The Rotten Grape

The Rotten Grape
An eclectic out of the way small restaurant downtown Kelowna, right by the water. Upon entering you notice large modern paintings on the walls and quaint small tables and benches, They also have a nice patio located on busiest walking street in Kelowna with a view of the park and lake. If you're with friends for drinks, I recommend the people watching action of the patio; however, if you’re looking for more intimate company chose the quiet less hectic inside. On Thursdays they have a local man come in to play guitar.

I loved the diversity of the menu, but it took me a very long time to decide what I wanted and included everything from exotic pizza to home made soup and entrees. The food is all purchased from local farmers and is all organic or as much as possible. The Rotten Grape is the first to offer an enomatic wine system in BC; this means that any wine offered by the glass is in a special system that won’t allow air to enter the bottle so the first glass is the same as the last no matter how long the bottle has been open.

The service however was not good. We got seated and ordered with the same waitress and half of the way through we ended up with another with no explanation also my companion ordered the special soup of the day and was told that it was a tomato, that it was not spicy and very lovely however, the soup that was delivered turned out to be a cream of asparagus? When I questioned this I was told that the tomato was yesterday’s soup? Fortunately my companion loved it and luckily it was a happy surprise.

The rest of the food was phenomenal! To share we order a Cheese plate it came on a very nice wooden cutting board with nice knives including dates, nuts, and local cheeses. Duck my favourite was a small breast nice presentation but I had to purchase a side separate as there was none and it was $7 for boiled spinach.
