This winery was last minute. We came here on a Wednesday afternoon. It was open and the staff was very friendly. The woman at the front was very nice. We got two flights that were $15 each, which was a great price. There was no outdoors with vineyards, but it was outdoors in closed a bit in the back that was nice so we sat outside. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. It was great, the hummus was not too good, but we definitely would come back.

Loved this spot. The muscles were so good! I also really liked the setup for the wine tastings. Definitely pricy, but so worth it!

They don't really have a "wine tasting". They do "wine flights". You pay $15 for 5, 1 ounce pours. This is comparable to other wineries; however, you don't get to choose your wines. I would have liked to be able to choose the 5 individual wines to try instead of having to choose a flight type and get whatever they bring you. I can't speak to the food because we didn't have any. The hostess and waiter we had were super friendly.

Disappointed in poor management as I had my wedding rehearsal lunch planned RSVP here (far in advance) only to made aware the day of (literally as I walked in the door) our lunch could only last for 1 hr MAX. Management was holding us to a time limit due to the military booking the entire restaurant for a special occasion regarding chiefs in the Navy in October. There was no mention of a special discount & 8 guests at our table. Very expensive lunch to be rushed out. Very unprofessional. There could’ve been a warning or some phone call letting us know in advance so we could enjoy our lunch & special time w family & close friends (once in a lifetime event together) somewhere else without any time constraints on us.

Once a month, being wine club members, we always grab some dinner before picking up our bottles. I had the bison burger and side salad. The burger was juicy and delicious with generous toppings. My partner had their grilled cheese sandwich. I can't imagine find a better one in the 757. The above was accompanied by a fine bottle of nebiolo. As always, a great experience!

The beet salad is perfect. Steve's sweet, crunchy, candied nuts always just feel so right in my mouth, paired with the most delectable house made dressing. If you're out and about on shore drive, ask to try Steve's nuts! Your mouth will thank you.

Good food, drinks and service. I dined with my mother and sister. My mother ordered the salmon stack, my sister ordered the lamb shank. Both enjoyed their meal I ordered the shrimp and grits to go. It was delicious and the only issue I had with it is that it was very oily.Will definitely be returning

We had amazing dinner for my mom's birthday! The chef's menu provided us with a delicious experience. The servers were so nice—they even brought my mom a glass of rosé with a birthday candle!

Nice atmosphere but more restaurant than winery and staff are more bartenders/servers than wine-experienced. Preselected flights filled with wine from around the world is an interesting concept for a wine bar, but a draw back when I’m checking at a winery to experience THEIR offerings. No description of the wines in the flight on the menu or by the server, other than a pre-printed list (and even the list didn’t provide a good description.) The pre-printed flight list that came with the wine tower didn’t match the menu for their available local wines. Because the menu of their wine selections hadn’t been updated, I finally got a glass of wine I was interested in enjoying on the third try (the first two were ‘out’.) The atmosphere is cool and trendy as an urban winery but not the wine-tasting experience I was hoping for as a traveler.

Food is very good and the flight of wines is an excellent way to taste different wines. Excellent service.

Just a wonderful experience for the perfect date night with my husband. Loved the wine flight and the food was great. I wish they sold the jelly that came on the salmon. Don’t leave without trying the Hangover Chicken!!!!

I attended the New Years Eve dinner. It was a $50 wine pairing dinner (extra $50 for the wine). The portions were shockingly small. I got the scallop appetizer and there were 2 tiny scallops on my plate along with a small portion frisée salad. My daughter got the pork belly. I would say it was an appropriate portion for an appetizer. The main course for me was lobster with cornbread stuffing. It was a tiny lobster tail split in half with the stuffing in the middle. My daughter got tenderloin. It you make a circle with your thumb and forefinger, that is how small her steak was. There were supposed to be harissa mashed potatoes on the plate but it was only smeared in the plate with the tiny steak plopped on top. There was a dessert course that consisted of petit fours. Needless to say, we were disappointed in the dinner. I won't even review the cafeteria-like ambience. The servers were charming and helpful. Perhaps if there was some bread served? Overall, super disappointing!

2 miniature scallops bite sized lobster meat one small container of “muse” popcorn to share for party of 4r, while a party of 3 were served 2 “muse” we requested to have an extra server said they don't have anymore Party type appetizer size meal was very disappointing Last year's New Year's Eve dinner was the best meal portion and price!

We went for our 25th Anniversary and it was a decent experience. The food was just ok. The scallops were cooked ok, but were very small. The best course was the entree. I had a cornbread and crabbed stuffed lobster. The flavor was amazing. The dessert items were decent as well. It was a a great price but I would have rather paid a higher fee with better food.

The taste of food was good not great. The portions were micro sized. I asked for decaf coffee and was given regular that kept me up til 300am. Good thing I don't have a heart condition. The wine selection was great. If you come for just wine you are set. Forget the food. Overpriced and undersized
