“Aztec truly feels like the heart of the community. Warm lighting, comfortable seating, friendly faces - everything about it feels inviting. The family-friendly menu is such a thoughtful touch, with options my kids love just as much as I do. Every visit feels unrushed and comforting. A cozy gathering place our town is lucky to have!”

“Recommend the food, staff at the bar and answering the phone can be unfriendly.”

“We recently hosted my mom’s celebration of life at Empty Nest Winery, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of heart—exactly the kind of space we wanted to surround our family and friends as we honored her.

The staff went above and beyond in every way. The bartenders were attentive and kind, ensuring glasses were always full and guests were comfortable. The service throughout the entire event was seamless, which allowed us to focus on what mattered most—sharing memories and being together.

The catered food was absolutely delicious, and paired perfectly with the beautiful wines. Everything flowed effortlessly, and it’s clear this venue takes great pride in both their work and in creating meaningful experiences for the people who gather there.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better setting to celebrate my mom’s life. Empty Nest Winery provided not just a venue, but a memory that will always hold a special place in our hearts. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a space filled with warmth, beauty, and genuine care.”

“Bought a couple of ribeyes today, when we had breakfast at the cafe. Grilled them tonight. They were the best ribeyes we've had in a very long time! Jet's has the best meat!”

“The service was outstanding, my party of three were there at noon, yet the super efficient server, Kim, was attentive and chatty! They have won awards for their tenderloin for good reason, I have had few better. All three of us, who are by nature chatty and convivial, fell silent as we devoured our delicious sandwiches. If you are in the are go. If you love the pork tenderloin go. If you aren't in the area take a road trip and go. You may have had a tenderloin in this class previously, but I guarantee this one will be right at the top of your list.”
