  Worst experience ever. We had a reservation for 10 but 13 showed up and they could not accommodate the other 3 people and they literally had to stand in the middle of the restaurant. The service sucked , it took 15 min to get a drink. It took 45 min for the manager to come over and talk to me after I asked to speak with him. Absolutely will NEVER RETURN. HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!

  Waitress Kim and the hostess we're both very professional and friendly. I would love to say that the food was good but I never tasted it. We ordered drinks and when they arrived we ordered our food. Then the two of us waited for 50 minutes, watched as a table of 8 got their food before us (I hope that them being members had nothing to do with it) and that was the final straw. We left, hungry, angry, and disappointed.
  I can't imagine a scenario where we would come back, or recommend others to go.

  Great selection of wine and beer. Prices are a BIT high. I think 1 vegan option which was hummus. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and we were the only ones there.

  Best wine! The tastings are great and the wine club is such a good deal. All the food and service has been fantastic. It's our new favorite spot!

  I tried to go in here with an optimistic attitude. I wanted to like this place. Unfortunately everything from the food to the beer fell flat for me. There just was nothing that wowed me here or even would make me want to come back. The food was mediocre and the beer just was not doing it for me. Hopefully others have better luck here.

  We've been wine club members for several years which we enjoy. I would not recommend dining at the restaurant. The quality of the menu items has steadily declined, the service is poor (except for Brittany) and the owners seldom say hello to anyone other than a few of their friends. Never once in all the years that my husband and I have dined at the Village Vintner have either of the owners stopped by to say hi. Recently, my husband and I went there for dinner. When we arrived we were told that a table for two would be a 30 minute wait. Not bad for a Friday night except that there were at least two long empty tables. I thought those could have been offered as European style seating, but nope. When we were seated, both tables had groups of two and three seated at these tables!
  Our server was not stellar by any means. when I commented that I used to enjoy an item no longer on the menu she rudely replied, " I've been here since July and I've never seen that on the menu." Ok no small talk with her!
  Dinner was ok. My husband ordered a burger on a pretzel bun. He ended up eating it as an open face because the top bun was so hard it was inedible. The waitress never asked how our food was after we were served. The busboy came by twice to remove my husband's plate before the waitress returned to our table. He showed her how hard the bun was and her answer to my husband was, " why didn't you tell me, I thought you wanted to eat your hamburger that way." She never apologized for the poor quality, rather gave excuses that the bread was fresh just probably sat in the oven a bit too long.
  Needless to say our dining experience was poor. I enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and that will probably be the next time I return.
  If you're there on a Friday, ask for Brittany. Your dinner may not be great but her service is wonderful!

  I had the meat lovers pizza and my wife had the white pizza. Both were great!
  
  Even better their patio allows dogs.

  Nice little spot for wine drinkers but also have some selections of beer they brew themselves and are pretty good. They have amazing grilled cheese sandwiches! And is the only thing I get, everything else I'll pass, they even have a club membership that you have to pay for where you can get points for the money you spend,discounts and take home wine or beer. I would prefer lunch at this place

  Wait staff is very personable. Food is delicious and can be made to order. We have been here multiple times and the staff is always willing to accommodate food allergies as able. Child friendly, but as adults we know there is such a thing as date time. Atmosphere is casual and lively. Food has always been flavorful. Wine and beer alike, are homemade and hold up to any local winery or craft beer establishment. Highly recommended to any person who is a lover of the local flair.
