Service was great. My husband got the wild boar tenderloin which was excellent. It was my first time getting the crabcakes and was a little disappointed. Not as good as I had hoped. Not meaty enough. All the other food I've gotten there previously has been excellent. I'll just get something else the next time.

I enjoyed the crispy eggplant as the appetizer and the chocolate torte for dessert! However, what makes any dinner experience truly matter to me is the service and hospitality. Our server allowed me to try two different wines before deciding and was very understanding when I didn’t care for a food item that was ordered; She allowed me to pick something else. Also, she gave me a little dessert with a candle for my birthday. Tasting room is unique with their food in the best way and I’m glad I got to spend the evening trying out some new flavors.

We have been here several times and the experience has been exceptional. On this occasion the service and food was not to the expectations we had. One meal seemed underdone. We got the manager but we felt she was justifying the dish rather than understanding our POV.and taking action. Not a big fan of underdone pork, even if it was meant to be that way. There could have been a better outcome. Also, when I asked about a wine, the sommelier did not come to the table but advised the waitress that they did not know about the wine - hum, you sell a wine (not cheap) and you don't know about it and can't even come to the table?? Well, it was early in the week and perhaps they did not have the A team on that night?

Mussels appetizer was fantastic. Scallops perfectly prepared and the Stone Bass with a mushroom sauce was excellent. Service was good and timely, and we were seated at a window at our request after smaller table was unsatisfactory.
