We hadn't made time to stop at any wineries during the day, so we choose to stop in here due to the recommendation of Worldmark staff. This is a phenomenal wine tasting option whether you have the time to visit individual local wineries or not, as 13 wineries are represented: Chatom, Chiarella, Cpppermine, Domaine Becquet, Frog's Tooth, Four Winds, Ironstone, LaFolia, Mineral, Prospect 772, Renner, Stevenot, and Zucca Mountain. For a small fee (Worldmark guests receive a discount), we tried several Domaine Becquet (Cab-Shiraz), Four Winds (Chard), Ironstone (Zin 104), Mineral (Merlot) and Zucca Mtn (Sangiovese). Buck, our gracious host, shared a wealth of knowledge on each winery, winemaker and family, making the tastings very personal, special and interesting! There was no "favoritism" for one wine or winery. One couple in our group purchased several bottles, however one, the Domaine Becquet Cab-Shiraz (DELISH!) was not in stock, but would be available in 24-48 hours. Buck took our number and as soon as this wine was available, he contacted us and made arrangements to drop it off at our room when convenient for us. Wonderful customer service! Making a brief pass-thru of this area? Short on time? Stop at The Cellar Room for a variety of wine tasting options, all in one location. We'll be back next year!

From the owner: The Cellar Room is the perfect introduction to Calaveras county's wine region in one beautiful…read morelocation, and a perfect opportunity for guests to taste and learn about wines from some of Calaveras County's best vintners in a unique setting located right at the golf course.

Nice Atmosphere. Waited over an hour for food that was served at room temperature. Our waitress came and checked on our table 2 times the whole time we were there. We waited for approx 15 minutes for her to come and ask if we needed another beer. She looked at our table several times without coming over, So at this point my husband went to the bar and got his own beers. I will say that when Melanie (whom was not our waitress) found out what was going on, she tried her best to make things right. But by this time my family was hangry and we didn't want to sit another hour to see if they could remake our food right. On positive notes, Melanie was exceptional and personable and the breaded cauliflower was Amazing. read more

Just got told and attacked verbally by Staff to watch my back today for a year old review i cant find. harassed . I left without causing a disturbance. I was minding my own business and playing one game of pool. Im a LOCAL and do not recommend. I hope they make a good biz around here but im not going back myself Ever. Figure it out on your own. Hardly went there in the last year. Almost called the Sheriff. Its not my fault if they cant take positive criticism and flip out. read more

It's decently large inside with two bar areas. One to the left when you walk in and one to the right. They have indoor seating towards the back, and you can sit in the bar as well.

I got the country fried steak and loved it, I never order it on a menu but felt like being different and so happy I did. The batter was crispy and the gravy was so delicious. My husband had a burger and said it was good, he said a bit over cooked but not by much was still a medium rare. We had micheladas to drink with the blonde ale they had on tap!

The outside is a nice atmosphere but the flys were pretty annoying landing on myself or on the table. They do have these fans to deter the flys but they only help so much. We were welcome by a waitress who brought us to a table. I ordered a "WELL DONE" Angus burger but was brought a MEDIUM RARE, so I was pretty disappointed by that. What chef doesn't know how to prepare WELL DONE BURGER! The only good thing that I enjoyed was the taste of the beef despite having blood dripping out of my buns. This restaurant has so many inconsistencies that I didn't know who my waiter was. Mind you they were not that busy yet the didn't have the decency to come out of the restaurant to ask us "how are food was going" or if we needed our water cups to be refilled! Our food took almost an hour to get it out of the kitchen!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO WATCH "HELLS KITCHEN" TO LEARN HOW TO RUN A GOOD SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANT! WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL!

Even though it was late on a Tuesday the patio was still busy. We got a nice table outside because it was a beautiful day and we had our GSD with us. Shared the beet salad and the chicken burrito and also a kids hamburger with fries for the pup ( fries were for us). PROTIP: We took the option to split each dish by the kitchen and although it cost a couple bucks more, you get a little more of everything! Beet salad was solid with perfect allocations of all ingredients. I would say it was a bit heavy on the dressing but I like minimal dressing and my partner said it was perfect so there you go. The burrito was "wet" and delicious! Lots of flavor fresh ingredients and very saucy. Only thing it lacked was a little heat. Ask for tapatio if you like a little spice. The hamburger by the way, was larger than a normal hamburger you get on the kiddie menu. And the fries were piping hot and fresh. Our dog loved the burger as he should and we downed all the fries. Highly recommend and will be back!

When the dish was placed before me the bread slid to the other side of the white dish that had no other accompanying garnish like a piece of lettuce or parsley. It was one, maybe a 2" x 5" very thin piece of sourdough toast. Hardly a snack. Bacon was obviously cooked hours before and very overcooked. This dish was hardly appetizing as it was covered by three slices of very crispy bacon which fell to the side, revealing about four microscopic chips of tomato and 4 of avocado. The avocado was over ripe and black and I could barely see the yellow tomato. I was very disappointed in the visual appearance of this dish, to say the least! And the ingredients were barely present to illicit any flavor. I was given silverware, but upon trying to cut the toast the whole thing fell apart. I pieced it together and used my hands. Now, I know fresh food items are expensive, but this item in no way warranted the price of $16.75! I do not recommend this very busy, seemingly popular eatery.
