The food, service and ambience were all exceptional. Staff were courteous and knowledgeable. They described in detail the flavors of the selected wines and advised on cocktails. They were attentive but not overbearing. Our table of five first ordered the fresh garden leaves and herbs salad, Digby scallops, and the fresh East coast oysters. Before they arrived we were served thin slices of sourdough bread toasted and brushed with olive oil and accompanied by a soy hummus, garlic chive butter and oil and vinegar dip. All delicious. The salad was from the vineyard’s own garden and so so fresh. The dressing was light but flavourful. The scallops were cooked to perfection and delicately flavored. The oysters were very chilled and fresh. We then ordered the duck, pickerel, and the beef tenderloin. Prior to being served our main courses we were given an amuse bouche from the chef, which was very inventive, light, and flavourful, and this was directly followed by a homemade peach sorbet to cleanse our palates. All entree choices were cooked perfectly for us (the tenderloins exactly as requested), and seasoned to perfection. The flavors were subtle and accompanied by tastes of lovely fresh vegetables and innovative sides. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and flavourful meal. Congratulations to the chef, Kris Simmons! All of us have dined at many upscale restaurants over the years and this matched and surpassed many of those. This restaurant is a hidden gem and we wish only that people near and far knew about it. Unfortunately, there has been little marketing and limited advertising. There is no indication at the entrance to the winery that there is a restaurant inside. The building and grounds are impressive, and it offers a patio overlooking the vineyard for outdoor dining should the weather cooperate. The winery and restaurant are located only a couple of minutes from downtown Grand Bend and directly next door to the Huron Country Playhouse.
