    Hostess took initiative to give us option to eat inside due to chilly weather. Aaron, our server was attentive but not intrusive. Wine was very good and food was delicious and fairly priced. Beautiful venue.

    We are locals. This was our 1st time back since new owners. The service was great, our waiter was personable, his name was John. Ask for him. The menu offered us things we liked. I chose salmon and my husband chose Smash burgers. The sweet potato and brussel sprouts combination was delicious, highly recommend. We like how they no longer offer tastings but sell flights, it is more profitable for them. Overall a nice afternoon.
    Upper Shirley VineyardsResponded on 3 February 2025
    Thank you for such a sweet review, Linda! We are so pleased to hear that everything from the service to the menu items and wine flights really hit all of the right notes. We hope you'll choose to spend many more nice afternoons with us!

    We’re glad we went and hope to go again. This response program wants us to write more before accepting the sentence above. So, this should do it.
