Went to Phoenix Steakhouse last night and had a really nice evening! I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and it was honestly so good! The portion was huge, easily enough for two people, and it tasted amazing. The atmosphere was lovely too. Definitely a place I’d go back to!

Loved the small venue where you could hear each other talk. Wine selection by the glass was varied and great options. Food was amazing. We loved all the dishes we tried. Hostess was great in suggesting number of plates to order and then try more if needed. We didn’t need any more as satiated with what we had!

About the restaurant

Named one of the “Top Five Winery Restaurants in the World” by Travel + Leisure magazine, the Terrace Restaurant offers open-air dining framed by breathtaking panoramic views of Okanagan Lake.

A renowned winery restaurant, the lunch and dinner menus showcase the very finest of the region, with homemade dishes made from ingredients grown in the estate’s garden or sourced locally through trusted farming partners. Chef Patrick’s philosophy, “If it grows together, it goes together,” is reflected in every plate, thoughtfully paired with the winery’s own award-winning wines to create a truly local and seasonal dining experience.

We are closed for the season. We look forward to welcoming you in Spring 2027!

About the restaurant

At Home Block Restaurant, we embrace the bounty of the Okanagan while our name pays homage to the Home Block Vineyard which surrounds us. Our building is crafted from fieldstone and 100-year-old reclaimed barn wood and our cuisine draws on those elemental roots. We integrate natural cooking methods like our wood-fired grill fueled by timber from local orchards and seasoned barrel staves. The result is honest, confident, and approachable food that unites flawlessly with CedarCreek wine.

After a delicious meal we went for a wine tasting. Dawson made the wine tasting experience memorable! He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great tasting experience. He was able to share technical details such as sugar levels as well as suggested food pairings. It was a wonderful afternoon!
