I was delighted by the white sangria which was cold and refreshing. I didn't ask what was in it (silly me) but it tasted like Chardonnay. The atmosphere was super relaxing.

Super nice and got the job done well!

The selection to pick from is massive, but they are there to help you pick the right one for you.

Wines are their specialty but they have a nice beer selection, I was able to get a German festbeir that I've never even heard of. I tried the food for the first time this week.

I would just recommend that you don't show up very hungry.

We also had a small dinner salad I had Caesar and my daughter had regular small salad with ranch. Michael had steak and scallops cooked to perfection. The ladies had wine and Michael had his brown sugar old fashioned with extra cherries . Then we ordered two deserts a coconut cream brûlée and a pichstasio cake. We all liked the crème brûlée best. Stephanie was extremely attentive and we wanted for nothing. We will ask for her next time as well. Thank you chef and Stephanie for a lovely evening.

The mushroom gnocchi and the chicken dish were the most underwhelming meal I've had this year. Each dish was $40+ when the taste and preparation was equivalent to a maximum $20.

During a Pandemic, they have re-opened their business without requiring masks as State mandated…read more They offer multiple arts and craft classes where everyone is sitting at tables close to each other and they do not wear masks, thereby possibly being a part of community spread. When I simply asked whether they participate in mask wearing, Laura, the manager, responded to me in anger and belligerence instead of speaking to me in a professional tone. As a business who wants their business to thrive, they do not seem concerned about their customers' safety. She also retaliated against me within the community and continues to harass me - just because I asked about masks. I have been nothing but a paying patron in their business and do not deserve to be harrassed politically. On the same public forum where I placed my one question, another person who had visited here from out of town asked the same question. Laura's response to her was "mind your own business."

When we were seated, we were offered 3 different table choices instead of being brought to a table. A general area was indicated and since neither of us had been here before, it was a bit chaotic. Had to wait a few beats for a server, but she was friendly when she arrived. We started with the potato skins which were all topped inconsistently - some had more cheese, some more bacon, and some skimpy all around. My friend got the burger and she said it was delicious. I got the steak grilled cheese which was salty and the meat wasn't easy to consume. I was under the assumption this would be more of a grilled cheese, but it was really bread with melted cheese and steak stuck in between. We both got fries and we did enjoy those. The decor is of Wilkes over the years which was pretty cool. I did notice the sign above our table had Wilkes misspelled - I don't know if that was a typo of the town had a different name previously. I'm unsure if I'd choose to come back here again. If so, I'll probably try a burger.
