Feedback
After a couple of amazing wine lunches around Kelowna, Burrowing Owl's Sonora restaurant was disappointing. We started in the tasting room with the grumpiest hostess possible, she could barely bring herself to speak to us never mind smile. Sour grapes for sure. We then walked over to the restaurant and we were forcibly told to wait for Toni. Toni eventually arrived and seated us at a nice enough table on the outside terrace with a view of the vines, a swimming pool and an enormous white storage cylinder (?). The quiche and salad was actually really nice, and the tuna salad also decent. The rose and 2006 Chardonnay were pretty decent too. The service was poor and the ambience a bit odd, it didn't feel restful or enjoyable so we skipped desert and left
This is such a well laid out winery setting. It has beautiful villas and well stocked wine shop. The Sonora room resteraunt is beautifully laid out. We were seated on the patio and the view is spectacular. The menu is somewhat limited but the food was really well prepared. We had lunch there and I had the quiche it was very good. Friends had the corned beef sandwich which looked delicious. The drink menu was good a little pricey it oh well. The have a local craft beer on tap from the firehall brewery so that was awesome. This is a great place with friends or a romantic evening.
A lovely patio overlooking the vineyards and the mountains. Bathe service was excellent. Our server, a young lady from Finland, couldn't have been better: five stars for her. We shared the prawns followed by the scallops and sable fish, finishing off with the chocolate dessert. All excellent. My only criticism is that the choice of white wines is not great.
Great views from the outdoor eating area. Exceptional service by our waiter, Eric. Enjoyed our fine dining experience.
