Reviews Summary
Bernie's Supper Club & Cinema is celebrated for its unique dinner-and-a-movie concept, cozy ambiance, and friendly, attentive service, with standout dishes like gnocchi and sushi receiving high praise. While most reviews highlight the exceptional food and drink quality, a few diners found certain dishes to be overpriced for the portion size, and one reviewer noted an issue with the salmon tartare.
"My Boyfriend and I went there for our seven month anniversary. Our waitress was so nice and the hostess was as well. We had a reservation at 5:45 and we did not have to wait long at all for any food or drink. They ended up giving us a dessert on the house for our anniversary, which was very kind. My boyfriend said his steak was cooked to perfection and my pasta was amazing."

"This is my newest favourite restaurant in Kelowna! As soon as you walk in you feel so warm and welcome. The staff are beyond friendly. The atmosphere and decor are so beautiful and cozy. The bar is stunning with some of the best drinks and wine selection I’ve ever seen locally. The menu has such a great variety of food options, there is definitely something for everyone. I recommend ordering several dishes to share if you can’t decide. The sushi and oshi are the best quality fish and sushi I’ve found in town! The steak and porchetta are unreal! Will be back to try more options. The Happy Hour menu looks amazing also. Looking forward to visiting the cinema one day soon also. Definitely add this place to must try’s in Kelowna!"

"Swung in for happy hour then upstairs into the movie theatre to watch The Princess Bride. My second time @ Bernie's and its been my favourite restaurant in town since the first.
Our oysters, shrimps, 2 burgers and some concessions worked out to around $140 after tips plus $25 for the movie ticket (Happy hour pricing). I'm not an oysters guy but they were super fresh and the sauces really enhanced the flavour. Great experiance."
