   artichoke dip hd absolutely no flavor. their steak plate looked like a kids meal. server brought us our brussel sprout appetizer without bringing us utensils. service was awful. ambiance felt like a moose lodge, not a winery.

   This is a pub type atmosphere We ordered the hamburger because it was recommended to us The only problem is that they precook the patties and try to reheat them So its lukewarm at best We sent it back to have the same cold burger Sadly the flavours would be great if they actually cooked to order I used to cook in restaurants for a living

   Mt Palomar winery went above & beyond to make everything smooth and easy for my birthday party of 40 people. they reserved the tables I needed at the time I needed it and the service was excellent. They had two servers helping us the whole time , we never had to flag anybody down. The music was very good. The food is very good. The ambience is very good. I would definitely recommend having a party there for birthdays or anniversaries or anything else and it’s very kid friendly and we were able to have our little ones run around and play near the tables with no problems whatsoever. . I love their live bands on the weekends. And I would definitely have another party there again. Thank you, Stephanie for making it so easy yesterday I never stressed over anything !!!! I really appreciate it !!! 😊👍🏻 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎊

   Thursday night DJ music Bachata lessons at 6:30. Arrived at 5:30 to drink some Sangiovese and fried calamari. Chilly, breezy, and perfect outdoor venue for dancing the night on the patio. People brought their own partners so no one is picking up anyone here, not like the three other wineries or olde towne. Friendly crowd nevertheless and everyone in good spirits and danced. My two glasses 35$ plus tip. Calamari 23$ plus tip. Overall nice night to catch up with friends. Plenty of room for big groups.

   Sadly, good took really long to come out. We also found a hair not once but twice in our appetizers. We ordered salmon and pork and 15 minutes later they come tell us that they dont have any. It was one issue after another but our server Eric was amazing! He did his best to please us even after all the issues. He even attended us while we moved out to bar area to listen to the band. Once we were outside, music was great, premises is beautiful and relaxing.

   The service was awful. There was hardly anyone at the restaurant & we had to get up and go to the bar on 4 different occasions to get service (20 mins for 1st drink order, 2nd drink order never arrived, dinner came with no steak knife, & then 20 mins to get the check). The food was not great either. I was far from impressed. The ambiance was the only thing I’d give points toward. I would not go back for food again, maybe just the live music.

    Really disappointed with our last experience. It all clearly stems from poor management. They didn’t staff appropriately and didn’t support the team that was struggling. We’ve also seen it busier than it was, they only had 3 active tables during this time. They had no server for the tables, and we waited an hour until we got the attention of the bartender to come take our order. Then we waited 45 minutes until we asked for a manager to find our food. It was clear it was sitting under the heat lamp for an extended amount of time because the buns had dried out and the fries were dead. The manager was too embarrassed to deliver the food himself and we witnessed him call the bartender over to deliver the food instead him taking ownership of the situation. The manager never came back to acknowledge the situation and avoided eye contact when we left. They comped part of the meal, which seemed reasonable and we still tipped. It wasn’t the staff’s fault when the manager was just there to watch it all fall apart.
