This is only the Intermezzo eats cause we missed out on lunch times but it still was surprisingly good. The charcuterie board was pretty decent with a group agreement that the pate was da bomb. The fries were on another level, it was advertised as being cooked in duck fat. However, it actually tasted like the fries were cooked from inside a duck itself.tasty af. I didnt try the dessert due to my intolerance for lactose, but @luub19 says it was refreshingly light.Located at Mission Hill Winery, this location is really cool. The drive up to the winery and the actual view from the restaurant was really pretty. A great place to look out over the vineyard and food off a board. Cant wait to go back and ball out on dinner or lunch.Sal says: Just eat it@luub19 says: Would have liked to try the full menu#food #foodie #foodporn #instafood #delicious #yummy #intermezzo #YLW #kelowna
Amazing views, gorgeous wines, excellent service and very delicious pairings. The food was outstanding. The package deal here includes the priceless ambiance and is worth every penny. I would highly recommend this for any visitor to Kelowna. Soul satisfaction guaranteed!
The Terrace Restaurant stands upon its merits to such a degree, it can be reviewed separately from the Mission Hill Winery it resides within. In some alternate reality where cats are dogs, gender roles are reversed, and Im sporting a goatee and wicked thoughts (well, smore), the Terrace Restaurant sits alone atop a hill, overlooking a picturesque lake, and I would proclaim it as one of the best restaurants you could ever hope to visit. In the real world, the Terrace stands as a prominent aspect of a must-see tourist destination. Ignoring the winery, youre still greeted by one of the best views any restaurant could ever hope to have, at least one not facing a thousand-year old work of human ingenuity (although there was that one sushi place overlooking Kowloon bay in Hong Kong where there are nightly laser shows). This review encompasses a full day, including two meals, lunch and dinner, separated by an insufficient four hours. Also, my position as a food blogger was foretold, like the coming of plagues or the rising of Neo to save Zion. It arose because of an invitation to name-drop in order to receive preferential treatment. Yes, all that flowery mumbo-jumbo can be reduced (like good chicken stock) to the simple truth that I told them I was a blogger. As result, the head chef, Chris Stewart took it upon himself to lead me on a tour of the restaurants sustainable farming ventures. Herbs and vegetables are grown on site and incorporated into the restaurants menu, a menu that changes depending on whats in season. An ever-evolving selection is proudly listed at the bottom of the page: asparagus, beets, cattail, chickweed, duck, egg, fennel, hazelnuts, mallow, mint, etc. (since Im only up to M and have a word budget). Edible pansies stood outpartly because I think that sounds funny (all wimps should line themselves up to be replacement staple for the strong), as did foraged watercress, which sounded oddly specific. As the waiter ran off the numerous dishes laid out before us, she actually caught herself in an error naming off the specific olives and corrected herselflike that actually mattered.The restaurant itself is creative in its simplicity, like those exhibits in the Tate Modern of Lego brick stacks. The Terrace has no walls to speak of, veils descend to shield against rain and sun. Its one long stretch of tables, with waiter stations positioned bow, middle, and aftthe boat metaphor is apt. To the left reveals the Mission Hill Amphitheatre and are the best seats in the house. To the right is a drop-off overlooking the lake. The prep area, not unlike those in top bistros, greet guests only a few feet from the matre d podium. Fresh-baked bread is presented on slabs of stone with novelty butter pats shaped aswell, they dont look exactly like corks but they should look like corks. That preceded a meal that cost only $22, and for that we received peace country carpaccio (with arugula, onion ash, puffed wild rice, and oak barrel vinegar), wise earth gem lettuce salad (with duck confit, raisin glace and pear dressing), hand cut frite (because what kind of meal would it be without French fries apparently), and numerous fresh olives (the aforementioned labeling mistake). The price escalated with the addition of wine, because we obviously needed more after the afternoon tour. It didnt include the aperitifs served before and after the full coursepickled cherries and homemade jellies.After a quick jaunt to Quails Gate down the road, we returned for the evenings chefs table. Youll notice if perusing the online menu that theres no option for a chefs table, but it does exist, usually in July. It was Junebecause the head chef is just that awesome. Once again came the aperitif and homemade bread, the candied rhubarb, and then two sesame chips jutting from a wood clinging onto a dollop ofI kid you notwine tartrate (I think thats what its called–basically wine residue/sediment). After that followed the roasted Haida Gwaii octopus with chickpea fritter, yogurt, mint, and I kid you not, squid ink (which I suspect Chris did intentionally due to a conversation about experiencing that in Teatro). And yet after all that, three more courses followed, a risotto, a beef over spinach salad, and smoked beef short rib & frites (with smoked shallot, seared lettuce, beef glace). I actually couldnt finishdessert had to be cancelled. Gone, but not forgotten. I will be back for that dessert, Chris. Terrace does nothing by accident, like an oracle, everything is purposeful, from the black weave mats to the artistic knives that stand at rest on their edge. The service is impeccable, the environment romantic and lavish. I can only count a few meals in my life that measure up or supersede the Terrace. And since this is based on two meals, my opinion should count twice, right? Wow, first Bouchons, now thisKelowna really is a gastronomic mecca.Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Presentation: 5/5Value: 5/5Recommendation: 5/5
I come here every time I go to Kelowna but this time the service wasn’t the best. We had to wave down the waitress. The food is good but I find a bit overpriced. The view is gorgeous. I prefer Old Vines for food and view but the Winery itself is a must visit!
If you want to enjoy a meal at the winery, GO TO THE OTHER ONES IN OKANAGAN!. Seriously, I have been dining at quite a few different winery every time I visit Okanagan, Mission Hill was one of the worst experience from the knowledge of server to service to the food. Waste of money. If you want to treat yourself better, go to Quail’s Gate, Burrowing Owl and Hester Creek, then you will be much more satisfy! Can’t believe they have 80% review.
Taste worse than a cheap restaurant. Very unappealing presentation, doesn’t taste very good for the price you’re paying for.The only good thing is the view. Service is so so as well
Absolutely stunning! The level of service, the dishes, the wines and the surrounding makes The Terrace restaurant a divine experience.
