Great service and beautiful restaurant. We did the pre fix 4 courses with wine. Great experience. The mushroom risotto with Pinot noir pairing was incredible. Best pairing I’ve ever had. The steak was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed choosing my own weapon. The chocolate cake was to die for also. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Had an excellent dinner at Derricks this past weekend. Our waiter Doug provided excellent service and was knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Doug suggested starting off with the Brut which my girlfriend ordered and really enjoyed, while I opted for my favourite beer, Sapporo. Alongside the provided table bread, we ordered the Wagyu Steak Tartar to start followed by the shareable rib-eye and sides to accompany. All the food was amazing! I really enjoyed how they come around with the steaks to explain each cut and where they are sourcing their products from. The cherry on top was the box of assorted steak knives where you get to choose which one you want. All in all, Derricks was an amazing experience and I look forward to my next visit.

Loved the experience. Everything about the food was fantastic service was definitely above abs beyond! Our server Chris was very professional and gave us just the right amount of attention! Really enjoyed having more of an experience here picking your knife and them presenting the steak cuts. We went with the rib eye and as we preferred a medium rare steak, Chris advised a medium cook is recommended due to cooking down the fat of the steak. We were a little nervous at first but followed his recommendation and he was right, it was absolutely perfect. Had some cocktails at the bar waiting they were tasty and the bartender was fantastic. Really liked the ambiance of the restaurant! Modern fine dining but also had a quaint feel. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a phenomenal steakhouse experience. Prices were very fair, any steakhouse is expensive at the end of the day.

My husband and I went there for our anniversary this evening, and wow, we were both so amazed by everything about this place. From the hostess welcoming us and wishing us a happy anniversary, to our waiter Chris who not only had an amazing mustache, but a super personable way about him, the chefs who worked hard in the kitchen to give us some of the best tasting foods we have ever had. The knowledge in different cuts of steaks definitely helped in our decision on which was best for each of us. Caesar Salad was so fresh and delightful, the Risotto was out of this world, the Steaks were cooked to nothing short of utter perfection, and the Cheesecake was, as Chris put it, "The Best Cheesecake" Thank you for the cute note you left on our table and the complimentary glass of Champagne! Thank you to everyone there for making this one of the most memorable anniversaries and dining experiences we both have ever had.

Here is an upscale Steakhouse fine dining experience. Very good food here. Nice atmosphere. Prices vary, but can get very expensive. This is definitely a high end restaurant and it's not cheap. Drinks and cocktails have many choices.There is also a kids menu here. Deserts are amazing. Loved the steak. Definitely make reservations if you plan to fine here. You can reserve online. Located downtown on Water street. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The steak was absolutely incredible. Had such great flavour and practically melted in your mouth. However, the carrots were slightly undercooked, and the baked potato was nothing special. I would try something else next time! All the servers were incredible and super informative. The tableside caesar was an enjoyable experience but it was room temp by the time it got served, which I can't say I fully enjoyed. Picking your own knife is such a fun aspect, and a great niche to have! I will definitely go back on special occasions, and when my out of town family visits :)

Went to the pre-opening event and it was a blast! Steakhouse made whimsical. Owner, Ross Derrick, has been able to transform this iconic location into a new restaurant worthy of its place. Everything from being shown the different cuts of meat to the table side food prep, and even getting to choose your own steak knife made the experience engaging. I was able to connect to my meal at a whole new level. We ordered the Bistecca and several sides and it was a delicious balance of flavours and texture. I also very much appreciated the non-alcoholic selection of cocktails that made my meal feel special and inclusive. The tea-infused Smoke & Mirrors could be one I would order again. Highly recommend a visit!

Love this place! From the moment you walk through the door to the end of your night this restaurant is top notch. You’re immediately greeted by a friendly host, the room is buzzing with tables gathered with friends and family enjoying great food and drink. The bar is a great place to make new friends; and every item on the food and drink menus have been curated to create a premium dining experience. The kitchen accommodated my dietary restrictions and the owner was engaging with guests all evening. Highly recommend.

Our Christmas party was catered by Derricks and the food was amazing and the service was stellar! We also had a staff meal at the restaurant the next week and again, the food was delicious, the service cant be beat and the atmosphere of the restaurant was beautiful. I loved the decor, it was simple and understated, perfect for the holiday season! Thanks for two wonderful meals!!

Derrick s was an experience from start to finish. One of the highlights was the unique table-side salad preparation. A particularly fun touch was the ability to choose your own steak knife from a selection. Clark was a fantastic server polite, informative, and engaging, making sure we had everything we needed. Her expertise and friendly demeanor was an extension to an already stellar dining experience. Overall, great food and experience. If youre looking for top-tier steaks, an interactive dining experience, and exceptional informative service, I cant recommend this place enough.

Service is amazing, top notch. Food... overly salty and very pricey. Yes, the Caesar salad is amazing, but not worth $40. Ive had better steaks, and the sides are so salty, they are hard to eat. The staff make this place worth visiting, but Id rather eat at home

I d heard it was great but WOW! I ve eaten in a lot of steak houses and this one literally tops the charts. From the ease upon entering, like you ve walked into your best friend s dining room, to the sensational atmosphere and then complimented by exquisite service. Not snotty service, warm, friendly and personable, but with a fine dining experience. The table created Caesar salad, is not just delicious, but a pleasure to watch and interact with. The table poured bubbly, the maître D beef descriptions excite your senses, preparing you for the main event. And an event it is! Expertly grilled fine cuts, with sides that deserve to be the star of the show. An experience that every steak lover truly needs to have, thank you, we shall return again and again!

10/10 the best steakhouse in Kelowna! Highly recommend the fresh, table side caesar salad, cowboy butter for your perfectly cooked steak, mushroom risotto as a side and chocolate silk cake for dessert. The service is outstanding (thank you, Cody), even our 10 year old son had a great time! We will be back, over and over again. Yum!

As someone who has had many steak dinners, this place just comes up short. We had the Wagyu beef which I m questioning - is it actually traditional Wagyu? It was chewy and just overall mediocre. The high prices are absolutely not worth it. The highlight is the layer cake, come for that and eat steak elsewhere. I would be confident to say this place is very over priced for tte quality of food.

WOW! Went to Derricks last night for my birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. They graciously gave us the specific table I requested when making my reservation (by the kitchen window, recommended to watch the magic happen!!), and even had a little birthday card waiting at the table for me :) Christina was our server and she is awesome, I love servers who love what they do! Everything we ate was top notch, tableside caesar is an experience and has made us want to throw out the creamy caeser sauce from our fridge. Tash did a great job explaining the process while making it, also a fantastic staff member to chat with. The steaks were simply perfect!! I had the 10oz tenderloin, which was cooked a spot on medium rare, and my wife had the A3 Wagyu sirloin, Oscar style. Both AMAZING! We made sure to get the chefs name, Josh!!, so we can ask him to cook our steaks next time we visit. I think Im going to go ahead and say it was the best steak Ive ever eaten, and Ive eaten alot of them! So happy to support this place, weve been following Derrick for a while. We live close by the Codfathers/Broken Anchor, and we love seeing his foodtruck at events. So glad he decided to open up a proper old skool style steakhouse. Very lucky to have a place like this in our town :) Literally one of the best meals Ive ever had. Food, service,. atmosphere, everything just perfect! If I win the lottery I will be eating here everyday! See you guys again soon!

Our experience at Dericks was outstanding. From accommodating a last-minute reservation to offering an impressive cocktail and wine selection, Dericks is a much-needed addition to Kelowna s dining scene. The beet salad, assorted potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and the exceptional 36oz bistecca steak were all perfectly prepared. The service was top-notch, and the bartenders are true professionals something that can be hard to find in the valley. It s a relief to finally have a fine dining option downtown.

Eight of us had a work celebration function this evening and the service provided to us by Christine, our server, was 10 out of 10! They definetly have a great varity of appies, steaks, side dishes bevys & wine, plus you can select your own style of steak knife. Who does that!!! Needless to say, all of us were very impressed and we will return. Thank you Christine for the great experience.

Dereks Steakhouse is not your average family-friendly eatery. This upscale establishment is a haven for adults seeking a sophisticated dining experience. Be prepared to wait, as the leisurely pace of service is a hallmark of the place. Once your meal arrives, the wait is undoubtedly worth it. The steaks are cooked to perfection, and the sides are equally impressive. However, be warned: the prices are steep, and the parking fees might give you sticker shock. If youre looking to splurge on a special occasion and dont mind the hefty price tag, Dereks Steakhouse is a great choice. Just leave the kids at home and prepare for a long, luxurious meal. Parking: $22/hr if you cant find a free street spot Kid-friendliness: Absolutely NOT Wheelchair accessibility: Level entry

I dined at Derricks Steakhouse this past Saturday and had an incredible experience! I walked in without a reservation and was able to get a seat at the bar, where the service and food exceeded my expectations. My bartender was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I started with the mussels and fries, which were cooked perfectly, and they brought out fresh bread drizzled with olive oil and sea salt an absolute treat! For dessert, I indulged in the Valrhona layered chocolate cake, and that was truly something special. They roll the cake out on a trolley, cut it in front of you, and ask how much whipped cream youd like. The cake itself was heavenly rich in chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. The overall ambiance, exceptional service, and delicious food have me looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend Derricks Steakhouse!

October 22, 2024

Came in this weekend, overall disappointing. Feedback to Derrick: 1. Use hot plates, this is a basic, the rectangular serving plates were bone cold. The bistecca steak was cold, not what you expect for a $160 steak 2. Service was poor, was ready to order the appetizer right away (olives, which weren t available) and was told I couldn t order them. Had to order cocktails only first which took an hour to arrive. When they arrived they had been waiting on the bar as the foam had separated in them 3. Forgot his name but the host (person who took the order for cocktails and cut up the bistecca steak for table side service - slightly tall, dark hair), was rude and condescending The bissteck steak cooled on the plate 4. Drinks were empty, not refilled at all - again poor service 5. Glassware covered in water stains, not properly cleaned 6. Side came out cold - broccolini & duck fat potatoes came out cold, not I d what expect for ~$20 sides Room for improvement, specifically around service and the quality of the delivery of the meal. Perhaps on another day it would have been a different experience.

Its really one of those fantastic restaurants where you really get what you pay for. From the quality of food to the care of service everything was immaculate! I rarely go for steak but everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned. I would definitely recommend this as the spot for any beef lover and any lover of food in general! I had the beef tenderloin with a baked potato and scallops and have never been more pleased with a decision in my life.

We had a memorable experience at Derrick s and are excited to make this our go to for family celebrations. The staff accommodated our party of seven and delivered golden moments with everyone, including my toddler. We were celebrating two birthdays and the entire experience was spectacular. From delicious canapés (potato mochi) to flutes of brut, phenomenal presentation of the cuts of Alberta beef, an AMAZING 1560 (beautiful riff on a French 75) and perfectly paired sides (I m still dreaming about the carrots and the truffle Mac & Cheese), to the lighting and ambiance, every aspect of this restaurant displays quality. It s a modern twist on the classic steakhouse experience and fills a much needed gap here in the city.

Just a wonderful experience across the board. Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the table side service is a refreshing blast from the past to a time when going out for dinner meant more than just skipping the dishes. The drinks and mocktails were amazing. Portions are very reasonable, food quality and presentation is absolutely top shelf. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants a finer dining experience than cactus club, Joeys or all the other generic cookie cutter little black dress-taraunts. The finale? Derricks classic chocolate cake. Absolutely unreal. Not only was my dining experience near perfect but the place is locally owned and operated by a guy who genuinely cares about not only the quality of his product but the community as a whole.

The food was creative and a good atmosphere but the pricing was a bit steep,however as i understand it, this is an independent owner operator and iflation makes it tough to purchase the quality ingredients they use at reasonable prices. This restaurant is relatively new at this location so I may come back in 6 months and give it another try and Im sure the food will be exceptional the second time around. I always prefer to support local restaurants rather than big chains so I will definitely try this place again down the road.

So happy Kelowna finally has a real steakhouse. First, the service is top notch. Our server was Mike and he is a veteran of the restaurant scene and if you are fortunate enough to have him serve your table, your evening will be that much better. The food is excellent, I have not had a steak cooked that perfectly (med-rare), tasted that flavourful and be that tender in a very long time. Sides were generous and delicious as well. A cool touch is you get to choose your weapon as they come to your table with a wooden box containing a number of different steak knives you get to choose from. Well done All! Will be back soon!

October 22, 2024

Went out for dinner on a Saturday night, made a reservation for 8:30. Sat at the bar due to our table not being available until 8:50. Our meals were horribly salted, gave us the wrong meals. Paid $160 for a steak that was horribly salted, had to scrape off all of the seasoning for it to be even edible. After the meal we went to pay the bill, they graciously took off our bottle of wine as compensation. Then later when we went to leave our waiter stopped us and asked if we meant to put a 20% tip or a $20. Technically asking for more tip which is extremely disrespectful as the meal was not even considered edible. Wasn t up to the waiter to make the food but the manager was the one with the sea salt obsession. Overpriced. Not worth it. Will not go back.

October 22, 2024

Dined at Derricks in Kelowna earlier this weekend. Food was average . . . presentation could be improved. Plates are super cold which is bizarre for a steakhouse. However, the Espresso Martini I requested (not on the menu) was phenomenal Top 10. As for service, ours was TOP NOTCH! Would return just for the great customer service, honestly. A rarity in most Kelowna restaurants. Derricks is super clean which matters a lot to us. No complaints in that regard. All in all, we had a nice time & we are happy to support local eateries but well probably just have cocktails next time & skip the food.

Just visited Derrick s Steakhouse in Kelowna, and I must admit, my expectations were tempered, having dined at some of the worlds premier steak establishments. However, I was thoroughly impressed. The quality of the food and the exemplary service would make Derrick s a standout even in a bustling city like Vancouver. My steak was incredible and so was every other dish. A special mention goes to Kalen and Sam whose service was impeccable and whose cocktails were outstanding. I look forward to returning many times. Highly recommended.

Food was superb. Service was outstanding. Atmosphere was intimate but nicely buzzy. My husband and I treated my son and his girlfriend to dinner for my sons birthday. The bill was $700 so was a real treat for all of us. We don t have that kind of money to throw around. And then the whole evening was ruined by the head whoever asking us to leave because they needed the table. Maybe it s a Canadian thing. Where I come from originally you have your table for as long as you like. That s why I only gave 3 stars. And I am definitely not entitled I just found that rude.

We were so excited to visit this place but unfortunately did not have a great experience. Our server was unable to answer basic questions we had about the menu. We waited 1 hour to even order our food, our server was no where to be seen , we had to ask someone else to grab her. All the food was average. One of us ordered king crab, two minutes before it came out they informed us that they didn t have king crab and we were getting A different find of crab. The crab was so soft we couldn t even crack it open. Ended up paying $800 for 4 people, average food and terrible service. Overall not a Great experience and likely will not be back

Fantastic steak house experience. Our party enjoyed every aspect of the experience. The service was exceptional, and the food delicious. It s great to have a good steak house in town. It s all here. The wine, the appetizers, the side dishes, the amazing sourdough bread - and of course the steaks. 5 stars across the board richly deserved. Don t skip the made at the table Caesar salad. Parking: The private parking directly across the street is pricey, but the street parking is super cheap. Pay for either from your phone. $25 private. $1.50 street. Parked from 5:30 to 9 PM.

Went there last night to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We had the chefs 5 course tasting menu with the wine paring and it was absolutely amazing! Because they knew it was our anniversary to start we were given a beautiful sparkling wine and our table had a little happy anniversary card for us! The service was exceptional and with every bite my boyfriend took he mentioned how amazing the food tasted! I called a head to make sure a wheat allergy could be accommodated and they went above and beyond any restaurant. When they brought out the warm bread and butter for while we waited for our food, they gave me veggies with an amazing dip to enjoy. The gluten free dessert was to die for. Derricks steakhouse really made our anniversary extra special!

Nice place but honestly the food doesnt live up to its price point. My steak was a bit tough and I did not like how it came pre cut... lost all of its juices. The sides were okay but over priced and skimpy. Table side caeser salad was good and server was nice to chat with. The expensive caeser cocktail I ordered was watered down and bland. Honestly the keg is much better.

A lot of times you go to a high priced restaurant and the food doesn t quite match what you pay for Derricks is not that place. Not that the prices are crazy, you just pay for what you re getting. This was the best meal I had in a very long time. The flavours were on point but the quality of the food itself was top tier. Even the bread you get was over the top. I had the Bistecca. You should have the Bistecca. The waiter brings a box of assorted steak knives to the table, you choose the knife you like best. We had the opportunity of having Mike serve us. He was professional, polite, and fun. This was cool and added to the experience. Nothing about this place was mediocre. You get what you pay for. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.

September 22, 2024

We had a nice dinner but were expecting higher quality food and service from other reviews we read ahead of time as well as price charged. Basically only 2 non alcohol cocktails offered. My soda was brought to me in a can that I had to pour myself. Side dishes that are shared at the table were served with no spoons to actually dish them out with. Our steaks were fine but as an example my 6 oz tenderloin was very thin (about 1cm). I was expecting a thicker steak that was smaller around and the outside was burnt. My steak knife was so dull it would barely cut my steak. Black house flies were circling around us while we ate. After only about 1 1/4 hours of sitting at the table and while some of us were still enjoying wine the waitress was asking for payment. We felt very rushed. On our way out of the restaurant we realized others were waiting for our table. We were excited to try out this new steak house but will not be back.

The food was amazing! However, Derricks steakhouse is more than just a meal, its an experience. The tableside Caesar Salad and Cherry flambe are fantastic. Being able to view the different steak options and pick your own knife are unique to Derricks as well. The quality of the steaks (all Alberta beef), the wine list and cocktail options exceeded my expectations. Kudos to Chef Ross Derrick! Derricks is a must for Kelowna locals and those vacationing in the Okanagan.

Such a fantastic experience at Derricks steakhouse. The staff were amazing, very attentive and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was excellent too! Food was incredible, beyond the steak being perfectly cooked and melt in your mouth, you definitely must have the chocolate cake served table side. It was definitely busy and the place to be on a Friday night. A must do!

Excellent dinning experience. The atmosphere has a great vibe and the food quality is exceptional. The portions are generous allowing you share sides to experience more of the very tasty side dishes. Highly recommend Derricks Steakhouse. The service team was professional, fun and on point from when we arrived until we left. Our group of six enjoyed the a selection of shared appetizers, Cesar salad made to order at our table, bone in rib eyes with mushrooms and various other sides. I enjoyed every bite. Derricks Steakhouse is an instant classic. We look forward to our next occasion to visit.

Just had an amazing dinner at Derrick s in Kelowna! The tableside Caesar salad was fresh and perfectly made. The ribeye, paired with their cowboy butter, was cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and spot-on!

I was really excited to come here .. but i was really really disappointed . We have the beef and brie appetizer . It was dripping in fat to the point i actually had to spit it out and i almost lost my cookies The cornbread pancake that accompanied it was delicious however! We had the cesar salad ! Nothing to complain about there .. muscles where good !!! But the steak .. 14 oz strip loin was extremely bland .. shockingly so . And the cioppino was also quite bland and had a herb that was over done (seemed like cardamom or coriander ) but I could not put my finger on it . The staff is phenomenal and very attentive and knowledgeable .. but overall this place was disappointing and for the price I would not go back again

We visit Kelowna and Vernon every summer, we decided to try a new spot Derricks steakhouse. The atmosphere is good the service staff are great and knowledgeable. The food was just ok. The steak didnt have much flavor and the beef and brie was fairly fatty with limited flavor. The cornbread was very good as well as the mussels.

This is a restaurant that needs to be enjoyed. Tableside salaads, great steaks, and a really great chocolate cake for dessert. Get the chocolate cake. It was a special, and I hope they put it on the menu for our next visit. A must visit. Food : 5/5

I wanted to share a detailed experience when I came in on Saturday, August 3rd. I had made a reservation and got an amazing seat; I was bringing two friends from Toronto to this restaurant because I knew they could provide an amazing experience. From offering a choice of sparkling at the beginning and choosing the table side Caesar salad, it was outstanding. Having a maitre D and a server was such a unique experience, and my server helped me choose a beautiful bottle of Syrah. Then came the steaks. My friends were splitting a medium 6 oz steak, and I had chosen the feature cut of the night, an A4 steak cooked rare, which was not listed on the menu. The steaks seemed to be taking awhile, and our server came shortly after to tell us the chef wasn t happy with the cook on them and that they were being refired. Finally, the refired steaks hit the table, and to my dismay, my steak was still overcooked. I was fine with the first refire; mistakes happen, but when my steak has to be refired twice on such a luxurious cut? It was sent back once more, and by the time mine came out, my friends had finished eating, and I was left eating alone. The experience was beautiful up until the steaks, by the end I had just felt rushed and disappointed. Additionally, I was told the price of my cut was $79, but when the bill came I discovered it was in fact $95. Not a huge difference but the price was incorrectly communicated to me as it was a feature and not actually listed. After all this, they gave me the bill (which was originally full price which is how I noticed the difference in price for the steak) and after inquiring they gave me 50% off of only my steak, but truthfully I still felt disappointed. I brought my friends here because I thought they would get a great experience out of it, but overall how the situation was handled in an establishment that specializes in steaks, I was a little taken aback. After all this, I don t know if this will still be my go to spot.

Definitely not the place for a quiet dinner. It was only half full and you had to yell to the person next to you. Made that part very disappointing. The food was very good, especially their house bread. With the steak it says vegetables, that was misleading 3 extremely tiny asparagus spears. The Ceasars salad prepared at the table was just ok and 18 per person. They let you pick your cutlery. Cheese bread was good. Onion rings were average. Expect to be there awhile. Staff are very friendly. We are not drinkers so their tasting of wines was a pass. The menu is abit limited.

This is not just somewhere to go to enjoy a meal, this is where to go if you want a full culinary experience. With tableside service options you get to immerse yourself in the preparation of your meal. Truly one of the best dinners I have ever had! This is what Kelowna has been missing. The steak was amazing, but also recommend trying the onion rings, Caesar salad and make sure to get the mushrooms as a side! Everything we tasted was fantastic. We can t wait to go back.

Derricks Steakhouse is a casual, but high-end dining experience. The serving staff brought out samples to show us each cut of meat that is on the menu and we were invited to choose own own unique steak knives to use. I ordered the tenderloin and it was cooked to perfection . Dessert was delicious too. I ordered the chocolate silk cake. Will definitely eat there again. Great place to take a date or clients.

Fabulous night out with the family trying out Derrick s during their soft opening week! As steak lovers the boys were more than thrilled. Probably up there as one of the best meals I ve ever had said one of them, and me as a vegetarian, enjoyed every delicious mouthful of my light and perfectly cooked risotto, table side Caesar salad, and vegetable sides! Topped off with a lemon meringue dessert unlike anything my Mum ever made (sorry Mum!!) all in all Derrick s is a fantastic addition to the Downtown Kelowna restaurant scene. Another great collaboration initiative from Chefs Ross Derrick and Alex Lavroff.

Its definitely the place to be. Kelowna badly needed a restaurant like this and Derricks Steakhouse does not disappoint. Not only is the food and drink spectacular, but the service, staff, and atmosphere are also amazing. I am currently pregnant and not drinking, I was pleasantly surprised to see a decent Mocktail menu. I had the Audrey Smile and it was delicious. I look forward to coming back.

What an amazing experience! The food is absolutely amazing, full of flavor in every dish. The service provided is the best weve had and Chris our server was top notch. He even remembered all of our names which was a nice touch. This is NOT your typical come in, eat, and leave type of restaurant. You are in for a full culinary experience and it will blow your mind! The locally sourced wine, beer and spirits are all incredible and the steaks are absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection! Chef Alex and his kitchen staff knocked it out of the park! Ross Derrick himself we watched converse with essentially every guest we saw come in including ourselves and made us feel right at home. 10/10 recommend!

The little extras like bringing the different cuts of meat to the table to explain each, letting you choose your knife, the tableside menu options... everything is well thought out. I live in Alberta so am used to having a good steak but am still thinking about that meal. The steak was perfectly cooked & the sauces and sides were fantastic. Highly recommend this place.

Weve been here twice since they opened barely a month ago and will definitely keep coming back! Beautiful restaurant with wonderful staff and absolutely perfecting the traditional steakhouse model that you just dont see anymore! From the maître d to the table side Caesar salad, and bringing the cuts of meat out to your table before you order, this place nails it! Bottom line is you will be hard pressed to find a better cut of meat cooked anywhere near as perfectly no matter where you go. Highly recommend!

Ross Derrick has transformed an iconic space in downtown Kelowna into something of his own. What we have needed for years, a classic steakhouse has arrived. Incredible cocktails, a thoughtful wine list and steaks done as you would expect from a classic American Steakhouse. Run, don t walk to this place

Steaks were delicious, not happy with table sharing with a family who brought their very young kids to a high end steakhouse. If you are allowing small kids then put them in the back of the restaurant not at the front table where everyone can hear them.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Derek s Steakhouse this evening and it truly exceeded all expectations, I can say with confidence this is the best restaurant experience I have ever had in the Okanagan. The decor and atmosphere is very welcoming and genuine, the service is impeccable and the added touches of table side presentation is a wonderful addition. There is a thoughtfulness throughout the entire meal experience which keeps dinners engaged. This restaurant also has a fantastic selection of non alcoholic beverages which were incredible! The food is masterfully presented and every dish enjoyed was perfection. We had the beef tartar (picture above) and beef and Brie for appetizers which were both mind blowing! The ribeye steak was cooked beautifully and simply delicious with multiple sides enjoyed. This restaurant is an absolute gem and I can t wait to go back to try everything else on the menu. Thank you for the excellent evening!

My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner tonight and this place did not disappoint! Food was great and service was even better. Starter, we had oysters and shared a main of table side bistecca with red smash potatoes and roasted carrots, of course with some vino. Finished off with silky chocolate cake. Oysters were a little too big and juicy for hubby but I didn t mind eating 5 out of 6. Steak, cooked to perfection! With a little table side performance of steak cutting. Our server always came back to make sure that our drink was topped up without being too overbearing which happens a lot in nice restaurants. We ve just moved to Kelowna in the fall from Vancouver. Been to Hy s, Gotham and B&B and Derrick is comparable to those places if not better. We will definitely come back!

My wife and I had a wonderful evening sitting at the bar at Derrick s, a welcome discovery after the closing of the legendary Raudz last November. Ross Derrick is a friendly and gracious host, Mitchell and Samuel are top-notch bartenders, and our salad and main courses were all memorable. The beet salad is a visual feast, and tastes like a healthy dessert. Despite being a vegetarian, my wife can t wait to return. And for those who think that vegetarians eat the food their food eats, rest assured that my mouthwatering striploin was grilled to perfection, and it will keep me coming back for more. The emergence of Derrick s on the local restaurant scene is great news for all of us looking for an upscale dining destination in Kelowna.

It was one of a kind experience not to be missed! Our son in law took us out, exclaiming it was an experience like no other. Ive ever had a steak presentation or such amazing tableside service. The staff were fantastic, and the food spoke for itself. Its an amazing place if youre looking to spoil your spouse or just enjoy great food. Not only that, but Derrick was friendly and hands-on, ensuring guests were enjoying their night. Kid-friendliness: They have booster seats for children.
