The Firehall Bistro - News & Reviews
Okanagan Life Magazine - 2011 Best Restauraunt
Cruising into Oliver late last summer after a mind-blowing visit to the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, we were thinking, sandwich, and wondering where to stop. Imagine our joy when we realized that the lights were on in the old fire hall. Following a painful (for us) hiatus, food service has returned to this stylish historic property. That day the misters were working so hard around the shaded patio tables that it looked foggy outside. Water drops cascaded off the umbrellas and the roll-up fire engine doors were securely closed. We opted for air-conditioned comfort inside. The VQA wine shop was no more, but that expansive bar remains and the interior is still yummy with squashcoloured walls and cherry-stained tables. Chef Bill Reid has laid on something of a road house menu (and I say this with love) with lots of appies, burgers, triple-A steaks, sandwiches, pastas and a few more sophisticated entrées. —Laurie Carter

Great Food, Good Wine
I also appreciate their wine tasting program, so you can try before you invest in a whole glass or bottle and THEN find out you hate it. I've also had a lot of fun there. - Facebook Fan |
