Absolutely Outstanding Experience at The Dragon Boat Pub! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every single dish is absolutely amazing — full of flavor, made with care, and cooked to perfection by a truly talented head chef Lauren. You can feel the love in every bite.

The picturesque view from the building's entrance and the lighting established the tone for the exterior atmosphere. The courteous staff and the burger I had were no disappointment; it offered exceptional flavors with all the accompaniments and more. The soup was a delightful blend of flavors as well and left me satisfied, at a reasonable price.

Dragon Boat Pub is a hidden gem in Kelowna! The pizza is hands down some of the best in town—flavorful, perfectly baked, and loaded with fresh ingredients. Their mixed drinks are just as impressive, well-balanced, and crafted with care. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to unwind, and the staff are incredibly accommodating, making sure you have a great experience. I’m already looking forward to summer when I can enjoy their patio with a drink in hand, soaking in the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend!

A must if you're in the area. Friendly service, tasty food, and good-sized portions. The view is fantastic at any time, but sunset is even more special.

Es el lugar perfecto para comer y tomar algo disfrutando de la vista del lago, el menú no es tan extenso pero tiene un poco de todo la hamburguesa estaba muy rica y la ensalada también. Tienen muy buenos tragos y el servicio de las meseras es excelente.!

My ice water was served to me in a dirty cup. Dogs are aloud on outside patio with leash and collar, this was unusual but nice to see an establishment offer. I found the sign when leaving to be offensive. It says “ come back, we won’t tell the wife“. Owners probably thought this was funny, I however found it distasteful. I also think it makes their establishment seem sneaky and untrustworthy. The view on the patio was 10/10 very beautiful vibes by the lake.

Lovely spot, suitable for a group, friendly service, clean and organized. The food takes a while to arrive, but it is very good, the mojito was also good.

Had an order of nachos and an order of the chicken quesadillas.

Ok… I know it’s a pub and food isn’t the reason to go. But come on guys… if you are gunna sell nachos, at least make an honest order of nachos. The nachos we had were the second worst I’ve ever had. (The worst being in India, shame on me for Pedro g nachos in I India. This order had some sort of white gooo drizzled over pulled beef that lacked seasoning. And then there is the cheese. Or lack of cheese to be precise.

At first I thought they forgot the cheese, but then it did appear on a few of the chips. The waitress seemed to think that this was normal.

The quesadilla was just disappointing. No yum factor. It’s a pretty hard thing to eff up, but they did.

Time to send the chef back to culinary school. Or maybe rent a chef for a week to teach the guys you got tossing this grub together.

All that said, the wait staff was good. View decent. Beverages cold.

Good place to go if you want to sit and have a cocktail or a beer. Wrong place for food.
