BLOCK ONE Restaurant at 50th Parallel Winery

WOW!! Just the best meal. Happy hour and we were basking right in the sun. Alex was absolutely DEVINE. So sweet and knowledgeable and incredible. Positively outstanding experience. The scallops with the pork belly is easily one of the very best appies I’ve ever had! Thank you and see you next time.

The food and staff are always amazing at One Block!

Food was fantastic. Drinks were great. Views are amazing!!

Staff was great. Alex was accommodating with a great depth of knowledge of product. Excellent service!

we celebrated my husband Birthday with some very dear close friends and received excellent service from Jenny Christy and Mark Gilmore. All the servers are trained professionals and it is a delight to be at their table. They take pride in welcoming you, making you feel comfortable and as ' so called return customers', it is always a treat to be greeted with a radiant smile. The outside patio is perfect for our most recent situation. we can't say enough to our friends about the quality of food, beverages and last but certainly not least the great service of Jenny, Mandie and Mark and the rest of the crew! We can't wait to come back...soon

Great menu choices. Excellent oysters. Patio dining with heater. Felt safe and welcoming.

Warm welcome, nice setting with accommodating staff.

Wife’s birthday. Three of us for dinner. Second time at 50th Parallel. Service was excellent as was the food - prepared and presented perfectly. Charcuterie and cheese board and selection of breads to start were tasty - lovely selection of cheeses and accompanying meats, spreads and mustard. Entrees were amazing and the one dessert was enjoyed.

The food and service were excellent! The best part of dining here is the view!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, phenomenal food, and of course superb wine. Will be back!!

Easter brunch on the patio! It was lovely on the patio and of course the food was absolutely delicious and the wine outstanding. So glad we were able to go to the patio during Covid restrictions, made the day even more special.

2 of us ordered the crab and avocado eggs benny and it was very cold. I understand the crab and avocado are cold items, but when we ordered extra hollandaise it came cold as well. I did enjoy the salad and potato cake that came with it.

We went to Block One for Easter brunch and despite all the restrictions, they did not disappoint. We have a nice safe table by a heater on the patio and were nice and warm. The food was very good and I had the crab, avocado benedict and my wife had the fried chicken with everything perfectly cooked and served hot (can be a challenge on a patio).
We appreciate Block One's and other local restaurants ability to pivot and respond in these challenging times. Being able to go out to eat and feel safe is important these days.

Didn’t care for the burger I had, which was the same comment for two other people who had the same burger.

Menu was reduced which was something I didn’t expect.

Overall, didn’t feel the price matched the quality of food and service.

But the passion fruit dessert was fun and delicious

Service was absolutely amazing. Valentines was such a great dinner we had to come back. Sadly or food was less than satisfactory the second time around. The mushroom Capaletti was sounding great after the amazing gnocchi we had on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately we missed the Crusted Sweetbreads at the end of the menu item as part of the dish. They were awful, the texture was poor and the taste off putting. Google was able to describe what I was eating, I could not. What totally saved the day was the grace of our server Jenny who was fabulous. When she asked how are meal was, we told her honestly that it was not at all to our liking. She immediately offered to let us order something else off of the menu and very kindly did not charge us for the uneaten items. Based solely on service we will likely try it again, I understand the menu is changing.

I had an excellent visit to your restaurant! The food was out of this world! Absolutely exceptional! The staff went over and above to make our time there superb!!!!

It was great that the winery was open for food service. Our waiter was very friendly and all staff adhered to all covid protocols.

I think the experience was especially pleasant because we were seated at a corner table, in a sunny warm inviting location in the restaurant.

Our favourite dining experience in the Okanogan by far. The service is next level and the environment feels remote but lively at the same time.

Love this restaurant great food and ambiance !

At first, I went in for the experience. I ended up loving everything. Food was fresh and amazing. Their cheese choices are the best as well.

Always enjoy Block One! Food is so tasty. Duck confit was cooked to perfection. So nice to have a patio to go to while even my own restaurant is shut down, definitely will be continue to visit as often as we can :)

Food and service were good. I found the price of wine to be extremely high for a winery. There is an almost 100% mark up on wine so something that sells for $35 in the wine shop is being sold for $63 in the restaurant. I probably wouldn't return for this reason.

Another wonderful night out at Block One!

Great experience we enjoyed ourselves very much. Great service and food

Second visit - even more amazing. Had the Wagyu steak, perfection. Fantastic service, ambiance and wine as well.

We had an amazing time, especially with the food! The drive is so worth it; the location and views are breath-taking!

Best place in the Okanagan!

Shared Oysters (the best!!) Soup, crab cakes and cappelletti and the Rose, Pino Gris and Unparalleled Pinot Noir - all fabulous! Would recommend!!

Excellent food and service. Loved the location. Thank you.

Did a great job of social distancing tables. Felt safe. Food excellent tho smidgen overpriced. Ambience a bit pretentious, chandeliers a bit over the top. But I guess u need to differentiate yourselves. I'd go back.

Completely ‘wowed’ us. Heard this was a great place, truly was outstanding!

We were in town staying at Sparkling Hills Resort. Unfortunately the food at the resort was very disappointing so we came to Block One for a better food experience. Our server was exceptional. The food was fantastic. Loved the steak! Thank-you.

Fantastic experience. Conor and Alex were hospitable, knowledgable, friendly and attentive. Perfect ambiance, beautiful view, delicious meal. Look forward to our next visit.

Fantastic Sunday Brunch! Had Cloudcakes and Pork Belly Eggs Benny. Both were delicious. Server was friendly and attentive.

Fantastic experience. Great venue and fun venue, excellent staff, wine and food.

Wonderful meal and fantastic service. Highly recommend.
