The setting is informal, casual dress, and first come-first seated/served. We recommend arriving by 3:30 to get a good seat. Terry, co-owner and host, will help you.      For service and safety, we don't allow tables to be pulled together, so if you have a small group PLEASE call for a reservation. 16 people in one group is absolutely the maximum size that we can set up for. If you have more people in your group, we recommend you arrive by 3:30 to get an extra table close by the reserved tables. *We have a cap on reserved tables - call early to reserve. We will take a reservation up to one month before any Jazz date. ****>We require that reserved tables be claimed no later than 4pm and any seats left open may be filled by general seating needs after 4:30. We will call you for a confirmation of your group size. Please be considerate and reserve only for the number you can confirm will be attending.       We don't cancel jazz because of weather, be it rain, heat or cold - please dress weather appropriately; in Texas, this means bring a coat for chilly evenings, or be prepared for heat. The pavilion is totally shaded, insulated from radiant heat and has fans, but we can't AC the outdoors, darnit. Likewise, November thru March the Pavilion is curtained and we have space heaters, but it can get chilly. There is also seating in the Barrel Room, which is cooler or warmer, weather depending, but this seating is limited. If the high for the day is 40• or lower, Jazz will be in the Barrel Room, with overflow seating on the Pavilion.         Our bistro kitchen serves lunch from Noon to 6:00 on Jazz Sundays and has a selection of wonderful lunches.      While we allow leashed dogs on our Terrace other days, please do not bring your dog to Jazz - it's too crowded and stressful for dogs and we don't want bite risks. >> We do not allow outside foods, drinks or cakes brought in.<      If you are celebrating an event with a group of folks, we can provide a personalized cake with a one week advance notice. Please see the cake order at the bottom of this column for selections you may order. Otherwise, our menu has desserts. Age Restrictions for Jazz, Crush Day and other events as noted. We only admit those 16 years old and older.      We do this for very considered reasons, and out of hard experience: This is an alcohol-oriented environment. Kids run around and bother everyone but their parents. We don't have a playground or a child-appropriate area. The winery is not child-proof. People come to relax, not to listen to a screaming 3 year old or be run over by a rambunctious 9 year old. Even 12 year olds get bored and then make a nuisance of themselves - so we set the age at 16. >>>We do not make exceptions.<<<      If you have kids, give yourself some adult play time - get a babysitter and come enjoy. *PLEASE call ahead if you have a group!* We take reservations up to one month before any jazz. We ask for a phone number to confirm the reservation the day before the event.
