Review Home Block At Cedarcreek Estate Winery - Kelowna

We had an amazing anniversary dinner here. The staff was very attentive. We booked an early dinner was able to get a patio seating. The bruschetta and squid was an amazing start paired with their sparking Rosé. For mains we got the steak and the duck, both cooked to perfection. For end the meal we had their cream puff and sticky toffee pudding which surprised me in a good way, it was light and not overly sweet. Will definitely come back!

For the most part, the food was very delicious, but could use some improvements with presentation and some minor details. The crispy squid, lamb appetizer, pork belly and prawns, as well as the sticky toffee pudding were all really enjoyable. However, a few of us ordered the ny strip steak for an extra $15, but taste wise, we didn’t think it was worth the extra cost. As well, I had ordered an Apple Mille feuille dessert that came with fennel sprinkled all over, which I thought was a strange choice. In addition, when booking for our larger group, little to no efforts were made to accommodate. Our initial interaction over the phone left us slightly frustrated, only to be followed by a similar interaction in-person. Considering the price, I would expect more thoughtful service. That being said, our wait staff were excellent and made great wine pairing recommendations. As someone who has dinned here a number of times, my recommendation is to come during the lunch service to enjoy the view and more reasonable pricing. Overall, I would suggest trying out Home Block if you’re ever visiting the Okanagan! :)

Nice restaurant with nice views of Kelowna. Starter is extremely impressive with the assorted deep fried fish and vegetables. Bruschetta was one of the best I have ever tried, and led to excitement toward the main. The mains while it’s still great, it’s lacking a bit of surprise element like the starters did. I find the steak has a bit too strong of the char flavour to my liking. Cod was good.

The ambience at this place is wonderful! The staff are supportive, happy, and provide excellent service. Wines are very tasty! Food's quality was great as well. However, the dishes may not have the special garnish seen in the pictures. One point of confusion was that the price is $55 per person, excluding any additional charges for the wines you order. This led to a misunderstanding, and we ended up paying double what we initially calculated for each of us. There is a sense of things coming and leaving quickly on your table, creating a slight feeling of rush. Despite this, overall, it is definitely worth giving this place a try.

The food was so good. We did the lunch 2 course menu. Very impressed that the menu changes every day and that everything is locally sourced and paired with a wine. The service was so good as well. The waitress was very attentive and it was so nice to see the kitchen working harmoniously. Ambience was gorgeous with a phenomenal view. I will definitely be putting this on my must visit list again and again

Had an amazing experience for a corporate event here a few nights ago. The service is simply excellent and the food is very delicious. We chose to go with a five course meal called trust the chef. My only complaint is I wish they did not cover the prime rib with so much horseradish. Really enjoyed the wine selection that was recommend with each course.

Beautiful, attached to the winery restaurant, overlooking Okanagan Lake. It offers a wine pairing dinner menu, highly recommend checking it out!

We came up for the wine paired 3 course dinner and absolutely loved our meal. 6 of us went together and the service and food were great. We had the burrata and prosciutto to start for the table- it was delicious! I chose the feature starter which was a beef carpaccio and then the bass for dinner while others had the artichokes to start and the duck for dinner. Overall it was a delightful evening with great wine suggestions and pairings and delicious food. This is our third time coming to Home Block and it certainly won’t be our last. The only downside was the tasting room and retail options were closed due to the time. We finished dinner around 7:30pm. It would have been nice to get a bottle or two that we had tried during dinner to bring home with us.

After doing a wonderful tasting this afternoon we called when we got home to see if we could get in for dinner tonight. They were able to get us in. Dinner was delicious. We had the 3 course with the wine pairing. They had a few additional items not on the menu which was great as being a pescatarian there is only so many things I would have. They had options to modify my meal as well as I wasn’t a fan of olives or squid oil. It was all delicious. Home Block never disappoints! Would highly recommend.

Great 2 course lunch with wine pairing! Really delicious and fresh food using local ingredients! Great service and beautiful view over the lake. Well worth a visit as the actual buildings are really lovely architecturally and designed!

Wow what a delicious lunch. Our server, Will, made the experience even more delightful. He was so attentive, friendly and helpful. He really made the experience for us. Make a rezo as the manager seemed irritated we didn’t have one. The downside was our bottle of rose was $85 compared to $40 in the tasting room. Seemed like quite a price gouge for 10 steps away.

Some highs and lows at Home Block. The highs were the apps and the desserts. We started with the calamari and the bruschetta which were both really well done. The chocolate ganache and toffee pudding at the end were delicious. The mains were a little disappointing. The beef was fairly fatty, came cold and the arugula underneath was overpowering. The pasta was good, but the pancetta was overpowered by a very rich sauce. Lastly, the pricing was also a little rich. $95 for a three course meal with wine pairing isn’t bad, but all the little add ons can be annoying. $15 more for the beef, $10.5 more for a normal sized glass of wine etc. For a dinner that was double the price of others we had in Kelowna, we would recommend checking out the latter first.

Had our 2 year anniversary and 5 course tasting, which was our standing. Carley served us and needs more than 5 stars for her knowledge on the wines and service.

Every time we have been here the experience has been amazing. Even came in on a random lunch and the Chef cooked my father in law a steak that wasn't on the menu to make him happy. Did the Paired Experience with 5 courses and it couldn't stop thinking about the food and wine for days after. Highly recommend eating here especially after a tasting at Cedar Creek next door.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here at the start of spring and then crossed over to the Winery side for the soiree of Rose. The interior was beautiful and the food was delicious. We went for the chef's lunch with wine pairings. 👌🏽
