Nightly special was sheepshead, which was very good. One person had the pork chop and iceberg wedge, one had salmon, one had chicken. All were very good and no one could eat dessert. Alex took very good care of us. WE will definitely come back soon.

About the restaurant
Our full-scale restaurant, Bistro Europa, is officially open! Our dining room is still in the design phase so all seating for food is outside under our Veranda Patio, or on picnic tables on the lawn. Our goal is to provide our guests with an inimitable guest experience with our friendly, well-versed, and knowledgeable team, who are an extension of our own family. We are 21+ across our venue. We will only serve water and wine. Tastings and wine will be offered Wednesday-Sunday. We will offer food Thursday-Sunday. Last reservation times depend on the booking day.

We knew of a new wine that had been released from the assistant winemaker Chris Habershaw. It was very important to us to support the hard work that he must have put in for this fine release. The blend of 50% Tannat and 50% Petit Verdot was a treat to our taste buds. We can see where this wine will go with time and should be ready when you are. It will pair with many items. Have fun with this. The food we had as usual was presented well and tasted amazing. Peace to all.

About the restaurant
Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

Please refer to our website for our dress code. It is enforced nightly.

We have been wine club members for a couple of years, and always enjoy coming to JOLO for the delicious food and fabulous wines. Today, after enjoying a wonderful hike on Pilot Mountain, we brought along another couple to JOLO for a relaxing lunch gazing upon the beautiful mountain and vineyards. A really great day to add to the memory book! Thank you, JOLO!!!

First you walk in and the delicious aroma assaults your senses. The food is extraordinary. I had the goat dish and my husband had the Sizzler dish. We ordered raita and naan on the side. All was amazing. The ambiance is casually elegant and the service was excellent. We will return.
