A Perfect Patio Lunch at Wards Wine Country Kitchen

Our visit to Wards Wine Country Kitchen on Saturday, September 20, 2025, for a late lunch was an absolute delight. We were so fortunate to be served by Assistant Manager Aly, whose service was truly exceptional. Her knowledge and passion for the menu were evident, and her recommendation of the Gneiss Rosé was a superb choice that perfectly complemented our meal.

We shared a selection of fresh and flavorful dishes. The Baked Brie was wonderfully warm and gooey, a comforting start to our lunch. The Kimchi Olives were a surprising and bold twist, offering a unique burst of flavor that was both savory and tangy. The Korean Hot Wings were a highlight—crispy and succulent with a delicious, spicy-sweet glaze that left us wanting more.

It was weighty, thick and juicy and well seasoned. I was happy Now the service was another story but only tweeking is needed. Tables were disorganized and left un wiped after clearing, and I felt the young waitresses are hasty and uninformed about the menu. Whoever is managing the front of house needs more attention to the details. Keep these tips in mind, you're running a class establishment guys! I didn't leave a bad tip, so I'm still rooting for your success and will come with my man to try a...

We ordered food and drinks from Ward’s Wine Country Kitchen while spending the day at the District Wine Village. The food and drinks were decent, and our server was genuinely great, friendly and attentive.

However, the experience was seriously undermined by the attitude of two other staff members who made it very clear they were not welcoming toward families with young children. Their passive-aggressive behavior created an uncomfortable atmosphere and completely clashed with the family-friendly vibe this place advertises online.

If you have children under 7, I’d recommend staying away. It’s disappointing when a venue that claims to be kid-friendly allows staff who clearly aren’t comfortable around kids to ruin what should be an enjoyable outing.

Hopefully management takes this kind of feedback seriously. The setting has potential, but families deserve to feel...
