Seasonal Celebrations: Summer Solstice Soiree


At Restaurant Vernon, we're ushering in the summer with an event that’s quite unlike any other - our Seasonal Celebrations: Summer Solstice Soiree! Imagine, if you will (and I reckon it ain't hard to do), a night where the sun dawdles longest in the sky and we, merry souls below, dance and dine under its lingering gaze.

Now, this ain't your everyday dinner affair. No sirree! We're talking about a soiree that harnesses the very essence of summer's kickoff. Our chefs have been toiling away (not really "toiling," they love what they do!) to craft dishes that are as much a feast for your eyes as for your tummies. They've sourced seasonal produce – think sun-ripened tomatoes bursting with flavor, sweet corn as bright as morning sunshine, and succulent berries that are the epitome of June's bounty.

But wait – there’s more! As twilight eventually descends (reluctantly, mind you), our patio transforms into a veritable fairyland; twinkling lights mimic constellations above while live music fills the air. It's not just any tunes we’re spinning – oh no!

No matter what creations grace your palate, they scoff at convention!

The chef interjects brief tales between servings – anecdotes about sourcing local ingredients or how a particular recipe was inspired by his grandmother's cooking back in Italy (Ah! The nostalgia hits). You can’t help but hang onto his every word; it’s not just dinner – it’s theater.

But let's be clear: these dinners aren't for everyone. They're designed for those who yearn to explore beyond their comfort zone - foodies craving something truly extraordinary!

Now (hold your horses!), these nights aren't your run-of-the-mill dinner experiences. Each guest is assigned a character role upon arrival, complete with backstories and objectives. It's not everyday you get to masquerade as someone else while enjoying fine dining, right? Dining establishment The anticipation builds as everyone scrambles to piece together clues sprinkled like breadcrumbs throughout the evening.

Transitioning smoothly to ambiance - let’s talk atmosphere! Restaurant Vernon transforms its space into a theatrical stage, adorned with props and décor fitting the evening's theme. Whether it's a 1920s speakeasy vibe or a hauntingly gothic castle setting, authenticity is key (but never fear; it's all in good fun!).

Culinary school Here, patrons don't merely indulge in exquisite meals; they become part of something much larger—a community dedicated to making a difference.

Transitioning from the usual clatter and chatter of daily service, the restaurant transforms into an elegant venue for these special evenings.

But wait—there's more! Each gala is themed uniquely. One might whisk guests off to a 1920s speakeasy (complete with jazz melodies twirling through the air), while another could bring forth the vibrant spirit of Mardi Gras.

Fine dining Vernon BC

Vernon was incorporated as a city on 30 December 1892, with a city hall formed in 1903 for the governing body, which included a fire hall and a public reading space. The following year, it was declared the largest municipality in the Okanagan and first of which to contain a bank and telephone. As population expanded, more services were made available at Vernon, while its city centre switched from Coldstream Road to 30th Avenue. A school and Vernon Jubilee Hospital were public services made available in 1909. Despite a growth drop during World War I, citizens voted to open a new high school, sports stadium, and, later, a shopping mall, Village Green Centre, and library, in the city.
