The chef intelligently brings the warmth and joys of his family's food traditions to share with his community, which makes us all feel like family. This is the type of restaurant every community (and every patron) should have. I hope to make this a regular visit as it was the best dining experience that I've had in a long time.

Love this place. Went with a party of four and everyone got a different meal. Food was outstanding - short rib was to die for and sweet potato risotto was also extra special. Loved our waitress and the chef stopping by the table was a nice touch We will be back often.

Beautiful outside patio with fountain and lovely landscaping. Creative offerings at a value price! Chef came out to greet us and check in on our experience.

We were visiting and our waitress was wonderful. The place was beautiful and it was busy but we were able to be seated right away. The food was amazing. We had The Riposo salad, filet mignon, and seared sea scallops. We loved the butter and honey with the bread. Thank you for making our visit so special!

Excellent food, along with service by Arizona. Parking was a little difficult since it was dinner hour, but there is a parking garage around the corner.

Second time in restaurant. Food was good but thick asparagus was not peeled & it was tough, not edible. The main dining room to the right is very loud & it was difficult to talk to our friends. Will not sit there again. The best thing was the "blood orange" cosmopolitan.
Adrienne B.
Delicious, delightful, beautiful presentation and an amazingly welcoming staff. I couldn't recommend it more. Great for older or younger couples.

Excellent food. The atmosphere is very comfortable. The service was impeccable! I had the scallops which were so tasty with sweet potato grits and spinach. Also the Caesar salad was different but excellent!The chef came by and checked on us. I can't wait to go back!Parking: A free parking garage was behind the restaurant. Very convenient!

I'm disappointed in MYSELF for not taking pictures of our entrees. We ate at Winesett House on Easter. With what could have been a crazy busy holiday with poor service & food preparation or a changed menu of easier to prepare dishes, Winesett House was just the opposite.Our reserved table of six was ready upon our arrival. Our server brought us water & took our drink orders. My husband & I ordered the 8oz. Filet Migon medium well. The steaks were done to perfection & very tender. They were elegantly accompanied by mashed potatoes & asparagus. Our other guests had meatloaf & seafood platters, which were also very tasty with sides of mashed potatoes & green beans. We topped the meal off with an orange cheese cake, which tasted like a creamsicle...YUM!!Service thruout our meal was impeccable & the Manager approached us at the end of our meal to inquire about our dining experience.All in all, it was a deliciously delightful experience.
Second time visiting this wonderful bistro.Travis, I can't speak highly enough about your vision as a restaurateur, the creativity of your junior "chefs" or how well your wait staff treats your patrons!We certainly will return next time we are in Punta Gorda!

My husband and I made reservations for Easter dinner at Winesett House. We enjoyed cocktails at the bar first (I highly recommend the Blood Orange Cosmo), then proceeded to our table. The service was excellent, which began by being greeted at the main entrance, then being immediately acknowledged and served at the bar, and finally catered to at our table. Our two main entrees included salmon and shrimp and rigatoni and sausage, both were cooked and seasoned perfectly and, needless to say, delicious. The atmosphere was comfortable and conversations were easy. It was a very enjoyable time and we will certainly dine there again!

Food was delicious, service was above and beyond and the place is beautiful! Highly recommend if you have out of town family and you want to show them a hidden gem.

Impossible to enjoy the good food and service because it was just too noisy. We needed to shout at each other across the table and couldn’t hear what the server was saying about the specials. There really is no need to have music playing so loud. We won’t go back.

Just finished dinner. Nashville chicken entree sounded healthy but awful. Breaded but not listed on the menu, burned to black cinders, waitress said fine. InedibleOutside needs umbrellas for shade. We won’t be back.
