I wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, it was a hot day, (A Monday afternoon) and the few ceiling fans were not doing a great job of cooling the restaurant. I had the strawberry chicken salad which was delicious, and a glass of sparkling wine that wasn’t very good. The view was somewhat blocked by the wall. The seats were uncomfortable, no cushions. The service was excellent.

Had lunch there and the views and seating are so beautiful. We were seated immediately and the staff was so friendly and attentive. The food was just average though. Who doesn’t get a charcuterie board with wine? Good variety of meats and cheeses. Hummus was good too. For entrees, the duck leg was dry, the pesto pasta was a bit oily. The presentation of oven roasted chicken made me wish I ordered it although once we tasted it, it was kinda dry. If you do decide to order it, it’s a big portion so consider sharing it.
It’s a great place to have lunch though when wine tasting just for the views.

I ordered a seafood pasta, which I paired with a crisp white wine. The combination was absolutely delicious! The pasta was perfectly cooked, with a rich, flavorful sauce that perfectly complemented the fresh seafood. The wine was a delightful accompaniment, enhancing the overall experience. Adding to the enjoyment was the breathtaking view, which made the entire dining experience truly memorable. It was a truly satisfying meal that I would highly recommend.

Beautiful views of the vineyard while you dine! We came here with friends and made an early reservation. We were seating right away and the service was quick and the server was very friendly. The food was cooked perfectly; however, you definitely need salt. I ended up trying both types of lamb and each were prepared so differently.

I came here for my Father’s Day celebration and by this place meets my expectations in scenery, style, and atmosphere. The customer service was very well pleasing and the appetizers were amazing… The crab cakes were awesome and a must have! The plate I had an acquired taste to it so I’ll have to try a different dish the next time I go to redeem myself. Other than that the vineyard scenery, the entire place overall is a great spot for a date, get together, business, etc. Great job Meritage!

I don’t take pleasure in writing a bad review for Callaway, as we’re locals that used to like it. However, I think it’s necessary so they can hopefully do better. Despite the recent mixed reviews, we decided to take a chance based on our past experience dining there.
End result: The food *looks* good, but the flavor doesn’t match up to the taste. Bland recipes with bad execution, unfortunately. If you just want a view and a glass of wine, it’s great.
We asked for an available window table. The hostess told us we couldn’t have a window seat because our party of 4 needed to be at least 5 for that table. However, throughout the whole meal, nobody with a party of 5 came and that seat remained empty the whole lunch hour (See empty seating photo.)
I ordered a light flatbread as a starter, to test how the food would be. Boy am I glad I got something small. It looked great, but it was seriously the worst flat bread I’ve ever had! It was as tough as cardboard. I shared a bite with the table and everyone was in disbelief that it was let out of the kitchen. No exaggeration – it was inedible and tough! I had to saw through it with my knife. To their credit, they acknowledged it was bad, took it back and off the bill.
My mother ordered the muscles with broth. Even though it looked bright, like it would have flavor, it was very bland with hardly any taste.
My father ordered the short ribs with mash. There was so much mash with short ribs that simply tasted like pot roast. Not much flavor at all. Wouldn’t you think a short rib dish at a winery would have a nice flavor of… wine? It was blah, average at best.
The waiter took the cost of the flat bread and asked if I’d like to order something else. Frankly, when you mess up something so simple, I don’t have confidence you can get more complex dishes right. We left our dishes unfinished, didn’t order wine as we usually would and left. That was an expensive meal for less than fast food satisfaction.
It still has a great view, so if you come by for a glass of wine on the patio, you should be fine. To Callaway management – Please do better. We miss how it used to be.

Pleasantly surprised! Made reservations around sunset and it was worth it!! Food was cooked well and presentation was on point. Money worth spent and wasn’t too crazy expensive. Service was excellent and attentive in the right way. It wasn’t crowded so probably why it everything was on point. The Lamb Shank was buttery and fall-off-the-bone good. Duck was well-cooked and not over done. Dessert was a great way to end too. Not overly sweet and good composition. Hope it’s like this the next time we visit!

We went for a wine tasting and tour and decided to have lunch at their restaurant since the staff member, Dave — who provided the wine tour — recommended it. Unfortunately, the host was very rude and didn’t even say hello or goodbye, especially surprising given that the restaurant wasn’t busy for a Saturday lunch. The waitress and other staff were friendly, but the hostess needs some customer service training. Overall, the food was great, but the service was subpar.

I definitely enjoyed the tapas and small bites they had. We had the tacos and the salad. Both were well done.
I liked the kick of the spices on the tacos. I believe it is a fairly good restaurant considering it is based inside the winery.
