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.

We started with a foie gras pate and some cheese, and then shared pea soup, and had steak and falafel entrees.

The drinks were good, and they had a nice selection of things. Service was fine. Unfortunately, the food was too salty. My partner likes their food much saltier than me, but even they said everything was too salty. Even the squid had too much salt. If you do go, the potted foie gras was quite good. There are lots of better restaurants though close by.

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!

A fairly new steakhouse for Kelowna, open less than a year I think. Five of us went, all our first…read moretime although three of us had been to Raudz which was its previous name. Similar but different, it promises a premium steakhouse experience, which it, for the most part, delivered. The building itself is cool, with plenty of parking across the street, or on the street. It's dark inside like a steakhouse should be. Timbers on the ceiling, good sized booths not to close together. The service was excellent as would be expected given the prices. The table side Caesar salad was very tasty, and well presented. Our waiter was top notch, and the maître de came around and showed us the cuts of steak while explaining how they should be cooked. The sides were very good, served family style. The mashed potatoes were top quality, and the fries (we had a young person with us) great as well. The steaks were all excellent, except my tenderloin, that looked unlike any tenderloin that I have ever been served. It had a fair amount of fat, which I've not seen before and was hanging out one side (see photos). The "choose your weapon" was a nice touch, I'll let you experience that for yourselves. We all had a dessert which were great, other than my sorbet that had quite a few icy bits and chunks on it, which should not be there. Overall almost perfect, as it should be given the bill, but that $60 steak should have been fed to the staff. Would we go again, probably.

This was our favourite of the three reds we tried. - 2021 Cabernet franc - 2020 La droite - 2018 Late harvest viognier - not too sweet, good mouth feel. - Blanc de blanc - first time they've made a sparkling pinot blanc. Excellent bubbly. We bought a bottle ($37.99). Too bad they didn't have their blanc de merlot bottled yet.

Our pourer (Chantal) was very friendly and informative. - 2022 Akina rosé - marechal foch grapes. Rosé was supposed to be dry, didn't taste so. - 2021 Riesling - smooth, velvety texture on the mouth. Not too sweet. Bought a bottle ($28.61) for home. - 2022 The flirty 3 - blend of three whites. Sweetest of the whites we tried. - 2018 Merlot - light on tannins, a touch smoky. - 2020 Cabernet franc - bolder flavour, but more tannins. Still one of my favourite organic wineries.
