We ordered the Tomahawk steak with starter bread for my husband's birthday dinner. It was absolutely amazing! The service was friendly and very attentive. We will definitely be going back! Highly recommend:)

About the restaurant

At Home Block Restaurant, we embrace the bounty of the Okanagan while our name pays homage to the Home Block Vineyard which surrounds us. Our building is crafted from fieldstone and 100-year-old reclaimed barn wood and our cuisine draws on those elemental roots. We integrate natural cooking methods like our wood-fired grill fueled by timber from local orchards and seasoned barrel staves. The result is honest, confident, and approachable food that unites flawlessly with CedarCreek wine.

We love Home Block. The ambience is perfect, the staff are always very attentive - we had Stephanie who was so knowledgeable and engaging. We had the calamari and burrata to start… as usual, did not disappoint. I had the branzino which was underwhelming - no flavour whatsoever. My husband and son at the Bavette (steak). It was going to be served medium rare but my husband asked for medium. Our son enjoyed his ‘as is’ but it was too rare from a texture standpoint. But that’s us. We had the desserts to go but did share the chocolate mousse which was divine. Will definitely be back!

About the restaurant

If the valley prospers, we prosper. Everything you see on the terrace menu is homemade, grown in the estate's garden or produced locally with our agricultural partners. Chef Patrick's philosophy is that if it grows together, it goes together, which is why we offer wines from the same region to accompany your meal.

The restaurant was very quiet in the off season, but we were treated like royalty, nevertheless. Every detail of the meal was carefully attended to, creative, original and completely delicious. This is a special place we would highly recommend to anyone!
