    The service and the staff were outstanding. Tamas checked us in Friday 11/9/25. He was very nice, friendly, informative and pretty funny. Our experience at the Tasting Room was fun and our sommelier, Briget, was knowledgeable and friendly. She even bantered back and forth with us. (We're a fun group) Megan served us dinner the first night and breakfast our last morning. She was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Daniel served us dinner on our 2nd night. He was great. He was very observant filling out glasses, taking our dishes when were finished, and always checking on us.

    The food was disappointing. At dinner the 1st night the Chicken Fried Steak was overcooked and óver-breaded and the Fettuccini Alfredo was was bland the sauce was thin and disappointing. I split the burger with my friend and noticed the next night that there was a $6 charge for split meals. The Parker was good but not worth the $6 charge.

    Saturday night we ate on the porch at the 290 restaurant. My husband ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. It was on 2 slices of Ciabatta bread w/ hard crusts. I ordered Cesar Salad. Once I cut up the 2 small "heads" of Romain lettuce, mixed in the Parm & Cherry tomatoes and the chicke, it was pretty good

    For breakfast we, once again are at the 290 Grill. Our order came ( over 30 minutes, minus) 1 (mine). My husband's egg over medium in the biscuit was over cooked, cold and hard. When I finally got my meal it was fine, just late.

    Our accomodations were very comfortable although in our town home, the bottom sheet was too short for the bed

    Come for the beer! If you know beer and find yourself in the Texas wine country, pop in here for some great beer. Their brewer definitely knows his stuff. Enjoy my friends!

    Enjoyed Judy who was the bartender. Chris was a sweet waiter and the service was very good. Even the hostess was sweet. However, the Christmas Eve dinner was not worth the price charged. It was our first time there and it was a bit disappointing given it was our Christmas eve dinner. Loved the winery, the staff, the resort and the wine, but the food, not so much! If you could upgrade the food this place would be perfect!

    The food was good (burger and fries were amazing, brussel sprouts interesting)…. The live music was out of this world! The two girls are amazing! The bartender lady was absolutely wonderful.
    What’s a little off putting is the decor. It does not fit the mood of a brewery or a place with live music.. some light dimming, or lowering the scale of the ceilings a bit (e.g. ceiling clouds, or light pendants that came down to the bar) would come a long way.
    We drove here when it was dark and rainy, and the turns were really sharp and hard to spot.

    Great spot with a brewery and wine tasting room facing an open seating area with grass and a stage for bands. Family friendly. Didn't get any food but the beer and wine were excellent

    Stopped in for a Sunday lunch. Nice location. A bit hidden off the beaten path. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. We had the flight ( qty 4- 4 ounces) for $10. HIGHLY recommend!
