Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Food was good and service was also with the exception that she would come over and then leave mid sentence. She don’t pour one glass after initial wine was opened and another staff opened it. The elk, lamb, deserts (toffee pudding and beignets) and sides( Brussels and mashed) were good. My crab was horrible, not one ounce sweetness, undercooked, and butter no salt and watered down as it didn’t harden when getting cool. So for 45$ and the easiest plate I would not recommend it at all.

We had mixed experiences at this restaurant. Upon entering, we were hit with the overwhelming smell of strong toilet chemicals, which was off-putting. However, the dim lighting and beautiful decor, featuring wall-to-wall wine bottles, created a cozy ambiance. The patio with harbor views was lovely, but the chairs were uncomfortable and needed replacement. Unfortunately, the food didn't impress us. The rib steak was the worst we've ever had - tough, fibrous, and bland. We couldn't finish our dessert, the cream brûlée, which was usually our favorite. On the bright side, the service was excellent, with friendly and attentive servers. Overall, this restaurant has potential, but needs to improve its food quality and amenities."
We had an incredible time here. We went for our anniversary and everyone made sure to say congratulations. They even served us a congrats dessert. The food was so fresh and full of flavor. For the price, we had some high expectations. This place definitely exceeded them. Thanks to our server Stacy for being so personable and attentive! Other notes, there was a live musician that set a nice ambiance. Parking was valet only, for $10. The website says the dress code is strictly enforced, but there were people there in cargo shorts and hats for dinner. We felt a little over dressed. Great place though!
My first time doing an event at The Winery and it was a great experience. Their staff is super friendly and also very helpful in working with us as outside vendors. Their food and drinks was very delicious. Will be going back with my family to enjoy a Prime Rib dinner.
