Waterfront Wines

Waterfront Wines was one of the highest rated places in Kelowna that was available for labour day weekend, so we decided to give it a try.

The decor is pretty neat, we especially liked this tree branch light fixture in the dining room to the right.

We decided to all go for some tapas style appetizers first. B and I had the cheese platter and the potted foie gras. For the three types of cheese, we had the St. Geric Blue Cheese, the Alpine Gold semi soft cheese, and the Louis d'Or firm cheese.

The blue was of course the strongest, and the other two were good on their own, but would be drowned out by the apricot if added. We really loved the walnuts that were dusted with cinnamon sugar.

The potted foie gras was REALLY good. It was creamy and the wine jelly was a good balance of tart but sweet to go with the creaminess of the liver.

We didn't stay for main courses because we were pretty stuffed from the appetizers and none of the main dishes stood out for us.

Great for a night out while lake cabin-ing in Kelowna. Give it a try if you're in town.

Indochine

We went to Indochine Kitchen + Bar a couple weeks ago during a week night.

As usual, the food and service were excellent. We happened to be there on a game night so we got to enter a raffle for free tickets four times just for ordering two pitchers and checking in on social media sites.

As appetizer, we had the INDOCHINE Garlic Butter Chicken Wings. If you've ever been to Phnom Penh and had their delicious chicken wings, and you don't want to wait in line, this is a veritable replacement. Plus, you don't get rushed out of the restaurant like you do at Phnom Penh.

We also had the Enoki & Bacon. Although we loved the spicy sauce and just the complex texture of  the dish, we thought the Enoki was a little undercooked. It was really chewy and you couldn't eat it in several bites, but jam the whole thing in your mouth.

As main dishes, we had the Lemongrass Chicken and the Thit Kho. The Lemongrass Chicken was good - nicely seasoned, perfectly grilled. I like that it's served with an egg.

The Thit Kho had more flavour. The pork was very tender.

Overall, great experience. Will return.
