Sonora Room Restaurant — Restaurant in Area C (Inkaneep/Willowbrook)

Two of us enjoyed a relaxed lunch while on vacation in the region. We started with a wine tasting at the winery, then strolled over for our reservation for lunch. The restaurant was only about 1/4 full since it was a weekday, but there's ample seating indoors and outdoors for many groups and smaller seating arrangements. We couldn't sit on the patio due to some high wind, but our seat right at the windows made for a wonderful view of the vineyard and surrounding terrain.

The wine list is, as one would expect, very good. We selected a bottle from the "library" of Burrowing Owl bottles unavailable elsewhere -- in our case, a 2014 Chardonnay. We drank half and took the rest out with us.

We shared the warm olives as a starter, which were better than any I've had elsewhere -- and a super-generous portion. Lemon, garlic and rosemary make these quite tasty. Our server recommended a half order of the breads, and we're glad she did -- it was all quite delicious.

Mains were equally delicious and generous. I had the char, which was done to perfection. We splurged and shared a dessert -- carrot cake -- which turned out to be a nice little portion full of flavours (deconstructed carrot cake, plus house-made ginger ice cream).

Is it cheap? No. But the views, the impeccable service, and the delicious meal make it worth a visit. In fact, we're already counting the weeks til...

Starting off with saying that our meal was delicious and our service was good. The poor rating comes from not being able to take part in the chef's 6 course tasting menu. I believe it was sometime in May that I booked dinner for three on August 2nd. Shortly after booking I messaged the Sonora Room via the reservation platform they used. I inquired about taking part in the chef's 6 course tasting menu and was informed that that would be possible and nothing was needed at that point as the menu was still being developed. Then closer about two weeks before the reservation I checked in again via the reservation platform and staff assured me that we'd be able to take part in the 6 course tasting menu. So I was quite surprised and disappointed when we arrived for our meal and asked to do the tasting menu and told it was not being offered. I tried to reach out to the Sonora Room staff member that I was communicating with online to see what the disconnection was but I never...

We had an incredible late lunch dining experience here overlooking the estate and Osoyoos Valley. Beef Carpaccio to start paired with Athene was one of the best culinary experiences that my senses have experienced in a while. The textures and flavours of the tapioca crisp and crunchy parmesan, juxtaposed with perfectly sliced carpaccio and shimeji mushrooms with fresh herbs blew me away. The Pea, Mint, and Lemon Risotto was a perfect fresh, summertime lunch main. Paired lovingly with the Estate Sauvignon Blanc took the dish to the next level. We couldn’t leave without having some fresh Sorbet and Ice cream to cap our experience off and boy am I glad we did. I had a taste of the rich Dulce de Leche Ice Cream, and the fresh Raspberry Sorbet but barely let my parter get near the scoop of Lemon Sorbet because it was too good! I can’t say enough about how welcomed we felt and how warm, friendly, and hospitable the staff were. Thank you to the whole team for...
