Great place to stop for lunch while out and about wine tasting. Food and service are consistently great. You can also be in and out in about and hour which makes it a reliable stop to ensure you stay on time if you have a tasting booked after lunch. On our most recent trip we tried the Ruben and the chicken sandwich with garlic fries. The portions were very generous. Can’t wait to visit again next time we are up for a visit.
