    Maestro De Bodega
    Vivian W.

    Our friends suggested we try this place out and we did this past weekend. This winery is a huge property . They must have had a quarterly wine pick up it was pretty busy when we arrived . We were planning to do a wine tasting but they were very busy at the wine bar top , so we just purchased a bottle of the Maestro de Bodega an award winning wine , smooth finish. The Dave burger was absolutely fabulous & even better than you offered a GF bun. Fresh order & hot French fries w/ a yummy seasoning. We were planning to eat on the patio but it was a tad windy & chill so one of your friendly ladies at Helwig said one of the rooms was available to sit at . Definitely not as scenic as the patio view which was spectacular but it was a tad to chill to be sitting in the patio . It was a great visit & we will definitely be back !

    Delicious food (ask for the house made hot sauce if you like things spicy), friendly staff, beautiful scenery, and wine available by the glass from the tasting room. I agree with another Yelper that they could reduce their single use plastic use by serving food on compostable plates or containers.

    Brisket sandwich and fries...great choice and super tasty.

    You know that Saturday afternoon feeling when your date blindfolds you...kidnapping you to Amador County for a lover's weekend?...okay maybe you don't know that feeling...I was 100% down with that experience though, and next thing I know I'm walking into the The Kitchen @ Helwig Winery. Quickly glanced at the menu and the brisket sandwich was calling me out! Ordered up one brisket sandwich that included seasonal fries and one quesadilla, add grilled chicken. Minutes later we picked up our food order and bam! I Examined my sandwich however I forgot to bring my Yelp Elite food scale and tape measure for this adventure...for those of you wondering it's like a Yelp CSI gear bag for the Elite of the Elites. Needless to say this brisket sandwich and fries was a bullseye today folks. Everything about this sandwich was A plus, plus the brisket flowed together wonderfully with all the ingredients to include fried pickles and I don't even like pickles!The weight and size of this brisket sandwich was like a miniature Boeing 747 it just kept giving and giving due to the amount of brisket deliciousness. When hunting the bomb Zinfandel in Amador Co swing into The Kitchen @ Helwig for some tasty eats.

    Came here for lunch and stayed for the wine. Both were magnificent! Who would've known that this little take-out kitchen could create such delicious food? I ordered the Reuben for $16. It came with House smoked pastrami, swiss cheese and Reuben Dressing on marbled rye, served with pickle spears and seasoned tries. The smoked pastrami came in thick chunks and it was perhaps the best Reuben I've ever had! It was so filling that I could only eat half of the sandwich. The fries were nicely seasoned and it went well with the aioli dipping sauce. Hubby got The Dave burger. It came with a 6 oz burger, bacon onion jam. lettuce tomato. smoked gouda cheese. roasted garlic mayo on a grilled bun. Served with seasoned fries. He said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had! Service was friendly and efficient. Basically you order inside and take a seat outside on their gorgeous patio that overlooks the beautiful vineyards. Our food was ready within 10-15 min. We weren't planning on trying their wine but since their food was so good, we went into their winery and did a tasting flight. We ended up buying a bottle of their Petite Sirah. I would highly recommend this place for the food and the wine!

    What do you do when you forget to plan for lunch when you go into a more remote wine country region through the back door? You pull up Yelp and start searching for places before your hangry wife loses it (especially since she is the driver). She was really hungry so she waited in the car until I found out if they were still serving food. It's a large place so it took a bit to find the restaurant when we eventually found each other. I think we were there on a Monday late in the season so there weren't many people around and of course the covid is putting a crimp in wine country visits too. But we ordered from the hostess station and went and found our seat. Great views. A little warm with direct sun but it was away from most everyone else which made me feel better. The food came out pretty quickly and was good. I loved my tomato soup with some grilled cheese sticks. My wife got the tri tip mac and cheese and it was awesome. It tided us over for the rest of our day and journey home. I look forward to returning and having a real wine country experience with a tasting and everything. But I at least know the food is good enough to make it a destination for both!

    After our tasting next door, we grabbed lunch from here. You order inside, get a buzzer, find a seat outside (first come basis), and then go pick up your food. I got the burger and fries and it was filling and did the job! Juicy and delicious- just wish the fries were crispy!

    Chicken pozole. Soup is good but not worth the $12 for such a tiny portion.

    Chicken pozole. Soup is good but not worth the $12 for such a tiny portion. Talked to the manager who's said " we don't want to fill it so the lid won't fit" and " we'll it is just a "cup size ". . Had a great cellar tasing, bought 2 cases of wine, but this just kinda ruined the overall visit.

    Caesar salad with crispy chicken. All breading taken off.

I've never had a bad meal or experience here. The service is noteworthy as well, you feel welcomed by the friendly staff, and no is usually not answer you hear here. We'll be back for many more visit! Do note that when you make a reservation, that you'll be sitting in the dining room with a couple of prefix menu options. Whereas sitting at the bar without a reservation is the way to go if you like to order from the smaller bar menu and still have the flexibility to order from the full menu.

    What an incredible first visit to Taste in Plymouth!…read more The restaurant itself is cozy, beautiful, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our server, Bessie, was absolutely amazing, kind, funny, and so helpful in answering all of our questions during our first visit. Now, onto the food! The appetizers alone could have been a meal. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had, and as a girlie who doesn't usually love soup, I have to say the corn soup my husband ordered was delicious bursting with flavor and perfectly creamy. My husband chose the burger with truffle fries, and they absolutely nailed it. The bacon jam, arugula, goat cheese aioli... every bite was incredible, and the fries were amazing. I had the steak with scalloped potatoes and carrots, and as someone who typically likes her meat well done, I can honestly say this steak was excellent. Dessert was mouthwatering and packed with flavor. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of food and exceptional service we received. We visited on Saturday, the day before Father's Day and two days before my birthday. Not only did they personalize my dessert with a birthday message, but they also surprised me with a birthday card signed by the team. Then, just five days later, a handwritten thank-you card and birthday wishes arrived at my home. That is the kind of service that leaves a lasting impression. Thank you, Taste, for such a memorable first experience. We will absolutely be back!

Newish owners. Seem like nice enough folks... Perhaps not IDEAL restauranteurs. That may sound a bit harsh, but I can't stress enough to you that we really did go there with the highest intention of loving it as we always did. We loved that place and the people and, good god, we did love the food. From the gate there was 1 obvious new change that caused us to immediately have to re-think our plans... No bottomless mimosas ! Nothing like that of any kind! They sold their liqour license! So... okay. We'll have sodas, just this once , and try to keep an open positive mind and attitude. New people, old menu, newbie staff, try to be patient, and all that stuff, you know... considered. We got seated quickly enough. and then we saw the menu. They had made up a story about how the diner got it's nickname "The Dead Fly Diner". How would I know? My father coined that phrase during a county fair week when they were expanding the dining area and they had to keep it open and the flys, they did come a buzzin'. But they made up a whole other story of how that came to be. * Flash to Lloyd Bentsen "Senator, I knew the Dead Fly Diner. The Dead Fly Diner was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Dead Fly Diner". So we bravely ordered our old favorites off the lying menu and were alarmed at the prices as they had nearly doubled since Covid!... but no matter. This was now a fact-finding mission: Was the food quality and quantity maintained? Their signature burger, "The Dead Fly" was now offered more or less stripped of its usual accoutrements which could be added for a fee so add cheese (3 slices) , ham slices (3), and ortega chile (1 big guy), and a diet cola. I thought the bill may have begun to approach house payment status, but soldiered forward. Some time later... ("some" time? OH yeah... 42 minutes or so, and it wasn't even busy) The food arrived and the ice had melted in my cola and turned to water which was the only water available, as no one checked us for need of refills. Ever. But nevermind about that. The biggest kick in the cahones was that they charged for the burger toppins and did NOT include them on a plate at all... and they never did. Oh, I waited for the waitress to ask the usual "how is everything, fellas'?", but did she ever set sail for our part of the seating area? I will just... let you guess. So I was on the hook for a nearly $50 buck (Burger + non-existant extras+ cola + 20% tip) lunch that was, from beginning to end, a raging disappointment. Remember, We WANTED to love it, and we really did wish the new owners the best of luck. However, It will be some time before we brave going back. ("Some time?" OH yeah).

They kept them coming once we asked, and they were delicious every time. But we had to keep asking, and at one point, we almost gave up. That said, the service was pretty underwhelming, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy. We waited close to 20 minutes before getting our first drinks, even water. We had noted a special occasion on our reservation, but there wasn't really anything that made it feel acknowledged or special. We shared the skillet, and unfortunately it was extremely soggy. We literally poured liquid out of it multiple times. On the flip side, the lemon poppyseed waffle was a solid 10/10 and definitely the standout food item for us. I'm giving 3 stars because there's clearly potential here. The drinks were great, the waffle was amazing, and I do think this place could easily be a 5-star experience with more attentive service and a little more consistency in the kitchen. We'll definitely give it another try.

I was excited to try this place as I was in town for a wedding and it had good reviews. It has potential but unfortunately today was a let down. My vegan friend had gone the night before and enjoyed her peanut noodle bowl with tofu! So that's good apparently) So we had high hopes but when we went today before 10am they were out of black beans for the one vegan option for my friend and didn't offer to make it without or anything it was painful to watch and to eat in front of her. Lattes looked good. My boyfriend is not picky but said the house coffee was average and got the All Sutter Creek- bacon eggs and toast and it just looked sad. Bacon was burnt, wheat toast was small and looked like cheap wonderbread. Eggs were fine but nothing better then we have at home he said. I got the Handford Benedict and it looked good but tasted strange. I didn't like the hollandaise sauce, it was tangy. Eggs were cooked well and potatoes were good, but overall with prosciutt ( meh), steamed unseasoned spinach and goat cheese made it too tangy. Hot sauce made it edible. French toast looked yummy with a nice amount of fruit on top and my friend seemed to enjoy it. I don't think I'd come back since the food is so unpredictable. A few things to fix - the bench seat wobbled whenever anyone moved at the other end, and the hot sauce wooden cap needs to be glued on! - it keep turning and comes off and gets glue in peoples food and looks gross underneath. I hope this helps you guys improve.
