**NOT HANDICAP\ELDERLY FRIENDLY**
I have never been here before and decided to invite a disabled veteran, and a disabled widow out to eat since they never get to socialize or be in the community as this location was recommended.
The parking lot was confusing and dangerous with multiple obstacles and cars zipping around making their own rules. Possibly drunk as I witnessed intoxicated individuals enter drivers seats.
There is no handicap parking. So our disabled crew had to hike to the front and almost collapsed on the way to the door, there is no seating for the elderly. Not even a bench. We explained to the hostess they are about to fall and need seated immediately, somewhere close. The hostess decided to seat us at the clear end- the elderly gentleman flagging her down and pleading that it’s way too far! She ignored us. After arriving we were not all seated when the hostess zipped in-front of the barely mobile elderly gentleman with a cane cutting him off who then proceeded to almost collapse onto the table and floor. A few gasps from patrons, a scream- ignored by hostess. The widow sat and complained her spine is now in great pain from the hike. All confused why we were ignored when we stated we could not walk that far and are about to fall. And why we were seated at the clear end of the restaurant when there was seating near the front where others were sat. “Very rude” was used repeatedly. As for food, the disabled widow described her food, the Pesce Alla Grigio, as “gross”, her dogs did enjoy it later, though. I ordered the calamari which was melt in your mouth delicious! The best I ever had. We all agreed. Two of us ordered the the Gnocchi Brue. While I felt mine was good, both found the sodium was EXTREME. The elderly gentleman couldn’t finish his food for fear his legs were going to swell. I believe they used 2 whole onions in his dish as he had trouble eating it and separated it out to make a point. It was very excessive. I had to have multiple drinks to eat mine. I had to keep an eye on the elderly man as he complained his hips and knees were screaming from where we were placed, he was afraid he won’t make it out. I had to assist him into his home and into a chair to make sure he was safe. I downed 2 bottles of water after we arrived home I was so thirsty from the near inedible quantity of salt.
Young people seemed to enjoy it though and appeared to be having a better experience.

*I do not recommend this restaurant to the elderly or those with mobility issues.* I do have a personal attorney, if the old man fell because of your hostess I would have sued the heck out of you.

I was part of a group on a bus trip. As we entered the beautiful building, we were greeted warmly. The wine tasting came with a description of each wine and the flavor. Lunch service went quickly despite 32 of us sitting at a long table. Delicious food, great service, and very attentive staff. Many of us purchased wine before we left. I discovered that my car key remote had fallen out of my purse after I arrived at the bus drop off. Mary Jo Ferrante went out of her way to mail my car key remote to me. Not only was the food and atmosphere wonderful but the service was top notch. If I could, I would rate customer service a 10.

Go in the cold months!! Sure, summer is fun, but the cozy atmosphere in the winter is perfect! Isabelle, Ethan, Emily, Joe- just a few of the superstars of a wonderful serving staff! Food is delicious and affordable, wine is excellent, and the atmosphere is awesome in the summer- but don’t sleep on the winter! Nothing like cozying up by a fire and sipping wine while the snow falls outside! 10/10⭐️

If you want an intimate dinner this is Not the place! The restaurant was very loud. We waited for an hour for a table for 2. The pasta sauce was flavorless! The noodles and meat were okay. Their wine is good and so was the service. The prices are affordable.

The pecan crusted chicken salad was terrible the pecan coating was sweet and not crispy at all mushy and the juice from the mandarin oranges was on the bottom of the dish which made everything soggy and the chicken was cold the bread was delicious as was the wedding soup . Very disappointed ! Drive 1 1/2 hr to come up !

It was nice but very very over priced. Wine is much cheaper in stores.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming winery, and I must say, it was an incredibly relaxing experience! Nestled in a stunning location, the scenery alone is worth the trip. The simplicity of the setting really allows you to unwind and soak in the beauty around you.

The atmosphere is inviting and laid-back, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the breathtaking views. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a peaceful getaway, this winery has something for everyone. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share their passion for the wines they produce.

I highly recommend spending an afternoon here—grab a bottle, find a cozy spot, and let the tranquility wash over you. It’s a hidden gem that truly embodies the essence of relaxation! Cheers!
