    I was shocked to find out they make their own wine right on the spot and you can view it through the windows behind me.

    Attended a networking event here. This was my first time here, but will not be my last. The food, the wine, and the staff were all great.

    I came here for a birthday celebration for a friend on a Saturday evening. She held her party in the private room. But there appeared to be ample seating inside and on the patio. They had just started the live music for the night. Playing lively old school hits for the grown & sexy, lol. Service- I think our server, Jasmine, was overwhelmed by the large group. She started out attentive with a smile, and then the smile faded by the end. It may have been too much. I expected service to be slow with a big party, but it was disjointed. Half of the guests had finished their meals by the time the other half had just gotten theirs to take a first bite. She didn't have any help, and it was a lot of food and drinks, so I get it. This likely was out of Jasmines hands. We just had to ask multiple times for a lot of things. Drinks - I had a glass of the "Sparking Almond" for $13. I liked it. But I wish I had just done the wine tasting so I could try a bit of everything. I bought a glass of "Fight like a Girl" for $12, there pink Moscato for the birthday girl. She liked it. So I decided to buy her a bottle of "Fight like a Girl" as a bday gift, for my friend as well for $40. And to support this Black Owned business. It's cool because some of the proceeds go towards breast cancer. Great cause to drink! Food - I ordered the mushroom risotto appitizer. I liked that they had an appetizer portion of this as well as an entree to give a chance to sample it instead of making it a whole meal. I also ordered the cheese flat bread. Both were ok. I wanted it to be delicious. The risotta, while cooked properly, did not have the depth of richness needed to pull off the creamy unami expectation of a risotta. But risotto is hard to pull off in general, so I understand. The cheese flat bread looked different than previous reviews on here. The bread itself almost seemed like a cauliflower or gluten-free like crust. Vibes - The live band began to play Louisiana style music and entered the private room, and we really had a good time. I love supporting black owned businesses. Our server said the owners would come say hello, but they didn't arrive. The live music is nice to enjoy while eating, and I am guessing the $5.00 band fee we were charged, covers the band cost, which makes sense. Overall, the place has good vibes! So I would actually give this another chance if in the area. I hope service is great in their regular dining section as opposed to their private party room. Some of the guests said they had been here for brunch, and it was good.

    The place is still empty at 7....sure am glad we couldn't eat and drink because of 7pm reservations.

    Okay....so it's 5:40pm and my husband is taking me out to dinner for my birthday. I tell him I would like to try a new place for us...how about Waters Edge Winery & Bistro. We enter and notice the place is almost empty. I counted at least 11 open tables. We were asked if we had a reservation. Uh oh, um no, there's no signage saying a reservation is required online or on the establishment. The host tells us "well you'll need a reservation because we have live music." We look and signal to the room filled with empty tables. He said, these two tables have a 7pm reservation but you should be fine. We basically we would have to rush my birthday time to get out by 7....no thanks. The ambiance is lackluster, too. Looks more like a deli set-up. Overall really disappointing...but oh well, there are plenty of other places to go.

    Love music great food great wine and friendly staff. Vibrant atmosphere it does get loud so keep that in mind if your trying to have a quiet discussion. We did a round of the Crimson Flight great choices offereqd to us during out visit. Kitchen does close at 11 I'll believe. We've been here 2 or 3 times in the last month or two and so far it's been a positive experience. If you looking for wine tasting spot check these one out even if just for a little bit.

    Finally made it to Waters Edge for brunch! Good amount of free parking. Its located in Richmond, TX. Nice ambiance with good music playing. It is a BOB. Everything was awesome EXCEPT my food. But I tasted everyone else's food and it was sooo good. Customer service was pretty okay. We were checked on quite a bit. I had the shrimp and grits. It was very plain-jane and not really any flavor but I didn't have enough energy to send it back. However, the fish and grits were very good. That fish was cooked perfectly. The soul food plate was very very good...oxtails, greens, rice, yams. Big Portions! They also had the option of fried chicken that looked amazing. Overall, good experience. I will have to come back and try something different. PS..they do have live music on certain days.. check the website. Thanks for the recommendation Kenyatta Brooks !!

    Shrimp & Grits
    Rebecca D.

    Went for Sunday brunch with my family. The brunch menu should be changed. I order the shrimp and grits but it didn't have any shrimp or sausage. You can see in the picture it's more grits with a gravy. The flavor was ok but for $18 dollars I expected more. If you go for brunch I would say order from the A La carte menu. I opted for a 3 wine tasting with wines I selected. I liked the pour and the selections of wines to choose from. My waitress started attentive but as the time continued she seemed to disappear. It became harder to order to get her attention to fix a mistake. I would try this place again for dinner or just wine.

    Was so excited to try this bistro and was slightly disappointed. I came on a Thursday night for the DJ and it was not what I expected. I was looking to grab a seat at the bar but there was no seating at the bar. Just a bar, looking lovely. This building is a beautiful building and has so much potential. Upon arrival a sign greeted me advising me to seat myself. So I grabbed the first table as it was just me. It took 20 minutes for someone to come bring me water all for her to say, she'll be right back. She arrives 10 minutes later to take my order. The menu is limited, very limited. Parking is plenty as it's in a shopping center. The DJ was amazing! I'll return and give it another try.

    This place is absolutely amazing!! I love the service and wine selectionMy only complaint was they were out of my fav almond sparkling wine. I joined the wine club and hoping to get my fav bottles. The music and service is also amazing. Jordan is very polite and professional and attentive to the guest! Love it here!!

    Kimberly A.

    The food is good just a bit on the salty part. Some wines are normally out of stock which is fine just limited on what you want to try. We enjoyed ourselves overall. The live jazz band was great. Service was great and we were able to pick where we wanted to sit for our date night. Grapes didn't taste too fresh though. And my husband wished he got more fish lol he did like it!

    Jerk chicken tenders! This was my leftovers!!
    Lauren W.

    This place was a total vibe!! The music reaches you as you walk into the establishment. My forever date and I were warmly greeted and seated rather quickly. Now, I must say that when it comes to giving the feedback on the wines, I'm rather selective and particular because I moved here from the Napa/Sonoma wine area. I'm wine bougie, I'll admit!! That said, if you're not particular with wines this could very well be a great place to enjoy. I didn't care for many of the wines that I tasted and I didn't like the renaming of the wines as it made it challenging to truly know what I was drinking (Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Malbec, etc). Some of them were labeled as such in the description but many were not. The food, on the other hand, was great! I enjoyed the tender and juicy Jamaican jerk tenders. They were even delicious the next day when reheated in the microwave. Yum!! Overall, I would definitely return but maybe only have a sparkling wine!! Although, it was slightly on the sweeter side, I did enjoy the sparkling almond wine. Nancy, our server recommended we come back for live music on the weekend evenings and for the Sunday brunch. Thank you for being awesome, Nancy!!

    Im so sorry, I completely forgot to take a picture of the fried catfish it was that good! On God
    Yvette C.

    Yall, this was a super exciting experience! I came here for a candle making event, and in between the workshop ordered from the menu! The fried catfish and fries was unbelievable! Seasoned and fried to perfection its a must try! For dessert I tried the fried cheesecake, omg soooooo delicious when others in my group saw my order they copied and was not disappointed Cameron our server was amazing, he made we were taken care of I will definitely return

    As much as I truly truly wanted to like this place . I hated it. The vibe of this place really doesn't feel like a winery. It feels like a deli . Someplace like a Panera bread or a Mod pizza. But anyway the huge issue is the food. I understand that this is a winery but wow that's food menu needs to be updated to include more food/better options. In addition (whether or not they stipulate this on the website is irrelevant) however just know, if you are going to this place and they just happen to have someone singing or playing an instrument , they will charge you and everyone at your table and on your bill $5 for an entertainment fee. The winery needs to build in entertainment into their budget for the year! If you need help budgeting for these expenses please reach out to someone and ask for help.

    Girls night ! Happy hour! $6 flights! Mini charcuterie, loaded tots and jerk chicken bites. Yum !

    What went well was the ambiance, the live band and the vibe. What didn't go well, the super long wait to get your meal.

It was self seating but the way the rooms are split up, we weren't 100% sure where we were allowed to sit and no one was in the front greeting anyone as they come in so you couldn't really ask questions unless you go to the bar first which was located towards the back. The tables were all dirty so we picked the least dirty table which still had crumbs all over it but we just tried to wipe them away as best as we could. The customers who came in after us picked the table next to us which was dirty as well but their server went and wiped it down for them which was nice. Our server was kind and answered all of our questions and we did inform her it was our first time so she suggested a few appetizers and we started with French Onion Dip. It was TO DIE FOR! The tortilla chips it comes with were perfectly crisped and salted and it hit all the right flavors. The food? Oh my word. The servings are MASSIVE. My husband ordered the Philly cheese steak with a side of onion rings and it did not disappoint! I ordered the chicken Cobb salad with a side of their Brussel sprouts. The chicken Cobb salad came with two small scoops of chicken salad and it was so light and refreshing and nothing like any other chicken salad I've ever had! Our server brought me a little bit of Parmesan cheese to top off the Brussel sprouts with and it was so good. All in all, the food was a hit! I wish I remembered to try the broccoli and cheese soup so we will be back in the future. Definitely recommend. We don't understand how Sandy McGee's only has a 3.7 rating after trying this spot out!

The wait time was as expected for that amount of people to come in. I had the fire roasted salmon and I loved it. It was a great contrast of differing textures and flavors. It was a lot better than I expected. The portion for me was perfect, I was full and satisfied by the end of it. They do an excellent job in trying to accommodate everyone and they made an effort to regularly check in. This place has that woody, western vibe to it.

The ahi tuna wasn't the best. It wasn't fresh and the feta cheese was a bit too overwhelming. As for the spinach and artichoke dip, I felt like it was okay. Didn't really like the tomatoes as it made the dip runny and hinder the taste from the star ingredients of the dish. The smoked gouda burger was the best. The meat was cooked perfectly and the amount for each ingredients were given generously. I also really loved how you really can taste the smokiness from the bite. As for the pasta, I thought that it was good but not the best. It was starting to get a bit heavy with the amount of cheese and I do wish the cajun flavor could be a bit stronger. The chicken was also on the dry side but it's still pretty decent. Overall, this place is okay. Service could've been a bit better since it took a while for us to find someone to help us on our water refill and check.
