My fiancé brought me here for a surprise birthday dinner and it was absolutely amazing!
As a vegan, I have found that many restaurant menus tend to stick with salads, french fries and steamed vegetables as their “Vegan Options” despite there being so many savory dishes you can make with similar ingredients. This is hard after living in places that offer a variety of vegan options.
Winesett House doesn’t spell it out on the menu but our waitress Kendall (such a sweetie and super attentive) was very quick to share that the chef is always happy to whip up a vegan, vegetarian or gluten free option if I can provide an idea of what I might enjoy. That’s already a win in my book because in my experience, only a confident and skilled chef is willing to go off menu.
We enjoyed our meals (the food was delicious!) and a brief encounter with another staff member named Levi who was also very attentive and had a smile that could make anyone’s frown turn upside down which is always so nice to see, especially in younger generations working in the service and hospitality industry.
Just when we thought the night couldn’t get any better, we had the opportunity to meet Chef Travis, and despite how busy he was, he sat down to talk with us and answer some questions we had about potentially hosting our wedding reception there. The conversation flowed effortlessly and we also loved hearing about some of the family history of the business. I’m happy to say that by the end of the conversation, we had booked our wedding reception and are now well on our way to plan for our next happy occasion at Winesett House.
Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday dinner an overall truly memorable experience.
