paige was incredible. A must visit restaurant. We will definitely be back!
Poor service. Had reservations, showed up in time but table wasnt ready. Waited 15 mins & meanwhile others who came in later were seated. Not sure what was going on that day but blame management. Seemed disorganized.
Lovely staff but weve been here twice and honestly it might be the worst meal Ive ever payed for.
Amazing place to come and eat!!!! Service is the best in town, everyone is so warm and welcoming! The food is .. SOOOO delicious! ! Definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends when asked where to eat in Vernon! Thanks to the team at Intermezzo for the exceptional service, food and atmosphere!!
Delectable!
Amazing scenery.
Had a lovely dinner here last night. Quits romantic setting. Excellent ambiance, delicious meal and commendable service from Paige. Highly recommended.
My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Intermezzo last night. Paige served us. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. The food was great, especially the Morrocan lamb. If the food and service were not enough, we were entertained by the talented Fernando. He is a very talented musician from Puerto Vallarta. We highly recommend Intermezzo.
The premier dining establishment in Vernon, BC. Anyone who resides in the area or passing through owes it to themselves to eat her at least once.
The most amazing dining experience. Vernon is very lucky to have such an excellent restaurant, with world class food and service. The wine pairings they offer are extraordinary.
Met with old friends there for dinner. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Food was great. Loved thier selection of Scotch Wisky.
Our Australian visitors that joined us tonight , so enjoyed the wine & food, the decor and our waiter, Mord. BEST CANADIAN EXPERIENCE
Best restaurant in town for sure, nothing bad to say about it foods phenomenal, cozy building, but the service is the best I ve ever had. Tall gentleman with the shaved head was a great waiter.
The food was fabulous atmosphere very relaxing very friendly staff bit expensive but I think its worth it for sure
Its no wonder this restaurants reviews are so high, absolutely phenomenal! Im having a tough time to say which was better, the food or the service. Well done guys, keep up the good work
Fantastic
I went for my first time tonight for my anniversary with my partner, we both enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere! Everything was lovely and bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it! I would highly recommend! Great vegetarian options, they have a vegetarian menu so if you are vegetarian I d ask for it, it has quite the variety of dishes you can choose from :) Wine was also lovely great variety there as well!
Great place amazing food and the staff are so nice and friendly... we definitely will be back
Waiting for takeout, having a nece glass of wine, the bartender gives me extra leftovers of a virgin drink. Yum!! The chicken parm was mwhaaa!!! Yum!

This is directed to the Castle Bistro. A reservation was made two weeks in advance for my wife and I to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary, November 10, 2023. We chose the Castle to support the local owners but wish now we had chosen Intermezzo instead. First off, even though our reservation was for 7:00 pm, our waitress advised they were sold out of all steaks, except fillet, and there was no lamb left either. We had viewed the menu before hand on the website and were all geared up for a ribeye and lamb dinner. The waitress went back into the kitchen then came out to announce that one lamb portion was left. The steak was tender and presented as ordered. however the lamb was not. One chop was rare and the other was charred to medium. A preordered dessert was selected (our favorite from many years ago, Cherries Jubilee) and served as a surprise from our daughter. Lets just say that the chefs attempt to recreate the desert was appreciated, although unrecognizable. We didnt complain at the time as what could they do, there wasnt anything else we wanted to have, and the dinner was prepaid as a special gift. We have been long time patrons of the owners restaurants, always being satisfied and huge supporters. Sorry to say the Castle Bistro, not so much.
Went for the first time tonight and had a great meal. Food was perfect, room temperature and little too high, so was the wine temperature. Overall a place we will return
Intermezzo did not disappoint! We were recommended to go here by our friends who joined us. Our server, Samar, was amazing, very accommodating with any of our requests. He made our visit very enjoyable. The food was excellent as well! We will definitely go back here the next time we visit the area!
We had dinner here for the first time this evening. The food was exquisite - one of the best meals weve ever had, and weve eaten at many different restaurants in many different cities. Page, our server was delightful. Well be back!
Family dinner last night couldnt have been any better. Great service, very acomidating, and a great atmosphere. They set us up in the wine celler, the kids lived it and we enjoyed having our own space where we didnt feel we were disturbing others having dinner. Food : 5/5
Awesome food,awesome service. Id definitely go back!
