Fantastic food! My wife and I did a 22nd wedding anny brunch and District Winery did not disappoint. The service was incredible as well as the mimosas. We also like the location and atmosphere. Its right on the water and the restaurant has plenty of windows to let in sunlight. I look forward to going back with my entire family.

Service was a little slow/inconsistent and at one point we were told there weren't any mushrooms so two people ordered different side dishes. Then the mushrooms AND the side orders arrived and all the servers were confused and didn't know what we were talking about. Other than that, things went pretty smoothly.

We did not get the opportunity to dine here. We were quickly seated by a lovely hostess. We waited to be serviced for over 15 minutes. The hostess walked back by and noticed we were in the direct sun and moves us to another section. The Waiter came over pretty quickly and tries to hurry us into ordering and then he walked off without taking the order and said he would give us a few minutes to decide and 15 minutes later he still was not back and we decided to leave because it was obvious our business was not wanted. Never going back here again and will make sure that others will know not to patronize as well.

This was my second time here. This time I invited a friend who likes wine tastings and good brunch food. We ordered the breakfast platter, which had bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, and waffles. Delish! The drinks were also very good. We ended the day with wine tasting. The Harvest Selection had some great wines. I would definitely recommend.

We just went for dinner, did not do a tasting. Very nice view of the river, outdoor seats are under cover from rain. Food was a real treat. Only 5 entrees on the menu but lots of appetizers, shareable dishes, and two large boards, one charcuterie and one Farmers board (all vegetables), each serves 2-4. So we just got the charcuterie and two delicious sharable plates great variety and unusual preparation, not your typical starter menu. We went on a Sunday and the bottle of wine we ordered was half price.

I go to District Winery 3-4 times per year. Love the location. I find the food and environment to be uneven and inconsistent. Lots of starters and shareable but few entrees. The menu changes too frequently which means you cannot rely on returning for certain beloved menu items. One of my biggest complaints is the temperature. It's always too cold inside in summer, spring, fall or winter.
District WineryResponded on September 3, 2023
Thank you for your feedback. Our menu is designed to be seasonal, changing several times a year to allow our Chefs to work with local farmers and purveyors to craft dishes that showcase the best each season has to offer. On your next visit, we would be happy to reserve you a table on our covered patio with a view of the water. We hope to see you again soon - Cheers!

Absolutely love this place! Went for restaurant week and the menu options were great. The charcuterie board was good and fingerling potatoes that we got for the appetizer was impeccable. Everyone needs to get those for sure. The GM personally approached our table and thanked us for coming, which I appreciated. Staff overall was just amazing. I’ve always loved this place, but this previous visit just made me love them more.

We went on a Sunday because I read on the website that they offered half price bottles of wine on Sunday nights. The small plates were fine and the service was good. There was a problem with the check (they charged us full price for the wine) but it was corrected immediately. Not sure I’d return for a full priced experience but if you happen to go on a Sunday night, it’s okay. I would recommend skipping dessert. Our strawberry/rhubarb crumble was more like a strawberry/ rhubarb soup with oatmeal on top.

We had a wonderful evening sitting on outside covered patio. Beautiful breeze blowing through. We did several small plates to share, enjoyed some more than others. Loved the risotto, tomato and bursts , garlic shrimp and broccolini. The tuna crudo was ok but not sure I would order again because there were so many other delicious choices.

The wait staff was not attentive. A waitress blatantly walked right past my table without assisting us. The food menu has changed completely from a few years ago. The new menu does not have as many options as the previous, and the food is over priced for the portions and quality.

We had a great visit~we were excited to try Suisun Valley wines on the east coast! Wines were excellent! The ‘Chef Board’ was the perfect compliment. We look forward to visiting again! 5 stars

Missy - thank you for joining us! We agree - wine and a Chef's Whim board are the perfect combination. We hope to see you at the winery again soon - Cheers!

There was an outdoor event (unrelated to the restaurant) going on so it was pretty loud but we didn’t mind it. I’d just say that the staff didn’t really check back in with us, they ran out of some menu items which they tried to make up for by saying they would comp other items we ordered but they didn’t, and almost charged us for the item that ran out. They corrected the receipt but it didn’t feel like an outstanding experience. I will say though, the cocktails are good.

My friends and I went for dinner and compared to the previous times I’ve been for dinner, this last experience didn’t leave me with a good dining experience. First we received the wrong cheese order, then after ordering a cocktail, I was told they were out of the ingredients so they could not make my drink. After switching up my drink order they proceeded to bring food out before bringing out any drinks or plates. I don’t know how the food came out so quick, but we had to wait a while to get our drinks. Once we were ready to pay for our meal, I noticed that o was still billed the cocktail I originally ordered but never received so I had to tell the waiter to adjust the bill. Overall, I expected better service and quality of food from District Winery because I have frequented many times and have loved all my previous experiences.
