We came here to celebrate with a larger party and had a very difficult time. We all ordered our food at the bar (every transaction is a closed tab). After ordering, the server came out and told us that one dish wasn’t available and swapped out orders. Our dishes came out and took 15 minutes from the first dish to the last. The swapped dish (shrimp pasta) was not as described with minimal sauce, no Parmesan, and the shrimp still shelled and not devained. When we told the staff, they said they would comp the pastas but only comped half of them because others were somewhat eaten and it’s against their policy. They did not provide suggestions for other orders. Whenever we were talking with the staff they would just start walking away from us and were very vague and distant. One person in our party never received their dish, and let multiple staff know when they came out, and later they went to ask about it and the staff claimed that she never ordered it. She showed them her credit card statement that she did, and then they said they’d start working on it (this was at least 15 minutes past when everyone else got their food). They never apologized, tried to accommodate the issues, and avoided us the rest of the night.

Great place for meeting up with friends and enjoying wine time. The food is good… we ordered two flatbreads and both were good (Thai chili & jerk chicken). The burger was cool. However. We didn’t really care for the short rib sandwich.
The menu is small but I love that they use all types of flavors. The atmosphere is beautiful with nice views and they have outdoor pods you can rent for your group. Check it out! Nice spot :)

From the exterior, this place seemed like a good choice. To no surprise, it ended up being a good choice.

My significant other and I stepped inside hoping for the best. We went to the sign where it said Host. We were quickly helped and led into the Tasting Room. We were seated at table 9 and told to go to the bar when we were ready to order.

We walked up to the bar and were helped immediately, so that was great. From the Red Wine section, I ordered a glass of Shady Creek Nouveau - MI for 7.50. It stated that it was Served chilled, this Nouveau style wine produced from Maréchal Foch is light, refreshing, and expressive of dark red fruits. From the same section, I ordered a glass of Cabernet Franc - CA for 10.50. It stated that it was Aromas of smoky leather and tobacco, flavors of strawberry and raspberry. From the Soups & Salads section, I ordered a French Onion. It had Onions, Cheese, Crostini for 7. The Handhelds section had Choice of chips or fruit. From there, I got the Smash Burger. It was Two 4oz Patties, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Brioche for 15. For Choice of:, I went with Cheddar. I chose fruit with mine. From the Pizzas section, we got the BBQ Jerk. It was BBQ, Chicken, Onion, Banana Pepper, Jerk Sauce, Pineapple for 15.

There was self-serve water conveniently located at the bar. It was refreshing. Each Wine I ordered was poured before I left the bar, so I took them back to the table. The Shady Creek Nouveau was interesting from the first taste until the last. The temperature was nice and I liked it. The Cabernet Franc was better. The food came out fast. The French Onion was pretty good, but it didn’t blow my mind. The Smash Burger was decent, but there wasn’t a lot of flavor in each bite, which led to it becoming dull quicker than I would have liked. The fruit was fantastic. All of it was vibrant and fresh. The BBQ Jerk was also fantastic. The flavors were all over the place, yet made a genius combination.

The service was good. I didn’t have any issues.

Overall, I had a pleasant experience. I would go again to explore the menu a bit more.

I’m going to begin with the fact that we are wine club members and love this place. We visit monthly and love our apps and salads from the lunch menu. But we came for a date night and it was terrible.

We ordered the short ribs. They looked amazing in the pictures on the website. What we received was thick cut beef roast (no bones) barely defrosted in a microwave. It was cold. The cauliflower mash was literally still frozen. They gave us our money back but still. This is false advertisement. We love your wine, but we’re highly disappointed with the dinner.

Left after the Ore-Ida style onion rings. 12$, knowing my air fryer would’ve done a better job.
Was sad, had been looking forward to giving this place a try.
Bar service was fabulous.

This place has a good exterior look , but that's about it ....
Server's - is not knowledgeable enough as well as management. They don't know how to talk to clients at all . One star to food. Wine is ok .

I was so disappointed in the food. I had pizza. It was dry and tasteless. Staff offered dipping sauce, but that didn’t help No one ever offered to replace the food or refund me. Staff was friendly overall. The atmosphere was beautiful and the wine selection was excellent. I had a great time.

This place was beautiful. We did the sip and stay experience and it was worth every penny. They were also very accommodating to our vegetarian in the group.
