Traveling to Grand Rapids, we stopped along the way for lunch at Tabor Hill Winery. We haven't been there in years. I forgot how good their restaurant is. We sat outside overlooking the vineyard. Molly was our server. She was friendly and engaging. Lunch was a walleye sandwich with chips for hubby and the fig & prosciutto flatbread for me. The walleye had a crispy crust coating the moist and tender fish. I took a bite of hub's sandwich and it was so good. My flatbread, though, was amazing. I'm all about a good crust and this one was perfection. So crispy, yet light with all air pockets in the crust. Of course, I love anything fig and this didn't disappoint. I ate 3 squares and took the rest with me. Of course being at the vineyard, we ordered a glass of wine. My husband had the albariño and I ordered the sauvignon blanc. I didn't care for the sauvignon blanc. When the manager came by, we raved about the food but I was honest about the wine. She gave me a taste of the chardonnay and she was right. It was good. I was happy she switched my wine. The negatives are the wasps are nuisances, and there were no traps to catch them. I was dodging them the entire meal. I guess it's hazard when dining al fresco. The other annoyance was the water glasses are small, and my water was never refilled and my glass sat empty even with Molly and the manager stopping by during the meal. Since the glass is small, they should leave a bottle of water at the table or make it a point to check and recheck the water glasses. This is a nice stop for lunch on the Michigan wine trail. read more

We have been going to Tabot Hill since 2013 and never had we been so disappointed. The service was great and the food tasted good but there was not enough food on our plate to fill us. The portation was so small that we had to go eat somewhere else after we left. May We suggest a few more choices on the menu and larger portions of food to go along with the prices. read more

My wife and I have celebrated many occasions with family and friends. The entire ambiance of vineyards sets the tone for the restaurant. Recently they have revamped their menu and chef. At first we were missing the old standbys and the plentiful choices. However, once we ordered we were satisfied with the fresh and delicious food choices. The new 9 dollar appetizer really clicked and our entree of trout was well prepared and something out of the ordinary. The Mille floure for dessert capped of a cozy anniversary dinner. As always the wine was delicious and worth the visit! Tabor Hills is a gem and always the right choice for any occasion. Tabor Hills service was friendly and attentive and the food reflecting upscale artistry of the culinary arts! read more

The food was good. Service was good. Ambiance was good. There was some confusion about who was going to serve our table. Seemed like a management issue. The dish names were a little misleading. Hope the pictures help. read more

Beautiful grounds, friendly attentive service, and such a great atmosphere overall. We sat indoors by the windows overlooking the vineyard, which made the experience even more special. The food was delicious, and after eating we took a little hike with the boys around the property. They also had live music, which added so much to the vibe. We absolutely loved it! read more

We had a bad experience at Tabor Hill restaurant. They were not serving food even though we verified by calling ahead and checking website. Three other couples were there with the same problem. The lady that worked there provided no answers just told us she was sorry. I think they will be going out of business soon. read more

Beautiful setting inside or out. We have sat outside and listened to music while overlooking the vineyard. We had appetizers and wine of course. We also went here for dinner one night. Sat inside near a window. The food was amazing, as were the drinks (wine and Irish coffees). Service has always been top notch. We look forward to going back here. read more

Visited this location because they allow dogs. Much appreciated that they allow dogs but there are restrictions. I wish I would have know that we would limited in menu items because we had the pup. On this occasion we were really looking to get lunch and options for outside were extremely limited. Overall, we had a good time as we really did enjoy the bruschetta which was full of strawberries, goat cheese, balsamic vinaigrette, and I believe arugula . We thought that the bread for the bruschetta was very unique as it was soft and pillow. Definitely would recommend getting bruschetta from this establishment. For my wine tasting I got a flight of the dry white wine and it was OK. My favorite of the four was the Pinot Gris. I thought that I was going to prefer the Albrino, but unfortunately it was not to my taste buds liking. I would say the wine tasting would've been better at the wine bin cold but the wine felt very room temperature and I did not enjoy that. On occasion, they were doing an event of rosé and croquette and it looks like a really nice set up. However, we left because we were really hungry and so that factored into not spending as much time there. read more

This winery is absolutely beautiful and features spectacular views! The wine tasting itself was great, and the entire staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. However, I was very disappointed to find out they don't offer charcuterie boards to pair with the wine. When we asked, we were told they have a new chef and a dedicated lunch menu instead--but it feels like a major miss for a winery not to have a simple charcuterie option. On the bright side, we ended up having lunch at their restaurant, and the food did not disappoint. I would still recommend this spot to anyone looking for an amazing Napa-style winery vibe, but I hope they consider adding boards back to the tasting experience! read more

Amazing ambiance, great great food and drinks. We had a lovely evening and met great people there. This is our new "go to" place!

Not sure this place is ready- service wise - rhythm wise, for the carefully crafted menu it offers, which is thoughtful offering real, elevated but basic options to community and beyond. . Service is un measured, terrible timing-- drinks take way too long, and should be served before the entree. water skimpy poured, and casual attitude for a rather un casual menu and vibe. The place is confused, and just doesn't carry through a philosophy or vision from kitchen to table. What's the point of a chef? . There were un bussed tables around and a careless sound track. LOOK AT YOUR VIEW! It should parallel in better service, sound, table wear, presentation. No body needs destination place that sweats glasses and blares lights. It's just too pretty a spot and menu for a genetic offering. read more

Service was great and some good wine. Danielle at the bar was the best! So knowledgeable and friendly.

My 6 friends and I drove in from Chicago to spend the day in St. Joe's. We made a reservation at Tabor Hill for 4:15pm dinner. We experienced the wine tasting which was excellent. We came here for the farm to table experience and of course the wine. My son is a chef and so I am experienced in the farm to table concept. Our appetizers were very good. 2 ordered the trout and they thought it was very good, but very small portions of trout. 2 ordered the pork, and the same very good but extremely small portions of the pork. 2 ordered the duck and they were not impressed, not only small portion of the duck but under cooked. I ordered the steak ($65) and not only was the steak slices extremely small, they were tasteless. The worst steak I ever had especially for farm to table. The creamy kale was delicious and so was the crispy onions. I did mention this to the waitress and she apologized. She told me she would speak to the manager. When we got our bill, i was charged full price for the meal, and they gave me a free glass of wine. I wasn't looking for a free meal, I did eat the steak, but I really think for that price I should have received an apology from the manager or something! This is not a place we will return to. We spent well over $600, not including the wine tasting. It would not be worth the drive. Tabor Hill is a beautiful place, the wine is good, but the food definitely needs improvement. We were all extremely hungry, so the food was eaten.......not happy about the portion size and taste, and price. We were bothered horribly with the flies that were buzzing around the windows and table....and we ate inside. read more

menu has changed as well as atmosphere. Used to be a quiet and romantic place to go. Atmosphere was rowdy, many patrons who were already drinking came in as we were leaving. Loud and squabbling. Felt they are trying to be upscale with the menu change but the wait staff was not professional. In middle of taking our order, waitress stopped and yelled "hey girlfriend" to a couple walking toward us, "oh, sorry". Couple next to us told a waitress he did not care for his burger and she argued with him and said the chef knows his is better when patron asked her to let chef know. Heard him say they will not be back. Couple on other side complained about limited menu. Sad Tabor Hill felt more like a medium scale restaurant. read more

We used to love our visits but new ownership and chef. Sadly no more steak/ lobster dinner. Very disappointed with the new menu which is very pricey. Anyway we won't be going back. read more

For a Saturday you think they would have more than two people taking care of doing the samples. The two employees were polite but there was no time to give us any information about the winery or the wine. It was the equivalent of a fast food wine tasting. There was no where to hang your purse or sit down. It's a shame that their goal is to get you in and out as quickly as possible because we enjoyed a number of the wines, but only one bottle was purchased between the seven of us. read more

Good wines, nice winery. I've been here before covid and recall the restaurant being amazing food wise but after having lunch yesterday there we weren't that impressed. It was okay but nothing amazing. Just food to get us through the wines. The views of course are nice but after wandering to round barn it was more lively there and wished we went there earlier. read more

This winery had stunning views and also a fun hiking trail right next to it. The service for the wine was very quick. I really enjoyed all of the wine I tasted there. The food service was slower than i expected however I was with a really large party. The food itself was very good. I had the Tuscan chicken and the flavor made it's way through the bread so it was really good. My only regret was not picking up a bottle of wine to bring home, but hey now I have incentive too go back! read more

Not a huge fan of the wines but dinner was great! I just felt a bit rushed through the tasting but that's fine. We did come in 1/2 hour before the tasting room closed so I get it! We sat at the bar on a Friday evening because it was packed at 7pm. We did the bread, burger and some jalapeno dirty martinis. Service was good. Bartender was really slinging the drinks so things were a bit slow but to be expected on a Friday night! read more

Outstanding food and ambience here--actually even better than the wine. On a Saturday around 1pm we were seated in an amazing spot with views of the vineyard on two sides--but there were many more cozy spots throughout the building. Would be a great place to come and dine on a warm summer night as there is amazing outdoor seating next to the vines. As a dry red drinker, I thought the wines were just ok. But this is still the spot I would take visitors for a meal--the service and ambience were impeccable. So much attention to detail. And those rolls!! read more

Beautiful place our second to last stop on our winery tour. I loved the customer service here ,out of all the rest. It is more expensive for tasting here but it's a more elevated experience as well.

Our buster (a young woman) was flat out rude. She didn't bother to say "excuse me" or may I take your plate ~ just announced, I'm taking your plate now. Unbelievable. What happened to basic manners?!? We even informed the manager "Jacob" and he didn't seem to care one bit. Terrible service and no accountability. John & Annette kolovos read more

To be brief, we were disappointed and will not be returning any time in the near future. Made reservations for Valentine's weekend, being busy that day we had to wait to be seated (in spite of having reservations). We stood and waited in the lobby/wine tasting area. Apparently, they have no waiting area to accommodate/seat waiting guests, or if they do, nobody cared to inform us. Once shown our seats we were left to put our coats on the floor. Apparently, they have no coat check, or if they do, nobody cared to inform us. What about hanging them on the back of the chair? As we were dressed up, we were wearing long coats, so besides being tacky, draping them on our chairs wasn't an option. Further, IMO they had so many tables packed into the room that they should have just put in picnic tables and squeezed a dozen more folks into the space. Our server came to the table in a reasonable amount of time, but once we ordered our wine we waited so long we discussed just leaving (and wondering if they'd even notice.) Our server was friendly, and there appeared to be an abundance of staff, but we were often left wanting or waiting, so we wondered if she lacked training or experience. We had to ask for water. Seriously?! That's not how an upscale restaurant should operate, but they made up for it by waiting for us to ask for refills. Again, we considered leaving as we waited an inordinately long time for our appetizer. Sure, it was Valentine's weekend so they must have been busy. True - it was and they were. But shouldn't we expect a seasoned establishment advertising specifically for Valentine's day guests to anticipate a good turnout and be ready to rock a full house? It appeared they were not. I will say that the food was tasty and portions more than met expectations. That said, it seemed that they're not preparing their famous raspberry chicken the way they have in years past. When it was time to pay, the server brought over the handheld device to run my card. I was surprised and quite uncomfortable with her literally watching over my shoulder as I filled out the tip and signed. Did she think I was going to walk out with it? Very rude! Each little shortcoming, in and of itself, wasn't really much of a thing but as they stacked up throughout the evening they served to tilt the scale toward an overall negative experience. This wasn't a quick bite at a burger joint. A better experience is to be expected from a high-dollar establishment fancying themselves to be top tier. read more

Oh through the forest we go.... At the end of the quaint hiking trail, we found a true gem! Tabor Hill is absolutely beautiful. We loved the property. We decided to sit out on the back patio area overlooking the vineyard. We decided to split a few flights and indulge in a a charcuterie board. It was perfectly paired with our wine choices. The food menu at Tabor Hill was quite extensive if you're looking for dinner options, too. read more

Menu and food are lackluster, which is a shame. Ive had many memorable lunches/ dinners at Tabor hill. Service was bad, we had to reorder because she forgot my wifes selection, drinks check back/ check down etc was awful. Timing, refills everything was late , long or never showed. Appetizer was meh, I ordered the smoked turkey dip...i got a flew slices of deli lunchmeat that was dry, on a Gonella roll. And the final straw...a hair in it My daughter had the trout w capers and lemon and some grilled asparagus. It was actually pretty good amd she enjoyed it. This was neither great food, great service or a good value. Stay away, this is engineered food made for extracting money as quickly as possible from wine tourists. Again...a shame because at one time Tabor Hill flirted with actual greatness, we have been coming here for 25 yrs. Read the reviews...they tell a predictable story arc. Will never return ever. read more

My friends and I came to the area for a bachelorette party wine tour. This was the second stop on our tour and our lunch stop. It's such a beautiful location! We didn't do a tasting here but had lunch and it was pretty good. As part of our tour package, we each got an entree and drink and shared an appetizer. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with a side salad and a red sangria. I liked everything and it was a big portion. The bread on the sandwich was super soft and pillowy. The arancini appetizer was my favorite part. I could've had just a whole meal of those. The staff were friendly and I bet this would be a great location to spend more time. We dined inside on the enclosed porch but there was a bunch of outdoor seating out by the vineyards that looked pretty awesome too. read more

We've been here several times over the years, but hadn't been for.a while prior to our latest visit for our anniversary getaway weekend. My wife and I enjoyed the restaurant with the scenic views. Tasty food and friendly service. We went outside for a wine tasting (not an indoor option for tastings on the weekend anymore, apparently) and encountered some disappointments: - It's not a true wine tasting experience, as you can no longer select the wines you want to try. There are three pre-chosen "flights" you can choose from. - Once you choose a flight, the wine is served in plastic cups on what resembles a muffin box. - In past experiences here, it was always nice to chat with the server about the wine, etc prior to tasting each one. That personalized experience doesn't really exist in this format. My wife, who is more of the wine drinker in our home, was definitely disappointed in all of these "cut corners." We proceeded to Round Barn, where we had much the same experience (same ownership), but made it to Dablon Winery later for an experience that definitely met our expectations. read more

Being able to sip on some wine in a picture perfect setting is my favorite way to spend a beautiful fall afternoon. We didn't eat this time just did a tasting in the bar. You can also sit outside to do tastings right along the vineyard but it was a little too chilly for me. They offer a wine club membership for an annual fee that includes a couple other surrounding wineries. It's actually a pretty good deal. I bought a case of wine & had to have it shipped so I figured why not. I ended up saving $156 on the wine alone. Plus got 1/2 off the tasting. read more

Overall, it was just OK - the views were pretty great and I liked how they had three different tasting areas with different ambiance's, but the wines and flights were just ok. Our table got the dry red and dry white flights - the dry white group was much happier. I did very much appreciate the sparkling cherry on top of the tasting - it was like a sparkling mulled wine! But I was sad they were served in plastic cups with no explanation or tasting notes, that's usually my favorite part of a wine tour. read more

I have been here twice and enjoyed my food both times! They have been able to accommodate our larger groups (did call ahead for reservations) and we had great service both times. There are lots of gluten free options which is nice for our group as well. Pretty views of the winery from the restaurant as well. You can visit their sister winery, round barn, through the trails which is a lot of fun! Highly recommend doing this while here as well. read more
