    Came here for my husband bday dinner. The food was cold, and the plate of a calamari had more breadcrumbs than the actual dish. There was an annoying fan that was shaky, it sounded like we were in a cafeteria. Everyone was kind and tried to service us well but rushed us. They close at 9 and we had an 8pm reservation. I would rather them have not taken my reservation if they were going to rush us. I wouldn’t recommend this place but it was over all fine.

    Three of the 4 meals were luke warm to cold. The 4th meal came out late was hot but we had almost finished our meals when she got hers. I was disappointed in the meals but not the service or ambiance. I recommeded this place to my niece who wanted to buy us a nice meal so we did not say anything about the less than warm meals we received.

    Food was okay. A very quiet dining room. Maybe too quiet for a Friday night. Service was attentive. Hostess was in a tshirt which seems waaay too casual for the venue. View of the vineyard was nice. maybe good for large groups.

    Our group had a fabulous evening of wine tasting. We sampled several small bites and loved them all—a nice charcuterie board, a couple of flatbreads, spinach artichoke dip, and a delicious Gouda cheese dip. Our server Kate was appropriately attentive and did a great job of sharing information regarding our wine selections. We will definitely be back!

    We signed up for that 5pm cellar tour. Found out it wasn’t happening for the month of August when we arrived. They were very apologetic and gracefully accepted us to join in the wine tasting. We enjoyed that very much. I really missed doing the cellar tour. Do plan to come back. The dinner at 6:30 at the restaurant was absolutely amazing! Thank you for the wonderful staff and beautiful place for us to come and enjoy!

    We were greeted by the manager and took us directly to our table. Our waitress Julia told us all about the featured appetizer and entrees. The feature was a medley of Lamb, Duck and Pork. It was fantastic. The wines by the glass were very diverse and exceptional. The food came out of the kitchen promptly and the service was fantastic. The Vintage House overlooks the vineyard. We ate in a working barrel room. The experience exceeded my expectations.

    It was hot, possibly the A/C was not working? Our waitress was not in the ball at all. We only knew about specials and wines from eavesdropping on the next table being waited on by the manager. We had to remind her at least 2-5 times to fill our water and bring our food. We tried the estate room because we had had such a great experience in the tasting room in the next building.... we'll go back to the tasting room, but the Vintage House Restaurant will be a pass

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We greatly appreciate your feedback. We did investigate the AC issue that you mentioned. We didn’t discover anything that would have caused the room to be warm but will be monitoring it regularly. Additionally, we have followed up with your server to coach her on how to better attend to our guests moving forward. We thoroughly appreciate you reaching out and hope to see you soon in our Tasting Room!

    Our server failed to complete our order. We had ordered a LEGEND TABLE-SIDE CAESAR SALAD. I wanted to have the fresh, made at your table experience for my wife on our 44th wedding anniversary. It did not come and half way through the meal the waiter brought us a basic house Caesar on two small plates. It was not very good. We were not charged for the salad but that wasn't the point. We missed a major part of our evenings unique experience. We came to Messina Hof looking for a unique and pleasant evening. Try again Paul. Have your wait-staff write down the order if they can't remember it.

    Saturday evening dinner for 3 people. We were met with a very friendly greeting from Jordan and seated promptly. She immediately took care of water and bread for the table. Our server, Dylan, did a superb job of taking special care of us (with help from Jordan and Ethan). We had the Chateaubriand and it was prepared perfectly to temperature. My wife had the Veal dish and the veggies of the day and mushroom truffle risotto were superb complements to the the veal. We had 3 different salads --- house, Caesar and a Fennel Citrus salad. All were served with very fresh ingredients and just the right amount of dressing. The Cherries Jubilee Flambe table side dessert was the perfect ending of a very enjoyable family dinner.

    As usual we had a great time and great food. Levi took care of us and we had a phenomenal experience and he gave us tons of wine pairings to make sure we had a great experience. The filet and gorgonzola chicken were excellent and we both loved our wine pairings of Grenache rose and primitivo. One of the best and consistent places in town for date night
