We enjoyed every bite of our dinner. There was four of us and we all got something different for the starter, main, and dessert. Maria was our waitress and was very good! Nice place to go with friends or as a couples night out.

The Wandering Vine at the Castle is always the perfect place for great food, beautiful surroundings, gracious wait staff, and relaxing dining. We started our brunch meal with the Pastry Board -- all made in-house and all pastries were delicious. The kitchen accommodated one of our guests with her vegan requirements, while the rest of us chose different entrees from the menu. All of us were quite pleased with the quality and taste of our choices. We also ordered specialty drinks with our meal -- including a non-alcoholic Pomegranate Punch -- and they were all perfect.
