I celebrated my 39th birthday in September with a group of 14. We initially booked outdoor tables with firepit but the weather had other plans. The manager was super accommodating and we got a table inside . The saying all well that ends well is so true. It was 80’s night, there was a dj and the rest was history! A great time! Staff is extremely helpful ! Would definitely visit again and recommend!

My group of 6 entered the fireplace experience and it was so toasty. There were blankets and comfy couches. We brought snack and Carley brought us drinks and everything we needed. We had the best time. The fireplace was fed throughout our time. They brought us a rainbow magical fire stick which was awesome. We enjoyed our time in this winter adventure. We didn’t don’t want to leave so we moved the party instead and ended our time after another hour. I would recommend this experience and we will definitely be back.

Great value overall! Red flight was good. Says dog friendly but you’re not allowed to bring your dog inside. Anywhere outside is fine. Flights are reasonably prices and good portions. There were two food trucks, live music, and a dog adoption event. Nice view. Wish there was somewhere to walk around other than the seating areas. You seat yourself anywhere outdoors. No entrance or parking fee. Got here at 12.30pm on a Saturday. Closer to 2pm we noticed more and more people arriving. Would come back if I could have my dog inside since it became chilly. I’d recommend.

We recently visited Aquilas Nest Vineyards for the first time, and it was an amazing experience. The outdoor area offered a stunning view of the sunset, which made for a truly picturesque evening. The live music added to the enjoyable atmosphere, creating the perfect ambiance. The only downside was that it was quite overcrowded, making it hard to fully enjoy the space. I’ll definitely go back, but maybe on a day that isn’t Saturday for a more peaceful experience.
