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.

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.

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!

Gather has wonderful hospitality and an interesting tapas menu. The concept was Korean/Italian,…read morealthough the only thing we had that was representative was Korean tacos, which were delicious. We also had a lovely assortment of beef and scallop tartares.

We had a nice dinner on a cool Saturday night and generally enjoyed things…read more The food is a bit of a mishmash as others have said with some true Korean. (Bibimbap) and some true Italian (Gnocchi and homemade Pasta) with the rest being slight variants of both. We had the Burrata salad with greens and roasted and fresh tomatoes (nicely skinned) with Pesto, Pune Nuts and a balsamic dressing. It was beautiful but needed more salt and acid to tame down the Burrata. Still a nice salad. We split the Patate Fritte which was fried potatoes and gnocchi with a really flavorful Chipotle Mayo. The whole dish didn't work. The gnocchi were over fried and too small to eat with the much larger potatoes which were also underdone. The Tuna Poke Bowl was very nice (and a good deal) with all of the usual components. The Salmon was cooked perfectly (crispy on the outside slightly translucent inside ) and came with a wasabi cream, lots of roasted veggies (potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans) and somewhat random things like cornichons, caper berries, and beets. The whole thing worked but would have been better with some editing. I personally wanted more wasabi in the cream and wished that it didn't get watered down by all the veggies. They have a nice cocktail list and a decent list of wines by the glass, several local all fairly priced. The place is modern looking with windows overlooking downtown streets in two sides. The place is very modern with lots of metal and concrete and consequently lots of energy and lots of noise. I see this as a great space for a bunch of friends, less so for a romantic dinner. Overall I liked this place. It could be better and I would return. I love what they are aiming for.

The estate is gorgeous, on a hill overlooking Lake Okanagan. We dined with some great views on this…read moretrip, but this one beat them all. The food was also, complex, delicate, and thoughtful, accompanied by flexible wine pairings, which gave us an opportunity to test five of their wines, all terrific. The server here was also terrific, and saved us a trip to the tasting room by letting us sign up for the wine club right there. It's very flexible, just asking for three purchases a year, so we made the first right then, and I selected wines for a case that she even carried to our car.

This might be the best view for a dinner date in all of Kelowna. My partner and I made sure to come…read moreslightly earlier to explore the grounds and we were quite awestruck - almost felt like we were in Europe! The dinner itself was just great. My biggest fumble was not taking a picture of the tomato tart that was honestly the highlight of the entire meal. Major kudos to the team behind this dish. We didn't go for the Chef's Tasting menu but were perfectly content with the Terrace Dining menu. Service was impeccable and we felt extremely welcomed. Only downside to the experience was the fact that the wines weren't that amazing. Mostly because of the deep freeze that forced wineries to import from elsewhere. Ice wine from Mission Hill is still amazing. Still, the food, service, and ambience made up for this small hiccup! Will most definitely be back and Mission Hill will be our go-to recommendation spot for our friends!

Wanting a chill spot with a great veiw? My first time here and had dinner with hubby and my sister…read more& her partner as they were in town for a few days and Peachland was a great place on a quiet sunday evening. It's small inside so made a reservation . We got there early and got seated quickly. Our server let us know that the patio table finished and paid so when the party left she would seat us outside . We looked at the nenu while waiting for my sib - everything looked really good! The salads were tempting and the burgers/handhelds had a variety of proteins. Our server told us what was out and new items. All I heard was yellowfin tuna with sesame crust and made it one of my choices as a $23 tuna steak burger was a fantastic deal! once everyone was seated we watched the the outdoor party for sign of movement - I think they took 1/2 hr to finally go but our server took our orders already but we got moved. It was so nice out there! ordered drinks and chatted until the food arrived. I ordered the tuna burger with 1/2 fries and salad, hubby ordered the same but with fries, sis ordered the prawn salad and bil had the chicken salad but wanted salmon instead ( he got a lovey filet) . The tuna was crusted and seared and rare inside- a thick piece so the bun got squashed and it had pineapple with teriyaki sauce - luckily the teriyaki sauce was not overpowering at all and i just pulled the pineapple ring out. The green salad was out so had caesar salad - but i should have had the dressed romaine greens as there was a lot of dressing and cheese in bottom of bowl. Fries were thin, crispy and should have just had those instead! The prawn salad had lots of big prawns and i didn't try it but other than the bread on the side, my sister enjoyed it and polished it off. The bil dug into his salmon salad and was happy with the sub and cleaned up his plate. Our server was great - very friendly and attentive. My sister asked for a nonalcoholic drink that was fruity and fizzy and she got that! She had a great sense of humour and took care of us until it was time to leave ( they were closing soon too) I'll come back to try the salad and new menu items?

The food was delicious - we had the bacon cheddar burger, the pesto prawn fettuccine and the garlic…read moremushroom chicken. The service was just ok. Our initial order-taking and food came at a decent time but after that, the follow up was really slow. My husband commented he would have had a second beer if the server had actually checked in with us. It also took him a long time to get the bill and pay. Otherwise, my only other complaint was the our table was super sticky.
