Sapphire Creek Winery & Gardens

Came for Restaurant Week 2024. Vibes - sophisticated and cozy. Servers and staff were charming. Food unfortunately left something to be desired. Large property, being a winery and event space, so Sapphire Creek is a little out off the beaten path, but worth the drive. There's quite a bit of parking along the long driveway as well as valet available. The main building looks like an unassuming barn, but the dining area's elegant lighting, high ceilings, and cozy glow nearly takes your breath away when viewed for the first time. I'm not quite a fan of the huge nearly floor to ceiling mirrors that are placed along the walls and believe more could have been done decor wise, but the rest of the Christmasy touches for the holidays made up for some of this. There's a bar with TV screens if you're aiming for a more casual feel, enclosed patio, and traditional seating for small parties up to larger groups. The designers definitely try to be thoughtful, making blankets available to those dining on the enclosed patio. There was a live musician playing the night we went playing covers of popular songs. Volume was a little too loud for us to talk comfortably so we really had to lean in for conversation. Possibly a side effect of the acoustics of the huge building. Restrooms are located near the front with separate men's and women's stalls. Menu-wise, it's traditional American steakhouse, with a variety of meat and seafood options. Some menu items rotate seasonally. Obviously, wine is a highlight of their menu as well, but they do serve other spirits. I did like that their menu suggested wine pairings for each main course. They were out of the ciabatta app when I went, so we opted for a French Onion Soup and Caesar Salad. Both were pretty average - the salad could have come out of a kit with a ton of parmesan sprinkled on top and I wouldn't have been surprised. Main course wise, the Salmon was very nicely done - tender and moist with a perfect slightly sweet seasoning. Hot Honey Sandwich was above average, a towering stack of a sandwich, but the chicken was overdone. For dessert, we enjoyed the on-theme Pumpkin Creme Brulee, but the Tiramisu also tasted and looked like something store-bought. We had a lovely time roaming the grounds for a bit after dinner, enjoying the paved and gently lit paths which meander over a babbling brook and several cute clearings that I'm sure are a hit for photoshoots and weddings.

Had the best waitress, Brenna. She was personable, attentive and very friendly. She was a joy to have as a server. It was our 45th anniversary, which is the sapphire anniversary so it was very appropriate to have our dinner here. My short rib dinner was very tender and delicious. My husband also enjoyed his salmon meal. We had smoked old-fashioneds that were wonderful and a bottle of wine. The evening was wonderful and we will definitely be back. We were in the Cellar which was quite quaint. Thanks Brenna for a wonderful time.

Surprise date with my husband and it was wonderful! What a beautiful space-- both interior and exterior. It is obvious to see why they host weddings and events. But the few appetizers and cocktails were also great too. We had the tuna stack gluten free and it was fabulous especially for the happy hour prices. The mussels were also very good albeit a bit oily of a sauce. We really enjoyed the blueberry smash cocktail and the house cab was solid. Love the HH, kind service, and look forward to coming back soon.

So we had a ladies early dinner here a couple of days ago for my sister's bday. The place is GORGEOUS! I love how it makes me feel so close to nature. We had 3 bottles of the same kind- Sauvignon Blanc and shared apps and entrees. Food tastes really good and the presentation was beautiful. Reason why I'm giving it 4 stars is because one of the managers (or supervisor) randomly came up to our table and asked if everything was okay but with a negative vibe (like we did something wrong) so it made us feel a little uncomfortable but we just brushed it off because our server was great. But overall, I'll consider coming back here because of the scenery, food and wine.

What a beautiful venue for so many occasions, just a girls night out, wedding reception, romantic dinner or in my case for an educational dinner meeting. This ambiance is warm, rustic chic. Every single staff member from valet to wait staff was so accommodating and friendly. The venue was very clean and our meeting room had a gorgeous patio view. Our charcuterie appetizer was demolished! Savory unique cheeses, meats and I think was Prosecco soaked thin apple slices (my favorite!). The salad was perfect with a nice mix of salt form the cheese and the tang of the vinegrette. My salmon was maybe a tad overcooked but they didn't ask how I liked mine medium rare. Overall a fantastic experience!

Food was top notch as my previous visit. Service is amazing, friendly and warm. Both Tyler and Brenda (just kidding) Brenna made our meal that much more enjoyable. The manager came to ask how we were and we very nice. Burger was great, lobster tater tots were tasty. My wife had pasta night special and loved it. This is definitely a go to for us for a romantic and relaxing dinner.

My husband and I dined here with another couple during their Tuesday night burger deal. The burgers were excellent (very juicy and flavorful). The bruschetta was pretty good. I loved my wine flight (great quality) and the amount of options regarding varieties. My husband thought his martini was unique but wasn't in love with it. As you can see , the atmosphere is very elegant and open. You can also walk the grounds and experience the lovely gardens. Our server was very friendly and helpful in answering questions regarding the wine flight. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful higher end venue is large with windows looking out onto the woods and fire pits. The bar is long. Some evenings at 6 a guitarist plays after happy hour. This happy hour, from 4-6 p.m., the special was an $8 smash burger. Drinks were a bit high priced. Wine was $4 off, so an 8 oz pour was $20. The Reserve Chardonnay was perfect. The apps were reasonably priced. My mussels were $9 and were plenty to share or eat alone with toasted bread. The shrimp cocktail was three tails for $9. There are six menu items and all looked delicious. The server explained the Napa wines, which are dry, and the speciality drinks. She was great. Large parking. Handicapped accessible.

Oh my gosh! This is a completely different restaurant than it was! If you're looking for a GORGEOUS place to dine on fantastic food THIS is the place! New owners and new menu and I wasn't disappointed with any of it. Chef Ray personality spoke to us about our food concerns and questions then he professionally delivered the food himself. The halibut was the best I've had in a long time. We WILL be back! I highly recommend!

Our second visit here and it's as amazing as ever! The food is always top class and presented beautifully. The service is above and beyond with friendly efficient servers! The ambiance is high class and extraordinary with incredible outdoor views while dining! I can't recommend it highly enough! Check it out for yourself and see!
