    Salmon appetizer
    Natalie F.

    We are have a celebratory dinner for something special for my husband. Of course we came to Olaf's. We had appetizer of smoked salmon, entrees of lamb chops and cakes cakes. Always excellent. I also had a jalapeño margarita it was perfect.

    Great Shopping and dinner while in Clifton Texas town. Would recommend reservations. Menu changes and has options for all tastes. We shared a filet and salad. So good we dug in before I took a photo. Steak cooked to order and delicious. Salad was the perfect side cold crisp and light. We enjoyed that our # triathlon - eating drinking shopping could be done under one roof. A quick trip from Dallas will come back.

    Came to Olaf's after having wine at Valley Mills Vineyard. Amazing decision. Utterly surprised at the atmosphere and the amazing food. If I could give 10 stars I would! The New York strip will definitely be ordered again!

    Salads are delish! My fav is their house salad and sliders. I break my carb rule with eating them and I don't feel bad as they are worth it.

    I don't typically leave reviews at all, but occasionally I fall into an experience that warrants…read moreone. That was certainly the case with my experience at the Red Caboose Winery. The RCW is a business that I have passed probably dozens of times in my travels across Texas. Every time I think to stop in, it's been closed but limited hours are the standard for family owned wineries, so no big deal. However, on the trip through today my fiancée and I made the time to ensure it would be open, and indeed it was! After visiting, we really wish it wasn't. The RCW wasn't very busy when we arrived, indeed the only customers present during our visit was a pair of, presumably, locals, another woman with her children, who were very well behaved, and a man that I'm going to refer to as Umbo: The Clifton Giant, who sat at the edge of the bar and seemed to be keeping on eye on everyone present. The woman on staff, who did not introduce herself, seemed to be the only one working this afternoon. We entered and meandered around the small shop section before she haphazardly waved us over, as if visitors and customers were a confusing novelty for her to encounter. Upon taking a seat at the bar, the bartender took a while to get to us, the only customers (at that time) in the place; not mentioning Umbo: The Clifton Giant. We got a tasting of 6 wines and 5 of their distilled spirits. I'll save you the time now, but the spirits aren't worth it. However, given this is a winery, I think that's fair. Our bartender never bothered to tell us anything about their wines. I mentioned how excited we were to try out the place and I might as well have started speaking Klingon because they clearly didn't care at all. At no point were we told a damned thing about the wines, the winery, or anything. Just "here, pick 6 wines." So, we did. In order to try the wines, the wines must first be poured into a glass. Our bartender frequently took longer than 5 minutes (once 7 minutes and 45 seconds that I timed towards the end) to pour the next wine. During that time, she spent it chatting up the locals and engaging in hushed conversation with the aforementioned resident giant. Not that the wines are anything to write home about. Of course, this could be our fault as I guess we pick the wines. However, at least two of the wines had already oxidized and turned to vinegar. They were borderline undrinkable. The wines that weren't vinegar were either just okay or, as our bartender told us, several times, were the "cheap wines" that we could buy for even cheaper "at the grocery store." So, lots of confidence there. Now let's discuss the giant in the room, Umbo. I don't know his name. Maybe he's super friendly, I don't know, but I do know that his consistent presence and observation skills (mixed with his muffled laughter and hushed conversations) made it super uncomfortable to be there. He's just sitting there, sipping on a Dr. Pepper, occasionally staring at us. I have no idea what his presence was for. Husband? Brother? Boyfriend? Security? No idea. But we wanted out of there after a while. Paying was fine. I saw some other reviews complaining about the cost. I thought the $15 for a tasting of 6 wines and $10 for the 5 spirits was more than fair. We also liked the place itself. It looked nice and seemed comfy. My fiancée and I have been to many wineries over lots of places. The RCW may have taken the cake for "winery that we could not wait to leave." It was a genuinely terrible experience. Sour wine, terrible service, and Paul Bunyon's younger brother would probably sum up the experience as a whole. I am connected to a few wine groups in Houston, who I have been with for many years now, who are always looking for new places and stops. I've already let them know to go ahead and pass the RCW on by. I would recommend anyone else to do the same. Unless you're looking for vinegar. In which case, you've found the right place.

    Be sure to say hi to "the Renaissance man" proprietor and vinter Gary McKibben…read more Gary is passionate about his wines, ports and spirits and as well he should be as many are gold medal winners and served in expense-account steakhouses across central and North Texas.

Follow the Red Caboose Facebook page for their special events / we enjoyed Adam Hull on guitar playing Christmas tunes. Lastly - don't miss the super foodie charcuterie tray and my personal favorite wine - the Jan Tempranillo

We started with the pan-roasted romanesco, which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The bread service with compound butter was a standout on its own: simple, but done at such a high level that it set the tone for the entire meal. We grabbed seats at the bar, which ended up being a great move. The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, and we enjoyed several glasses from their excellent wine selection. Our bar tender was knowledgeable, welcoming, and she made the whole experience feel elevated without being pretentious. For entrees, my wife ordered the chicken and fries, crispy, juicy, and incredibly satisfying. I went with Blaine's burger, and I don't say this lightly: it's hands down one of the top three burgers of my life. Perfectly cooked, beautifully balanced, and unforgettable.

But, I've also really enjoyed some dishes, and my friends have loved what they've tried too! It's fun to try the new menus and see what Blaine has cooked up next. Ambiance wise, they've done a lot to make a nondescript spot on Richland Dr into a nice dinner atmosphere. It has an understated but tasteful vibe, and the wait staff is engaging and knowledgeable!
