We celebrated our anniversary at Mustards Grill and were greeted with a lovely welcome glass of champagne, which set the tone for a wonderful evening. The food was absolutely incredible—starting with the most delicious onion rings, followed by a perfectly cooked crab cake and an ahi sandwich that exceeded all expectations. Our waitress went above and beyond, thoughtfully splitting all of our dishes for us, making it so much easier to enjoy everything. Despite being the 1st of the year, the restaurant was packed, which speaks to its popularity. Initially, we were hesitant to go, but after so many recommendations from winery staff, we decided to try it—and we’re so glad we did. Mustards Grill truly lives up to its reputation, and we can’t wait to return!
