We grabbed a tasting downstairs before our reservation and enjoyed the wine, and then we really enjoyed the food afterwards too. Also the view is pretty awesome. We were told to come for the marinated feta. We got that (feta), garlic prawns, a steak, the terrine, and mussels. Everything tasted great and cooked just right. I really liked the greens and potatoes that came with the meat cut too. My favorite was the terrine.

Giving this 2 stars mainly for the view and the ambiance inside the restaurant. I would rate the food at one star. Unfortunately, this was my second visit, and I left disappointed again. I paid $60 for a 7 oz tenderloin and fries, which were presented in an underwhelming manner. Way overpriced for what it is, which was my impression already on the first visit a couple of years ago. Sadly, I don't see myself returning and can't recommend it for the food.

Restaurant is beautifully located in the Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery. Setting is stunning. Started with the marinated feta and dipping bread. Perfect amount of season and garlic. The seasoned olives were served warmed. For the entree we had the pan roasted halibut with fresh veggies and roasted potatoes. Delish! The waiter was chatting with us and very helpful. All in all, the restaurant was great.

Mac n cheese on the left and grilled cheese on the right of the plate. The fries that came with the sandwich not pictured (very tasty!).

Was hesitant to eat here after mixed reviews but we did a wine tasting at Mt. Boucherie and saw the restaurant had had gorgeous views and outside dining so it checked our requirements for a final dinner of our trip to Kelowna. We make a same day reservation for a Saturday in August and were advised the patio was first come/first serve. We got to our reservation a little early (4:45pm) and had no problem getting seated on the patio for our group of 7. We stuck to cocktails and beer as we didn't love the wine from the tasting. The Zombie cocktail was fantastic- our waiter warned that it packed a punch so it was enjoyed slowly. For food, every person loved their meal. I had halibut and other orders were pork chops, steak and frites, and the burger. For kids meals they offered chicken tenders, Mac and cheese, and grilled cheese. Our kids weren't super hungry- we had ordered them the Mac and grilled cheese. The adults at the table finished off the kid's meals as they were incredibly delicious! Our waiter was very helpful with suggestions for their menu as well as upbeat and fast with service! It was a perfect last dinner of our trip.

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!

I remember having a great dining experience here a few years back so made sure to stop by when in…read moreKelowna visiting. 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!

For the 2014-2015 ski season the Globe has a new location above the grocery store at Big White. The…read morespace is divided into three parts - a coffee shop, a restaurant and a bar area. The coffee is excellent and comes in big spotted mugs. There are cheerful additions - comfy chairs, National Geographic magazines to read, books, board games and more in the coffee section. You can watch the Food Network while you sip coffee. Or you can sit at the window on bar stools and watch people go by. There's also a deck. WiFi is from Telus - Big White Resort coverage. I had a wonderful roasted red pepper and squash soup. I had a large, fresh loaf of bread with it that had a honeyed butter and herbs - I was only expecting a slice of bread - the soup was excellent. The restaurant sometimes gets oysters - didn't try them - but they looked tempting. Had some good gluhwein and listened to an Australian guitar player - just the right volume - enough to be heard, not too loud for conversation - very pleasant atmosphere. There are some wonderful Tapas dishes. Tuna tartare, avocado mousse, pickled cucumber with lavoche is especially good. We enjoyed potato croquettes with corn and sausage sauce. The lamb shoulder with tarragon, peas and garlic toast we also enjoyed. In past years I've had the cheese platter - which is a delightful way to finish a meal. The servers always make you feel welcome.

We dined here as a couple for dinner, we were pleased with our choice and had a nice night…read more We sat in the area near the bar which was nice as it was further away from the large tables of families. Not complaining about families, just not something you want to sit beside all the time when there's just two of you. Our server, Madison, was great - attentive, helpful and friendly. We tried the Korean Cauliflower, it was mostly crispy and tasty - recommended . The Patatas Bravas were good - basically a large bowl of roasted fingerling potatoes - they are best when mixed as the tomato sauce at bottom of dish. We tried the daily bread expecting delicious homemade crusty bread - it was corn bread and was ok tasting but lame for the price. None of the food we tried was bad but it wasn't excellent either - we'll be back to try some other menu items. The winner here is dessert and something I would recommend you go here for = the S'mores. They are great. Cook the homemade marshmallows at your table, yes I just said homemade marshmallows - this was the best marshmallow we have ever eaten. Kids love it, adults love it. Go here, you'll love it. It's ridiculous, messy and awesome. Enjoy!

Friendly service! Every dish we ordered was amazing. I ate as much as my belly would hold…read more Definitely eating here again on our next visit to Kelowna.

Passing through the area for work. This rating is for my experience…read more My food was very tasty at a great portion and price and my waitress Leann? was an angel. I'm giving a low score due to the fact that I feel this establishment is heavily discriminatory of people of color. When speaking to locals I had met. They all agreed. I was passing through Kelowna on a work trip and this location and golf course was near my hotel. So I decided to walk over as I was excited since I frequent driving ranges and courses. When I walked in the door, immediately I was stared at like I didn't belong there. Of course 95% of wait/hostess staff were white/white passing. I asked to sit on the patio because there was a great view. There were multiple 2 and 4 tops available. I was sat at a huge table at the very back away from the view as not to be intermixed with all the white diners that were all seated forward towards the view. I was there drinking and dining for almost 2 hours and none of those tables had diners. So the excuse that they were "reserved" isn't valid. I was gawked at by wait staff and just stared at. It was not a great feeling. When I spoke to friends and other locals of the area. They all confirmed that's exactly what was happening as they had heard the same from other people. If you're a person of color STAY AWAY. This was absolutely the most uncomfortable I felt within the entire western half of Canada. As I've gone through A LOT of cities and Provinces. I didn't event get a chance to do the driving range on the property because I was so uncomfortable with it all. I would've preferred to be turned away versus sitting there being treated this way. Locals then recommended multiple other options where I may be more accepted. Again food was tasty but seeing myself and the only other table of color being tucked away out of site truly left a horrible taste in my mouth.
