Reviews for The Kitchen at Da Silva winery by Abul Adame in Penticton, BC

Went for late lunch during last week before season ends...only has chef choice creation so have to eat what the chef makes for... you. Had 5 dishes...not blown away by the flavours but was good. Was given the sausage, which was a bit on the drier sidethough. Also got the grilled calamari that was fresh and tasty. Got mussels and clams in light tomato broth. Portions tend tobe on the smaller side but kind of expected that for tapas...as long as price isn't that of a regular entree. However, the clams and mussels was $29 for less than a lb and was no where near the menu prices, which was shown to be $7-$20 per tapa. Whentold this week would be chef's choice and shown the tapas available in the menu, I thought they would be serving us random tapasin the menu, which we would have been fine with. Didn't expect them to slightly tweak the tapa dishes and then charge $5-$10more per tapa just because it's chef's choice creation. Also was given the sardine ($7 a piece) and mackerel ($12 a piece). They were very small and both were about 5 inches at most. I thought this was too expensive for two small fish (for chef'schoice creation). We would have been much more satisfied with ordering what we wanted from the menu, knowing the exact pricesand what we were getting. Like I said, the food was good but can get very expensive if you allow the chef to make what he/shechooses and not knowing what that tapa dish would be until the end. It's not about how much your budget is but rather is itwhat we expected for the prices and the food that came out. We spent more for lunch at other wineries and felt fully satisfied. We were somewhat misled by the menu and thought those would be the prices but get random tapas. Food was good but just not forthose prices for a few of those tapas. Service was good and friendly. A bit on the warm side, even in the October sun as itwas mainly patio seating. Will definitely not go back for chef's choice creation...as for regular Read more

Just got back from a lovely evening here. Myself, 2 of my sons and a daughter-in-law commemorated what should have been my 42nd... wedding anniversary if I hadn't lost my husband this spring. We laughed shared memories, good food and wine together in therelaxed atmosphere and attentive service that made for one excellent evening. Pascale, our server was great and the chef cameout to meet us at the end of the evening. We did the chefs choice evening and had a wide variety of lovely dishes. Would 100%suggest this experience to others It wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny. Read more

Terrible service ! Arrived at a virtually empty restaurant with a reservation, made to wait for 15 mins by host before being... told our only option was the worst table available. Arrogance and an over inflated sense of ?aren?t you lucky to dine here? wereself evident. As their sign said, if you don?t like to wait you?re invited to make a 180 turn?.. and so we did ! Lots of greatalternatives to chose from? don?t ruin your evening here !! ?.and thank you for your response to my review. It perfectlyencapsulates the disdain for your customers that we experienced.

Lovely view and tantalizing atmosphere. The sun set was breathtaking. The service was excellent with layers of knowledge. The... food memorable and the wine was dry with a hint of smoke. We were not able to do the wine tasting we wanted, unfortunately. Read more

Our one fancy meal was at The Kitchen by Da Silva. The food is Portuguese tapas, all cooked by one chef. The tapas menu is 99%... gluten free and we shared 7 dishes (between two). - Boquerones ($7.00) - Roasted Anaheim peppers, sea salt and garlic oil($9.00) - Veal tongue in tomatillo sauce ($12.00) - tongue was cooked to perfection and the tomatillo sauce accentuated the meatbeautifully. Best dish of the night. - Ceviche ($19.00) - Salteados ($9.00) - chicken hearts were excellent but the grilledonions elevated the flavour to the next level. The sweety drop peppers were juicy and bursting with flavour. - Duck leg confitwith amarena cherry gastric ($17.00) and marinated organic beets and mint-balsamic vinaigrette ($9.00) Will try to come backwith a larger group so that we can try more things! 4.5 stars.

Amazing experience here yesterday. The food was fantastic and the wine excellent (get the fume blanc!) Sitting on the deck... enjoying tapas and the view. Couldn?t think of a better way to spend an afternoon. Every dish was a high light but shout out tothe seared albacore tuna with guacamole, the grilled Anaheim peppers and the grilled sardines. The service was great. We werevery well taken care of. I couldn?t recommend this spot enough and we?re already looking forward to next summers lunch when wereturn. Read more
