A hidden gem. The drinks and food are great. It seems there is a different drink menu each night. The tapas is exquisite. Staff are attentive. Music was a little loud if you are there with friends and hoping for a chinwag.

Winery

Kelowna

About the restaurant

The name BLOCK ONE represents the first vineyard planted in 2009 and is very special to
Proprietors Sheri-Lee and Curtis. “It taught us to be farmers; to be ONE with the land. There are things we will never experience again. That vineyard block represents the past – the starting point, getting our
hands dirty, all the ‘firsts’ of our business”. BLOCK ONE represents the future as this vineyard block now produces some of the estate’s finest fruit for our international award-winning wines. You will be amazed by the outdoor seating area of the restaurant. Seating is covered by an engineering wonder in a one-of-a-kind cantilever that is already drawing attention in the world's architectural community. The restaurant moves to an equally impressive indoor space during inclement days and in the winter months.

All groups of 6 and larger are subject to an auto-gratuity of 20%.

Pour first time to Block One following a recommendation from a friend/ We were there on a Wednesday for lunch so the option was the Small Bites menu. The Margherita pizza was great, but also just enough for the two of us, so we didn't have room for anything else. The wine of course was wonderful as well. Next time we're in Kelowna we will make some time to go for dinner.

About the restaurant

The Curious Café opened in November 2014 and is located in the heart of Kelowna's cultural district. Since then, The Curious has been serving both quality interpretations of classic dishes and daring new ventures into the uncharted territories of food.
The Curious interior, designed by proprietor Luigi Coccaro and designer Rhonda Lebedoff, reflects the hip sensibilities urban area's while also paying tribute to Kelowna's storied past. Adding to the mystique of the setting is the location's history, as it used to be a run-down tobacco shop, now transformed into a warm hang out.
The multi-room restaurant offers the choice to eat comfortably on the café side where one may watch the art of cooking as it occurs in the open-kitchen room or sit on the community table side where 24 beers flow from our rotating taps.

It has been a few years since we’ve been to salty’s and I had forgotten how good food is!! We had excellent service, our food came out in a timely manner, and at the last minute they were able to accommodate two additional guests that showed up unexpectedly . The food was exceptional from presentation to taste .
