I went for something small in between wine tastings. We ordered two appetizers. The portions are big. Both were fantastic. The bread is so good, super fresh. The service was excellent. It’s a beautiful property.

This was our lunch stop on a self-made wine tour. I found it online and was impressed with the reviews so we thought we’d give it a try. Each dish both looked and tasted incredible. They were thoughtfully put together with an excellent mix of flavors and textures. The tostadas were my personal favorite and despite wanting to eat a million of them one to two were perfect with a few other dishes to try. The space itself was a huge airy environment with plenty of tables and earthy decor. While we came on a Thursday and found it to be quite empty, I can see how lively the spot would be over the weekend. I would love to come back and try more dishes and enjoy another spritz. Thank you so much for an excellent experience.

Second time dining here over a period of 5 years. We really enjoy the cuisine of Javier Plascencia and the atmosphere, variety, and flavors here are fantastic. It’s all about quality ingredients and an attention to detail. This time we tried a huge variety of items and everyone enjoyed their meals and left satisfied. Especially of note were the chocolata clams, the shrimp sopes with bone marrow, the oysters, the tuna tostada, the ribeye, and the quail. Would definitely return and recommend without hesitation. Pricing is reasonable and service is attentive. Good wine list as well.

For about $300 pesos, I got a spoonful of noodles spread on a pan with some vegetables. My wife ordered Mushroom Risotto, and at one point we thought we had COVID19, because we couldn’t taste any of our dishes. The atmosphere was good, but the food and the price were terrible. We left the restaurant hungry and upset.

Wonderful service and wonderful food! It was well worth the visit. I’ve wanted to eat here for years and was able to finally dine here for a late lunch.
We came here with our awesome tour company, Baja Wine & Dine, so the dishes were all selected in advance. Every dish was delicious. So many good vegetarian options too but my favorite was the moist tender chicken with roasted potatoes and the crispy skin stuckling pig.
I’ve read a few reviewers complain about the dogs roaming around. The dogs do not bother or beg from the diners. They walked around the tables and never went under them. There were about 4-5 when we were there and they were all respectfully friendly.
I was surprised at first to see dogs there but soon got used to them. The diners are discouraged to feed them.

Great restaurant with an amazing atmosphere.
Hostess up front was very kind and spoke good English.
Our server didn’t speak any English, but we got by, and he sent over another server with good English in between to make sure everything is OK.
Some main dishes were not available, which reduced our options (vegetarian) [-0.5 stars]
The food was good (but nothing out of this world) and the wait was decent.
Yes, there are dogs, we all know now.
No, there isn’t dog hair everywhere and no, the dogs actually don’t beg for food.
They stare at you for a second and then move on.
But some servers do pet the dogs in between and then touch glasses and plates, that part wasn’t the greatest to see [-0.5 stars].
Walking around the property afterward was super charming.

Very over price for very ok food. Super salty octopus and it looks completely different to the photos on Google. Fried oysters are very average.

Can’t say enough about this place. On arrival there are fire pits and the decor is cozy and amazing. The lamps are made of sticks and woven materials to look like nests.
The service was impeccable, our waiter spoke great English and helped make suggestions.
We loved the Brussel sprouts, seared tuna, sourdough bread and kale salad.
The mushroom risotto was a great main. Wonderful and rich.
By the time dessert came around we ordered one of each. The cornbread was surprisingly amazing and the churros were my favorite.

Very loud environment, particularly on the weekends. Lots of “cowgirl tourists” showing their specially acquired “Valley” boots.
Food ok, much better available elsewhere in the area. Fish and meat quite expensive, Margaritas had an odd herby color added to it, had to ask for a classic one to be served one without the pink.
Will not recommend, unless you want to have a Disney-type experience

Someone else mentioned this, but I also needed to point it out. There are a ton of dogs roaming in the restaurant while you are eating, the waiters and servers are also petting them in between serving food! This is not an appropriate setting and I don’t know how the owners of the establishment permit this. (I am from Mexico and even restaurants in the hood do not allow dogs to annoy patrons)
But aside from that, the food to price value was not there for this region. You are paying top dollar for mediocre taste.
However, the drinks are definitely some of the best I’ve had in a while! I’d definitely recommend the specialty cocktails they serve. Also enjoy the view from the oversized wine barrel that has stairs leading to the top of it.
