Predator Ridge Golf and Resort

Predator Ridge is a beautiful area between Kelowna and Vernon and is home to the Predator Ridge Golf Resort and Sparkling Hill Resort.  I’d heard good things about the restaurant  at Predator Ridge and dinner  there lived up to the reputation. They had been closed for the winter and I thought that could lead to problems but it was as good as I’d heard.  They have an exceptional wine list and a good menu with something for everyone.  We shared a flat bread with mushrooms, caramelized onions, pesto and goat cheese, very good, it disappeared immediately.  Three of us for dinner, we tried the salmon, the chili crusted mahi mahi and sweet potato and ricotta gnocchi.  The fish dishes were both served with  mixed rice and plenty of vegetables.  A request for potatoes instead was “0f course, no problem”.  Service was casual and friendly,  yet attentive.  The food was all cooked perfectly, no overdone fish here.   The gnocchi was light as air and the sauce wasn’t overwhelming.  The wine list isn’t  exclusively Okanagan but local wines are well represented. We had a bottle of Hillside Pinot Gris and it reminded me that Hillside is a winery I’d like to revisit.  Predator Ridge Clubhouse offers a lively comfortable atmosphere with good food and wine.  A good choice after a day of golf or an afternoon at the spa.
