   The wine was great, the server did well, but the food was a disappointment. Two of us ordered the brisket sandwich. It was so tough that we couldn't bite through it. The other guest ordered Matt's salad. She misread the menu and asked for shrimp on it. The server said nothing and left the table to put in the order. She received her salad with no shrimp and when we questioned the sever she said that they didn't have shrimp at this time. That would have been good to know at the time of ordering. I am not certain how she put the order in if that was not an option on the menu. My friend said she would continue to eat it without any meat. She took a few bites and then asked me to try it. The vinaigrette was so bitter it was inedible. I grabbed the menu to look at the description of the salad. I noticed that it was also supposed to have quinoa and candied pine nuts. These were missing from the salad. We then tried the pickled beets thinking that maybe she could just eat those, and they were the most terrible tasting beets I have ever had. Needless to say we will not be back for food. I definitely will go for the Brussel sprouts and the wine but not a meal.

   Excellent restaurant. Me and my girlfriend have been here twice now and both times we were surprised at the quality of the food, the perfect atmosphere, and the reasonable prices. Our server was very kind and gracious even letting us try samples of things we weren't sure about. My only complaint is our water glasses had some smudges in them. This restaurant overall is the reason I now like wineries.

   The service was excellent and the ambience pretty decent. All downhill from there.. The food was mediocre for the price. The wine is terrible!! My Cabernet tasted stale and reminded me of a very low quality wine, like barefoot. Very low quality wine for the price. I really wanted to like this place too!

   Hi Melissa. Thank you for dining with us on Valentine's Day. We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your food or wine. We offer five different Cabernet Sauvignons, all with different qualities and tasting notes, appealing to different palates. We gladly would have swapped out your glass of wine for a different option, should you have told your server. We encourage you to come back and try one of our other 37 wines currently on our menu. Cheers!

   The common theme here seems to be slow service. I can confirm that is exactly what we experienced. Overall, it took us 2 hours to get our food. Our waitress was kind, communicative, appreciative of our patience. However, the food when it eventually did come out was cold and bland. Dishes came out separately and served in different dishes with different presentation, despite two people ordering the same thing. Vegetables in dish were basically raw. Pasta dishes were lukewarm and the vegetables were barely impenetrable by forks. The manager was appreciative, explained that staff were trainings. She comped all of our food due to the delay and quality that we received. We greatly appreciated that, but we had every intention of paying for our food. I don’t know how a place like the is stays open if they have to comp everyone’s food. Sigh. Sadly I don’t think we will be back any time soon.

   The service was terrible and the food took an hour to come out! Never an apology from a manager. The server barely checked on us. Very disappointing.

   We waited almost an hour for our meal which was lukewarm and very overcooked. My husband's "rare" steak was medium at best and very tough. My pork chop was cooked to hockey puck consistency. The Brussel app was served cool and not the greatest. Our server was good and was able to deduct the cost of our inedible meal. The wine was very good.

   We made ar eservation for 6:30, when we arrived, we were told they had extremely overbooked and we'd need to wait. We waited and were sat about 15-20 minutes later. Since we knew they were busy, and to try to make it easier for everyone, we placed our order all at once. Our server who took our order stopped by our table approximately 3 times. She did not bring any of our food, or drink orders. If one of the members of our table had not previously worked at the restuarant and knew other employees, I doubt we would have ever received anything. Bartender brought our drinks, and after waiting for nearly an hour and half, she went back to the kitchen to track down our food. She was also the one to bring our food and check on us, as our server did not. Overall the food was fine, and I understand that it was a busy night, but we were overall ignored. Luckily the bartender, Abbie, was able to save our night, bringing us our food and drinks we ordered. My advice would be to NOT go here on a busy night. We will not be returning.

    Our waitress once we finally had someone show up was fantastic. But we didn’t get seated until 20+ minutes after our reservation, then didn’t get a server and drinks for another 20 minutes. Waitress was great but we sat around for what felt like an eternity without any staff even coming near our table.
