"TLDR: Don’t book this location for a special occasion later in the evening unless you’re looking for a specific view, and ready to be disappointed by the hit or miss service. They won’t explain the fact you can order drinks by the glass for the same price compared to the fixed dinner menu with tastings, probably because they want to upsell you. Also, don’t expect to receive the kind of service you would typically expect from restaurants at this price point. If anything, expect to have your food taken away if you step out momentarily if it’s late in the evening. Absolutely ridiculous. The food was fresh, portions were more than adequate, wouldn’t say it’s the best I’ve ever had in this calibre but it was fairly good tasting. The overall dining experience from the beginning was welcoming with our hostess at first; this restaurant was booked for our anniversary trip, however, things took a quick turn with our server later on towards the end. Throughout our dining experience, our waiter (the male with a tattoo on his left forearm and potentially a Quebecois or European accent) was checking in on us, refilling our water, and ensuring that we had everything we needed. Later on in the evening, after I finished my dessert on my plate, as my partner briefly stepped away to use the washroom after only eating half of her dessert, the waiter came by with the bill which was completely understandable considering it was 10:30pm and it was getting late. As I pulled out my credit card to pay, without asking me if she was done with her dessert, he literally took my empty plate and stacked it on top of my partner’s half eaten dessert, and proceeded to hand me the POS terminal. I was pretty shocked at first, but I didn’t say anything to him and still left him a generous tip, although in hindsight I probably shouldn’t have, but impacting the other staff over one waiter’s mistake didn’t seem reasonable either. My partner was extremely upset at me afterwards and was wondering where her dessert had gone when she came back. I had to explain what had happened to her half eaten dessert, and that I didn’t have a chance to stop the waiter from essentially rendering her dessert inedible by stacking my plate on top of her’s within two seconds without a single word. I’m very surprised that this restaurant would allow for such unprofessionalism, considering that it’s common courtesy to ask somebody if they’re done with their dish or if they’d like some more time instead of rendering it inedible because you potentially want to go home earlier given the later hours. If you’re wanting to come here because of an anniversary trip or special event, do NOT come here during the later hours of the evening for dinner, unless you want to gamble your experience on a server that will be providing you an unforgettable positive or negative experience. Perhaps it’s getting late and some staff don’t want to stay too late. It’s evident that not every single individual here is poorly trained and lacks basic consideration for others given simple observations left and right, however, why would you want to spend your hard earned money here only for a small, easily avoidable situation to occur and ruin your experience? In the past, when I’ve dined here each year for the last few years and had their food along with the wine and food pairing experiences next door in the summers, the experiences were always fabulous which made me revisit annually. Now, I can only say with this declining experience, that you should ONLY come here if you’re looking for a view, but be sure to have zero expectations in place for the service you’ll be receiving otherwise you’ll face disappointment. Why come here when you can go to other wineries such as Quails Gate or Mission Hill which are close by, offer similar price ranges for equally delicious food and wine pairings, have beautiful views, but do not miss the mark when it comes to providing basic dining consideration to their paying clients? Not impressed at all, I would not recommend this restaurant or winery anymore to anybody I know."
