    We arrived a little early and there was no good place to stand and wait. Once seated the table was bare except for some rock looking crystals and dried buds for Valentine’s Day. Wife tried to order a pina colada but despite being on the menu they didn’t have a blender. Then she tried to order sangria but they were out. I got the Cadillac margarita, which was small but good and also powerful. We ordered street corn and table side guacamole, both were just okay. For entrees my wife got the carne asada which was incredible and I got the Baja seafood enchiladas which were also very good. Because of how good the entrees were we may come back. Otherwise we wouldn’t.

    Our server was not as attentive as I would have liked. It was Valentines Day and the winery had a special menu. After we were seated at our table, we were given the regular menus. When our server vame to get our drink orders,we had to ask for the special menu. We ordered a bottle of white wine which arrived at room temperature in a metal wine bottle cooler with ice at the bottom. At the end of the meal, our server did apologize for being slow. The owner made her presence known to everybody. She went to each table several times to chat and check on the customers. She made us and everybody feel welcome. The food was delicious! We started with crab stuffed mushrooms. My wife had the seated scallops and I had the New York strip steak. The scallops were seasoned and cooked perfectly, not salty or overcooked. I ordered my steak rare and it, too, was cooked perfectly. For dessert, we had the New Tork cheesecake and the key lime tart. Our overall experience was a fun night and a great way to celebrate Valentines Day.

    The food and service was amazing. I would have liked some bread, and was rather surprised that it wasn't offered. Our waitress was really good and so friendly we felt like we were talking to an old friend. It is pricey, but no more so than any upscale steakhouse.
