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.

    We enjoyed an amazingly flavourful and delicious dinner at The Bear, The Fish, The Root and The Berry last evening. I had the beef bones and they were the most tender I have ever had. Accompanied with beautiful veggies. My husband had the bison steak which he thoroughly enjoyed. Our waitress, Ingrid (?), was lovely, attentive and charming. We look forward to returning.

    Lovely experience. Food was excellent and so was the service. It was dark so could not see the fantastic view but the grounds looked amazing. We will return. Thanks

    Dear Sue, Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us, from the food to the service. It's a shame the darkness hid the view, but we're delighted you still noticed the beauty of the grounds. We can’t wait to welcome you back—hopefully during the day so you can fully enjoy the scenery as well. See you soon! Warm regards, Peter Schwarz; Food & Beverage Manager

    The food was incredible and plated beautifully. It's a little crowded and it was busy so a bit noisy, but the space is small. The service was a little absent- once we received our food we didn't see our server again until we waved her over long after our plates were emptied. She also was very unfamiliar with bar terms. For the price of the food I would expect a little more upscale dining area and a much more knowledgeable and attentive server. But over all, the food was excellent and I would return.

It means a lot that you would return, and we look forward to providing an even better dining experience next time. Warm regards, Peter Schwarz; Food & Beverage Manager

    Service was amazing, food was amazing,atmosphere was ok. My only complaint was I wanted just one glass of red wine and the choice was 25,27, or 29 dollars for one glass which I thought was crazy expensive,,,,however the meal and service were so nice I forgot about he pricey wine after

    Treat yourself to this experience, we enjoyed our first one with friends so much we came back. Cheers to Oscar for making the night great from assisting with our wine selection and helping as we were a tad early, he made sure we were accommodated. I have to compliment the chef too for superb meals , 6 in total over two visits , all delicious and the presentation mouthwatering. When I come back to Osoyoos I will be dining here again.

    The unpleasant experience was not due to the staff or environment. They menu change was poor. Nothing looked appetizing so we left without ordering.
