    Excellent food and gracious service; however, they only serve one size of wine glass, which I consider large. I’d appreciate them offering a 4-oz glass of wine.

    We had brunch at the Wine House and loved it. We had an omelette and crab Benedict. Both dishes were excellent as was the service. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Food and service were both good, but food came out so fast it felt rushed. Also, I detest when servers use the hand held credit card machines—it’s so uncomfortable when they’re hovering over you watching you and, again, makes the experience feel rushed.

    We had a great time. Food was delicious, service was fine. Small enough to feel cozy but not overcrowded. Its like a not so hidden, hidden place.
