    Great facility and service. Food was “quite nice.” Excellent service without being overwhelmed and the kitchen timing was perfect. We’ll going to give dinner a try in the hope the food is better.

    Enjoyed wine flights outside. Everyone was so gracious and accommodating especially with my husband’s disability in walking with a walker. Yummy wines. Had dinner inside and all 6 of us enjoyed our meals from burgers to marguerita pizza to lamb chops and tomorrow bisque and corn ribs.

    This is a beautiful property! We went to the winery for a tasting prior to our dinner reservations and was not greeted by anyone when we walked in. We eventually asked if we could seat ourselves. It took about 35 minutes before we had our tasting and we had to go inside to pay our check before dinner because no one checked us after we received our wine. The restaurant was very nice, but the service was slow.

    Lifelong friends met for dinner. Each couple arrived at different times, some to enjoy a glass of wine at the next door winery. Lots of luck. We sat on the outdoor patio for 15 minutes without any assistance. Checked Inside and were told someone would be with us. We still had no service. Proceeded to go inside and attempted to order 2 glasses of wine at the bar, after calling out for help. Finally… Dinner was good, nothing bad. Food arrived at different times for the table. This place has so much potential. It really needs some good management for this to be an exceptional destination.

    Very enjoyable lunch on a lovely day. Good food and nice atmosphere. We had Loaded Croissant and Margherita Pizza, and both were excellent. Our first time visiting, and will come again. We ate inside, but there's also a nice outside patio (but it was a bit too breezy that day for outside). Service was good, even though it was across the original server's lunch break; however, several others made sure we were taken care.

    Unexpected, high-end venue in a rural area. We are from the Napa Valley, and the place had a familiar vibe. Nice grounds, and the restaurant has an attractive interior. Our server was exceptional. They are on the right track with their menu, the onion soup en croute was a standout. Stronger quality control in the kitchen is needed to prevent dishes from being served underdone or lukewarm. Definitely worth another try, as they are trying to offer an upscale dining experience in an area where few are available. The prices seemed quite reasonable for what was on offer.

    Our waitress, Aniya, was amazing. She was able to seat us in the main dining room as I had out of town guests and wanted the ambiance of the wood beams, the chandeliers. Such a lovely room. The food was fabulous, beautiful presentation, especially with the smoked bacon. She was prompt with any request we had, and just made the entire dining experience for my guests even better. Will definitely return and ask for her!

    My husband & I stopped by for a wine tasting with plans for a later lunch at the restaurant. The wine is good (bought 3 bottles) but the food was absolutely surprising! Very charming restaurant & grounds . . . .we started with a spinach & artichoke dip that was divine . . . . I opted for something "lite" and ordered soup & salad from the starter menu - French Onion and Jardinere salad. What I got was extremely good but huge! I could have had just one and been completely satisfied. The salad had everything but the kitchen sink in it (very good) and the soup had a superb flavor I've never had. My husband had the burger and he was extremely satisfied --- would definitely recommend this Vineyard/Restaurant to anybody that loves wine and great food!

    First time. Chef has some amazing offerings. Never ordered a pizza in this type of restaurant but couldn’t resist. The toppings (candied bacon, sausage, etc) and flavors were married together for a super experience. All yummy. Paired with the Florence Vineyard’s wines and some creative cocktails, made the night. Well worth the drive.

    Food is amazing! The Caesar salad…phenomenal. Spinach Artichoke dip very flavorful. We were a party of 7 and everyone loved their food. The bar needs some help…but if you stick to wine, beer or a very simple cocktail it will be fine.

Can’t believe we hadn’t been and it’s been opened for a year! After brunch, we had a wine tasting on the patio of the tasting room to take advantage and of the weather. We will be back and taking our friends!

    We have been a few times. Each visit things get worse. A common problem is the service. Whereas every server is friendly, as a restaurant they just don't have their act together. Early this month there were two to 3 waiters standing by the kitchen but I had to get up 4x to ask for help including ask for the bill. I finally asked why and was told they were on break and 1 was taking care of everyone. Really, really poor management. This last time, very nice server, but slow. They had live music, it was good but it's a small room and it was way too loud. They were very accommodating and allowed us to move to a further away table. I appreciated that. Ordered a cappuccino, came out in clear mug. The cup was not quite half full. Absurd. Biscuits too salty to eat (they took off the bill, offered to make new but.. the baking soda salt taste ruined the craving). Waffles unpleasant flavor (even loads of syrup didn't help) chicken dry. We drive out from leander...nearly 50 min drive. We both agreed it may be a bit before we try again.

    We enjoyed the ambiance . Staff was very attentive. Also liked the fact the restaurant is a cozy size. The architecture and decor is clean and interesting, with classic styles from Italy to eclectic pieces on wall. Food was prompt and staff very courteous and friendly. We may have to make it a regular destination, if available in our schedules. Great experience.

    This was our first time to experience this restaurant. We were a little apprehensive as the Google reviews appeared to be somewhat hit or miss (particularly the service). We were more than presently surprised by the excellent service, ambiance of the room, and quality of the food served. We’ll definitely be back! Our server (Josh) was informative, friendly, and attentive to our service needs. We plan on returning for the weekend brunch sometime soon.

    Hamburger was over cooked on half the patty and undercooked on the other half. It was served lukewarm. The French Onion soup was served with a slab of pita bread (not crusty country bread) over the bowl that was soggy and doughy. The cheese was one big clump and the soup tasted like canned soup. Very disappointing.

    A very nice location off the beaten path. It offers a great daytime view and experience with its connection to the vineyard. The restaurant is not too small, but quaint. The service is not above and beyond, but not lacking either. The ambiance is casual and the vibe a bit trendy. The menu is small, but full of variety and the food is very, very good. The prices are a bit high in my opinion, but they are in line with what I've come to expect of the areas north of Austin.
