Three of us had lunch today. One the vegan burger, two the turkey sandwich, and three large chef salad. All were excellent. And the staff and Service there was off the charts excellent. So friendly so helpful. We had a wonderful afternoon.

Was expecting better quality in the food served for the price. Some items such as the seafood and prime rib were a good value. The rest of the food was just mediocre and I was really expecting more for $125 a person..

I was in for lunch yesterday with friends from out of town. We had an 1130 res arrived and all set up for your concert that night. We sat outside on the deck.
We ordered and our food took forever, then a man not out waitress brought the food out. It was so strange he brought one persons food out at a time and then would go back for the next persons food . My friend had to send hers back I ordered a hamburger medium and it came out rare but didnt send it back, i just didnt eat the meal middle that was really rare. Also, my friend ordered soup and an entree and they served the soup with the meal. Our waitress was very pleasant but the service lacked. Then we had to listen to the band practice and do sound checks. Not good. I suggest when you have a big event that evening you close to prepare for it, we were clearly in the way of you evening preparations. I was embarrassed i have dined with you in the past and thought it would be a good place that bring my guests.
I did send you a note with my experience in instagram, but never got a reply.

Easter brunch was fantastic! Really tasty, nice set up, great staff. We have tried different places each year and were never quite satisfied until this year. This is definitely our new annual Easter brunch place.

I'm a regular to the concerts they have during the summer and the ambience, decor and overall experience is always a nice experience. The Easter Brunch was $125 per person plus %20 tip plus tax. We bought a $32 bottle of wine which is fine but after all was said and done it was $363. Overall everything was fine, just don't feel it was worth $363 for 2 people. Maybe in my older age I should avoid pricey buffets.

Way too expensive for overall experience- now I understand why they offer this brunch two times per year!

My mother and I were very disappointed in our Easter Brunch experience. Two years ago, although expensive, we enjoyed our dining environment and food. This year, not so much. The food was good, but not worth the price and serverved very stingy - prime rib cut was about paper thin and small, very small, lamb chops were served as "do you want one or two?" We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine, which is listed on their regular menu as $26/bottle and we were billed $51.00! Outrageous!! Our total bill was $396.00. My mom is almost 96 yo and eats small portions, yet was denied a leftover box for a small piece of beef she did not finish. The staff could not have been more efficient and pleasant - I felt sorry for our waiter who had to deny a doggie bag. Overall, it was a total ripoff...what a shame.

I had an amazing time at Thornton Winery! The setting is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the vineyards that create an ideal backdrop for a relaxing day. The atmosphere is both inviting and upscale, making it perfect for a special occasion or just a casual outing.

The wine selection is impressive, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, helping us find the perfect pairings for our tastes. I particularly enjoyed their sparkling wines—they were refreshing and delightful!

We also indulged in a lovely meal at the restaurant, and the food was fantastic. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall wonderful experience.

If you're looking for a great place to enjoy quality wine and delicious food in a picturesque setting, I highly recommend Thornton Winery. I can't wait to return and explore more of what they have to offer!

We went to my father's birthday party and had a lot of fun. Our waiter was accommodating and friendly. They have a few fights that are original and fun. I had two lol, which was great because I ended up buying two bottles of champagne and a bottle of wine. We will definitely be back.

The food is fabulous and the wine delicious. Thank you Cafe Champagne we always enjoy our visit!

We started off strong. Place was fairly dead with just a handful of tables. The server was training so we technically had 2 servers. At first, they were attentive. Then, halfway thru dinner they disappeared. We wanted to order more food and drinks but had to flag them down. By this time, there was 2 tables left-us and someone else. No one was sitting inside. I have no idea what they were doing. Then all of a sudden, after waiting almost 30 mins, them come and tell us it's last call. Just odd.

First timers to the cafe. AMAZINGLY delicious food! My M-I-L's food was not prepared correctly, and they put in a new order, but we had to wait 20 minutes for it to come out because they were preparing other orders first. Hers should have gone in ahead since we ordered prior and they got it wrong. All in all a good experience. Waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating.
