Restaurants near Windy Oaks Estate

Dinner experience was excellent, I was at La Foret with my wife celebrating our anniversary, and we tried the tasting menu experience. Everything was beyond delicious, a true parade of flavors: prawns, scallops, elk, lamb, quail, tortellini, paired with excellent wines, we tried Roederer Estate, Brut, Anderson, as well as the Domaine Comte De Lauze, Chateauneuf-Du-Pape 2018. The place is beautiful, with an elegant warming atmosphere. lastly, he service was excellent, our waiter Shawn had a deep knowledge on every menu item, very polite, with a charming attitude, he made the experience even better.

We love this place . Food is always delicious and cooked perfectly . We over order every time because we want to taste everything. Last night we got the bone marrow special and it was special ! The sea bass was cooked to buttery perfection and the crust on the lamb made it texturally spectacular. And to finish even though too full for dessert we got the butter cake and it disappeared.

This is a Thanksgiving dining review. Our server Alba was wonderful, attentive and just had the best demeanor. We started off with hot rolls & butter and than fried calamari. Absolutely perfect. I had the grilled lamb chop dinner which was perfect. The 3 chops had a nice char and were well seasoned. My husband had the prix fixe Thanksgiving ham dinner which he said was okay. The ham was not a well seasoned ham nor honey baked. The ham was not bone in, but just a few slices of thin pieces with brown gravy. However, the vegetable side and garlic mashed potatoes were great. I had the pumpkin pie which was very good. The custard had a great spiced flavor and smooth texture. The crust was very thin which I did not mind because the custard is what I like. My husband did not have dessert. I also had a Peach Bellini which was perfect for an 11am meal. Lastly, the other staff and patrons were so pleasant and engaging.

Our party of 4 came to Venus right when they opened at 5:00 pm. Although the receptionist did not greet any of the waiting customers, the remainder of our experience was excellent. The food and service were both wonderful. We tried two different gin and tonics. Great botanicals! This is a little gem.

Return of head chef Ben Hillan has brought a refreshed menu of locally sourced fish, meat and produce. Highly recommend the Black Cod, Dungeness Crab Salad, Prosciutto wrapped Halibut and Steak Bavette.
