The food was delicious - our guests and ourselves really enjoyed it. Initially we were surprised at the quite limited menu. The quality of food is of course the key to a nice evening and we did enjoy the evening. The atmosphere is more suitable for younger people and not so much for seniors because of the noise level. I assume that the design is to make the place more noisy, loud and "more fun" that young people like with concrete floors and all hard surfaces to magnify sound. Nonetheless, we were able to hear each other at the table as seniors. The service was OK. The staff were pleasant but I would suggest that additional training is needed or they are stretched too thin. People that came in after us got served before us. We would have liked to have had the opportunity to place our appetizer while we were thinking about our main courses. We had to get up to start leaving in order to attract attention to get our bill when we were ready to leave.

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view. Unfortunately, their steak cook is not skilled. Got blue rare steak and was offered to fix it. So in the end I got my food after my husband finished his plate and the steak was still rare instead of medium. The server offered to take the steak back to the kitchen for the third time lol. For the price, I would expect a perfect meal with perfect service. They gave me one glass of cheap wine as sorry and still let me pay for the steak. Seriously this was unexpected.

We booked a private room to have dinner with 20 people for our wedding reception and it was incredible! The servers were very attentive and kind, and addressed all of our guests by their first names. I sent a list of allergies and dietary requirements beforehand, and everything was seamlessly accommodated. My friend even ordered a cocktail at the bar, and the bartender remembered her very specific allergy and her name (her name tag was on the table not with her). Overall, everyone was very impressed and made comments about how wonderful the food and atmosphere were. My photographer (who has been working weddings for 20+ years) said that this was one of the best wedding dinner experiences she’s ever been a part of. We ended up taking pictures in the tasting room after it closed, and the servers even came by a couple times to check on us and see if we needed the lights adjusted or anything moved around. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a very intimate and special wedding reception venue! The food was delicious and very affordable for the quality, and we didn’t even have to pay to book the room (only the food).

My recent visit to The Modest Butcher was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in a picturesque west Kelowna. The winery and restaurant offer an enchanting blend of exquisite wines, gourmet cuisine, and unparalleled service that makes it stand out as a true gem. The atmosphere perfectly balances elegance with a relaxed charm, making it an ideal destination for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The highlight of our evening, however, was the exceptional service provided by David and Logan. These two servers went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of perfect. Their knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was impressive, guiding us through each course with enthusiasm and expertise. They were attentive without being intrusive, anticipating our every need with a smile and genuine warmth that made us feel like cherished guests. The food at The Modest Butcher is a culinary masterpiece. The 62oz tomahawk was artfully presented and bursting with flavour . The chef’s commitment to excellence is evident in every bite, and the wine pairings recommended by David and Logan elevated the dining experience to new heights. In addition to the superb service and delightful cuisine, the winery’s selection of wines is simply outstanding. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a casual wine enthusiast, you’ll find something to love in their carefully curated collection. Overall, my experience at The Modest Butcher was unforgettable . The combination of views, exquisite food and wine, and the exemplary service from David and Logan made it an evening to remember. I highly recommend The modest butcher to anyone looking for a truly remarkable dining experience. I can’t wait to return.

Stunning lunch at The Modest Butcher for my 50th celebrations delicious food, amazing wine and passable company hahaha! Definitely recommend this restaurant in the Okanagan! My pork belly and scallop entree/starter was amazing and sweet/sour/savoury goodness! Bruno’s gnocchi was heaven in a bowl with bloody good mushroom and bacon pecorino flavours and the gnocchi were almost as good as his mums! We had steak for lunch with tenderloin for him and NY Striploin for me. Massive kudos to the chef for asking our lovely server Ash to come discuss with me my cooking preferences as I love steak blue however he felt the fat would not render enough and asked if I would like it cooked longer or move to a tenderloin. I stayed with the striploin and got it medium rare and it was delicious!!! So education for me as normally rare is as far cooked as I would go Hahahahhaa then a beautiful small choloclate cream and raspberry compote dessert and a taste of Kelowna ice wine on the house from the restaurant. Just amazing!! This is service, food love and wine obsession rolled in to one! Love it. Def thanks tk Ash, the chef and team it was wonderful. THANK YOU

We had a wonderful dinner at the modest butcher a few weeks ago. The place is very popular and gets lively in the evenings. It can get really loud as well, so if seeking something quiet and intimate perhaps ask to be seated appropriately - the side farther away from the kitchen area seemed to have a more quiet atmosphere during our visit. We were initially seated close to the kitchen, which has a great view but the exposure did not quite work for us so we were graciously moved a few seats down. Service was excellent and attentive. We started off with a charcuterie board , which wasn’t massive but had a rich flavour profile. I would recommend it for a shareable. We followed that up with Pork Belly & Scallops - also very delicious. For the second bottle we enjoyed a duck confit , and finished off with the brownie trifle.

After completing a wine tasting on the back patio, we went upstairs for a delicious lunch. Grace, our server, was absolutely charming and a wonderful host. Unfortunately, the kitchen was extremely slow and one of our guests meal arrived about 30 minutes before the other five guests. The food was tasty but the lack of culinary timing was disappointing. We were thankful for Grace saving the dining experience, which would otherwise have been not great.

First time in Kelowna, and this restaurant not only has amazing gourmet food, but the view is amazing and relaxing. The most impressive thing is their service, every single waiter here is polite and friendly. We were amazed by them. Our waiter Daniel was charming, knowledgeable and very charismatic, he made us feel that we knew each other for a long time. We enjoyed their wine and had an amazing dinner experience. I highly recommend. It’s a most to go if you are visiting Kelowna, BC. Thank you Daniel, missing you already!!

This place used to be A1. Now it is a dump. I used to get the Tomahawk at least once a month. Since 2022 the quality and service has completely tanked. I brought it up to the manager and was promised a gift card for $500 (the price of our last meal). My girlfriend went to grab it and the staff were so rude that she just ended up walking out. I just had my business partner mention that he went there last weekend and had the same experience. This place (along with most of the dumps in Kelowna) need to go bust or change management. The quality of hospitality here would never last in a major city and it is a disgusting trend.

We made a reservation over 2 months prior for a group of 8 and when we got there we were told we could only have the table for 2 hours and not very politely. We ordered the tomahawk steak which took an hour and 15 mins before it was cooked and then rested for another 15 mins which left us about 30 minutes to eat our meals. It didn t leave us time for dessert or coffee or any after dinner drinks. The 2 hosts spent the last 10 minutes of our reservation staring at our table and talking about us. Food was overall good but not nearly enough. I have been there in the past and have walked out stuffed and this time we walked out and had to get a snack on the way home. Our server was amazing. The wine was delicious but we won t be going back.

What can I say other than BOOM. They nailed it. I ll start with Avery(spelling?). What a terrific server. Great banter, knowledgable, knows when to be there and when to not. She s a rockstar. The room itself was great. Not so steakhousey, not too annoyingly trendy. Just right with the modern minimalist decor. Drinks. Neither of us drink which doesn t make sense at a winery, but the NA selection was vast, and most importantly they have an espresso machine for great coffee. Food. The food was awesome. You know you re spending a bit when you go to a place like that so they better deliver, and deliver they did. We both did steak with double veg and I can t speak highly enough about the cuts of meat and the perfect doneness . I m a chef by trade originally and I ll happily pick apart a crap job. The folks in the back deserve a round of applause. Im not in Kelowna much, but if I am again I ll be sure to stop by again, and I ll happily be spreading the word in the meantime.Great job everyone.

Quite the amazing high end boutique restaurant in the Winery. The tomohawk steak was in our top five best steak ever!!! So many other top quality dishes to choose from. This place should be everyones go to for a celebration meal. Service top shelf too. Try this place!!

November 22, 2024

Tried to book a table for 6 pm on open table. They only had tables at 5:45 or 6:15. When we arrived there was multiple unoccupied tables for the duration of our visit. The food, although very good took an exceptionally long time to arrive at the table.

November 22, 2024

We had to wait almost 45 minutes for our food to arrive and the place was almost empty. There is no atmosphere or anything to make the waiting more Pleasant. If you make me wait for a small apple for 20 minutes at least you should provide some sort of entertainment. The waitress was making excuses after excuses. Very patronizing.

Food was excellent and probably the best service of our entire trip to Canada. My husband and boys got the Tomahawk steak and it lived up to the hype. I got Steak & Frites and it was outstanding.

We were in town visiting for the weekend and came across The Modest Butcher! The food was great but what made our experience so memorable was our server, Morgan. Immediately I could tell she took pride in serving others well. We told her we were celebrating launching our own brand and she so thoughtfully brought us some glasses of champagne for the occasion. Her service was incredible and honestly above all else, we would come back to The Modest Butcher for her. Her genuine positivity is contagious and I m so glad we got her as our server.

Veggies were half warm, duck fat potatoes(half were undercooked) and the 14oz strip(70$) was undercooked, asked for medium rare and half of it was blue. My buddy made a better steak last week. They were adamant about their award winning steak, Id say, dont get the steak. **I mentioned the steak wasnt cooked properly and the guy just looked at me and kept on like nothing happened**

Started with a tasting, the server was fine but definitely wouldn t consider it a special experience, was cold and wasn t engaging with our group. Booked here for lunch during a wine tour almost 2 months in advance. After our tasting we went up for lunch to the hostess scolding us saying that they will take it as it comes and then they gave our table away outside that we were on time for. We then asked for the dining room at 1:45 on a Wednesday afternoon, with the host telling us that they will try to squeeze the 6 of us in while the entire time during our dining experience the whole dining room was empty. After being shoved in a corner in the empty lounge, they gave us a very small menu with few options, being told it was the lunch menu. 30 minutes later and after ordering we got moved to a table on the patio, where we saw and heard tables ordering a vast majority of dishes that we were not offered. When we asked they brought us a menu at the same time as the fries we ordered for lunch because there was nothing else on the menu we wanted. Overall our issues started small but got exasperated by the staff. Will definitely not be returning and will never buy their wine or support this business.

August 22, 2024

Came here on a tour with booked tasting and a lunch reservation. The tasting was a marginal experience. We had a table for lunch outside that was given away when our tasting was over and we were stuck in the lounge with a limited menu. The host staff were very rude and unaccommodating . The manager seemed to not care. We eventually made it outside and were shown the full menu but we had unfortunately already ordered. Will not be back.

I recently dined at Modest Butcher on Tomahawk Tuesdays, and despite a hiccup with our reservation, our lovely hosts quickly accommodated us on the patio. Our server, Daniel G, was exceptional attentive and knowledgeable. The highlight was Chef Dan personally visiting our table, which added a special touch. Now, let s talk about the food so was absolutely gobsmacked! The tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor. As someone who has spent years in the industry, I can confidently say that the quality here is top-notch. I cant wait to return!

Modest Butcher is such a vibe! We recently hosted our destination wedding dinner reception here on the rooftop and it was fabulous. The whole team was so attentive, kind and easy going and worked hard to make our vision and night perfect. The food was great, we knew when we were venue scouting last year and had dinner here that we had no concerns with not tasting the full set menu ahead of time given we were doing a destination wedding. We had a beautiful intimate dinner reception on the rooftop with very attentive staff. Alesha Mah was so amazing to work with. During the rehearsal walk through of the space, she made sure everything we wanted was fully understood, and even let us sample our signature cocktails we chose for the night. Her attention to detail, professionalism and great communication ensured that everything was perfect for our wedding reception. Leading up to the event, she continued to follow up and check in- can t say enough good things about her and the service she provides. We were also staying at the houses and Logan hosted our whole group for a wine tasting a few days ahead which helped us choose the 2 wines for the night. Such a cool space, our group loved it. They were also very easy going when it came to special requests. We had asked (half jokingly) if we could have corn hole and beer pong setup at the other side of the rooftop for after dinner, they didn t miss a beat and had no issues with it. We are so glad we hosted our dinner reception here!

Having been here once before on vacation a couple summers ago I was excited to come back. Unfortunately everything fell short of excellent. The service was slow and rather absent. It took our server a while to find us, and when they did they were quite distracted with everything else going on in the restaurant and their other tables. We really weren t checked on very much and it made us regret cancelling our reso at a different restaurant to come here because we thought it would be better to support a local (non-chain) restaurant. When the food finally arrived it was good, but not really a show stopper. We both ordered the tenderloin, and for $57 per steak, the meat was disappointingly tough and the béarnaise sauce was scant. Our cocktails were really nice and probably the highlight of the meal, however we only had one since we couldn t get a hold of our server for most of the evening to order more.

July 22, 2024

Had a disappointing birthday dinner for my brother. Three of us ordered steaks that were all not cooked consistently all the way through. The middle of them were almost rare when we all ordered med well. The size of the steaks are not a good value at all. They were tiny. Even the fries the steak came with were half full. The waitress was not quality checking our meals and seemed to be in a rush to leave. When she did bring out my brothers birthday dessert she just dropped it on the table . Not even a Happy Birthday . I unfortunately would not recommend this restaurant.

Came to the place for dinner with my mother and sister, the service was good, however food was not. I have ordered a steak with fries on the side. The bucket of the fries was half full, and they were too salty (on the pictures in other reviews the bucket was full). The steak was not even a steak but two small pieces of meat, that were dry and way too salty, the souse however was nice. The atmosphere is also not very nice as there is no music and very loud. I would not recommend the food in this place to anyone, especially not for that price

We arrived and were seated quickly and efficiently.Our waitstaff greeted us warmly and helped us choose a delightful wine. We ordered our food - steak frites; medium for my 88 year old Mom, and the scallops/pork belly appetizer at appx. 7:45. Then we waited and waited and waited . No one came to check on us, or to tell us the kitchen was behind; nothing. We ran out of h20...dinner arrived at 8:45. The steak was cold and rare, on the edge of blue, and the scallops were over done. We had to ask for h20 when our waiter came to check on our first bites. My Mom was so hungry she had the shivers. We ate quickly, and left. It is Summer, it was busy- we get that. But, an hour wait, food not cooked to order and not acknowledging the situation... not ok.

We were there for an early dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Food was okay and our server, Katie, who was a trainer was nice and helpful. However, the other server, Daniella (???) was very rude and condescending. She did not acknowledge us at all and the service overall just wasn t what we expected from a fine dining restaurant.

Tonight I had an incredibly disappointing experience at The Modest Butcher. The service was abysmally slow from start to finish. It took 25 minutes just to get our drinks, and we had to wave down the server as there were no check-ins. Our food didnt arrive until 1.5 hours later, making for a painfully long 3-hour meal. When the food finally arrived, I was shocked by the quality and portion size. I paid $60 for a rack of lamb that consisted of just 3 small chops with about 1 ounce of meat each, cooked to medium well. This was an unacceptable value for the price. Despite being in good company and managing to joke about the laughable service and unjust expense, the overall experience was thoroughly disappointing. I would not recommend The Modest Butcher to anyone looking for a decent meal and good service.

This restaurant is one of my favorites in the Okanagan. The tenderloin steak is very high quality and rivals renowned steakhouses like Hy s but is more reasonably priced and is accompanied with a beautiful view of the Okanagan. It is a must order. I also tried the rib eye which wasn t as impressive as the tenderloin but was average. The bernaise sauce was delicious and the potatoes and broccolini are great and pair well. Ask your server for a wine reco and you will not be disappointed. Don t miss out on this gem whenever you are in Kelowna next.

We recently dined at The Modest Butcher and, unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. Our reservation wasn t found upon arrival, creating an uncomfortable and awkward first impression. We were initially seated on the outside patio, which was very windy and cold. There were no heaters, but the staff did provide blankets. After asking twice, we were eventually brought inside. The evening continued with several service mishaps. Our appetizer arrived after 15 minutes and was quite good, but the main course took an hour to arrive. The tomahawk steak was lukewarm, and the garlic butter was not melted. During our meal, we noticed there were no napkins, and it took 20 minutes before a staff member checked in on us. Even then, we had to request napkins ourselves. We also had to ask for takeout boxes and were left to package our leftovers. Additionally, we needed ramekins for side sauces and had to make a second request for a spoon to serve the sauces. These continual service issues were frustrating. On a positive note, the cocktails were good, and the food itself was well-prepared. However, the service was below average, with a young and inexperienced staff. For a meal costing over $275 for two, especially for the most expensive item on the menu, I expected exceptional service and quality control. Overall, while the food was good, the subpar service left us feeling like an undervalued customer. We likely won t return, as the service needs to match the food quality to ensure a great customer experience.

local here. We love that we are walking distance from this restaurant! Great food, excellent service. Seats on the deck, however are rock hard and not comfortable. Would also be nice if you added some pots of flowers on the patio. It is a spectacular view, but atmosphere could most def improve with a bit more effort to make the patio feel and look more appealing. Inside atmosphere is very bright too.

Ok so, we had a long table dinner of 10. picture this from the theater of your minds- ok? Family dinner, good Friday (THESE GUYS ARE BUSY) Rhea? Rhia? Reaha? Not sure on the spelling but the establishment will know, swoops in with the most kind and attentive service... We are an eastern European family, we arent easy - but she handles it like a champ. Then comes Logan, charisma, personality 10/10. Followed up with amazing food and beverage - if I cared about hockey, I think its what they call a hat trick . I wouldnt recommend to bring MY family there, but the fact they could handle us with such joie de vivre, Id recommend you bring yours. Easy. Go to modest Butcher

I recently enjoyed my office awards night here and really enjoyed the food and service. I m not sure if it was part of the regular menu, but the canapés were delicious!

I was there on Sunday April 7,2024 for an early dinner, this was my second time eating there. Had a great experience the first time.. this time around the food lacked of attention, my Halibut was dry as a rock.. The presentation itself lacked of something, my partner steak was okay but again very flat on presentation. Our server looked overwhelmed, that he made us feel like we were in a fast food restaurant.. No attention at all on his part, made us feel rush and the most he spent at our table was to cash us out.

Edit: not sure why my review isnt showing up so I am adding this. Was expecting a bit better for a $400+ experience. Overall it was good but not 5 stars. Been wanting to come here for quite some time but have been pretty busy during the Summer. Made reservations about two weeks in advance for a belated anniversary dinner. Arrived and still had to wait over 10 minutes for a table. Not a huge deal but a bar to wait at or something would have been nice. Our server was nice and apologized for any wait times and to bear with her since they were busy/short staffed. It did seem pretty busy for a Monday evening. We shared a charcuterie board and added a wedge of cheese. The tomatillo sauce and housemade nduja was great. The server didnt get into any specifics of the other meats. Overall the board was pretty good. The drinks were pretty on point. Cant complain about the wine. Cocktails were great and had a couple zero proof drinks with some rum added. Now for the main... The tomahawk ribeye. As this platter got served to our table it looked amazing! Huge tomahawk ribeye(pretty hard to find served around Kelowna) duck fat potatoes, broccolini, mushrooms, a compound butter on top, bearnaise/demi glace/chimichurri sauces, and a head of roasted garlic! Everything tasted amazing! Except.... The steak!? I was debating giving a 1 star review but I just cant. Maybe it was just a one off. The steak was cooked medium rare like we ordered. I love my steaks to have a good crust and a bit of char on the fat but the whole thing was just black and left a bitter taste in your mouth. (You can kinda tell in the photo, maybe they tried to cover it up with broccolini? Lol?) Does the executive chef only work weekends? Wouldnt expect a pro to send out a steak like it was. Would have been nice to have the full tomahawk in all its glory served on the board but it was pre-cut and partially covered. Overall it was pretty cool but I would probably just order a regular ribeye next time, or better yet just pull a nice dry-aged ribeye from the ager at home. Will definitely come back, just dont know when. Burger sounds good, or maybe if I see steak tartare on the menu.

Had been for a while really looking forward to this place for months. When the dine around kelowna menu came out a bunch of us decided to go there. My appy the (Brussel sprouts) which sounded amazing on the menu tasted like horse food . I didnt really care about the appy as i was looking forward to the land and sea meal which was steak and prawns in which I ordered medium rare. After a bite of that I just felt it didnt have much flavor and same with the prawns and the steak was also more closer to rare .. didnt care for the fries with the mayo either. Lastly I had the lemon cheesecake which ended up not being a cheesecake at all and was more or a deconstructed pudding in a small cup with a Graham wedge. Overall I didnt really care for one bite of my meal and felt disappointed paying with tip 80 for that. Others at the table also ordering from the dine in around kelowna menu felt similar. I didnt even bother to take pics of my food.

I am all about honesty, and I will be honest. My husband and I had been to Modest Butcher a few times, and loved it; however, we went another time a few months ago and didnt have the best experience. I believe in professional courtesy, so I reached out to the manager. I can truthfully say that the way he (Aaron) handled the situation was nothing shy of incredible. We understand that restaurants will have bad days, but that doesnt make them a bad restaurant. This is true for Modest Butcher. We decided to give them a try last night, with the driving reason being how Aaron handled the situation. I am not sure what they have done since our last experience, but they are (now) setting a very high standard for dining experiences in the Okanagan; from the service to the food, all the way to the wine and cocktail menu. Logan was amazing, and as people who have dined at a fair amount of Michelin Star places, he provided the same level of service. As a local who has been in the Okanagan for over 30 years, it is often difficult to recommend places to go. Not anymore. If you are looking for a great atmosphere, top-notch service, and mouth-watering food, head to Modest Butcher. Thank you to the team for proving why the Okanagan is a great place for wine and food lovers.

There is simply not enough words to say about how wonderful of an experience you will have at Modest Butcher. My boyfriend and I frequent this restaurant on date nights for not only the food, but the staff. Quinton deserves the highest praise, for being so accommodating - From booking our reservations each time, to exceptional service and making sure we are always taken care of, but also making us feel like we really are important within our dining experience each time we dine there. Our server tonight Colby, went over the top to ensure our dietary needs were met, and we had the most lovely time chatting with him. In the past, the chefs Alex and Zach have personally come to our table to explain our dishes and ensure that my dietary needs were taken care of, which always makes me extra comfortable and valued as a guest in this space. If you haven t tried this restaurant, I highly recommend. Some of the best food in the Okanagan, and the most accommodating, kind staff! We will be back again and again!

Took wife there for her Birthday supper. Experience was ok, not horrible but not great. Started off by waiting almost 15 min for someone to take a drink order.

I would recommend they add some acoustic tiles to deaden the sound and take a couple tables out of the seating area.

Went for dinner with neighbours last night. It was our first visit. I had heard good things about the restaurant and we were not disappointed. Everyone was impressed. Colby, our serve was excellent and accommodated all of our little requests with grace. What impressed me the most was that everything was very flavourful. We can heartily recommend all that we ordered - Gnocchi, Roasted Brussels,Tenderloin with Bearnaise, Halibut and the Pork Chop. Be sure to try the divine Creme Brulee. Very pleased to see decent wine-by-the-glass offerings and a very good list of wines by the bottle. Dining out these days can be expensive so go for the best. We will definitely be returning to try some of their other offerings. (So sorry I didnt take photos.)

First time to this eatery. Very disappointed and not impressed with the quality of the food. Service was good, atmosphere was nice with good view. Restaurant is very loud though but some would like that. My biggest complaint was my expectation given the cost and total lack of imagination coming out of the kitchen considering the prices of the entrees. One of the meals (halibut) was cold. Pork chop was tough (whats with the thimble of Dijon straight of the jar as a dip for the chop). Steak was small and underdone. Apparently the hamburger was good. I could go on but I think Ive said enough. Management were very apologetic but that doesnt make the experience any better. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Heard their adds on the radio many times, decided to try them, made a reservation online. Drove all the way there, no table. Oh, they had lots of empty tables but none for us.

Well, let me tell you folks, I recently had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into one of the best burgers Ive ever had at a vineyard in Kelowna. And to top it all off, I got to enjoy this burger with a nice glass of red wine, overlooking the beautiful vineyard. It was like all the flavors and aromas were working together in perfect harmony.

Great ambience, fantastic setting, and lovely vibe. We had dinner there tonight and I truly enjoyed my Things on Toast and the tender loin . . . when it finally arrived. That said, everything on the menu was overpriced and the service was severely lacking. The kitchen could not keep up with the orders and the wait staff were lackluster- slow to respond, overlooking guest orders. almost argumentative when asked for something other than ordering (like cutlery!). They were not well trained and everything about the dinner service seemed out of sequence between the kitchen and the wait staff. It was our first time here and I had heard great things but I was disappointed.

For starters as much as the Brussels sprouts were amazing, the poutine was bad. Sadly it was the worst poutine Ive hate (and I did eat hundreds as Im from Quebec (home of poutine). A poutine needs french fries,enough cheese and a thick (gravy) sauce. 2 out of 3 failed to deliver. The New York cut steak was very good but nothing special and the veggie main course as well. The service was great! 3 stars is too low, 4 is too high.

We had a reservation for 7pm. Waitress took our dinner order 10 mins later. We requested a starter, side of potatoes and a main to all come together so we could share. This was our first visit and we were looking forward to it. Our main arrived at 7.50pm ....we decided to start eating in the hope the other dishes would come out soon.Sadly they didnt until 15 mins later and the scallops were cold. The food was tasty however the time it took, lack of communication and temperature were sadly lacking. I would ignore inflated prices if the service and quality justify it.

Weve only heard good reviews and saw nice pictures of their food here.. BUT It turned out the opposite. Its very strange, it seems that all the people who leave five-star reviews here have never eaten good food. We got a table on the side of their patio. You can still see a bit of the mountains, but mostly, youre looking at a beautiful cement wall right in front of your eyes. The distance between the tables is less than 1 m, so it feels like you are sitting in a huge company of strangers who can literally look into your mouth. You will enjoy their conversations and emotions. Its not very exciting, especially when you just wanted to spend time with your loved one in a private corner over a nice meal and a glass of wine. Tables and seats are absolutely uncomfortable, our table was wobbly, the seat was without armrests, so we had to look for other seats on the patio ourselves and move them. We were excited about the good food. Their famous dish with a huge piece of meat in beautiful pictures on Google costs $150. Had to make do with smaller alternative dishes. Okay, for $70, you usually expect something professionally made anyway. Instead, you are served burnt broccoli, tasteless boiled mushrooms or just two slices of bread, and between them a dried dry piece of bison without any fancy fillers (just a dry piece of meat) called a burger. Its good that after leaving the restaurant, we realized to inquire about their testing. And this time on their lower patio was much better. So this is a new lesson for me. Food may look beautiful in pictures, but it doesnt always taste as good as expected.

The drinks and food were overpriced, I know it a winery, but when they found out it was someone s birthday they brought out a birthday cupcake , with a candle. But when we received the bill, they actually charged us $6 for the cupcake that we never asked for. The cupcake maybe cost 50 cents to make. We spent a total of about $800 between the 12 of us. 6 of us were children. Just kinda sad

Came for a birthday party with reservations as a group 12. Once we arrived we were told we had to be split up into a group of 7 and 5. One group sent to the patio, and one to the dining room. During our entire visit no other tables were sat on the patio so must have been some sort of staffing or managerial issue? Either way pretty disappointing. On top of this the service was extremely slow and our other group got food drinks and desert before our entrees came out. So they were forced to sit around with paid bills for over an hour. Once the bills eventually came we were forced to as per policy pay a 20% auto gratuity due to our party being 8 members or more. Keeping in mind we were forced to sit and eat as two seperate parties each less than 8 in attendance. If felt as though the poor service was due to the servers knowing that autograt was in effect. I wont be giving the modest butcher another try.

To kick off, the service was a 10, the staff were full of energy and on top of their stuff, really on the ball. The views were top notch from the outdoor seating. The marinated feta appetizer was delicious: the flavours blended nicely and the bread wasnt heavy. The steak was disappointing, my medium heat was cooked well done and partly charred. Being short for time I didnt argue it. For the $, maybe I should have. Come for the views and the service, but cant recommend the steak at this time. Hope that gets fixed up for the next dinner service.

How to describe like Cactus Club after a rush at shift change. If this is the type of place you are after, go to Quails Gate 20 times before you come here. It had way better food, quality service and great ambience. Not even in the same ball park. Came here because it was recommended to us and staying in the area. Stop in for a tasting and to buy wine, don t stay to eat. Came here for dinner and were seated in the worst table in the whole restaurant despite making a reservation weeks in advance on a Monday, asking to move (I believe to the shift lead at the time) and it being a slow night. Throughout the evening saw many tables with the view we d asked for that were empty all night after being told there weren t any window or patio seats, by this point was too annoyed to ask to be moved a second time. When the food arrived we didn t have cutlery, our wine glasses were empty and didn t get asked if we wanted another drink until I was on my last bite. Decided to just get a bottle to take home at that point vs order another glass. Food was just okay. The next day because we were staying nearby and it was recommended by various people who were surprised by what we said, we gave it another chance. This time we did get patio seating, but the service was awful again. After ordering from one server we got someone new. We saw food come out and asked her what it was and the server said it was from their lunchables menu but that ended 5 minutes ago we had been there for 20. Just skip it. There are so many other places.

Steaks were not cooked properly 2 weeks in a row both came blue rare inside when ordered medium and well done each time. Most bothersome was the first week and time it happened I was offered mine to be cooked more, when it was brought back it was still blue so they offered to cook it even more lol , I refused as the meat was ruined by then and was not offered another meal so came home and ate, the second week was my husbands steak and he was offered a whole new one right away ! Both meals were removed from the bill but i found it very interesting how my situation and his were handled so differently, do women not deserve to eat ? The food better be spectacular for these prices and this was not. We are looking for a good steak ,as stated in your name, modest butcher, that lead us here, were not looking to pay for your building on a common Okanagan view property . We will not be returning.

Kudos to Logan and all the members of the team at The Modest Butcher for treating my wife and me to yet another memorable evening at West Kelownas best restaurant. If the calming lake and vineyard views along with impeccable service arent motivation enough for you to visit, then absolutely go for the food. Their Things on Toast starter which has been a creative staple of the Butchers menu ever since its opening several years ago should be awarded the best restaurant dish in the Kelowna region. The toppings are constantly changing, and my wife and I have reached the point where we dont even bother to ask about the current medley of farm-to-table fixings that will be adorning the country loaf and whipped feta - we just know that it is bound to be a taste bud treat. My wife is a vegetarian, and loves the Harvest Salad, and for me the savoury burger will always bring me back. I know that as a winery restaurant one should probably focus on the wine offerings (especially the 2020 Rust Wine Lazy River Syrah), but I want to compliment the staff on their choice of beer. The Modest Butcher carries Lakesiders Skinny Dip Lager. Not only is The Lakesider our favourite West Kelowna watering hole, but I think it is grand that the Butcher is supporting other local entrepreneurs in the hospitality business. How much do we enjoy our time at The Modest Butcher? Our reservation has already been confirmed for next week!

While its a beautiful restaurant and the winery is amazing, I have gone twice now ordering steak both times as medium rare. First time was the NY striploin, came overcooked as medium. Second time was the tenderloin which came very undercooked, a sliver of of brown then a sliver of pink. The rest was raw to the point of being basically blue rare. Had to send it back to cook more but of course at that point you cant really salvage it to a proper cooked steak. I can appreciate they took it off the bill (thank you), but unfortunately that doesnt cover the lost experience of a good meal with family. Your steak cooks need some more training, cant start a thick tenderloin at the same time as halibut (dads halibut came out overcooked, his wifes striploin overcooked like mine was last time). Consider oven cooking the tenderloin after searing (dont think they do this as the outside was near black, with raw inside). I was surprised the tenderloin even left the kitchen like that, even before cutting it it was clearly undercooked with a simple touch of a finger, picking it up with tongs you should notice it moves like gelatin. For a place with butcher in the name I expected a properly cooked steak, and have been let down both times. I have to say I cant risk it again at this point and cant recommend it to anyone.

Everything was brought out and presented wonderfully. Top notch experience. We highly recommend for a date night, girls date, special occasion or whenever you re hungry! Wheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator to go down to the wineshop. Accessible for all.

We were 5 people dining out to celebrate a birthday. The food was enjoyed by all- but we will never be back! The noise level was so high that we couldn t have a conversation without shouting into another person s ear. Really really disappointing. There need to be considerable work done on the acoustics.. the staff acknowledged that the noise level was too high. Please fix this before you loose more customers.

Certain things that you must try, would be easy, Philly cheesesteak, the pate, muscles and fritz were really well done, The Brussel sprouts were hands-down, some of the best we ve ever had. They also had fresh tuna tacos, which were delicious. If you want to ball out on a budget, Check out the happy hour!

DAVID IS THE BEST!!!! Great service = great restaurant, and David is the definition of great service. The food is amazing and David is amazing at answering any menu questions. He was so great we remembered him from last time (6months ago) and almost called just to ask if we could be in his section. Modest bistro is definitely one of the best spots in Kelowna.

December 22, 2023

We arrived a little bit early, they told us that our table wasn t quite ready it was being set. We were still waiting for two other couples, so that was fine . Our friends all showed up, and we all waited and waited some more 35 minutes after arriving we finally got our table by the bar in front of a monstrous television set that was blindingly bright. Immediately the server changed the screen to just a nice pleasant photo however, it was still very bright. She was very nice and brought over a little glass of wine for each of us to have a taster and to apologize for the delay in getting us seated. So bear with me here because this sounds like they are doing their best to make our evening nice. And we were very very happy up to this point other than waiting for our table. She goes on to explain to us that they have been slammed with walkins, and didn t have enough staff to cover everything. Slammed with walk-ins? The first thing you do when you re slammed with walk-ins and you have reservations coming in is say to the walk-ins. Sorry you re going have to wait until we seat our reserved tables before we can sit you. Common sense? Again she s brought the wine. They ve given us the menus we have a table so we should be happy yes. We all order our food and some more drinks and proceed to chat amongst ourselves and enjoy your evening until over an hour later, we realize we still don t have our food including the appetizers. And we start to ask where is our food, no food. We wait a little longer. Finally all the food starts to come out,ALL of it. The appetizers and mains all together at the exact same time. And the server tells us she didn t know we wanted or appetizers first. Very strange. So service is not great but probably the food will make up for it because we ve heard good things. No such thing. We found out that the head chef was not there that night, and they had a lot of young people working in the kitchen. The food was terrible. Had it only been the matter of the service getting us seated and bringing our food very late we would ve been fine because the food would ve made up for it but it did not. I ordered the steak and Frites and that piece of meat Was so hammered and dry and no seasoning. Absolutely zero I don t even think it was sitting next to a salt shaker that s how unseasoned it was. The french fries were dry over cooked and the size of hashbrowns from a bag. You could not even call these french fries they were so small. And again little pellets. The truffle mayo that they served with it was out of the bottle with a bit of truffle something waved near it. Definitely did not have the truffle taste. And it was about an ounce of mayonnaise. My husband ordered a lamb sandwich which was to have some kind of barbeque sauce on it. They didn t bring that so he asked where it was they brought it in a little tin dish and it was cold straight out of the bottle barbeque sauce. I could go on. But I ll just end this by saying who s running this place? And why do they not have it under control? It s a huge restaurant. It looked beautiful from the restaurant part. the bar not so crazy for that but oh well. Had I planned to sit in a bar? I would ve gone to one. Just not impressed at all and I never go back to a place that takes my money and gives me bad service and bad food. This one is a miss if you re considering it.

Wonderful intimate place to enjoy a nice dinner in the Winter.

December 22, 2023

I recently dined at The Modest Butcher and unfortunately had an incredibly disappointing experience. From the moment we entered, there was no one to greet us, leaving us standing awkwardly. Eventually, when a waiter did arrive, the service was unprofessional and disorganized. Orders were consistently mixed up, and the drinks were served embarrassingly late. In fact, one of the drinks arrived just as we were getting ready to leave an unacceptable delay considering it should have been served with our meal. Throughout our time there, our assigned waiter was nowhere to be found, despite there being only a handful of occupied tables in the restaurant. It wasnt as if they were overwhelmed with customers. The lack of attentive service made it difficult to address our concerns or ask for any needed assistance. Even more disappointing was the quality of the food. Our starters, the gnocchi and warmed olives, were incredibly salty, to the point where it overpowered any other flavors. It felt as if we were licking a salt block rather than enjoying a well-balanced dish. Moving on to our mains, both the butcher burger and crispy chicken burger were extremely overcooked. Additionally, the fries that accompanied both burgers were served cold, further adding to our dissatisfaction. The halibut we ordered was extremely overcooked, and given its exorbitant price of $50, the portion size was disappointingly small. Additionally, I feel compelled to mention that the guest who ordered this dish fell ill later that night, leading me to suspect that the quality of the halibut may have been the cause as they felt completely fine during the day. While we sincerely hope that this was an isolated incident and that the management takes necessary measures to address these issues, we cannot, based on our recent experience, recommend dining at The Modest Butcher. It is worth mentioning that we have dined at The Modest Butcher on several previous occasions and had experienced good service and excellent food. However, our recent visit was a complete letdown in terms of both service and food quality. We were disappointed by the lack of attention provided to our concerns by the absent waiter. Considering our past positive experiences, we can only hope that this was an anomaly and that the management takes necessary steps to rectify these issues. As it stands, we cannot recommend The Modest Butcher based on our recent visit.

Pros: The view from the restaurant was nice and the drinks were tasty. Cons: Our reservation was not ready for us and we were sat at a different table. The water glasses were dirty. Our server clearly forgot about us. We had been waiting a long time when he came back around to confirm our orders. Two other tables he was serving had been sat 30 min after us and got their food before us. When our meals did arrive they were both wrong. I had the burger, and I recommend not getting it. A&W makes a better burger for 1/4 the price; theirs aren t cold either.

December 22, 2022

Ordered the tomohawk steak and it took over an hour to come out half way through the chef came out to show me the steak off the grill and didn t receive the steak and sides till 25 mins later.. the steak was cold by then.

Loved the look of the place unfortunately it missed on several points. One being service. I know it must be so hard to get staff right now so I was very understanding especially of the wet behind the ears trying hard young staff. However, the disorganization between who was actually serving our table made the service even slower. We sat and watched several tables who arrived later get their drinks served and dinner order in while we waited to just put our drink order in. When someone came to check on us I had to point out our drinks (we had been waiting for 30 minutes by then) we re sitting on the bar. It just felt very disorganized and not the level of service you expect when you are paying for a bit more expensive food. They were very kind to move us outside as we were freezing in the aircon. The patio was really lovely so we really appreciated that. My husband s steak and potatoes were very tasty. My daughters burger was definitely not on the best burger we ve had (very greasy, no tomato or lettuce, tons of mayo) and my $30+ salad had just chunks of lardon & raw unprocessed very hard and sour rhubarb with nothing else but lettuce. We had dinner a couple of nights later at another winery, paid less and had way better food and service. Definitely a pass - I would not go back or recommend the Modern Butcher. Mt. Boucherie wines however are quite good. So do the winery and skip the restaurant.

We dro]Ed in for a late lunch and never wanted to leave! The views were amazing but the service and food were even better. We started with the pork belly, which was tender, tasty and melt in your mouth delicious. The Brussel sprouts were finely shredded, roasted to perfection and served over a generous portion of hummus then drizzled with pomegranate molasses and minted yogurt. Heaven! By this time we were pretty full and thought we should probably just split a meal but FOMO forced us to oder both the chicken sandwich and the pasta puntanesca. These simple dishes were so perfectly prepared that we didnt leave a bite behind. Our only regret was skipping dessert. I guess we will just have to go back...

December 22, 2022

My family and I came here for my birthday and ordered appetizers and main courses. After we had eaten the appetizers it took them an HOUR to get our main courses out. No one told us what was going on and our server kept avoiding us. I get that delays happen in the kitchen but no one said a single word to us about anything for the entire hour. We finally ended up speaking to someone at the front and asked them to take our food to go as we had plans. The worst part is that they charged us for everything on the bill. Ive worked in the restaurant industry for 6 years and I was shocked that they didnt comp anything for a meal we didnt even get to eat there. When I asked to speak with a manager, a kid no older than maybe 18, very rudely told us that they were doing us a favor by being able to get us in the restaurant and that I of all people should understand that the kitchen can experience delays when they are busy. This was hands down one of the worst experiences Ive had in a long time and this place should really look for some new management. (maybe a manager over the age of 18 would have enough experience to be able to better handle situations like these).

December 22, 2022

Can honestly say that Ive never ever experienced service as poor as I did when we ate here last night. We were sat in the lounge, ordered drinks, appies and a main. After the drinks it took 45 minutes to get our appies. After appies our food only came after we had spoken to the manager, our server and were standing at the front waiting for it come out as takeout. The managers we spoke to were incredibly rude and dismissive and our server was nowhere to be found. When we ate (in our car) the food was fast food level. I ordered the chicken burger and wished it was more poultry and less batter. The steak sandwich was pitiful and the fries were chalky. Do not recommend ever going here. At the end of our experience we received excuses and a bill that was much too overpriced.

We werent even compt and then to find out from our wine tour guide the salt had been an issue before that, and they had complained about it before.... Anyways if you like salt, hit it up.

Our food was tasty, the ambience was noisy but still great and Garrett was very friendly, joyful and gave us great customer service. I ordered crab legs with my dinner (tenderloin with a side of potatoes and mushrooms) and it was served cold. Not a fan of cold crab legs and never had them that way so I asked Garrett to heat it up for me once I was done cracking it all up. It was no problem, he brought it out just the way I like it! All 4 of us enjoyed our dinner and his service l. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!! Thank you!!

Our second time here. Our first was when they just opened and it was a horrendous experience. Friends invited us to meet here for dinner and as we firmly believe everyone is entitled to a second chance we enthusiastically agreed. We arrived first and we were greeted promptly by the hostess. Requested a patio table for which we were fortunate to get the last table. Only 2 tables in the restaurant were occupied, the patio was full. Once seated it took our server a while to come by. No big deal, we weren t in any rush. She finally came by and we ordered drinks. She messed that up our friends arrived, again it took a while for our server to come by. She finally did and took one of our friends drink orders but quickly walked away without talking his wife s drink order the server came by about 10 min later asking if we were ready to order food for which I responded perhaps but we are still waiting for my friends drink to arrive. She quickly disappeared and returned drink in hand (but it was wrong).The evening went on and on like this with requests needing to be made multiple times. This time the food was good (not great) my wife and I shared the ribeye and the marinated feta bites but the service was off the charts bad. Our friends ordered the halibut and the chicken sany. Both were reportedly good but a complaint of the portion size of halibut was offered. It s really unfortunate as the atmosphere/view lends itself to such an amazing experience yet 2 times in and we ve yet to have that experience .

The Modest Butcher is my favourite place to dine and sip wine. My friends and I had a long and luxurious lunch today. Alysha took great care of us and her recommendations were on point. The pork belly was delicious and the mushroom pasta dish, and the squash risotto were favourites. If I have special occasions, lunch with friends, or just want a night out, I know I will always be impressed with the food, service and vibe at the Modest Butcher. Special shout outs to Alysha and Aaron for making us feel so special.

Huge praise for the team at modest butcher! I had a dinner reservation for dinner at modest butcher for myself and 11 others (or so I thought). I had not confirmed the table like I thought I had and did not reply to the email sent to me from the kitchen. The night of the dinner I called to double check and found out about my own personal blunder! The team at modest however managed to make it work and got us in, in fantastic time as well I may add! High praise from all of us, and a huge thanks!

Service was very slow, but it was largely due to the fact, there was only one waitress who was working as hard as she could and could not keep up. Food was average, but nothing to write home about. The first appetizer was not cooked through, and our crème brûlée for dessert wasn t set. Overall they failed to meet the standards they set for themselves with their prices.
