Went here for a holiday event. Had several types of passed appetizers and a small buffet. The general consensus was that the food was outstanding! Crab cakes, pork belly, lamb chops, King Salmon, and prime rib, as well as others. All were amazing.

Awesome atmosphere and service. I'm vegan, and our server was able to talk with the chef to whip me up one of the best veggie pasta dishes ever. Great cocktails, and the wine selection is pretty impressive. There was a band there with great music. I'd definitely return here. Friendly and warm environment.

First time dining at this restaurant for my friend's birthday. Loved the view and the ambiance. We did have noisy and probably drunk customers behind us - that part was distracting lol... I also was a fan of the service. Our waiter was great as well as all of the staff. We stayed until closing time! We had the lobster risotto (amazing by the way!), oysters, Chilean sea bass and lamb. There was plentiful amount of lobster in the risotto dish. Very filling and highly recommend. We also got truffle mashed potatoes and asparagus for sides. These were decent but I wasn't blown away... We had a mixture of desserts but the cheesecake was my personal favorite! Tiramisu was also good. The food was super flavorful! overall two thumbs up! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

There is so much much going for this restaurant, from the views to the ambiance but what impressed us most on this Mother’s Day was the GM Richard, our server Arielle (which just so happens to be my daughter’s name) and the entire staff. We laughed, we dined and we shared. It was an excellent time had by all. Thank you for making this a very enjoyable Mother’s Day. (will try your La Jolla location next) YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!! 🥂🧡

My cutest cousins took me here for my birthday and I loved it. We sat by the water and had a very lovely meal. Brussels sprouts 👌 Steak 👌 🍟 🔥🔥🔥 Calamari and short rib were ok. Not bad but not going to write home about it. Very date night spot.

I was on a business trip in this area of Orange County and had dinner with some colleagues last night. The place is a bit outdated, but service was very good. The food portion was generous and the appetizers (pork belly lollipops and octopus) we tasty and well presented. However some of the steaks we ordered came a bit over cooked. In my case, I ordered the Bison steak special (depicted) and it was alright, nothing too spectacular. The risotto and bean beans that came with it were tasteful nonetheless. I liked it but might look for other options if I'm back.

For Thanksgiving, food was very good. Turkey portion very good. Shrimp dish was small and not worth money and not told that bread was $6 - that was annoying as it was mediocre bread and wait staff should have told us. It affected their tip. As with most Thanksgiving dinners at good restaurants- quite over priced but food all tasted good. Bit noisy.

I had such a spectacular dinner here. JC was super accommodating, friendly and made you feel very welcomed. We were sat with the most beautiful view, the service was hands down top notch, food, where to even begin! We ordered the petite tower, Caesar salad with EXTRA anchovies (and they did not disappoint with their servings), steak, king crab… and dare I say, truffle mashed potatoes! My mouth is watering as I am doing this review which only goes to show, their food is amazing. I highly recommend! I was brought here to celebrate my birthday and I wouldn’t wish to have dined elsewhere. Thank you The Winery and staff for a wonderful and memorable dining experience. 💙🥳

We celebrated our anniversary tonight at the winery! It was a wonderful night! Great food! I can tell you we had the best server, his name was Matthew! Did a fantastic job took great care of us. Very friendly very personable knew what he was recommending. If you go to the winery you need to be seated in Matthews section. Fantastic live music The Pianist was perfect at his craft. Just a great wonderful relaxing evening. Thank you Winery for an excellent anniversary!

Our server, Brian was awesome and the sommelier as well. Their recommendations are on par. However, the beignets are very different from the norm.

This place is so romantic! We were seated in a private patio area that overlooked the waterfront. The food was amazing and the staff was so friendly. This visit was for a friend’s birthday party but I definitely want to come back and try the other menu items!

The view of the harbor was beautiful. Christina gave great service. The food was fantastic. My wife had the lobster special and I had steak and mashed potatoes. We shared a salad and and order of bread and butter. He both had plenty of food left for lunch the next day.

What a beautiful place to visit! Let's go start to finish... The parking lot... well... lack of parking lot... is a small area to pull in for valet parking only. If you plan to self park you will need to look elsewhere. Valet was only $8 and they were very quick with getting our car afterwards also. When you enter the building there is a huge wall of wine bottles that would make for an amazing picture backdrop. The Maître D was extremely friendly and very quick to assist us. She even wished us a happy anniversary based on the reservation notes. We opted to eat dinner at the bartop which featured a beautifully backlit shell countertop (see pictures). Our bartender, Jason, was top quality. He was able to tell us about all of the specials without hesitation and offered his opinions and insight on the food and drinks which did not disappoint. He always had a full bar but was still personable and attentive to everyone. We did have a few food items that are not pictured which include the YG's Alsation "Pizza", Crispy Kurobuta Pork Belly Lollipops, and the Seasonal Local Heirloom Tomatoes (which was my favorite). They were all wonderful and I could have easily made a meal from just these. Based on Jason's suggestion we did get the Ribeye (pictured) on special as well as the Chili Lime Rubbed Mahi Mahi (pictured) and both were delicious. The final plate was the Warm Vanilla Beignets which was easily the BEST dessert I've had in my life. The beignets arrive warm with cold ice cream, vanilla creme, and a rich vanilla sauce with both chocolate and strawberry dipping sauces. I STRONGLY recommend you save room for dessert and treat yourself to this dish.
