Raw and baked oysters were perfect. Ceviche was not my favorite, but the steak tartare got better with each bite. Cocktails were beautiful and well balanced. Scallops with crispy pork belly were arguably the best we’ve ever had. Chocolate dessert with blackberries paired exceptionally with the 20 year ports we had to finish our meal. Ambiance and service were impeccable. Great spot for a romantic date. Dinner next to open air windows overlooking the garden and vineyards is as good as it gets.

I love the ambience and service here. Food is very good but not my-head-is-spinning-cant-wait-to-go-back. Calamari starter good, but accompanying dipping sauce spicy! My friend had shrimp, again very spicy. I just think sometimes chefs try too hard, rather than making the ingredients stand for themselves. Bar is super cool, and bartender Matt B. Made me a great gin martinis.

Very good first dinner here. The mushroom ravioli smaller portion was rich, savory and delicious. I enjoyed the Beluga lentil patties with spinach. Partner had the oysters. We shared the Caesar salad which they split for us, and he had the sea bass. All very good but the fish was slightly overcooked. Very competent waiter and beautiful ambience. Can’t wait to come back next trip into town!

The restaurant located right next to the vineyard with option of patio seating. The inside ambiance is quite dark and romantic, but outdoor seating is always better( the only negative is if they can have more staff would have made our dinning experience a higher notch). Great selections of appetizers and wines. You can also select chef menu as well.

Upscale dining with nice patio views. Pricing is expensive. But the food is delicious. The venison, osso bucco, and ribs were very tender and well prepared.

Visited for Valentine’s Day. Excellent service and good wine selection. I very much enjoyed the bottle of Faust and the 20 year old tawny port for desert. The menu was prefixed because of V day, not bad, but generic for popular crowd pleasure. Had the salmon, was good texture and cooked just right. They were very kind to accommodate my slight pickiness with it. Overall great ambience and lovely place to visit. Will need to come back for a better idea of their regular menu, bit Overall very pleased.

The food is always magnificent. The wine is always divine. This place has had 4 diamond ratings it seems forever. When I was last staying at Vintners Inn and ate here, it was 4 diamonds then as well, and that was 2009.

Nice restaurant, good food and basic service.Carbon chunks over the meat and burnt skin of the beans, didn’t make the taste nice and I tried to clean it away off the food with the knife. In addition, I hurt my teeth chewing a tiny piece of bone.
