Did the fixed price menu. Food was amazing, service could not have been more attentive. Would have liked a few more appetizer and dinner options but would highly recommend Winvian for a special evening.

It was our first time visiting. Excellent service, ambience, delicious food. Caesar salad was large enough for 2 of us to share. It was filled with fresh herbs, crisp,lettuce and tasty dressing. Burger was huge, cooked exactly as requested. Ricotta ravioli were light, refreshing in sage brown butter sauce. We’re still thinking about the mousse with poached pineapple dessert. Can’t wait to return,

... I am a chef...proud, dedicated 40yrs.
Hospitality is and was the mission.
A+ambiance, staff, OUTSTANDING
Ok...for me this is very hard ...but truth be told..if truly the recognized Hospitality venue that you truly are. NO question, your premises ...beautiful, just beautiful.
Now let's talk Ceasars Salad...few visible garnishes buried under Frisbee and romaine, half Hazard display...DISAPPOINTING...uou are talented enough...do better
Cheese course display not representing your delicious cuisine.
A...SLATE DRIES OUT CHEESE.
B.THE CHEESE SUCKED...cheddar was dry, hard..check it out ..the olives had pits, think about the guests experience with said olives...flavorell and boring.
Honey.wax combo SUCKED, lol..chewing a way laced everything bites...bad idea...get back to basics..focus on the cheese .. not the foofoo jellies, the cheese is the star if the show...
I know, I'm sorry..lastly...feeding people is an honor...whether a tavern, bar,cafe, or 5 star resort...cook with you soul, your guts,,,your heart will follow.
God bless, God speed
