Featured an Easter Sunday menu special, of which I exquisitely enjoyed on my Easter Sunday the New Zealand lamb chops, amongst other regular menu items. Alongside their regular menu items, the other two specials were the lobster risotto and a pot de creme dessert. All courses were outstanding, well seasoned, cooked to perfection and perfectly or beautifully presented. The Restaurant at District Winery features large shareable and small plates alongside their wide varietal house made wines. Varied beers as well as creative cocktails are also on the dinner menu. Beautiful views in the bar, dining room and waterfront patio.

The bar and dining areas are relaxing, open airy and comfortable, many options for patrons on where to sit and enjoy, both the scenery, ambiance, and dining enjoyment. Compliments to all the chefs and staff, the chef's dishes from the menu were excellent, most enjoyable and very well presented. Service was well-timed and all the staff friendly and cheerful. While on a Sunday evening, not overly busy and noise level very low.

This is my go to happy hour spot, I decided to try for brunch and wasn’t disappointed at all! I had the Spanish eggs and my friend got the chefs selection omelette. I definitely will come to visit on the weekend besides week days!

The risotto was hard and watery. The gnocchi with the beef ragu was so soft it was almost like mashed potatoes. Portions were small, especially for some of the appetizers. The wine was good. Our server was wonderful. But, the food was such a disappointment and pricey. Don't expect to go back.

Our server Ami was wonderful and the place is a very cool building, nice ambiance. The location was very cool, although loud with the helicopters coming and going constantly. The food was not that great and overpriced for the quality.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience with us. I have let Ami know how much you enjoyed her service! If you would be willing to provide some further details regarding what dishes you had and any feedback, we would greatly appreciate it. Cheers!

District Winery does not disappoint for those either wanting to enjoy its specialty wines at its tasting bar or those afternoon and evening diners looking for a wonderful varied warm open atmosphere in the restaurant and bar area to enjoy varied cuisine, wines, cocktails and varied cheer. Portions are generous and very well presented, as well as staff are overall attentive and smiling. Great for singles just enjoying an evening out or for larger groups or families celebrating either something special or an event. There is always something for individuals to enjoy at District Winery!
