    The Winery was quite nice for a late afternoon Thanksgiving meal. The food was delicious and the service pleasant. It made for an elegant and enjoyable holiday.

    Delicious food beautifully presented. I had the shrimp and scallops with risotto special. There were many specials so don’t judge by the regular menu. Service was a tad slow - kitchen issue I think - but it was worth the wait.

    Wine selection was not what you would think for a winery restaurant. The wine steward did not know what she was doing. So strange for a restaurant, literally, called The Winery Restaurant.

    Our experience wasn’t what I thought it would be. We were a fairly large group. To start, we had to grab our waiter every time we wanted a refill or to place an order. Once we got our food we never got checked on. We ordered the gnocchi - it was not good. The flavors were all over the place and would’ve sent back if we were checked on. I had higher expectations for the food due to the price. So many things were off, unfortunately we won’t be returning.
