"While I appreciated the flexibility with our reservation since we we were about a half hour late, our experience with the outdoor server was cold and odd. She came off very strong about not letting us taste before we bought it because we can 't make it like a tasting outside , which this policy was not explained and makes no sense since we were the only ones there. I would maybe understand if they were extremely busy. A quick educational run through should be able to happen outside or inside. She tried to overcome this by saying shes working there a very long time and is good at making recommendations coming off as cocky. That does not replace you personally having a taste before purchasing multiple entire bottles. Made for a very unpleasant experience. On top of that, service could have been better. Instead of having customers going up to the her at the outside bar, she could have walked around and asked if anything is needed or offer us our next bottle. Manager Kymberly was extremely helpful and did ask us how we were doing. Also, carafes of ice water should be brought to tables, for pure safety (hot weather and to avoid overserving alcohol especially since they make you reach a minimum). We had to go in and ask for water and they only had bottle water for purchase that they didn 't allow to go towards our minimum. Overall the wine was subpar and overpriced, to the point where we instructed them to charge us the minimum but we did not want to buy any more bottles to take home. Even with the wine being subpar, people come for the experience, and there was minimal service. We also would have liked music outdoors. I get starting the day quiet to hear nature, but once things started to pick up, I don 't want to hear everyone 's conversations around me and music would help offset that. The only reason I 'd come back is because of Kymberly."
