Merkin Vineyards Hilltop Winery & Trattoria

The bruschetta is amazing. Get it. Pizza was amazing. View with the open patio is exactly what we live. They have a fantastic milkshake ipa that was surprisingly good. I go for the chupacabra wine. We go everyone we are in the area.

When you get to travel across North America and then try your bucket list vineyard, only to find their food is as good as their wine. You have hit the jackpot. Hopes were high and we were not disappointed. The pasta is homemade, light and delicious. And the prices are shockingly soooo reasonable especially for the portions. Highly recommend the prosciutto bruschetta as well!

Gotta be honest, I made a reservation and then read the reviews and was a bit afraid, but (gladly) my concerns were just that. Everyone in our party of 6 had a great experience. The service was great, allowing us to enjoying a nice dining evening. The restaurant is gorgeous, both inside with a nice atmosphere and outside with breathtaking views. My only complaint is that the inside would benefit from better ventilation as it can get a bit warm (especially after a few glasses of wine). Overall, if you're on the fence, go for it. You shouldn't regret based on our experience .

Sienna was our waitress tonight. She had some amazing recommendations and was a great host tonight for our dinner. We had the chicken parm, and it was 10 out 10 The c board was also an awesome appetizer. We both had a glass of the orangilica wine and it was great with our meal. We love Tool Maynard and now his food. What a blessing to be able to come tonight. We thank you for your great service!

Merkin Impressive, that is the word. We’ve been to other locations. I guess now have closed, but this was the grandfather of them all. ITS INCREDIBLE! Yeah, to say the least. Joe, Beth and Tammy, I’m just saying that you guys have a lot of great employees, but these three really stood out, thank you for making our visit there so special. The view is incredible. They have a lot of choices of wine and wine samples, but for me, I was glad to have a cocktail. I met some really fun people that were customers. Beth tickets to our favorite table. Joe, his personality is fabulous and made up the best cocktails, old-fashioned, Yum. Tammy assisted in taking some of the best pictures of the incredible view. We really did love this place and we will be back. IWOULD RECOMMEND

Wonderful view paired with reasonably priced delicious food makes this a clear winner. The flights are reasonable and being able to have a glass of Caduceus is a treat beyond compare. The service was great...Gypsy took great care of us. The beef dip was divine and the soup (vegetable cream) was an extraordinary experience for my taste buds.

This place is highly unique. You won't find anything else like this. It looks like a crazy industrial storage place on the outside and not like fine dining, but it's a vineyard and we were there when nothing was growing around it. It looks really cool, but just not what you think possibly! So you can either go up a ton of scary, open air stairs (this is a fear of mine and thought I wouldn't be able to go) but low and behold there is a tram!! So we took the tram. And that was fun in itself. Inside it's stunning, beautiful and so interesting! I didn't get any good pics. But they make their own pasta and breads and wines and everything! We all got something different and it was all divine. I got the beef noodle dish, I can't remember what it's called now. It was superb. I got the fresh bread plate with butter. Delicious. We each got a wine flight. And then shared 2 gelato desserts. The most interesting and unique desserts ever! Our waiter was so friendly! He forgot a few things here and there but nothing major. They had great music playing as well and not too loud. Took the stairs down cause going down open air stairs doesn't bother me for some reason. Beautiful patio, hope to come back again some day!

We stopped there on our roadtrip in april 25. Great place : waiters were super friendly, MJK's wine was very good (not easy to find in Europe) and the food was great. We can say we ate the best pasta cacio e pepe we ever had outside Italy. Reasonably priced for the quality and the place.
