6 Reviews on “The Patio At Lake Breeze”
Had an amazing lunch on the patio today. Great service. Attentive to the dietary (gluten, dairy, egg free) needs of the people in my party. The Chicken Sandwich was absolutely unbelievable. Great sides with interesting flavour combos. Of course the wine was matched perfectly and was delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone touring the Naramata bench looking for a wonderful spot to enjoy a delicious, well priced lunch with an outstanding view of the lake. I will be going back for the chicken sandwich tomorrow!
Its a boring namelets get that out of the way. Most wineries follow the pattern of sushi restaurants, completely lacking originality in their names. There are exceptionsBurrowing Owl, Silver Sage, Kraze Legz, but for each of those, theres a Road 13 (literally located on Road 13), Hillside, and Lake Breeze.My girlfriend and I were on vacation through Okanagan wine country. Over six days, we visited sixty wineries. Thats sixty wineries, not an exaggeration. We ended the trip with 120 bottles acquired. Lake Breeze is one of the larger wineries in Naramata, matching the size of Poplar Grove or Hillside, but of those three, I enjoyed Lake Breeze the most. Yes, theres a bit of a corporate feel for it. Employees sell you more than the owners or winemakers directly. But the winery itself is stunningwhen you disregard the actual tasting room. Its shockingly small for a building this size, with only a few feet of clearance between the bar and the wall. A $3 tasting fee is lower than most others that ask for $5. Its well made with ample selection of merchandise and related products; its just a surprise the actual room is so small. The premises are vast, with several unconnected buildings inviting a fleeting if not enjoyable stroll, a rarity for the region where real estate is apparently rationed and rival winery tasting rooms are literal stone throws apart. Lake Breeze features signs to guide between locations; the most recommended being the Patio restaurant. Annoyingly enough, for some reason, the majority of review sites have split the entries for Lake Breeze and its onsite restaurant, only known as the Patio restaurantway to follow that theme of original and thought-out names. Dealing exclusively with the winery, its still more than worth the visitId only recommend going early to avoid a crowd, because if theres one, good luck squeezing in that tasting room. Lake Breeze is another great location in a region already profuse with praise. Just ignore its drab bottles and uninspired name. Seriously, we took our friends on a wine trip a few weeks ago, and they elected to avoid Lake Breeze judged exclusively on how boring the name was. Its still a great winerythats just what happened.The Patio restaurant, is unbelievably, a patio. I knowyou braced for some Mennonite Shyamalan-like twist there, like the patio was upside-down and people hung from swings or something. Wowthats actually kind of awesome thinking about it. Regardless, its a patio, but an attractive one, offering shade vital given the encroaching heat associated with Climate Change. We enjoyed a slight breeze on our lunch between other wineries, one flowing from the nearby lake, aLakeBreezeif you will. The menu was obviously changed since last there as we have photos of an impressive charcuterie no longer offered on their menu. I know, right. What modern, trendy restaurant does not offer a charcuterie or antipasto plate? I thought for winery bistros, it was mandatory. It might have been a special that day, but its exclusion now is bizarre. What was also bizarre was the dog chained up nearby that only occasionally acknowledged the crowd that constantly tried to get his attention. I mean that was weirda dog near a patio restaurant not interested in the food. Maybe he was one of those prole dogs that only enjoys barbecue. I did enjoy the food, but the view was the real draw, more than worth the pause in a wine journey. Sit back, enjoy, and then move on. Of all the restaurants in Naramata wine country, the Patio is one of the best for lunch.
Lovely.
Lovely patio, great wines and nice staff. No reservations though, so come early or come late…. Oh I do wish this restaurant was open later for dinner! 3:30 closing time is really early, especially in summertime!
Lunch there was a lovely experience. We got a table right away and the staff were very attentive. Wine and food were fresh, hot and delicious! Definitely recommend going earlier since there was a line up when we left. View of the lake was minimal but still worth a visit.
We went on a very busy, very hot day. We had to wait for over an hour to get a seat. There was no shade and no place to sit while waiting. After all that time, the food was just OK. The wine was good and once we got a seat; the staff was attentive. It was unfortunate that there was no lake view and certainly no lake breeze. Some fans would have been appreciated. Overall, a mediocre experience.
