  The service: Outstanding. Promptly greeted with a warm smile and beverage. Their knowledge of each dish far exceeds what is written down on the menu and passion fires in their eyes when they are given the chance to talk about the food or wine.

  Atmosphere: Rustic, warm lighting, sound reflected quietly throughout the room. You can feel the Mediterranean subtleties in the overall design.

  Good food. Portions on the small side.

  It was crafted with such delicate care and precision, presented neatly and logically. It will dance in your mouth and make you sink into your chair. Each flavour of spice was easily distinguished, and used accordingly. Portions were correct, not too small, not too much, that perfect amount making you want to come back for more.

  I have been to many places that serve great food and have warm atmospheres, but one question always haunts them. Are they consistent?

  We took a rare night out to treat ourselves to a date night, which is rare. We choose Eclectic Med because it has been a few years since we had eaten there. The waitress was very helpful and the atmosphere was great. When we were given our table bread it came with the whipped butter packages that we had to open. We joked that for a 'high end' restaurant in Vernon, you would think they would at least have butter in a small bowl and not a package you get from the store. I ordered the duck, based on the recommendation of our server and my fiance' ordered the seafood platter. When the duck arrived, I was shocked how small it was and was underwhelmed. The seafood platter looked great, except for the rice which looked liked Uncle Bens. The duck had about 8 slices and was extremely chewy. I tried a couple more pieces to see if it got better, but it didn't. It was a while before the waitress returned...my fiance' finished her meal before I could tell her that I couldn't eat anymore because it was really chewy and rubbery. The waitress apologized (not her fault) and took the dish away. What happened next is why this restaurant deserves less than 1 star. The waitress returned after talking with the cook/owner and said that they would like to offer me a dessert and take half of my meal off the bill. I told her that I would not be paying for the duck because I could not eat it and there was no way I was going to pay $32 for something that I returned. No offer of making something else was even offered. I waited another 15 minutes before getting the bill slammed on the table. The duck was removed from the bill, but there was no apology or any offer of other food choices. If you are like us and rarely get to treat yourselves to a 'special night out' where you will spend $100 for your meal, I suggest you look at other options because everyone deserves to be treated with respect and there are far better options in Vernon to spend your $100 on a meal. I will not recommend this place to my friends, not because of the food, but because they don't care whether you enjoyed yourself or not.

  I personally dined at The Eclectic Med on several occasions during different times of the week. I believe I have a good understanding.

  In conclusion, I have paid much more for meals that are not even comparable to the ones I have had here. I highly recommend this place for a intimate date or a small gathering.
