OAK + CRU is a fine dining restaurant located on Kelowna’s waterfront promenade in the Delta Grand Hotel. They recently introduced outdoor “dining bubbles” that will make you feel like you’re eating inside of a fish tank, if that's your thing.

It’s located waterfront, but on the lagoon side of downtown so the atmosphere is a bit quainter. I would recommend this spot for a business meeting or a first date, as it’s lively, but not overwhelming. Check out my reel of Oak + Cru here.
