Whenever we go on our winecation with our friends B&K, we always include a "fancy night out" with a wine dinner at one of the restaurants in the area. For our trip in June, I had my eyes on the 112-year-old Naramata Inn.
West Oak recently celebrated its 5th anniversary in the Yaletown neighbourhood. As a follow-up, Areta, Alice and I were invited to a hosted dinner at the restaurant. We tried some new cocktails, a couple of appetizers, three entrees and a couple of side dishes, and shared a dessert.
Imagine you arrived at a restaurant where the exterior was all wrapped up so you couldn't see the inside, and all you could see was the LED marquee sign by the door. Then, as you were led into the restaurant the interior décor made you feel like you entered a night club, and you started thinking to yourself, what the heck did I get myself into?! That's kind of how I felt when I went to 0755 Restaurant and Lounge in Richmond. And then we were all pleasantly surprised.
While we were in the Okanagan, of course Hester Creek wasn't the only winery we visited. On this trip, we ventured out to Summerland, specifically the Bottleneck Drive area, and we discovered Evolve Cellars.
Since its opening last year, I've been to WildTale three times. First, I took my bridesmaids there after the wedding last summer; then, my family and I went there for Dine Out just this past January. And now, I was invited by the restaurant to try some of its menu items. It's hard to believe it's taken three visits before a blog post about this restaurant.
