“I had my birthday dinner here and was delighted with the choice we made. It was a genuine 5-star experience from the atmosphere to the service to the food (oh, the food, incredible flavours!!) and the beverages!
Our server, Ethan, was the perfect blend of attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, while also giving us time and space to enjoy our meal and conversation. It was a stellar evening out and worth every penny (I felt we got value because everything was excellent - yes, value, even in this economy). We’ll definitely be back! Thanks, Ethan and team HUMO.”

“Lovely little cafe in Kelowna. It was quite busy when I went on a Sunday morning, so expect to wait in line. Seating is quite limited too.
Their iced latte was great. There's oat milk as a vegan/plant-based milk alternative, for a small surcharge. They offer espresso and pour-over tastings, but unfortunately they were fully booked for the day we went. They serve vegan and gluten-free baked goods from the Big Fat Lion Bakeshop. The chocolate chip banana muffin was great.”

From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. She went above and beyond by getting us a great table in the lounge and let us know she had seated us in one of her favourite server’s sections, which turned out to be an excellent recommendation!
Sweden checked in on us throughout the evening to make sure everything was going well, and to top it all off, she surprised our girls with a sweet treat. That thoughtful gesture was the icing on the cake and made our night even more memorable!
Thank you, Sweden for your outstanding hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!”

“We have known Home Block at CedarCreek for a very long time. While we noticed a slight dip in their standards during the COVID-19 years, I am thrilled to report that this year, they have not only fully recovered but have reached an even higher peak of culinary excellence.
As part of the Mission Hill family, Home Block brilliantly carves out its own identity. Instead of the grand, classical design of its sister winery, it embraces a stunning contemporary aesthetic. The sense of space inside is incredible, but the outdoor patio is where the magic truly happens. The views are absolutely spectacular—we sat outside yesterday for lunch and were so lost in the beautiful atmosphere that we ended up chatting for over three hours without even noticing the time.
Their 5-course Chef's menu is brilliant, especially for those of us whose lifestyle skips dinner. Being able to experience a full Chef's tasting menu at lunchtime is a rare and welcome treat! The absolute showstopper for me was the house-made pasta—it was nothing short of perfection and left us completely amazed.
While my husband and I are teetotalers (non-drinkers), our wine-loving friends couldn't stop raving about the wine pairing. Apparently, the restaurant pairs the courses with rare library reserves that you cannot even buy at the winery boutique, which adds an elite touch for wine enthusiasts.
Between the spectacular views, the breathtaking contemporary architecture, and world-class food, Home Block has firmly re-established itself as a top-tier destination in the Okanagan. Exceptional execution all around!”

“We had the 3 course meal ($99/person) for our anniversary dinner. The suggested wine pairings were perfect. We loved the Rielsing.
For starters, the Burrata was amazing, but the squid was just okay. Notably it was deep fried. For mains, we loved the shrimp pasta, but the cod (deep fried) was again just okay. The desserts were perfect, we had the vanilla ice cream and the fruit dessert.
The experience was 10/10, and it's perfect for a special meal. As expected it is expensive and our total bill pre tip was $228.”

The cake design perfectly matched our Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatter theme, and we received a ton of compliments on how delicious our cake and tarts were from our guests. Our wedding cake was carrot flavored and it was the best carrot cake I have ever had. She also worked well with our decorator and planner. Thank you for making our day special.”

“Hubby and I had our first Triple O Burger. The Bacon Cheddar Burger is one of the best burgers I have had in years. This burger beats any other fast food burger outlets. The fries are not your regular fries and have a totally different taste. I would strongly recommend you try Triple O's for your next burger stop.”

“After a long day on the road, my friend and I stopped here for a quick dinner. We were lucky enough to come on a Wednesday when they were serving their Date Night specials, which was a great surprise!
The highlight of our visit was our server, Hope. She was such a sweetheart, incredibly welcoming, and so knowledgeable about the menu. Her kind, genuine service was the reason I felt compelled to leave a review. It’s not often you come across someone who makes you feel so well taken care of. Thank you, Hope, for making the end of our long day so much better. We will definitely be back!”

“High Tea experience inspired by Alice in Wonderland 🫖🐇 We had such a lovely time 🌸 There were six of us, and everything from start to finish was wonderful. The three-tiered trays were beautifully presented and filled with a delicious variety of savory sandwiches, delicate pastries, and sweet treats—every single bite was amazing. The whimsical theme really brought the whole experience to life, making it feel like we had stepped right down the rabbit hole. On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Such a fun and memorable experience—we’ll definitely be back! ✨”

“This ice cream is hands down the best!!! We tried the one in Kelowna and ended up going back every day because it was so good! Honestly every flavor was a hit, even VANILLA. Not a vanilla person but their vanilla is so so good! Now we are back in Alberta and discovered that there is a location in Calgary JACKPOT just drove 2 hours to get ice cream because it is that good! Favourite flavors: Lavender, Pistachio, Ube, and Tiramisu. You will not regret it!”
Buffet • $$
“First, we had a snag with customer service however it was quickly rectified and we started getting some food. It was incredible. Very hot, fresh and we came for my daughters' birthdays (6&8). We almost left right off the hop but we decided to continue.
We all enjoyed our food, and everyone was very kind after that. One of the employees saw someone had dropped a larger bill of cash and he ran after the customers to return it! He was also so kind and polite.
We left for the washroom though and when we came back (my kids take a long time, maybe 7 mins) all our food and plates were gone. Kind of a shame as they close in 30 minutes and our bill is $120 for two kids and two adults. Worth it if you're hungry and have time. Honestly though, well worth it! The food was AWESOME. The last buffet we went to it was gross (in another province) with frozen food. This was so very good and fresh.
Parents should also watch their young kids while getting food as we watched a boy pick up jello off his plate and throw it back in to the pile of jello. :/
Not the restaurant's fault but we decided on no jello after that. 😂 Overall, great. But kind of a waste of food to throw our plates out while we were in the washroom. Only my brother was at the table and they handed him the bill (I'm paying).”

“I've visited Tamm a few times over 4 years, and the service is always good, and the food is always amazing. The attached Latin market is fun and full of wonderful treats, and we're there regularly for chorizo. Today, we had lunch on Harvey, visited the market (which has expanded!), then visited the new shop in Rutland. Now we don't have to go all the way to town to get our chorizo from the freezer!”

You can really taste the freshness. The staff were very friendly and helpful in guiding us to choose the right drink. I highly recommend this place for fresh and healthy juices.”
