Pretty decent food at a ski resort. They have daily pasta and seafood specials, and a menu with…read morelots of variety. They had a Laksa which I tried. It's definitely not traditional Malaysian Laksa, but the sauce was pretty rich and I'm fine with the interpretation. The daily pasta special was a carbonara with crispy pancetta. Done pretty well. The pancetta was on point, slightly salty but still crispy and great texture. The sauce was nice, not too rich. I know my wife raved about the daily salmon special. Excellent potatoes - crispy on outside but creamy and soft on the inside. Great place to come to for some fine dining while skiing here. Beware it's pricey though.

This was by far our favorite place to eat in silver Star Mountain village: Sort of a cross between…read morea pub and a bistro, with lots of comfort food and appetizers as well as high-end pub food, typically with organic ingredients. At night, they moved it up one notch to even nicer fare. Atmosphere was dark and cozy, with a roaring fire and couch at one end. Generous booths lined the outside walls. A small stage was setup for live music. A perfect spot for tired skiers to strip off their outer layers and stay awhile -whether it be lunch or an après ski snack and cocktail. For us, it didn't hurt that it was only a few steps away from the ski school pickup area. And they had a kid's menu. No menu on the table here; It was written on a giant chalkboard surrounding the door and was ever-changing, apart from a few mainstays. Burgers, wraps and sandwiches were excellent and the soup was phenomenal. On my first lunch visit I had a glorious seafood chowder (with big chunks of local salmon) and a few days later a delicious potato-leek soup, one of the best I've ever had. Beers on tap were limited to just four from a local brewery, Okanagan Springs. I tried both the pale ale and black lager - both very good. Beyond that there was a decent bottled beer and wine list. I didn't get a chance to try any well drinks. With a free pass on Valentine's evening, my wife and I snuck in for dinner here, reservations made, but not really needed. My steak was good, though on the tough side. My wife's squash risotto was perfect and very satisfying. Wyndham Estates Winery was there handing out generous tasting samples for everyone. The only disappointing moment was at dessert time - no chocolate! Being Valentine's day, with nice Shiraz flowing freely, a complete lack of chocolate on the menu constituted a major fail in my book. Though considering they are still basically a pub at heart, I don't feel justified reducing their rating based on this one issue. The Den was an especially fun place with the Winter Olympics going in nearby Vancouver, with 3 widescreen TVs showing the coverage. Canadian flags were hung everywhere, and the staff were all sporting "Go-Canada-Go" t-shirts. At one point, when Canada won a gold medal, the staff announced everyone would get a free round. We gladly participated.

The atmosphere was warm, with a modern/rustic cross. We arrived at 5:30 and were seated in the lounge, drinks were ordered and served I enjoyed the espresso martini which was a nice twist, tasting exactly like an espresso. With our reservation set for 6pm. We were seated promptly and our drinks brought over to where we sat. Which was nice because of the gear we were dragging along. I have to say the food was amazing the group I was with had ordered the mile high salad, two of the fish special (salmon), and the Beef Cheek. The salad was great with added chicken side, the salmon was cooked to perfection, and the Beef Cheek melted in my mouth. Which was paired with a nice white wine and seasonal beer (storm watcher). Just a side note try to stear clear of the delicious in house made fresh bread, only to save room for dessert that there two fine pastry chefs can produce. Highly recommended peach pannacotta by one of the owners who stopped by to see how everything was. I definitely will be stopping in again the next time I head out to the slopes.

So, this place is like a bar and bistro with a full menu. We came to eat and was one of the first…read moreones but by 7 there were many more people. Not loud or rowdy at all, and felt more like a restaurant than a bar honestly. I'm writing this review because it's spring and this ski resort is mostly empty, and a ski resort in the middle of the Okanagan is not where I would have expected to find a ramen menu in a bar-bistro. Yet they reassured me the chefs were trained properly. So I decided to be brave and give this place a chance. I was pretty glad I was open minded. Myself and 2 of my kids had ramen. One had chicken broth which was not bad. Mine was a miso and mushroom garlic / "black oil" broth. I added egg and roasted pork belly. My summary is - I'm satisfied with this ramen. It's pretty good considering where it is. It's not the same as Vancouver ramen but it's still good in its own right and I would have it again. Pork belly - this was EXCELLENT. Crispy and full of flavour. Wow. Egg - decent ramen - thick, it was ok. Doesn't stand out but good enough. Broth - it's thick. It's not miso. It's not tonkatsu either. It's kinda like curry but not spicy. I mean curry like in consistency. However it's interesting enough. Stuff - bamboo. Green onions, though cut kinda funny. Anyways, give this place a chance. The burger according to my burger fan daughter was really good, and my wife's winter vegetable torte was really good too.

We sat for 20 minutes with no service . Keep in mind the place was nearly empty . There were only 3 other tables with people . There were 4 servers just walking around and socializing at the bar . We got tired of waiting at the table so I went to the bar where the service was equally poor service . I ordered 2 salads and instead they brought 2 drinks even after he repeated our order . The wait staff seemed more into themselves and socializing with one another over serving customers . Once they do take your order they go right back to ignoring you . Took 4 times asking to actually get water. I don't often write reviews , I hope they improve their service because the food is worth it . We don't care about the low cut shirts and hiked up skirts on the waitresses , just provide good service please

Well you…read morewon't need to look far because this restaurant actually lays right at the bottom of one of the many runs here at Big White Resort in Kelowna, Canada. When entering the restaurant I noticed a few things that caught my eye. The workers welcomed us in with bright smiles and I also saw they had cute little coat hangers around the place. It was quite warm and was cozy. The menu items sounded good and varied from burgers to pizza to pasta. I myself ordered a Gondola burger as seen in the picture I've posted. It was pretty good, somewhat gamey but it wasn't overwhelming. I do believe it could've used a little more seasoning but all in all a good burger. I do recommend coming to this place after a long day of snowboarding/skiing as you will not be failed by this wonderful helpful staff and good food.

The servers are dressed in flapper attire, and they offer cabaret performances after the winery closes (see events calendar)!

They also have events listed on a monthly calendar posted in crown &thieves and all of their sister wineries (ie. The hatch, the hatchery etc). Definitely worth a visit during your trip to the Okanagan!
