Location on top of the hill is fantastic. The restaurant has a wonderful view of the grape vines, the lake and the other side of Kelowna. Service was very friendly and prompt, they take time to chitchat with their customers. We ordered the following: 1. Daily bread - Ricotta with strawberry and rhubard puree, pickled rhubarb and rosemary ciabatta. It was perfect for the start of spring. Loved the combination of the ricotta with the rhubarb and strawberry. The ciabatta was served warm and it was fluffy and lovely. 2. Catch of the day - Halibut with farro and veggies. Fish was cooked perfectly - the outer char then the juicy moist flesh of the fish. It was amazing! 3. Spaghetti with scallops and side striped shrimp with asparagus and watercress/peashoots and radish with slivers of parmesan. Perfectly cooked shrimp and scallops. The veggies were a fresh accompaniment for the dish -- perfect pairing. We didn't have room for dessert anymore but we plan to comeback again next time we're in West Kelowna. Also, loved their sun-shade. It blocks the heat of the sub but you can still see the view behind.
Friendly attentive staff, excellent service, good view and good food! What else can you ask for? It's not a big restaurant so reservation is a must if you want to be sure that you have a table. The restaurant is open like there is no AC but you get a great mountain view and great view of the bell tower and chapel at Mission Hill. The chef uses local ingredients. We didn't have any wine with our meal because we plan to do wine tasting after dinner.
This was perhaps one of the most picturesque dinners I've ever had. Seated along the edge overlooking Okanagan Lake and the Mission Hills vineyard, the weather made for a perfect night to have dinner outdoors. The in house made canola oil was something that I personally didn't care for and would've been happy with an olive oil but the home made butter was wonderful. Our starters were all beautifully done and great for a nice summers night. Their duck was done perfectly served on a bed of fresh local vegetables and a squash purée on the side. Amazingly tender, flavourful with just the right amount of seasoning. The wine selection of course being at a vineyard restaurant was excellently paired based on the chefs recommendations. The price of the wine offerings were of course a little higher being a premium winery but it was still an excellent experience.
Spectacular view of Lake Okanagan from Mission Hill winery. 20+ years ago, when I first came here, there were picnic tables for a bring-your-own lunch. The lunch menu is limited - a couple of pastas and a burger - but the meat and cheese board was delicious, and all you really need if you want to have a couple of glasses of wine and enjoy the view.
View is amazing, food is amazing, wine is amazing - can't go wrong with this place! Lucky to have visited this place for lunch during my visit to Kelowna this week. I've heard tons of good things about this place so I was excited to give it a visit :) Both personal recommendations from people I knew and reviews online sounded promising and we weren't disappointed! Everything on the menu sounds so SO delicious - it was hard to narrow down what we wanted. After some help from our server, we ordered the beef carpaccio, kale salad, and the catch of the day which happened to be scallops. I liked how unique and fresh every dish was. Felt like everything had a bit of a twist to make it different from, example, beef carpaccio you can get anywhere else. I loved the addition of the pumpkin seeds in the dish, and the presentation was beautiful :) The salad with the goat cheese was amazing too - first time I felt like I didn't get jipped on the cheese to salad ratio - I really do love my cheeses! I almost felt like I didn't have enough greens to eat with the cheese ;) The scallops were cooked perfectly and although the beans didn't sound appetizing when the item was described to us, it surprised me how much I liked them! We finished off with the cheesecake which was light and delicious - totally recommend! Not too sweet, not too heavy. The only slight complaint I have is that the service was soooo slow as the food took forever to come. The server did apologize and mention that the kitchen was backed up. Based on this, I would've given the place a 4.5/5 but I rounded up since I was happy with everything else :) If you have the time and the $$$, please do yourself a favour and check this place out :)
If you are looking for a well executed lunch on a breezy terrace overlooking a spectacular vineyard, framed by a shimmering lake and mountains, this is your place. We went there for lunch, it was well executed and tasty, pricing matched quality and overall experience. Staff greeted us with smiles upon arrival, and our server was professional and courteous. Can't say much bad about this place, if it's within your budget.
Not a lot of choice in the menu. A bit expensive for what you get, but the food is pretty good. Had the brisket burger and it was too salty. The salt overpowered the rest of the burger and I could barely taste the cheese. However, I changed my side from fries to vegetables and they helped balance or the salt. By the end of my meal, I was enjoying the burger and just wishing it has a bit more veg to balance the salt. My son has the chicken kids meal and it was wonderful. Nice crisp skin, well cooked throughout, and tasty. Came with vegetables! Overall the place is pretty good but not good enough for the price.
The Terrace Restaurant at Mission Hill winery was the most perfect meal we enjoyed in the Okanagan. The service and scenery were outstanding, it was still the food that stood out, as it should, just as the gorgeous architecture of the winery stands out atop its lofty location. The food is not just good-for-the-Okanagan; it's downright awesome. If you only have time for one winery meal, this should be it, either on your way into or out of the Okanagan valley if you're coming from Vancouver. The only tricky part is that its hours are temperamental, or contingent upon the weather, since the restaurant is literally an outdoor terrace. Usually it's open only during the middle of the day. Call ahead and make a reservation.
This vineyard is absolutely beautiful and the views of the restaurant are unbelievable! We tried the white flight and the red flights of wines. They are quite small so I definitely wouldn't share them but all of the wines are incredible. I went with the oculus for dinner and it was amazing. I felt like the charcuterie was very small compare to other places so the price tag did not reflect the amount of food you got. For dinner we went with the sirloin for 2 - it's suppose to come medium we felt it was very rare, while all the food was very good it's food that's very expensive and you leave still hungry. I would say it's all about the experience here.
This is probably one of the most wonderful restaurant/wine experiences that I have had to date! The service, the ambiance, the wine and the food were all fantastic giving my friend and I an unforgettable experience. Upon entering we were greeted by the host and taken to our seats. We were blown away by the view overlooking the vineyards with the lake and the mountains in the backdrop. So beautiful! The restaurant has no windows but it does have adjustable screens to block out wind or rain on a cool day. Once we were seated, we were offered a complimentary 2 oz taste of their rosé wine. It was delicious and a wonderful aperitif before our lunch. Their menu is always changing depending what is in season. I ordered the scallops and squid on a bed of grilled vegies with chickpeas and my friend ordered the halibut and pork belly. We ordered the Mission Hill wine that is suggested to go with it as the food is still centered around the wine and we wanted to get the full experience. Before our meals came, we were offered fresh bread and butter as well as an elder-flower drink to cleanse the palate before eating. Both were delightful and the presentation was beautiful and detailed. Our mains arrived and were even more delicious than they looked. I have never had scallops and squid that were so soft and buttery that they almost melted in my mouth. The vegies and chickpeas were also very tasty and complimented the seafood. Even though the serving was a decent size, I still wanted more! I was able to try a bit of my friend's pork belly and oh. my. God. It was so delicious with the right amount of fat and salty goodness. She said that her halibut was also delicious. The wines we chose (I believe that they were rieslings) were also lovely and the flavour was enhanced with the food. To end we shared the lemon tart dessert with fresh blueberries and meringue. This was a heavenly rich dessert that didn't last very long between the two of us. It was also very beautifully presented. By the end we were very full and very satisfied. This was a real treat and I look forward to coming back again when I am in the area. When you are here visiting the winery, make a point of stopping in for lunch or dinner. So well worth it!
We did the 5 course chef tasting set menu. It was superb; not our first visit, and it's always refreshing to see a restaurant keep up the standard and not disappoint when you visit again. Located in arguably the best winery in the Okanagan, this place is a gem! The service and ambiance were outstanding! Kianna, our server did an amazing job. We will continue to return and enjoy this premier experience. read more

Great experience! We lucked out when we entered we were told we were the last reservation for the season! And Im glad we had the chance to try this great restaurant while we were in town. First off the location Mission Hill Estate winery is absolutely beautiful. We were blessed with perfect blue sky weather on mid October long weekend. I made reservation online through open table. I came here with high expectation due to some reviews Ive read, and it didn't disappoint. After our wine tour we were early for our reservations so we enjoyed the Mission Hills grounds and walked around. "The Terrance" is exactly that you feel like you were transformed somewhere in Italy having lunch with friends and family at someones beautiful terrance surrounded by a beautiful vinyard. Mind you, I don't know anyone rich enough to have that but its nice to dream sometimes... Its an outdoor restaurant only opened from spring to fall. Not a big restaurant so highly recommend making reservations, gets busy during summer season. Location was amazing but how was the food you ask.....that was amazing aswell. The server explained to us that most of the food is fresh, grown locally, and some even grown in the vineyard like the tomatoes that was used to make our tomato bisque soup. We started with an arugula salad with bacon, parmesan cheese, chicken con fit with a light oil dressing, warm tomato bisque soup. Its was a great way to start a meal. We paired it with a pino gris and merlot. For our mains we ordered. Sheared albacore tuna on top of a cucumber chopped salad, my husband had the steak topped with caramelized onions with a side salad. My tuna was cooked to perfection, it was light and the salad was refreshing a great meal after running a half marathon. Food was fantastic and so was the service. Overall a great experince. read more

The food here is excellent, unfortunately the service isn't. It's slow even when they're not busy and our server didnt really know the menu perhaps she was new. The view is unbelievable! The arugula salad is fantastic, a little salty from the cheese and chicken confit but very tasty and for small appetites, it would be enough to last til dinner. My Arctic char was perfectly cooked, crisp skin, the cous cous with chorizo added just enough spice to the dish! I'd definitely have this again although a little heavy for summer. The lung cod cheeks were also very good and for smaller appetites, came with lots of fresh grown on premise veggies. The Romenesca was very interesting, tastes like cauliflower but is green in color and pointy. To finish we shared the compressed melon desert with lime foam and basil pearls and it was a perfect way to finish off an incredible lunch!! Light and fresh. Yummmmmmm read more
A great sunny lunch spot with an amazing view surrounded by a gorgeous pillared space. It felt like I was in Italy! We started with the Lamb Merguez (type of sausage) with sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and a toast. The dish was incredibly flavourful and not gamey (I'm not a big fan of lamb so this was crucial for me!) For our entrees, we shared the Okanagan char and Smoked Beef Short Rib. The char was pan seared to perfection. The fish was flakey and light. It was accompanied with potatoes, beets and pickled carrots to give the dish a different texture and crunch. The smoked beef short rib was hearty and delicious. We were not expecting such a smoky/cured flavour and texture to the short rib and were expecting it to be the usual braised short rib style - it was still delicious regardless. We paired the entire meal with Mission Hill's Oculus reserve - which went perfectly with the lamb and beef! We finished off with the cream-filled peach tart with poached peaches and peach sorbet with crumble. Amazing. I can't get enough of these Okanagan peaches. read more

Such a great restaurant! We came here for lunch on our visit to the winery and we had such a great meal. It's called the Terrace because you are literally sitting on the terrace of the winery. If you get cold easily, I would suggest bringing a light scarf or something because it can get a bit cold in the shade with the wind blowing through. The views from the Terrace are fantastic and you get a great view of the vineyard. We ordered the cheese board and my hubby and I both ordered the fresh made pasta with wild shrimp (he ordered the tomato basil version and I got the butter and white wine version). The cheese board was fantastic. Each cheese came with a spread/sauce that paired perfectly with the cheese. The honey that came with the Brie is produced on-site (yes, they have their own honey bees!). The pasta was definitely the highlight of the meal. First of all, the portions were huge. We were definitely very full after our main meal. Both sauces were equally delicious and you could tell that the shrimp were very fresh (looked like spot prawns) and never frozen. They weren't stingy with the shrimp either! I'm salivating just thinking about it... The service was really great as well. Our server was attentive and made some light conversation which was appreciated. Overall, this restaurant was great and I'm DEFINITELY coming back next time we're in town! read more

Superb qualities in location, ambient mood, foods, wines and services. The view from this restaurant is heavenly and makes one forget passing of time. Perfect place to enjoy five star quality dishes after wine tasting. Reservation is must as number of tables are limited. read more
This is a fantastic restaurant in a beautiful setting overlooking the winery grounds as well as the Okanagan Valley. We had the preset Sunday dinner menu with wine pairings. The four course meal was one of the best I have had in a long time while the wine pairings were perfect. The prices of course are high but this is a must have on your trip to Kelowna so it's well with it. The service is on another level. After dinner you can enjoy a walk on their finely manicured gardens. read more

The Terrace at Mission Hill winery is a great restaurant. The food, the service, and the views can't be beat. The Legacy Flight red wine trio - their 3 best reds, 2 oz of each, is a great way to sample at a reasonable price. Make sure you try one of the deserts- we had the cheesecake, which has is nothing like a normal cheesecake, and it was great. This restaurant can be very expensive if you want it to be, but you can also get out for under $100 person, tax and tip included, and get one of the best meals you will ever have. Don't miss this place if you are in Kelowna. read more
