   Wine flights were wonderful, service was just as we needed, and despite the rain, the porch was well covered.

   There were two of us, and we both got the hamburger. We didn’t really care for it. It was dry with a little flavor. When we ordered dessert, they told us they didn’t have any dessert. It was my friends birthday and I would’ve liked to have gotten her something. We just don’t think a restaurant shouldn’t offer dessert. They were very apologetic about it and offered us a free dessert. The next time we come. But it was disappointing. I hope they make you feel a little better because we really did enjoy our time there.

   Everything was delightful. Service was excellent and friendly. John was our wait person. A bit noisy when several large groups arrived. All in all, a super experience.

   What a gorgeous venue. The view is absolutely stunning, and the outdoor dining space provides plenty of seating for all. Wine and food, absolutely amazing. Worth the trip to spend a relaxing afternoon, getting away from Adam.

   Such a disappointing visit. We went for a Mother’s Day lunch because I have work Mother’s Day. My mom is immuno compromised so we had to sit outside - which should have been great given the weather/setting. Instead the band was SO LOUD we literally couldn’t talk to each other. I couldn’t hear anyone unless we yelled, including those next to me. I got a headache from having to talk so loud and the noise from the music. We asked our waiter twice to help, he said everyone had been complaining all day, they had to move a bunch of people inside because of it. We asked the manager twice to ask them to turn down and every single request was ignored. The food was mediocre and expensive. What should have been a fun lunch turned into a stressful in enjoyable time due to something that should have been handled by management. There are a lot better restaurants in terms of food, I would avoid going if they have music. We will just go to the boathouse next time- lesson learned!

   Dominique is a fantastic waitress. Friendly, made great recommendations, recommended the best food and wine. She also went above and beyond setting us up with our bottle on the porch after lunch.

    This little gem was worth the drive from RVA, I packed up 5 friends for a road trip and some much needed girl time. We as mothers and holding full-time careers enjoyed the ambience, scenery, and most definitely the food and wine selection. Highly recommend Strawberry Fields (drink), Crab Cakes and an assorted bread basket. I WILL be returning often.

    Stopped by the vineyard after a wonderful lunch in Hopewell to enjoy some wine and a desert. Our Open Table reservations saved the day as it was a busy one at the vineyard! We received a table on the back porch and had a wonderful hour or so of wine, conversation and dark chocolate! Beautiful place! I had the Petit Verdot from 2018 that was black as ink, freshly oaked, and had good fruit. My semi-dry friends found the Red Sangria and #2 White perfect choices. Great end to the day.

    Lovely afternoon out on the porch. Madelyn was attentive but not too so, and she’s so pleasant! We had the sampler boards and a basket of bread, plenty for three. Three tasting flights that were quite generous. A fun day, we’ll be back!!

    It was an absolutely point on dining choice! The food was wonderful, as was the wine! It was a Book Club outing and we were able to talk without disturbing other diners or being disturbed by them! The grounds are beautiful! We will definitely be back!👍🏼 We also received outstanding service from our waitress Dominique 👏🏼

    The crab cakes were only so so. Not hot but warm! When were they made? And they were mushy. On the positive side the location was beautiful.

    What a wonderful experience! Loved the charcuterie board options. The pickled French style green beans where very good! I liked that the charcuterie was different.

    We had a delightful afternoon at upper Shirley. Food was delicious, service was great, the wines were tasty, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The only reason I rated the noise level high was because they had a band playing, which made conversation difficult. When they were on break, noise level was low. The outside area was awesome with a porch for eating, and a patio with lots of seating and a fire pit. Overall, a great place to spend an afternoon.

    Food, service, wine and the facility was very good. It was 35 degrees outside so a fire in the inside fireplace and fire bowls outside would be a nice touch. If they allowed dogs on the grounds it would score five stars across all categories.
