Round Pond Estate 5 Course Paired Wine Dinner
$150.00 - $165.00 per person
Jan 30, 2025 only
Join us in welcoming Scott Reed of Round Pond Estate, Rutherford, Napa Valley, for a fantastic 5 course paired dinner composed by Chef Mathis and his team! 6pm, Limited Seating. Only six square miles, Rutherford is home to some of the most storied wineries in the United States. It has proven ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as premium Italian and Spanish olives. Using a small selection of extraordinary grapes from their vineyard’s 362 planted acres, Round Pond has established an acclaimed estate wine program focusing on world-class Cabernet Sauvignon produced in limited quantities. They also grow several varieties of olives for the production of premium oils, made on site at their state of the art mill.

Very creative appetizers and entrees by Chef Stitt! Amazing Mahi Mahi dish tonight! Never tasted the combination of orange with tomato with black olive in a lightly salted peppery sauce to die for. Wonderful compliment to the tender fish. Also the “Devils on Horseback” bacon wrapped prunes are crazy delish. The staff is also super cool and genuinely interested in how their diners enjoy their meals. Nice work! Can’t wait to return to try more items.

The food was way too expensive for what it was. Also nobody helped with wine pairings, our waitress seemed unhappy to be working, drinks took way too long and food came out when we weren't even done with our appetizers. The cost was like Capital Grille with Outback food. The decor is very outdated. Will never return.

Katie we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience. We are surprised to hear the impression you had of your server - she is generally very pleasant, efficient, and friendly. She apologizes, by the way, for not being more specific with her red wine recommendations. We will address your legitimate concerns regarding timing - you shouldn't have to wait too long for drinks, and should have plenty of time to enjoy your appetizers before entrees come. Thanks for your constructive feedback.

Creative, inventive cuisine in a cool, inviting setting. Intimate and friendly spot with a great wine selection. Executive Chef Mathis changes his menu weekly while his Mom and Dad run the back of the house and manage the wine list with experienced wine veteran Chris Hoskins. The drive to Chesterfield is worth it.

Pears and Brussels sprouts, fried ribs are outstanding. Never had a bad meal here. Takes a while to get drinks and put in order but doesn’t take away from how great the food is!
