Third time back here, and we made it into the actual bistro as there was a storm coming and the veranda seating would be great for that! It's actually quite beautiful inside, I do miss a window to see outside, but they have made this space a treat to have dinner in. All the little touches, the little thing that holds your knife off the actual table, the handbag chair, you can tell this was all well thought out.
Came with a friend to catch up , we decided to do small plates, and we started with their new bubbly, which I've been dying to try, Thursday was apparently 25% off a glass or bottle night, so bottle it was! Bit nervous it was going to be sweet, but it wasn't, more Brut like, but with a soft finish. Fruity but dry. Loved the glasses too!
We started with the Pomme frites as everyone should! These were better than the first time I came, more truffle flavor and less McDonald's like! Delicious!
Then we tried the Greek meatballs, chicken meatballs, with greens, tomatoes, feta, homemade tzatziki and a tabbouleh salad with some naan, this was a meal in itself. Very fresh, great flavors, very simple but tasty.
Honestly full at this point , but dessert is a must, they had a plethora of choices which was a menu in itself, we went with the coconut cake. Wow! Levi our server talked this up but when it came out I was stunned by how pretty the plate was. They definitely know how to create beautiful plates here, lots of berries, a delicious house made coulis , lemon curd and the cake itself was light, paired well with bubbles and was the perfect combination of everything we wanted. Highly recommend this dessert, even though they all sounded great. Maybe I can suggest a sampler of at least three of the desserts?
It's so nice to have a nice place in Mocksville without having to go into Winston, I wish more people would come out here, yes it's pricier than most local places, but the food and wine and service warrant the price.
Levi was fantastic, and kept our glasses topped up, water glasses filled and checked in on us. He was funny, informative and a great representative of the winery, he definitely knows his stuff. Thank you for taking such good care of our table.
Looking forward to going back soon!
Had such a great time here. read more
