Modern Vineyard Cuisine inspired by our Indigenous roots. We proudly sit on the traditional land of the Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation. Our inspiration for the name of our new signature restaurant comes from a chaptik story passed down through the generations of our First Nations people of the Okanagan.
The Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation approach to food is based on the creation stories of their culture and we’ve taken their stories as the inspiration for the name of our restaurant: “The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The Berry,” based on the story of the Four Food Chiefs.
The Four Food Chiefs are central: Skimxist Black Bear (chief of animals, representing self-sacrifice, leadership, giving), Ntytikxw Chinook Salmon (water creatures, perseverance, hard work), Speetlum Bitterroot (plants below the round, relationships to the land) and Seeya Saskatoon Berry (plants above ground, growth, strength, community) are legendary and the elements of indigenous cuisine.

Beautiful setting for an incredible meal. The server was amazing and had a good sense of humour. Wine prices were a little high, considering wine from right next door, so we opted for beer and highballs. Over-all great experience.

Unfortunately the eggs Benny was very disappointing and the potatoes were very bland. 3 of us ordered and didn’t eat more than half. The one that got the French toast really enjoyed theirs though.
The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The BerryResponded on November 23, 2023
Dear Guest, thank you for your review. I am upset to hear that you did not enjoy your breakfast experience. This is not up to our standard. I do hope that either your server or one of our leaders quality checked your meal so that we had an opportunity to rectify this issue during your meal. We are known for our Eggs Benedict served on house-made fry bread and from scratch hollandaise so I am surprised to hear you found it disappointing. I have shared your feedback with the kitchen in hopes that we can improve in the future. Once again, we truly appreciate your loyalty and will use this feedback as a learning opportunity. We do hope that you will come back to give us another try in the future. Abby Neufeld, Food & Beverage Outlets Manager.

The food was spectacular but service quite slow and inattentive. Waited for 30 minutes after clearly done eating for wait staff to even come near enough to flag down. It’s unfortunate because it’s a lovely restaurant and the food was fantastic.
The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The BerryResponded on October 12, 2023
Dear Guest, thank you for your review. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your food but upset to hear that the level of service was lacking. This is not to our standard. As seen with our other reviews, we do pride ourselves on top-notch consistent service. Clearly we dropped the ball here. We were happy to be so busy and were experiencing higher than normal business volumes during Thanksgiving Weekend. Paired with the beautiful weather and full resort, we may have overdone it. It is our fault for biting off more than we could chew, as we tried our best to not have to turn any parties away. We do truly appreciate the feedback and will use this as a learning moment to improve. We hope that you will come back and try us another time. Abby Neufeld, Food & Beverage Outlets Manager.

Dear Guest, thank you for your review. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed our Salish Sea Clams but upset to hear that you didn't enjoy the Bison Strip Loin. I will share your feedback with the culinary team so that we can improve our cooking technique in the future. Occasionally, there is tough cut of meat, especially as bison contains much less fat than beef. That being said, we are always happy to replace a dish when a guest is not happy. We hope to invite you back for another visit in the future so that we can rectify this issue. All the best and hope to see you again. Abby Neufeld, Food & Beverage Outlets Manager.

Dear Guest, thank you for your review. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent dining experience with us.

The pastry and fruit plate that use to come with brunch has been eliminated as well as the portions. From past experience we could’ve easily shared but this time we noticed portions have been cut back significantly. They weren’t around to top off our coffee as well.
The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The BerryResponded on October 3, 2023
Dear Guest, thank you for your review. We always appreciate feedback and I will review your comments with our kitchen team. Unfortunately with the continuous rising costs of certain food items, there are particular dishes where we did have to increase our prices slightly over the last year. That being said, we are known for our generous portions so I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed. I will provide feedback to my service team as coffee refills are definitely something that should be provided non-stop throughout your meal. I am truly upset that your experience was only sub-par as we strive for excellence here. We hope to invite you back again in the future for another try. Abby Neufeld, Food & Beverage Outlets Manager.

We ordered the Ling Cod and the Elk Loin for dinner with a bottle of Maverick Syrah. The food was absolutely delicious and served to our liking. The elk was rare as requested and the au jus superb. The ling cod was crispy on the outside and moist in the middle with pasta al dente and two wonderful sauces with spinach and chirozo. We finished every bite. We shared a delightful Black Forest dessert to top the meal off. The staff were kind and helpful. They changed our table to a window seat when one became available. They refilled our wine glasses and checked with us to make sure everything was good. It is our favourite restaurant in Osoyoos.

Great restaurant with a lovely patio and outstanding view. Menu is very interesting and the food delicious. The only gripe is the $$-$$$ rating; the prices are not inexpensive so I think a $$$ would be more appropriate.

Another wonderful meal on a beautiful day. Not crowded because of the fires and the Highway 97 rock slide

Amazing views and loved the burger. Inga’s cocktail suggestion was just wonderful. A must visit for brunch when in Osoyoos on the weekend.

Dear Guest, thank you for your review. I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your recent dining experience with us. We are so lucky to have such an outstanding team all around. We do keep our food menu seasonal and locally inspired, which does mean a smaller selection. That being said, I'm grateful that you appreciated the quality. We aim for a slow food approach and take our time with delivering our plates. Cheers and all the best! Abby Neufeld, Food & Beverage Outlets Manager.

Don’t think energetic is how I’d explain the noise level! We were seated outside, at our request, but beside a table of very loud ladies and their young daughters. They were so loud at times I couldn’t hear my lunch partner! Was just kind of disappointing as we go there to have a nice upscale meal.

Dear Guest, thank you for your review. We do pride ourselves on offering a relaxing atmosphere and a nature induced ambiance and I am sorry that you did not experience that. We are somewhat limited with inside seating but do offer an expansive patio area. In the future when possible, our team would be happy to accomodate a request for a move to another quieter section of the patio. Cheers and all the best. We hope to welcome you back another time. Abby Neufeld, Food & Beverage Outlets Manager.
