    We did the Cave tour with James. He was informative and accommodating. The charcuterie board had some interesting, tasty components.

    This was for our 33rd Anniversary. It was lovely. A bit cold inside the cave. Recommend bringing a sweater or light jacket. The food was good and the ambience was perfect for a quiet but very special evening. We will take our kids here soon.

    We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday here with a party of 9 people. When we arrived I was a little worried bc there was a large party very close to us that was having a great time (so they were very loud), but they were finishing up as we were siting down, so the only noise going on was from our table, I didn’t see any other tables from where we were. We were in the cave which was so cool! The service was fabulous!! The food was very good, we started with the Chimichurri Fries and the Pulled Cheese Bread… both were INSANELY delicious!!! Four of us split the Short Rib which was also delish, 1 had the Butternut Squash Salad with salmon and she said the salmon was a little dry, but the salad was good, and 3 men split the Tomahawk Special, which they said the flavor was great, but the meat was a little tough. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and a really fun place to have a special event, it is chilly inside the cave, so come prepared!! I would definitely recommend!

    Highly recommend this experience. James, our guide poured great wines, entertained with his stories and history of the area. Oak Mountain Winery has amazing views, live music and the perfect atmosphere.

    This review is based on my personal opinion. Really a terrible experience. The waitress never came to the table until he sought her out. We had to leave the table to ask for a waitress. She eventually showed up. We ordered a bottle of wine. It arrived and she told us that the winery did not have time to label the opened bottle of wine. We enjoyed the hummus. We finished the bottle of wine. The Cuban sandwich never arrived. We went to look for the waitress again and she said the place was busy. We paid for the hummus and wine and left. This place is about hype as the restaurant is in the wine cave. It is cold and if you choose to visit it, dress appropriately. The place is very busy and appears under staffed by the number of dirty tables and lack of wait staff walking by.

    Our family went to the Cave Cafe based on Yelp reviews and were so disappointed. The cave is kept cold for the wine, which was pretty uncomfortable. There was a little dog at one of the other tables that yipped continuously. Waiter was slow to bring our coffees which we ordered to warm us up. When I did get my coffee, I added the little creamer to my coffee and it curdled. Waiter said “Oh yea, that happened yesterday.” My daughter’s pepperoni flat bread was drenched in honey and was inedible. Just altogether a horrible experience.

    The cave is super cool to be in but the noise level was incredibly high. The ambience of private tables makes for a desire of a quiet romantic dinner but the noise was like a high energy club. My server didn't know how to answer my simple wine by the glass question and the food came cold without any follow up from server, our water glasses ran dry as well. I had also mentioned on my reservation that it was my birthday and there was no acknowledgment. I had high hopes for this cool venue but we won't be back unfortunately.
