The service was non existent when we were there, we went up to counter to order, not friendly staff at all. After all that chaos, it changed our minds and we left for somewhere more enjoyable.
Yes! We are family friendly.
My guess is a love band. Join their Facebook page. More than likely they post who is playing or call and ask. They should be willing to help you out.
Not sure if they take reservations but they have plenty of outside seating
Yes, but is limited to maybe 10 to 15 vehicles. You will have to park on the strip or in the municipal parking lot across the street.
Go someplace else. The place has bad service and food sucks.
The food and service should be considered a war crime. Came out with my fiancé’s family and out of the 10 people in attendance, nobody liked their food. Our grandma got a salad with grilled chicken but it didn’t have any chicken on it. When this was brought to the server’s attention, she went to the cook to ask him why there was no chicken on the grilled chicken salad. After many moons she returned to tell us that the chicken is actually underneath the lettuce. Wow! Did we feel silly! When my grandma pulled back the lettuce it revealed the pieces of chicken that the chef had burnt into submission and was hiding, like how a child would hide broccoli under its napkin. The chips came with marinara like some kind of Mexican/Italian Frankenstein appetizer. The whole staff are young people who all look terrified. I can only imagine the owner is running some type of Lemony Snicket situation.
Awesome shop just tip in advance for the best service ever!!!
The extra star is for the entertainment value of how laughable the entire experience was. Half the wait staff and probably all of the kitchen do not speak enough English to understand what on earth was going on. At first we were like heck yea this place is taking exchange students or work visa people but..... If you're going to do that.... Don't just let them free. The wine is basically just grape vinegar. It's gross. We tried the chardonnay and Lake Effect. We tried adding ice. We tried pouring straight water in it. Gross. We specifically said no chips with the hummus because I am allergic to gluten. Came out with an extra huge basket of chips. The veggies that came with it was laughable. We laughed for 10 minutes. The hummus itself was decent. The view of the lake was nice. The live music was nice. That's really all. I'm glad we ordered so little.
We decided to go here even though a lot of reviews advised against it and we had a pretty good time. The drinks were cheaply priced and the atmosphere was light and fun. Our server was also very friendly and fast. The view was gorgeous and the band was good. The food wasn’t great and it was kind of pricey, but we didn’t really care because we were winery hopping all day and just wanted a snack anyways. We got the $10 souvenir pitcher and it was loaded with cherries, which was a fun surprise. We also went around 1:30 pm so it wasn’t very crowded. I would give this place a chance if you’re winery hopping or hanging out at Geneva on the Lake.
Let's start with the highlights...the food is mediocre at best. Once you get seated you can expect to get in line to place your food order, than you can get in a different line to place your drink order. After an hour or more you may get your food, if you're lucky it will still be warm. While you're waiting you can enjoy watching the staff change out the trash cans, and than wipe down the the tables and handle food trays without ever changing their gloves or washing their hands....I could go on but you get the point. Bon appetit!
Regular Ole Tavern/Bar Food at A Hefty price tag. Wife and I ordered chicken tenders a burger and split a big fry. 2 sodas. $44.95 and the burger was cooked from frozen. The tenders the same way. If you're going to hand out Big Checks for regular food then it definitely better be made from scratch. They got my money once. Never Again though. Sorry But I'm just being honest.
Waited about 30 min to be seated because they didn't have any more two person tables while they let people that had big groups go ahead of us. Finally sat down and the girl asked if we wanted a min to look over the menus while she got us some water. 20 min later...no water...no waitress...we left. Drove over an hour to come and try the wine. Will never go back!
TERRIBLE food. Ordered shrimp and it tasted super old and overcooked. Even the cheesey potatoes were awful. They brought us salads that were literally just lettuce. After digging for a few minutes I found a baby carrot. Crab cakes were straight outta the box from Sam's club... Like. Seriously. Don't do it.
Ran by a bunch of kids. Took forever to get seated. Staff just walking by without a greeting. The entertainment was watching two waiters walk around the outdoor seating area round and round asking people if it was their order they were trying to pass out. They finally returned to the kitchen. Then you could see them all arguing. We guess the people who ordered it just left. We finally left after 15 minutes of waiting to order.
Good food good service good wine
Every year I come here, and every year its phenomenal. Please keep up the great service, food, and atmosphere
A bit disorganized but a beautiful view of the lake.
Whenever I went to Ohio every summer, eating here would always be the best. Sit down with the family, eat, and after enjoy the pretty sunset over the lake while turning on their ferris wheel.10/10 would recommend
We waited for an hour to get nothing , everything was terrible and it is absurd to wait that long when they’re not even that busy!!!!!
The food was amazing, service was great, very attentive. Not a long wait at all.
Horrible service, overpriced mediocre margaritas, wine not bad
One of the best places to go period. There wine slushy is amazing. Been going here for years. The little ferris wheel by the water is always fun with the kids. I always take few bottles to go. There wine is just so good. Live bands and good vibes always at the old firehouse winery
Was a pretty good place to stop for wine. Miller, bud, or 1 local brew for beer 🍻 🍷
Not worth the money. My husband's fish sandwich was clearly frozen fish poorly reheated (the meat itself was brown, not white as perch should be) which we also found ironic as we sat staring at Lake Erie. He didn't eat it and our server didn't notice or ask if it was okay. I pointed it out after we received our bill. We were given another one to take home, which we will not be eating. Our tables and chairs were sticky though they were freshly cleaned, which made it uncomfortable to sit at. The wine was subpar and the iced tea tasted awful. My steak wrap was surprisingly but compared to the $13.49 price was also a surprisingly small portion to not come with fries. Our $50 total bill was definitely not worth what we received. We won't be returning and will recommend our family and friends avoid the establishment when they visit GOTL.
We got some cocktails and appetizers. Both were generous portions and very yummy!! They have so many seating options, wide menu, large portions, lower prices, live music, beach access. Would definitely recommend! We got a bottle of the Riesling to take home too and that was delicious.
The Wines were great, very good variety. Sweet , semisweet and some dry. The story behind the place is fantastic. The staff very friendly and great service. Didn't sample the food but smelled great. Highly recommend this place, very down to earth.
Food is pretty bad. Service not bad but very inflexible. Could be a great place given the location.
We stopped in at the Old Firehouse Winery for dinner after a day of walking all over the area. It took a little time to be seated, but that was mainly because we were waiting for a table in the sun since it was a chilly evening. The menu said full bar service, but I asked for a Long Island Iced Tea and was told they didn't have that. I had to walk over to the Sunset Bar (a pavilion about 100 feet away) to get one and bring it back to my table, only to find that our server had brought me a regular tea... that was odd. The food we had was fantastic. My wife and I both had burgers and they were very good. The fries were also really good. My wife had the wine slushie and loved it. At one point she asked our server for some malt vinegar, and he said they only had regular vinegar, then brought us malt vinegar. Again, kind of odd. Ultimately though our experience was good, the service was decent, and the food was outstanding.
Had the WORST experience yesterday for our bachelorette. This was our first stop and it ended up taking 3 hours of our day just waiting on waters, 2 drinks and chips. We were seated in a tent with little to no service. The poor boy Zach you stuck us with was only on his 3rd day and was obviously overwhelmed and under trained. He was so stressed and we ended up feeling so bad for him. He should not have been given a whole tent with 6 plus per table. That was too much. We ended up not being able to enjoy much of the town seeing as we were rushed around after leaving there to get to our dinner. The chips were DISGUSTING. Absolutely zero flavor. Honestly the worst experience I've had in a long time.
Did not have to wait long. Food was good. Service was ok.Social distancing was great.However!! The gentleman cleaning the tables and chairs used no disinfectant. He carried a pan to collect dirty dishes in one hand and in the other he had a white rag. He wiped tables and chairs with that rag... the same rag and used no disinfectant.Thanks but no thanks
Fantastic place... we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck eating, drinking wine, and listening to live music...The service was great and prices were good.
Wow, from the comments it looks above average, but the average bar must be set low. The fries are ok, chicken sandwich(s) and perch very dry, hard to eat. If your going to drink only then it’s great.
Waitress was rude, idk if it was short staffed or she just didn't like her job
Service is very slow. Had to wave down a server, no one came to acknowledge us. Took about 20min to get 2 pops. Manager had every excuse in book, yet you did not see her helping out! Will never come back and I would not waste your time or money!
Unimpressed. Didn't think food was very good. Far too expensive for quality.
Food is excellent! 10 minutes ride from GOTL. Wines are great with friendly staff. Outdoor dining too.
Normally always great food, wine, service and atmosphere but in 2020 service has gone downhill, manners are lacking and rudeness was abound by staff.
Wine tasting prices are good. Tasting trays are a nifty idea. Service is meh. Wine is meh. Not having any staff where a mask in the middle of a pandemic is borderline irresponsible.
Food wasn't up to par. Service was fine
Most expensive wrap sandwich I paid for besides a lobster wrap. I had steak wrap for lunch. Very bland and lacked flavor. 13.95 and it came with a pickle. Patio nice service very weak. Lacks leadership.
This place is terrible! The food is disgusting. The service is poor. And the wine is awful! There are so many better wineries to go to. Stay away from this nastiness!
Not sure why the half brains are reviewing poorly here. It's an amazing place with amazing wine. The people are friendly and the wine is top notch. Food is good and it's always a fun time. The people that rank this poorly probably think cheap California wine is good and know nothing. This winery makes very elegant wine. Go here. Now. Do it. What are you afraid of? A good time?
Good atmosphere, good waiter, food just ok.
I had a great time here! Our server was super nice and really sweet. The live music the band was playing was amazing and I couldn't keep myself from dancing and singing along. They played Rock 'n Roll, Country and Jazz music and everybody seemed to like the music aswell. I saw happy faces all around. We had a special order for vegetarian nachos and everything worked out just fine. Later into the night we all watched the most beautiful sunset Lake Erie had to offer. Special thanks to the kind server. I'm sorry my family was so needy. You did a great job! Somebody give that girl a golden badge and a salary increase
You know the food was good. The only problem was it took OVER an hour to get to our table. The band was fun and I really wish it just would have had better service. I'm really sad it turned out this way, we have had much better experiences in the past. Unfortunately I would no longer recommend this place. We were given a 50 percent reduction on the total check, but I sat hungry for a long time.
We never got our food after an hour of waiting so we walked out. We did pay for the mediocre wine tasting trays we got but in all honesty we shouldnt have for how long we waited for them. Staff was all teens, and no manager in sight.
I would love to review the food, however my group of friends and i never received it. We waited for almost an hour and got fed up with waiting on our food. We payed for the items we drank.
I am solely basing my review on their peach wine. It's not peach and taste like a lot of old sour white grapes. I've tried multiple peach wines from around the world and this ISN'T peach. I do NOT know about their winery nor do i know about their other wines.
We waited at a gate for someone to direct us to a table but were basically ignored by every employee walking by and decided after waiting 10 minutes to leave
For the very long wait time this was not worth it. The food was also painfully overcooked.
Could not even get waited on and very few people there. Never my favorite winery, but nice atmosphere on the patio. Prices high. Will not be back!!
The waitress was nice, but the service was slow, I had to sen my wings back because they sat to long and were cold. They must fry their wings frozen because the outsides were hot and crispy but close to the bone was cold.
Our experience was ok. I asked for a frozen strawberry daiquiri and it came on the rocks. We asked for no olives on our cheese fries and there were olives, plus it was very soupy at the bottom. The entire place was full, and there were only 2 servers working. You could tell the place was understaffed. I heard the tables next to us saying they weren't giving a tip at all. But it's not the servers fault so we tipped extra.
Tried to get seated TWICE. Hostess wasn’t around the first time, so we sat by lake for a bit then came back. There were about 5 staff members just standing around making jokes and not one of them came to help us.
