About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

Modern Vineyard Cuisine inspired by our Indigenous roots. We proudly sit on the traditional land of the Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation. Our inspiration for the name of our new signature restaurant comes from a chaptik story passed down through the generations of our First Nations people of the Okanagan.
The Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation approach to food is based on the creation stories of their culture and we’ve taken their stories as the inspiration for the name of our restaurant: “The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The Berry,” based on the story of the Four Food Chiefs.
The Four Food Chiefs are central: Skimxist Black Bear (chief of animals, representing self-sacrifice, leadership, giving), Ntytikxw Chinook Salmon (water creatures, perseverance, hard work), Speetlum Bitterroot (plants below the round, relationships to the land) and Seeya Saskatoon Berry (plants above ground, growth, strength, community) are legendary and the elements of indigenous cuisine.

The cod and the ribs were excellent. Bone marrow was good but there wasn’t much of it for the price. Service was decent. Casual atmosphere inside.

Fantastic food! Third time I've eaten here and the food does not disappoint. We sat outside, it was hot being summer, but not many outside so it was quiet. Great service as well.

Service was slow. Charcuterie was lacking, $42 for minimal, basic ingredients. This place has great potential with the location and views. Won’t be back!

Food was delicious, service was ok. Our server disappeared for quite some time and our main course took quite some time.
The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The BerryResponded on June 24, 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry the service felt inconsistent and that your seating was uncomfortable—especially with the delay in receiving cushions. The storm did create some unexpected challenges, but we should have ensured your comfort from the beginning. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will follow up with our team to prevent this from happening again.

Food was very good. Some things fantastic like the seafood chowder. The $32 salad was good but a ridiculous price for a root vegetable salad! Service was very poor and scattered for a high-end restaurant. Came to table with drinks and food asking who ordered what items, reached across us to put things down. Asked if we wanted to keep our cutlery between courses but took away plates so cutlery ended up directly on table. Started clearing plates before all of us finished eating at our table. Views from patio were great but the outdoor chairs need proper fitting cushions. Was a bit disappointed by the interior ambiance. Just felt like they took part of the lobby and put tables in. Overall good but not as great as I expected especially for price!
The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The BerryResponded on June 24, 2025
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear you enjoyed the seafood chowder and some of the dishes stood out, but we’re truly sorry the service and overall experience didn’t meet expectations. The issues you mentioned—particularly around service flow, cutlery handling, and pacing—are not in line with the level of hospitality we aim to deliver, and we’ll be addressing them directly with our team. We also appreciate your comments on seating comfort and ambiance, both indoors and out, as we continue to refine the guest experience. Your input is invaluable as we work toward better consistency and polish.

It was alright - presentation was immaculate, flavors and overall execution was lacking in polish that the setting portrayed. Service was scattered, confusing and forced. Ambience was the strong point, followed by presentation and ideology behind the menu. 6.5/10 - requires finishing touches to shine.
The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The BerryResponded on June 23, 2025
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback. We’re glad the ambience and presentation stood out, and we appreciate your recognition of the vision behind the menu. Your comments on service and execution are noted—we’ll be taking a closer look to refine these areas and bring the full experience up to the level we aim for.
