Restaurants near Fair Oaks Dairy Adventure

My mom and I decided to have an early Christmas Eve dinner at CH Winery. We arrived at 2:30, so we were still able to order off of the lunch menu, which was the perfect portion. Taylor was our server, and she was fantastic (engaging, responsive, knowledgeable, kind). Our food was fine, but not the best meal I’ve had at this location, primarily because of course timing and food temperature. My side of broccoli was cold. It was so good during my thanksgiving meal, I wanted it for Christmas. This time, the broccoli was a disappointment. All of the plates served were tepid, and I prefer my food to at minimum be warm, and optimally hot. There weren’t a ton of patrons, so I’m not sure what the issue was in the kitchen. I’m not one to send my food back, so I did my best to enjoy it. I tried the gluten free s’more bundino today, and I really enjoyed it. It’s huge however. You could split it with 2-3 friends. The burnt lemon sangria was also lovely. It doesn’t taste like a wine based cocktail, it definitely tastes like a spirit based drink. The overall experience was good because of Taylor’s service. Hoping our next visit is five starts across the board.

Food and service were excellent. Great for special occasion dining.

Outstanding service from our waitress, Peyton. The food was so delicious that I wanted to lick my plate, so instead of looking like a slob, I couldn’t resist wiping my plate with that wonderful warm pretzel roll. I had the Braised Short Rib. My daughter had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken and felt the same about her meal. We can’t wait to return.

Tasting room experience was great as always. Jeremiah was excellent as a server. My only negative is how customers waiting in line for gift cards were soooooo negative and complaining. People it’s the day before Christmas Eve!….your poor planning is not the fault of the employees!!! The employees of CH handle it with grace. They’re customer-oriented and patient!!!!

Excellent food, service, and Christmas decor! I recommend the crab cake appetizer, lobster bisque, filet medallions (tonight’s special), and their Christmas chocolate butter cake.
