I come here often and it really feels like each time it gets worse. This time you were out of cornbread and iced tea. The waiter never refills the water only when I ask. Which would be no big deal if you left a pitcher on the table or had larger glasses. It also felt like the waiter was rushing us to finish and leave.

Hidden gem! The food was delicious. We enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, a charcuterie board and honey whipped ricotta. I normally don’t eat ricotta but the honey, seasoning and texture was a perfect blend. We went during Sunday brunch and were surprised with a live jazz saxophonist. The restaurant had great ambiance with ann upscale, yet still relaxed vibe. The property beautiful.

The service was very good! She was knowledgeable about wine selections. The grounds are pretty and inside the restaurant was nice. I was so surprised that the food was so mediocre. I recommend getting a charcuterie tray because it’s a nice place to have a glass of wine but don’t waste your money on the entrees. I made reservations too but we were seated in this excluded section, away from the music, which felt like the commoner’s section! 😁 It was very odd!

Food and service were mediocre. Individual meals were served to us 15 minutes before the others in our party.

Drinks were great. the food was mediocre and over priced. Nothing was seasoned. we had the cornbread. spinach dip, omelet, pizza, chicken tender and fries, fried green tomatoes and apple pie that tasted like it came out the freezer section. They had one waitress to cover all the outside patio tables so service time was horrible. definitely not worth the drive, reservation or the money spent

Price for food was not worth it this time around. My husband enjoyed the Steak first time, so, he ordered a Steak plate again, and it only had 2 small tomatoes, 2 tiny lettuce and garlic. No sides at all, and the steak was very thin. For the money we paid, you would think the restaurant would serve a real steak. My step daughter and I ordered the Salmon, flavor was good but we were not sure if it was worth it. The waitress took our breads off the table without asking us, which I found to be shocking because we still had our appetizers. It is different from when we first came. The service for our wine tasting was excellent, Michael was our server. He had great customer service. But the restaurant was great on our first visit, we told all of our friends about. We also invited some of our friends, because we're looking to host our gatherings there. But after this last visit, I will be looking for another place to host. Overall, its a beautiful vinyard, great wine tasting area, but disappointed in what we served at the restaurant for the amount of money we paid, and service was ok.
