    It took 23 minutes to be given a menu or even water. I realize that there were many people there but not more than usual. We also look forward to “pull bread” but were told it is now seasonal . A real disappointment since we have ordered it every time we come.

    What a beautiful venue for brunch! The variety of food was terrific and well prepared. It wasn’t too crowded and there was indoor and outdoor seating. A strolling mariachi band made it the best experience. There was even an area set up for pictures. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

    We’ve been here a couple of times and really enjoy the intimate setting in the wine barrel cave. It’s cold! Bring a sweater or scarf but as you drink you will warm up. The mimosa flight is really tasty. The wine is ok, nothing to brag about. The burger and turkey club are delicious! But the tri tip fries stole the show! Highly recommend going to the distillery after for a nice craft cocktail.

    It's an absolute must that you eat in the Cave room between the barrels. Definitely a unique experience.

    It was soo beautiful and a wonderful experience. The food was okay. I got the cave club and when I removed the onions and tomato it was just bread meat and lettuce. It was still good but basic for $20 and my aunt got the crispy chicken sandwich was over fried and a puck but we loved the restaurant ambience and the server was good
