Tagaris Winery and Restaurant

This is one of the few treasures of local flare that Richland possesses. The wine, food and atmosphere let one step away from the strip mall nightmare that the Tri-Cities is, and feel like they may be dining in the city. For the quality and freshness of the food (not to mention the ever-changing menu options) and the excellent service (knowledgeable, friendly wait staff) it is well worth the price; and well worth the wait (the food is made fresh, unlike many of the chain restaurants in this town). more

Tagaris Winery recently opened a beautiful facility on Tulip Lane behind Barnard Griffin. It includes a gorgeous restaurant and patio area. Unfortunately, the experience there doesn't live up to expectations. On a recent visit, the wait staff seemed to resent the fact that we were there distracting them from their enjoyment of their beautiful facility. We were asked if we have a reservation. The restaurant was empty!Since we didn't have a reservation, we were told we had to sit on the patio. The menu on the patio is different from the restaurant menu. On the patio, you get a choice of four appetizers. That's all! Service was slow. When we left, the restaurant was still empty. The only wine they serve is Tagaris, which, in my opinion is barely drinkable. To top it off, their prices are very high. more
