Chimichurri steak, fries, and charcuterie with port and sage infused cheeses are a must!

Service is a little slow, but you’re in wine country, what’s the rush?

This was the very first wine tour I've ever been on and went in blind for a birthday experience for my girlfriend. James, our tour guide was awesome. Read the group very well and saw that we weren't the types of people that get uncomfortable easy and cracked a lot of jokes. it was a great time and we did learn a lot. For a first experience this set the bar high. Also unknowingly i planned this trip at a great time (a Wednesday afternoon) and the group was only a total of 6 people so we each were able to get an amount of wine that made us feel the need to stay and eat something after. Overall a great experience that only had a single down side which was the seating was almost too private to where it was hard to wave down a server to get our check when we got food but they were still rather attentive.

Very cool place, literally dine in the wine cave storage area and they have rows of barrels between tables, so a lot of privacy. Food is generic and just ok.

Absolutely love this place, why check out other wineries when you can have everything here. Ryan was awesome, quick, attentive and just a fun conversation. Wonderful staff, great food and great views. If wines not your thing then there Craft Cocktails will get you coming back. Personal favorites are the Sparkling Syrah, and Dry Brut. Almost tried the whole entire menu and haven’t ran into anything I haven’t liked so far. Will always come back to this spot. Thank you for an awesome time.

I didn’t get a chance to dine here. I waited about 15 mins to order and finally decided to go elsewhere. It was a hot day, and while they do have misters it wasn’t really do a good job of keeping the patio cool, and the only other option was indoors in the back of the tasting room, no windows and the AC was so cold, that you’d need a jacket to dine inside.

Was there twice last week. Both times was service above and beyond. The food was delightful to the palate. We dined outdoors.

The food and atmosphere were A++++ all the way. Service was a little slow, but the food made up for it.

We went here for lunch on a super hot day and I am so glad I thought to book it!

The Cave Restaurant is a really cool place. It's tucked away in a tunnel so it's nice and cool. All of the barrels make it feel unique, as though your party is the only one in the room. I liked that privacy! Care was taken in how things were presented (I loved the tasting trees) and the staff were really lovely. Our waiter was super friendly and made our experience special with his conversation and his recommendations.

The wines were great (obviously). I loved the sparkling pineapple. It was just a shame that they were out of several wines on the menu!

When it came to food, we only tried two dishes (the ahi salad and the club sandwich). The ahi salad was delicious, though quite small for the price. I like small so that didn't bother me. My husband's sandwich was also nice- not too toasted and fresh with a side salad. The desserts looked incredible but we didn't have space for one! I'd return for one...

Just one note: I'd have preferred not to see plastic carts being pushed around with all the plates on (esp dirty ones) because that wasn't as classy as everything else.

I took my mom here for an early Mother’s Day gift on 5/3 around noon. The outside of the property is extremely pleasant. They have heater lamps/fire pits to keep outside customers warm. The parking is somewhat limited, so get there early. When we got into the restaurant they have a sign that says something along the lines of, “please wait to be seated”. We waited a few minutes before a gentleman arrived & apologized for the wait. Please be aware it is very cold in the restaurant, so dress warm. We waited at least 15-20min before we were served water…ridiculous. It took that same time to be greeted by our waitress. I was pretty disappointed with the service considering the reputation of this establishment has. There was also trash on the floor. It is very low light, so I am guessing staff was unaware. We also had to ask 3x for a new table light because ours was so dark. The food really good aside from some order errors. My mom asked for a medium rare steak & it was tough. For $50 I expect the steak to be cooked somewhat close to what the customer requested if not exactly what they asked for. Also, I ordered a blonde ale and the beer was semi warm ?? I should have requested a new one, but I didn’t speak up. Overall I was disappointed with my experience & won’t be returning. Please work on customer service.

The views and everything were really pretty however the service was subpar. When our dinner came out the table runner accidentally dropped my husband's Seabass on the floor and partially on him. We get it mistakes happen, he apologized and said he'd get another one out right away. After 15 minutes go by, a new plate finally arrives. Never once saw our server in that time. My food got cold waiting because I was raised to wait until everyone has their food to eat. Didn't particularly plan on going out on a date night just to watch the other eat alone. Order a flight of mixed wine and the sparkling flight. After looking at our check later at home our server rang the sparkling up as the mimosa flight ($13 more). She never once apologized for the wait on the food or offer any sort of compensation. Barely saw her the whole time and was just left waiting. The food was decent and the wine was tasty but I doubt we'll be back after that experience.

We had such a lovely experience at The Cave yesterday. Everything from the ambience to the food was amazing! I would have to say that the customer service was beyond stellar! Shout out to Kevin for making the best drinks ever!! Matt and Mike thank you for such incredible customer service (we are coming back on Sunday). Star you definitely added a great touch to the end of our night, by educating us on the best sweet wine! We had such a beautiful experience. Thank you all!!!!👏👏👏💗
