"I chose Villaggio del Vino because I wanted to treat my daughter to a fine dining experience, for her 18th birthday, and I was HIGHLY disappointed. From the beginning, I could feel the sense of being unwelcomed even though we were dressed very appropriately and had a reservation that was made online. They were out of…well a lot of things and it was 7 PM on a Saturday night. Just to name a few things…the bruschetta, ribeye, the Bordeaux blend wine on their menu, and a few other items. When I asked the waitress, who never announced herself or her trainee until I asked 30 mins into service, why they were out of so many things, she stated it was because they were “short staffed”…ummm…that was an odd answer to why they didn’t have things that were advertised on their menu, but ok. I also indicated that it was a birthday when I made the reservation thinking that they would do something special for it. I didn’t want anything over the top, but at least some kind of acknowledgment. There was none; even though there was a larger group that was presented a cake of some sort with a candle. That frustrated me because this was supposed to be a special occasion for a young lady entering adulthood. The food was decent and came out within a reasonable time, but certainly not fine dining. Ambiance was on par, but there seemed to be (what felt like to me) some preferential treatment to other patrons (I am African American, so let that stick in your mind). When I asked for the desert menu and reiterated to our server that it was a birthday, we were told that the crème brûlée and tiramisu were “on the house”. When the bill came, we were charged for it. I asked why it was on the bill, and she stated that they were “made in house, and not on the house”. Visibly irritated, I asked my daughter to wait for me in the car while I asked to speak to the manager. I expressed my frustrations to the manager who offered an apology, comped our meal, and gave us a gift certificate. Not a good look!"

"This was our first time here and came for brunch at 11am on a Sunday. The food got mixed reviews from our group. The brunch brisket tacos were really good, but no one cared for the skillet potatoes that came with the brunch entrees. They are steamed so don’t expect them to be crispy. They tasted ok, I just didn’t like the texture. The eggs Benedict was average. It tasted good but nothing special. The hollandaise was a little thin and just ok. A few items were exceptional like the hamburgers and appetizers. The burgers were cooked perfectly (for us-they didn’t ask how we wanted them cooked but came out a perfect medium). We ordered the regular cheeseburger and they coyote burger. Also, the fried green beans were the best I’ve ever had. One fun (and delicious) thing we ordered was the King Ranch **** Mary. It comes topped with a bacon wrapped shrimp, a tamale, a brisket stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon and green olives. (See photo) The bacon wrapped jalapeños are called Texas Twinkies and you can order one on the side of your dish or as a 2 or 4 count appetizer. I highly recommend. The only disappointing thing I ordered was the sautéed spinach side. I usually love sautéed spinach but this one had a weird taste. Perhaps the oil they used came from the fryer or something- but I had others taste them and they agreed it was off-putting. I will definitely come back and order one of their specialties like the smoked venison meatloaf. The décor is interesting and the service was excellent."
