   Skinny Duke’s offers an inviting and unique dining experience in the heart of Kelowna, blending vintage charm with an eclectic menu. During our visit, we were fortunate to be served by Meredith, whose professionalism and appropriately attentive service elevated the evening. She ensured we felt welcomed and well cared for without being intrusive—a delicate balance that truly enhances the dining experience. We started with the Caesar salad, which was a delightful twist on a classic. The crisp romaine, creamy dressing, and perfectly seasoned croutons hit all the right notes. Next, we indulged in the duck spring rolls—a standout appetizer. The rolls were crisp and golden on the outside, with tender, flavorful duck filling that was perfectly complemented by a tangy dipping sauce. For the main course, we enjoyed the Beef and Broccoli noodle dish, which showcased a harmonious blend of tender beef, vibrant broccoli, and rich umami flavors. The noodles were perfectly cooked, adding just the right texture to this well-balanced dish. To accompany our meal, we opted for the Mt. Boucherie Syrah, a local wine that paired beautifully with the depth of flavors on our plates. Its bold yet smooth profile was the perfect match for the richness of the duck and beef dishes. Skinny Duke’s seamlessly combines a nostalgic vibe with inventive cuisine and impeccable service. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Kelowna. We’ll certainly be back for more!

   This is our go-to place if we want great food and atmosphere. You have to try the coconut old fashion and their Asian inspired menu has so many flavorful choices! Service has always been top notch, and even when it's a full house for New Years Eve everything was great.

   Had the New Year’s Eve dinner menu. The food was amazing, best tenderloin I’ve had in ages.

   Love this place. We come in from Vernon a few times a year. Especially when our kids are in town from Calgary.

   Great food, outstanding service, wonderfully eccentric decor. It was very reassuring that every staff member acknowledged they were aware of a shellfish allergy and that each dish was safe. Eat here. You won’t be disappointed!

    Had the fried mushroom pancakes as a main course - very tasty but warning, very deep fried! (my gut wasn’t happy in the night) Fast service & good overall menu at typical Kelowna prices - $$

    Thank-you for your review, Florrie! Sorry to hear the mushrooms didn't sit well with you, but happy to know you enjoyed your visit overall. Cheers!
