Diner Reviews

"Took some friends from Calgary for their anniversary while they were visiting, and couldn't have given them a better night. We lucked into the fact that a concert was playing in the amphitheatre at the same time, so combined with the beautifully prepared and presented food, the marvellous wines and the scenic patio, dinner was a huge hit!"

"We had the meatballs and meat & pickle sampler and the meatballs were bland. For the main course we ordered a pizza and it was greasy and very minimal toppings. If you were going for a garlic pizza, then that's what you should have called it. The best part of the meal was the dessert. The tiramisu was very good and the sponge toffee with chocolate pudding was also very good."

"Very friendly staff. Fabulous view. Lovely food presentation. Had roasted olives as appetizer probably best ever"

"There is a lot of hype around miradoro and so expectations were as high as the menu prices.The setting and the design of the room is excellent.However there were lots of little kids running around all evening with pizza allover the place and little adult supervision.The food is good but not spectacular.The service is enthusiastically amateur.The wait staff know little about the dishes on the menu nor the wines on the list which rather defeats the objective of a night in a high end winery restaurant.We had to ask twice for bread and when our main dishes arrived the food was placed on a table with no cutlery and we were asked if there was "anything else I can get for you?".........well yes a knife and a fork.!! Sonora room is much better."

"It was up to me to pick a place for lunch and the pressure was on as the other couple with my wife and I are true foodies. I hit it out of the ball park!"

"We have been there twice in the past four weeks. The food is good and the views are stunning!"

"Ate on the patio. Beautiful view and they keep you cool! Very relaxed atmosphere. Food has potential- had the halibut. Waaay too salty and questionable sides, but the restaurant and service and the 2011 cab franc made up for it. Recommended!"

"overcooked food, lacking in visual appeal and product freshness - nothing of the bright, summer environment. terrible waiter, no communication skills not aware of his customers"

"We've been here a few times, and always enjoy the experience and food. The view here simply can't be beat, it's spectacular. On our last visit I had the Tuna in a can appetizer, and the Elk with smoked faro for the main, my wife had the chef's 3 course tasting menu. I really enjoyed the tuna app, but wasn't a fan of my Elk main, most notably the smoked faro. The smokiness of the faro overpowered everything else on the plate, it was just too much. If you like the smell of a forest fire, and always wished you could eat a forest fire, then this would be a dish for you. I finished my meal with the chocolate budini, which is always awesome, love this Miradoro dessert!! My wife really enjoyed all her plates, and we'll be back again."

"the two of us were sat under a leaky pipe that splattered me and my food in the corner of the patio. there was garbage (tape ripped from a cardboard box) at the entrance when i walked in. it was still there 10 minutes later when i went to wash my hands in the washroom. no air conditioned options for seating in 40 degrees celcius!! asked for ice water three times and was kept waiting. worst birthday ever for $200 :( nice view - except for the forest fire. only one dip for our facaccia bread so we had to share it"

"We've dined at a number of Okanagan wineries over the years, but this was our first time to a Tinhorn Creek. It won't be our last!"

"My wife and I ordered the chef's special....it was not special. I think he was trying to do too much, or something. There were little gems, like the hand crafted pasta on the main chicken dish, but only about 8 pieces of that. The chicken...meh. The appy was pretty good, better than expected for farmed fish. The desert was an unfortunate blueberry tart. The crust...bulletproof...the blueberries...dessicated to tastelessness. It was sugary. But I expected, and paid, for more."
Dined on 7/6/2014
"The atmosphere was great & it was a hot evening so we got a great seat with a view on the patio. But I have to say, as fancy & renowned as this place was, it was not even close to the best place we ate at during our trip. The wines were not very fantastic, for one. But more so, the recommended wine & food pairings which I went with from the menu were really not that great paired with the food. The food was okay on its own, but there was some element that didn't go very well with it. I had the Elk steak and with smoked farro. The smokey farro wasn't my cup of tea. The elk was cooked well but it was a bit much for me. The budino for dessert sounded great on the menu but just ended up being a chocolate pudding. I expected more."

"There are better places in the valley for dinner. We found it to be quite loud and the service not up to snuff"

"This was our second visit to Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek Winery and just like the first visit, the food and service were outstanding. It's hard to beat the beautiful view of the valley and miles of vineyards, from the restaurants lovely deck. What better way to cap off a day of wine tasting, than to enjoy an exquisite dinner artfully presented in a beautiful environment. We would highly recommend checking out the Tinhorn Creek winery, and a night out at Miradora if you're visiting the Okanagan's wine country. I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

"We arrived the evening of Fathers' Day fearing it would be crowded and noisy. It was not. We ordered the three course tasting menu with accompanying wines. Their tasting menu features seasonal foods. That day it featured zucchini blossoms stuffed with halibut and new potatoes , duck with young vegetables, followed by a little new rhubarb in the dessert. All were excellent. And the wine pairings were exceptional. Excellent service was also paired with a very pleasant ambiance."

"We dined here last year and loved it so much that we brought 2 other couples with us this year (from Vancouver) and we all left there saying "wow!". We ate at 2 other wineries in the area this year, but Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek was a hands-down favorite (as it was last year, too). Both the food and service were fantastic!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
"Our group of four was in the Okanagan for a three day wine tour. We had not previously been to this restaurant and so put it on the list. The restaurant is large and modern with lots of windows to showcase the views. Everything we ordered was superb. The thin crust pizzas are outstanding and made a great appetizer for sharing. Everyone in our group ordered a different main course, from halibut to pasta and we all savoured every mouthful. The presentation, quality of ingredients and eating experience in this restaurant will have us coming back. "

"We had one of the best dinners we have had in the last few years. This is a place for those that are looking for some of the best food and wine in the valley. The chef uses local produce and is very creative. A must for foodies. The view from the restaurant is the best in the valley. "

"Food and service at the restaurant were great. However, parking was a problem. To Miradoro - In the future, please reserve parking spots for your patrons if there is a conflicting event at the winery. Or at least, advise your patrons of the other event and give them the option to choose another evening (a quieter one) to come for dinner. We had done the Half Corked that day (18km), were dressed up for dinner (heels and sundresses) so did not appreciate parking down the hill and then walking up."

"The restraunt is situated in a very appealing setting with beautiful views. The servers very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very appealing. I found some of the food pricey for what you receive. A place for special occasions."

"With its breathtaking view, great food and exceptional service this is definitely a place I would dine at again, our experience was made that much better when the owner offered us an exceptional bottle of wine from his private collection to enjoy with our meal. Thank you for a great evening."

"This is the second time we had visited the Miradoro from the UK. the view is awesome and the food is delicious. we will be back next time we are in the Okanagan"

"I went with my boyfriend to Mirado, excited to try the five course tasting dinner and was not let down by the quality of food, every course was delicious, and I found out made by the sous chef (as the head chef was away). What let us down was the service. We were at a vineyard, and the server had to be asked what type of wines she had paired with the food more than once. This was such a letdown, as we were hoping to learn more about their wines, and what notes had made her pair them with the food. Because of her limited explanation of the food and wine, we gave her an 18% tip ( which seemed quite fair at that point) and she looked offended that she had not received more not very professional! Overall: spectacular food, sub-par service"

"We ate here on a Saturday and we were so impressed with the food and service, we came back again the next day with our friends. One of the things we like about dining at Miradoro is that all menu items have a suggestive wine pairing, we especially like this. Defiantly we will be back "
Dined on 5/18/2014
"Miradoro is a beautiful venue, however would not even pay 1/2 the price for what they were charging for the food. Had the 3 course meal with wine pairings. Bait & Switch venison with duck. Don't understand the dehydrated root vegetable side dish. The vegetables were not eaten. The only thing good was the appetizer. Dessert was a ricotta block with jam and pears; tasteless. "
Dined on 5/17/2014
"Dinning in this restaurant is simply refreshing, the restaurant is not pretensious the service is great, in saying that all the severs are generally happy to be working. The food is always fantastic and you truly get what you pay for, maybe even more. I would highly recommend Miradoro to anyone and we will be back"

"ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC - great food - great wine - fantastic view "
Dined on 5/11/2014
"Miradoro is a must visit along the Okanagan Wine Route. Truly inspired menu's changing regularly to keep it interesting. We've been back yearly and will continue to return every time we visit the Okanagan. Best plan for a visit is the Tin Horn Creek tasting room prior to dinner. There are also concert series held here that look incredible. They did very well with difficult food allergies also. "

"We booked on a Tue in the shoulder season. We were informed that it was a Communal dinner. The menu was fixed and the food was served family style. The salad was delightful esp the nettles and the beef was tender. The wine bathed risotto was wonderfful once you got past the purple color. The price was extremely reasonable"

"The view, the wine, the great service, Miradoro is always outstanding. Manny and his team do a very good job of making everyone feel special and welcome."

"When we arrived at 8:00 PM, the place was full and noisy (high ceilings!). We were seated right away however the subsequent service was very slow. Our first waitress offered water and then was gone. A kind gentleman (who might have been in charge?) ended up being our waiter and was very helpful and stopped by frequently. The food took a while so I suspect they were short of staff either in the kitchen and/or on the floor. The food was excellent and the wine outstanding!"
Dined on 4/19/2014
"Lovely location overlooking vineyards. Menu options somewhat limited; however, food nicely presented and very tasty, especially the "Winter Greens" salad. Staff very pleasant and helpful and the service was well-paced. Our wine selection a little disappointing but adequate. Overall an enjoyable experience. I would recommend this restaurant for its Okanagan wine country cuisine and scenic view."
Dined on 3/30/2014
"I love this restaurant. Surprisingly for such a big wine town, there are only a few nice places in Oliver . But Miradoro is a gem. Great menu that highlights sophistication merged with rustic fare. Prices are standard for the quality, The service is always attentive and informed, and while you are waiting for your meal the view is captivating. I am looking forward to the Communal table on Tuesdays nights this year, and hope to attend a concert or two! Recommend this restaurant if you want to impress out-of-town guests."
