Vine Restaurant & Bar 211 North El Camino Real, San Clemente, CA 92672

"I rarely write reviews, but my experience here was so phenomenal that I feel it is necessary. Two friends and I went for a leisurely family style dinner and everything we ordered, from the drinks to the appetizers to the entrees, exceeded our expectations. Beyond that, everything came out impossibly fast, our server was stellar, and they gave us a complimentary dessert. I can't wait to go back."

"Made a last-minute reservation and they were prepared! Sloan was a wonderful waitress. Food was great! My salmon plate was perfect and a huge portion! Not dry at all. The pumpkin ravioli were a hit as well. Prices were very good. Parking is rough. Friendly people all around! Mostly outdoor seating but they have very strong heaters so it’s nice and toasty."

"First of all, the location is great and the atmosphere is really lovely. Wine list had some great wines and the cocktails were also delicious. The service here is really top notch. You can tell that they pay attention to the small details and provide quality service throughout the meal service. Portions are generous! A lot of people recommend the crispy Jidori Chicken and I can confirm it is amazing. Overall we really had the best experience and would love to come back next time we are in town."

"We made a reservation for the covered outdoor patio since we had our small dog. Were seated right away and ordered Sea Bass and chef daily market fresh fish- John Dory, which I never had before. Both tasted excellent and fresh, especially the John Dory fish. We also took the special appetizer of the day- Bone Marrow, which was very good as well since I like it in general. If you have not had it, the texture is something you have to get used to. We concluded the dinner with Crème Brûlée, it was on the house since it was a birthday celebration. Thanks Vine! Will definitely come back for the next special occasion."
