Agrarian Bistro & Bar - Picton

We were able to get a table on Saturday evening despite not having made a reservation which was great. This is a quaint little restaurant with a limited but great menu selection. We chose the steak frites and a burger and both were delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the fries were crispy and golden! We were too exhausted from our day of touring the wineries so we didn't stick around for the live music in the Speakeasy but are certain that it would have been a great experience as well!

Enjoyed a very nice dinner here. Great little restaurant with a warm, upmarket(but friendly) vibe. I had a burger with cheese and bacon that was exceptionally good. Paired it with a nice local wine which, yes, went extrely well together :) Our waiter was very personable and very attentive.I'd have given this a 5 eating but my wife had a salad that she rated as a "meh". Would definitely recommend going here... But perhaps pass on the salad :)

Three of us had Sunday brunch at the Agrarian. Although it was good, I wouldn’t call it great. Based on the reviews, we expected something much better.First, the positives…. The food was tasty and the interior is pleasantly, albeit simply, decorated. The restaurant also seemed very clean and is conveniently located. Their sourdough bread is first-rate.The negatives.... The brunch menu was very limited and the portions (we each tried something different) were small. Frankly, we all left a little hungry and didn't feel we got good value for our money. My first cup of coffee was lukewarm. I assumed this was just a fluke, but my second cup 30 minutes later was served the same way. The staff weren’t rude, but didn’t seem particularly friendly or attentive either. I asked for peanut butter or jam for my toast and the response I received was “I’ll see what I can do”, which seemed a little odd to me. Doesn’t anyone else ask for peanut butter or jam?? Jam finally appeared, but only after my toast had gone cold. There were also some specks floating in the cream container. That's not a big deal, so I asked to get a replacement. I was told that they were coffee grounds and it was implied that I should be okay with that. I wasn't. A replacement was provided so "I wouldn't think it was something gross" (their words). Pro tip: no foreign particles should be floating in the cream. Ever. Also, everything had a “rushed” feel about it. Granted that this is a small restaurant, so they probably want to keep things moving, but I was hoping for a more relaxed experience. There also appears to be only one “single seat” bathroom serving both men and women in the entire restaurant, so be prepared to wait.Of course, this review is based on only one meal. Other meals/days/times may be better, but this was our experience. Would we return? Maybe, but it wouldn’t be our first choice.

We stopped here by chance on our way to our campsite and were absolutely blown away by the delicious cheese and knowledgeable staff! We managed to sample and purchase many varieties of cheeses here and could not get enough of the truffle Brie ! Definitely a must try !

We had brunch here and enjoyed our meals. It is a small restaurant so good idea to make reservations. Everyone enjoyed their meals.
