One of the best wedge salads we've had. Interesting combo of balsalmic and ranch and tons of crunchy bacon. Surprisingly (especially since rona changed the dining experience everywhere), Ventana's ribeye was one of the best I've had out in a long while. Thick cut, well seasoned, grilled well, and priced nicely. Outstanding! Great cocktails, excellent server, and tasty locally made turtle cheesecake even my cheesecake making wife enjoyed. Glad we made reservations for the holiday because it was solid busy. Keep up the good work!

Food was overall good! A word of advice would be to not get the loaded mashed potatoes- small portion and for fifty cents more you could have a giant loaded baked potato. I personally ate the shrimp BLT and found it had a nice flavor. The bacon was cooked well which I prefer my bacon just a little less crispy.

We tried out their wine flight option and he brought out our wines one at a time while we enjoyed the mixed nuts and delicious charcuterie board of mixed cheeses, gluten free crackers and some berries. We really liked all three wine choices (we chose different choices) per flight order. We will definitely go back!

Their menu is smaller and limited to pizza, flat breads, and some hors d'oeuvres. They also have a tasty charcuterie tray. On Sunday afternoons, they have a really delicious brunch. The inside is clean and bright with several tables of various sizes and a few large chairs and a love seat near the fireplace. The service is top notch. Every server always goes above and beyond. There is a private room downstairs available to rent for special occasions. Prestyn's is located on the same property as Copperhill Golf Course and driving range. Stop by for some golf and wine!

I attended a holiday pop-up event here this weekend. I had not visited Belvoir before, but I was…read morevery familiar with the property. My last visit came in 1972 when the property was used as a nursing home by The Odd Fellows fraternal organization, where my grandmother spent the last few years of her life. Prior to that it was an orphanage and for a short time a school - which my older siblings attended in the late 1950's. The winery has done a great job of preserving the history of the main building - one of four structures on the campus. Walking up the old wooden staircase to the second floor brought back instant memories of taking that same staircase to visit a woman that lived there. The nurses told us she claimed to be a relative of Frank and Jesse James, so 8 year old me convinced my mom for us to go visit her. I still recall her small and frail bedridden body holding my hand and thanking me for visiting her. My paternal grandmother lived in the adjacent building. It still sits vacant and deteriorating after decades of abandonment. It is the newest of the 4 structures on the campus having been built in 1955. Her solitary room was first floor left front of the building. I remember walking in and always talking to the nurses and aides at the station at the door. I remember taking presents of clothes and food on Sundays and holidays or just returning her laundry. I remember helping to decorate the room for the holidays. I remember the metal hand bell she used to summon assistance. I remember the beautiful large tree on the circle drive near her building that still stands today. The interior is vandalized and graffitied with no trespassing signs in place, and the windows she spent hours looking out of are now broken, blocked by rogue shrubs and a rusted and collapsing awning. The last time I peered in this window was sometime in 1972 to wave to her as we exited and let her know we'd be back soon. I highly encourage anyone to visit and support this winery and Inn. Check out the sitting rooms, look at the artifacts, documents and photos. Visit "George' the resident skeleton in his glass tomb... and if you listen carefully you might just hear my grandmother's small brass handbell.

You can also sit outside on the side porch on a beautiful day. I love that they embrace the full history of the estate & try to preserve the history as well as making new memories there. We went once just to see how it was & have returned several times now. I like to bring family & friends to the Belvoir, who've traveled to the area since it's such a unique place to go in the KC metroplex. I highly recommend a visit to the Belvoir!
