4.0 of 5 stars. Great place for a small get together. Great apps, and good wine choices. I like the Woodinville one the best of all. Try the cheese and wine flight!!! That is good stuff!!

Yelp.com Review - by Emily M.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is our go-to dinner spot, not only because Woodinville is utterly starved for decent food (The Herbfarm and Barking Frog being special-occasion priced), but because we're always treated well and...
