We were told we did not have to have reservations but when we got there around 5:00 pm, we were told they were fully booked. The restaurant was nearly empty. When we told them our hotel recommended this place and that we did not need a reservation they all of a sudden had an open table. They sat us outside and it was a beautiful view of the vineyard. The prices are on the high end. For example, the pizza is $24 CAD. We each had pasta which was very good. No bread is provided with pasta which we found interesting. Also, the Merlot was excellent. So, overall it was a very good experience. When we left, the restaurant was completely empty. So, not sure why they would have turned us away originally.
