We had one of the greatest dinners here. Their new chef is not only amazing but an artist with the presentation of the food. We were two couples so tried three different dishes all of which we loved and enjoyed. The view from their patio is beautiful and relaxing. This is a non rushed place so sit back and enjoy the food, wine and the ambiance.

My wife and I decided to have lunch here prior to enjoying a wine tasting. Our server, while friendly enough, essentially “phoned in” our table service, average at best. Dirty appetizer plates not removed from table prior or even during the main course. We started by sharing an appetizer, the International Dip Quartet with ‘fresh baked pita’ which was essentially four cold pieces of pita. Heated or grilled would be nice... My main was the Garlic Paprika Chicken which can only be described as dismal. A single chicken leg with tired vegetables and a product that was described as spätzle. Charging $24 for such an entree is certainly ambitious. The surroundings themselves a are quite nice with views to the north towards the river and Lillooet. Given current Covid-related restrictions, a reservation in advance may be advisable. I phoned ahead and spoke with Rolf who kindly arranged a table for us. There is definitely potential here that remains unfulfilled. Hopefully they combine the service and food to achieve that.

Phoned ahead to check on the need for reservations for 2 on a Thursday afternoon. Half hour notice was sufficient. Quick taxi ride from The Reynolds hotel $10 approx. Outdoor seating at the winery gave a nice view of the mountain across the river. Food was good, chicken portion small & cheap (drumstick), bread for international dip platter could’ve been heated/grilled & server was just indifferent. Although purporting to be a server in the Grand Cayman, her customer service skills were definitely lacking considering the high end clientele she is used to. Maybe they just tip high end because they can & not because she earned it. Next server who settled our bill, Brook, was so personable that we moved into the winery & did a tasting & even bought a bottle! & we only bought one as we’re riding motorcycles & there’s not a lot of room on sport bikes lol. Great wine tasting experience. It’s a must while in the area. And not just because there isn’t much to do in Lillooet.

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Whistler. I was apprehensive at first after reading some of the earlier reviews- but was pleasantly surprised. I can see why there’s difficulty with the servers- with COVID protocols it’s hard to find out where to sit and get some basic information. But if you do the effort to enquire it really works. We got great service- the food was delicious. Had the kebabs and charcuterie board. Picked up some wine aswell- you get a free tasting if you eat there. Stop, enjoy the lunch, and take in the gorgeous view!

Had visited two years ago, and decided to take a few Dutch friends. I had told them of the article about this place in the book about BC vineyards. How or why they are in the book I’ll never know. The quality was very disappointing, and frankly, embarrassing. My wife and her friend had the pesto pasta, instead of a pesto sauce it came with a cream sauce, gluing the warmed up overcooked pasta together. My friend and I had the chicken cacciatore. It was comparable to a very mediocre TV dinner, soggy rice, soggy veggies and one medium size chicken thigh. A $40 bottle of Pino Gris, two beers and four plates, including tip, makes for a overpriced lunch of just under $200. What the menu needs is sometimes fresh and modern. Salad, wraps? What’s with the beef liver on a 40C day?

Stopped here on out way to Whistler and was disappointed. Beautiful setting and it could have been amazing but sadly their service was horrible. Waited but we're ignored and was told the tables were all reserved. Ending up sitting in the parking lot basically and ate our lunch. All our lunches were overpriced ...and lacking flavour. Nobody came back to see how we were doing. Had to hunt fune server done for salt and pepper. For the price it was not worth stopping for lunch! Find somewhere else to eat!

Food was especially good, great service. Would go again this week if they were close by.
