I visited Barrique & Java multiple times. The best thing I tasted here was their Whipped Feta ($12)…read moreand Pink Fiesta ($19). The feta dish is local BC whipped feta with harissa honey and crostinis, it was delicious and made with good quality ingredients. The Pink Fiesta is a featured cocktail made with Empress Rose Gin, Basil, Strawberry Syrup and Lime Juice. I want to point out that our service was quite slow, I'm not sure the root cause but service is definitely lacking. The rest of the food and drinks were had were mediocre and way overpriced. We shared a Charcuterie Board ($32) and felt personally victimized by the Greek Yogurt Pretzels ($9.50 and not shown below). You could get both at Superstore for half the price and it would taste the same. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of merlot, so I wasn't completely in love with my Berry Bliss Sangria ($19). But, my Golden Italian Panini ($18) was decent... however extremely over priced.

There are not many vegetarian options but one can get by with a pasta. They have a good wine selection and some very good wines from a related small production wine maker. The space has a main dining room and a bar. On both occasions we were seated in the bar which I found a bit strange. The lighting is rather on the dark side but not extreme. Everyone was happy with the food.

Great service too and their prices are very reasonable compared to what we have at home for this quality of food. Looking forward to my next trip to the Okanagan!

I forgot to make my review when I had this place last - and unfortunately it is going away :(…read more I really enjoyed the ambiance of this place. You walk in and it's always bumping and bartender is always making funky and cool drinks and everyone's always having a great time. Lots of conversation between friends or even between strangers at the bar. Service was always great. The best dish is the brussel sprouts - it always has something funky in it - marshmellows or grapes and then cheese. It was so enjoyable and they truly believed in their culinary art. I've always appreciated their evolution of their dishes and it was never boring to come back again and again. I truly hope the owners are able to create another restaurant as creative as this one and make it last. I really truly enjoyed this!

We booked a Happy Hour reservation for the long Sunday Easter long weekend at 4:30pm and we were the first to arrive. As Salt & Brick has an evolving fresh sheet menu, you never know what's on the menu but they usually have a few staples like their Brussel sprouts. As this was my boyfriend's first time here, we ordered the Brussell sprouts with popcorn and the Rigatoni. We were given the regular menu but did inquire about Happy Hour and the Brussel sprouts, pastas, and charcuterie board were on special. Unfortunately, they didn't have any oysters available that day. Small cozy atmosphere with a cute front porch. It's a small bar and kitchen that you can see and wonderful that you see and hear all the food being freshly made to order. Our server was friendly, chatty, and attentive but also gave us our space too. The Brussel sprouts served with cheddar popcorn, grapes, and ripped beer cheese is a bit salty, sweet, and so satisfying! My partner doesn't love Brussel sprouts but really enjoyed this dish. The Rigatoni was a bit rich with a nettle became sauce but served with the earthy lily spears, it was a well rounded dish altogether that we also enjoyed. Cute restaurant on the Downtown main strip that isn't a major chain, which is refreshing. Will continue to visit next time in town and hopefully they will have oysters then!

The website advertises this place as casual, dining, and it is that but done with a really high class slant that makes you feel very comfortable, but well looked after at the same time. I had the braised short rib cooked by this guy. It which was honestly one of the best short ribs I've ever had, and I've had a few! Beautiful wine, quality, cocktails, fantastic staff.

Our servers on both occasions were highlights, attentive yet also leaving us be. Last night it was just K and I and the previous visit there were five of us outside on the patio. The space is nicely decorated but has no real charm or ambiance, which is understandable in a big hotel. The menu is extensive enough that you should be able to find something to meet the needs of your palate while here, but there are many choices within walking distance that may be a better choice of you are looking for a specific culinary experience. If you don't want to leave the hotel, you shouldn't be disappointed with your choice. Our food while not amazing during each visit was solid, and well presented. It might be a little on the higher end cost wise, but what isn't these days. Given all the choices in the neighbourhood within a short stroll, you may want to explore, but also understand the best choice might be in the hotel you're staying at.

This place is a long standing fixture in Penticton and we were looking forward to it. And we weren't disappointed.

Lots of choices for wine, most local which is great. There are many notable wineries in the region. The service was great and it was one of the first nights with the launch of the vaccine passport. I appreciated how we felt safe as they took the passport seriously and you couldn't enter the restaurant without documents, even though a few tried.
