The view earns the cocktail. The cocktail earns the dinner.

Why this works

Knox Mountain does something to your head — forty minutes up top and the rest of the night feels earned rather than just scheduled. Skinny Duke's is the right decompression: low light, strong drink, no rush. The Modest Butcher in West Kelowna is the kind of room that rewards arriving a little tired and a little hungry.

No work talk

Whole night, work is off limits. If either of you breaks it, the rule-breaker buys the next round.
