Two local powerhouses in the service industry, are joining forces to create an unrepeatable rooftop patio experience in West Kelowna.

West Kelowna害羞草研究所檚 winery is getting ready to open the doors to its new rooftop restaurant collaboration with Kelowna害羞草研究所檚 restaurant (on Bernard Avenue).

The fusion will be called Salt & Thieves.

Emeleigh Brown, operations manager at Salt & Brick and its family of restaurants, has been hard at work putting the project together with hopes to get it open by July 9 (tentative date). A brand new open kitchen is currently being built atop the Crown & Thieves building, with equipment being crane lifted to the roof.

Salt & Brick lovers can relish in the restaurant害羞草研究所檚 atmosphere with arguably one of the best views in West Kelowna, overlooking endless vineyards.

James Holmes, chef at Salt & Brick, told the Capital News that it was the perfect partnership because these two companies think outside of the box.

Although, Parkes also has a thing for Renaissance art, taxidermy, and other non-1920s artifacts you can find at the winery. Patrons of Salt & Thieves will see that tied into the rooftop patio.

Salt & Brick has been putting Kelowna害羞草研究所檚 food scene on the map for years. Just months ago, the restaurant was featured on the Food Network害羞草研究所檚 Big Food Bucket List. Chef Holmes served up his signature dishes in the episode. In early June, he was on the network害羞草研究所檚 show called 害羞草研究所楩ire Masters害羞草研究所�; a competition cooking show that has three chefs compete using open flames outdoors.

Both trendsetting businesses are one-of-a-kind to Kelowna, and the menu will surely reflect that.

Holmes, known for his edgy dishes, said the food won害羞草研究所檛 be average fine dining style meals that you would normally find at a winery.
