Pros: Our waitress was nice. Good selection of beers…read more Cons: The restaurant had no vegan entrées, despite what I was told earlier by the owner. My wife and I were in town on vacation, and we were looking for a restaurant that had some vegan options. I messaged the restaurant via their Facebook page to ask if they had anything vegan on the menu. I received this response: "Hi there! We can definitely accommodate! The ramen is vegan, but we are tweaking the menu that is posted online so there may be several more options than not posted. But, we can also create something special on the fly! Thanks so much for coming in!" As it turns out, though, the curry ramen was made with chicken stock, according to our waitress. She went to talk to the chef to see if he could recommend anything. My wife and I could hear their conversation, and we clearly heard the chef say, "I got nothing for them". Really? A chef in a nice restaurant couldn't come up with anything vegan, not even some pasta with marinara or a quick stir-fry? My wife and I were there early, right around 5:00 PM, and there was literally no one else in the restaurant, so it's not like the kitchen was busy. Surely the chef could have whipped-up something vegan if he wanted to. The waitress was very nice and quite apologetic. My wife and I ordered drinks and then went down the street to another restaurant that had two vegan options on the menu. I'm giving barVino two stars just because the waitress was really nice to us, and it wasn't her fault.

Note: Wine tasting cost is per person (not pay for 1 person and share) and it is for 7 tastes with a take home glass. So select your wines wisely... and rank them to see if there is any of them you would like to purchase. We also added a couple of chocolate bonbons to wash the the wine tastings down with. Tried a variety of red, rose, fruit, dry.... and ended up purchasing 2 bottles to bring home - Celebratory Red and Ruby Red, which we rated best of all the ones we tastes. It did take awhile to select and get our tastings but have to be a little patience given timing and the crowd. Looking to come back again next time in town. Cheers!

I definitely wanted to check out the hot chocolate booze drink and will do so when I return to the area. This is a spot I would like to return and take my time and enjoy some drinks.

The soups were definitely the best part of our meals. Then we shared the spinach pistachio salad, crab cakes and bang bang shrimp. The only thing we didn't like was the salad.

Service was great and the outdoor seating was nice. Had a nice time. Just recommend you skip the salad.

I found that extremely concerning. After I paid, I realized I could not find my credit card. The server stood there while I went through my entire purse looking for it, then disappeared for about five minutes. When the server returned, they suddenly had my card. I cannot say exactly what happened, but the combination of a pre-selected tip, a signature that was not mine, and my card temporarily being unaccounted for left me extremely uncomfortable and concerned about how my payment information was handled. The entire experience was disturbing enough that I am seriously considering reporting it.

This winery is set in the woods , which is such a beautiful peaceful experience. There is live music on the weekends. The women who run it are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about their wines and will even give you a taste before you order a glass. That is if you don't want the wine tasting option. You can sit outside in Adirondack chairs or inside, to look out at the woods and listen to the music. My preference is always outside!!! I mean it's beautiful and I can only imagine how amazing it would be in the Fall with all the colored leaves. They have limited food/ snack options which I thought were tasty . We had the crackers and olives which were perfect to snack on. I would recommend going. It's a wonderful relaxing afternoon.
