Inspection summary

Black Pines Social has been inspected 2 times by Interior Health Authority since January 18, 2023. The most recent inspection, on April 3, 2025, recorded 2 infractions.

None of the 2 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 3, 2025. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on April 3, 2025. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

About this data

These results come from Interior Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.

2 inspections

  1. Monitoring

    2 infractions

    • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
      • Observation(s): Observation: several fridges throughout the facility did not have NSF thermometers for temperature monitoring. Corrective Action: Ensure all fridges have an NSF thermometer.
      • F2.1B A thermometer accurate within 1 °C must be available to monitor processes.
    • F2.5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
      • Observation(s): Observation: Scoops stored inside the bulk flour bins. Corrective Action: Store scoops outside the flour bins. If it is necessary to store scoops inside the bins, ensure that the handles are not in contact with the flour to prevent contamination.
      • F2.5G Foods must be stored in a manner to prevent contamination.
  2. Monitoring

    2 infractions

    • F1.7 Are foods protected from contamination?
      • Observation(s): Eggs and dairy stored above lemons, avocados and other fruits stored on shelf below in walk-in cooler. Corrective Action: Reorganize shelves so raw proteins (ex. raw meat and eggs) are on the bottom, then dairy and cheeses, fruits and vegetables, precooked product and items needed less/no preparation on top. Ensure raw proteins are placed on the bottom so juices do not potentially leak onto pre-cooked/no-cook items.
      • F1.7B Ready-to-eat foods must be stored in a manner that prevents cross contamination.
    • F2.5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
      • Observation(s): Ice scoop in back ice machine stored in ice. Corrective Action: Store ice scoop outside of ice. Ice is a ready-to-eat food item and the handle of the scoop may contaminate the ice from hand contact or if the scoop falls over in the ice. Ensure scoop is part of regular cleaning schedule. Remind staff of ice scoop storage. No sanitizer or cloth for steam wand. Corrective Action: Fill container with QUAT based sanitizer. Submerge cloth for at least 30 seconds between use. Wipe steam wand with cloth after use. QUAT based sanitizers do not degrade as fast from dairy content. Test or change sanitizer at least every 2 hours or when visibly dirty.
      • F2.5K Storage of equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils must prevent contamination.

    This place is fantastic!! Amazing food, good music and bingo?! I’m floored. The server was the best server I’ve ever had. She was so nice, made recommendations and was super quick when it was super busy. Definitely go here

    Been here many times before with fine service but this last time was very poor. The restaurant was not busy and we were one of the only tables seated inside. The server who is a big part of going out to a restaurant for apres ski drinks and snacks was cold and inpatient throughout. In my opinion she should not be working in customer service. She did not know the menu options well and shut down our questions. When asked a second time to clarify the menu options she was particularly dismissive and rude. It takes a special type of person to make you as the customer or client feel like an inconvenience. The food and atmosphere were good but good service is just as important. A regular at silverstar but won’t be back.

    Had a great dinner out with the family. This has been one of our favourite meals out on all the ski hills we have visited over the years. Food was delicious in a great atmosphere. I will say however that the service wasn’t spot on. As we had to ask for more water, drinks and cutlery.

    Stopped into Black Pine while we were at SilverStar and really enjoyed it. The tuna tataki was fresh, the karaage was awesome, and the ramen was actually the best flavour I've ever had. I was actually really surprised Service was solid and everything came out quick. We would definitely eat here again.

    Great service, welcoming atmosphere and good food. We started with the sticky ribs which were very good. Then two of us had burgers and one person had miso shiitake. All the meals were delicious.

    Went here for a slightly earlier than usual apres ski and it was quite empty, understandable if course. Service was still good and so was the good. Cocktails were better than a few of the other places on hill, so that was a nice surprise.

  • Maeva Campet

    Original food with Asian fusion but insanely slow service. We waited an hour to get our meals and some of it was undercooked. It’s shame to have this long wait for a restaurant that has great potential.
