Staying at the resort, this is really your only choice for restaurant. Service here was pretty bad. We had made reservations and stopped by the day prior to double check they had the time right. Before we even got one word out, the host looked at us and said "oh you need a reservation to eat here and we are all full." Umm...ya we have a reservation, we were just asking a question! We confirmed the reservation time with him and inquired about being able to reserve a table on the patio as we were there celebrating a special occasion. He told us "no we can't save a seat outside, and most likely the patio will be full, you will have to sit indoors." Everyone was a bit offput by his unnecessarily snarky attitude but oh well. Fast forward to the next day of our reservation, we showed up for our 8:00pm reso and were told "oh, no it says here you already checked in for your reservation today at 5pm." We were super confused and assured them that we had indeed not checked in at 5pm and the woman said again "well, that's what it says here." Lol! They finally believed us that we were not having 2 dinners and found us a seat (on the patio!) The food took about 75 minutes to arrive. I ordered a tuna sandwich without bacon. It arrived with a ton of bacon on it! I pointed it out and the waitress said "oh sorry I forgot to ask them...do you want to make a new one?" Since our food took over an hour to come out, there was no way I was going to wait to make a whole new meal, so I just peeled the bacon off and ate my sandwich. No one else's food had mistakes but we were all disappointed with the service, disorganization, and slowness. read more

I was pleasantly surprised as I went in with low expectations. First off, yes service here is not great. We found just being direct was the best way, they are not the type of servers who will read your mind and follow a checklist. Ask for a jug of water and order right away if your starving. The 4 stars is more for the food and ambiance. Very nice view, beautiful twinkle lights. The food we had was great! Calamari was delicious, not over cooked. The Cobb salad had lots of ingredients and a great flavour! The ravioli (not a large portion) was delicious and rich (why there isn't a large portion) It was excellent Lastly we had the sticky toffee pudding. Tasted like Christmas. Was good, but nothing compares to the Rimrock in Whistler. All in all I left very happy. Just lower your expectations for service. read more

This place is awesome. The food is fantastic. The guy who gave one star is crazy. I had beef dip and Cajun chicken soup. I don't know if I would really call the soup Cajun, but it was delicious. Beef dip so so tender and good. The is probably the best restaurant in Osoyoos. The visitor centre recommended. We had a party of 8,. Including kids. Everyone loved it. Our waiter was very personable. View is spectacular. It is a nicer restaurant but not pretentious. Good place for a date. The burgers stacked so high it doesn't look like you could even eat them. Pretty cool. read more

The view was gorgeous, and my company was fantastic. The waiter was friendly. And that's about the end of the greatness. The foods pricy, way over priced for the terrible meal we have had there on two different occasions, first was breakfast, omelette. Second was lunch, fish and chips. We have had way better food at a greasy spoon for $10.00 a meal. Seriously a major let down considering how wonderful the location is. Frozen fries and not so fresh coleslaw. And the fish was way over battered and hardly a piece of fish in it. But what cod was in there was very rubbery. And the coating on the fish was hardly cooked properly. After two try's at this restaurant, we will not be giving a third chance. We were hoping the first time was just an off day. To bad wonderful location. Waiter and location are the only reason I'm giving it a one start instead of zippo! read more

The breakdown: Service: 5. Food: 3.8. Wine a 3.5 (specifically, my glass of Cab Franc) Indoor ambiance on a rainy day: 3 (I imagine on a sunny day, the outdoor patio would be lovely, though!) *** The name Mica, comes from Mica Creek, which is located just to the north of Nk'Mip resort and drains into Osoyoos Lake.This restaurant itself is a part of the Spirit Ridge Resort, adjacent to the Nk'Mip winery. To find it, follow the drive past the vineyard, and the curve to the right, through the resort complex. Drive until you can go no further, and you'll find yourself in a parking lot, the entrance to the restaurant on your right. * When we were there this evening, the rain was coming down outside -- though I imagine on a sunny day, the patio would be open and would likely double their seating. As it was, there was bench seating along one wall, with those 6 or so 2-top tables pushed together along one wall to accommodate a group, and 11 other tables outside of that, to make up the entirety of the seating (so: make reservations, to be sure). Despite the tables not all being filled, the clean, modern, decor led to a cavernous acoustic situation, and it seemed incredibly loud. Our hostess was a sweet, soft spoken young woman, who almost seemed to just be mouthing words at times. We all had to lean in to hear her say, upon repeating herself, that there were no menus left, but that she would bring us some as soon as they became available. Later, the waitress had to repeat part of the specials as we all leaned in to hear. The waitstaff was friendly, and the food surprisingly fast (even our waitress said she was surprised at how quickly our entrees came out, while we were still eating our app). Our chips n dip appetizer was tasty -- the chips were overly salted and sparse, but otherwise good -- the goat cheese dip was tasty. Entree portions were satisfying, though not large (a big eater might still be hungry). My cod (and another at the table) was perfectly cooked and enjoyable -- with nothing major to report in either direction. Another person at the table ordered spaghetti and said it was incredibly light and delicious. The dark, concrete flooring, the high ceiling, the hard chairs, and large photos of slot canyons and river rocks all lent to the modern, clean, design, of which I am generally a fan. In this case, though, the acoustic situation I mentioned before really brought the experience for our group down quite a bit, as the three of us couldn't hear one another across our 4-top table (not huge), and eventually nearly gave up conversation. And it wasn't a comfortable enough seat to just kind of relax into the meal. On the downside, definitely don't bring anyone here who is even remotely hard of hearing. On the upside, if you have kids (which some families there had), they can speak as loudly as they like and jump around a bit (as was happening), seemingly without adding to the din whatsoever. The hostess came by and mouthed more words at us, a sweet smile on her face, and we all smiled and nodded back at her, without hearing the bulk of her words. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4, as I want to give a 3.5. As I said -- if the patio was open, the day sunny -- I imagine the entire experience might be different. Ambiance, and the ability to speak to the people at your table add a lot to an experience. All in all, our experience was "a-ok", (as yelp puts it for 3 stars). read more

My review is strictly on the customer service as we did not choose to eat at the restaurant, nor will we on any return visit to Spirit Ridge Resort. Not knowing the time we were to arrive I did not make dinner reservations, so early at 5:20 pm we decided to see if we could get a table for dinner. From the moment we walked up to the reception counter we were treated poorly. No "hello" or "good evening" just a quick "do you have a reservation?" When I replied no it went steadily downhill from there. Turning his back on us the host started conferring with a waitress about an open indoor table and she said "No, do not give them a choice put them outside." Wow, okay no choice and let's put them outside in 92 degree weather. I could go on but at this point with the already bad reviews posted I think the picture is quiet clear how the service is at this restaurant. read more

I don't think one visit can accurately judge a place. So take from this what you will. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, which was amazing taste wise, however for a pasta the portion was incredibly small. There were maybe 6-7 raviolis on the plate, for $24 that's kind of meh. I should have ordered a pizza or a burger for $15-$17. I can't remember the last time I left a restaurant still hungry. I also ordered a ceasar which never came, I just left it alone. Again maybe an off night, it was busy for wintertime. I have heard good things about the service so who knows. read more

Terrible service. Food not that great either. Most wine on the menu night available, even from own winery NK'MP. I would not eat here again !! read more

Horrible dining experience. We were in the main dining room and the flys were terrible. No effort by the staff to deal with the flys. Hate to imagine what the kitchen was like. Hard to eat the expensive mediocre food before the flys hauled it away bit by bit. read more

I cant even rate this place. Food was horrible and to add insult overpriced. The main dining room was filled with flies which were in direct competition with your meal. Save your money and bbq a hotdog. read more

Went on a quiet Sunday night in March. Our server Jordan was great! Even in winter the view of the partially frozen lake and lightly snow dusted mountains is beautiful. We actually shared the leg of lamb special (primarily because we had not tried lamb in a very long time). Well, glad we did. It was New Zealand lamb apparently and with the potatoes and beans it was thoroughly enjoyed. Just so you know, it does 'appear' as fairly rare but when you eat it you will find it almost dissolves in your mouth and not real 'gamy' tasting either. Added a caprese salad which my wife said was excellent! Possibly her best ever. I ordered Kale' to the' Caesar. I was craving a Caesar salad but was concerned about the Kale. Well it was all Kale. No surprise as I did ask if there was any romaine in it. No. I wish there was a combo as it was pretty good. But for my personal taste I don't love Kale ( I like it of course or I would not have ordered it) , it just became a little too much for me. Mix in some romaine lettuce I think is a god idea. I would have liked more garlic, maybe some roasted garlic cloves in it would be good. Croutons were crumbled which gave a nice texture along with crumbled bacon. Accompanied the meal with the Nichol Pinot Noir (at 1/2 price I may add...Bonus!) Very nice, glad Jordan mentioned it. Hot caramel pudding for dessert also an excellent finish to a great night and meal. Reasonable priced, great service and great view! Will visit again for sure! I had a burger here a couple years ago (Chuckwagon burger?)...I still talk about that. It was on special or featured and I said at that time they could have charged double and I would pay. read more

Food wasn't great. It sound very good and selection seemed good but both plate came out under seasoned. Lacked organization from the floor staff and kitchen. Took forever to get served and the tables were not bust very quickly which made seating slow. They need a lot of work to keep this restaurant flowing which would help the rating a ton. Smile while you work. read more

We tried it since we are staying close. The G&T was very good with house made ginger syrup. I would go back just for it. The bison burger was also quite tasty. The gluten free bun was one of the better I have had. The waitress said it was new on the menu. My wife had a beet salad which she said was really good. We sat on the patio, and when it started to rain, the staff was very quick to help us move. The deserts were fabulous. The only downside was the prices were a bit high. But the quality was also high. read more

I just had the worst meal ever for $200 My daughter ordered the salad - it was nothing but lettuce I ordered the Arctic char - it was completely over done and came with vegetables that tasted like they came out of a bag. My husband had the duck which was cooked nicely but really had no flavour or sauce whatsoever it came with over cooked corn. Our appetizer was the mushroom ravioli which was really good but $18 for 3 very small dumplings not raviolis And it took over an hour to get our food - Won't be back read more
