"Tried on a whim - exceeded all expectations! Small plates are the "cuisine" here. The Stuffed Dates are exceptional and HIGHLY addicting! Actually, so was the Truffle Mac & Cheese. The ample Big Cheddar Board was covered in 5 delicious cheeses, prosciutto, fresh grapes, crackers (2 types,) pickles, seeded mustard and fig preserves! Two of us barely could finish it... but it was so good! The highlight of the evening was a drink so unique and satisfying, I took some ingredient pics to attempt to duplicate it at home! Just try the Campfire Maple Pumpkin. There's a bit of a surprise when it arrives at your table... The vibe, though the restaurant area was quite small, was more like curling up in your living room than sitting in a restaurant/wine bar. All in all, very enjoyable and worth every penny! We'll be curling up again. ;>"

"Food is amazing. This is the second time in two weeks me and my husband have came. Must try’s: Pulled pork sliders Pot stickers - Sweet this chili sauce Asian salad (the ginger dressing is amazing) Mac & cheese app!! Definitely a new favorite spot & the owner is so sweet & friendly! Service was great both times! We had Dorothy & Sam!"

"We decided to go downtown to the Arts Festival on this beautiful day! After wondering thru the exhibits we stopped at the The Vine for drinks and dinner before heading home. Deb had a Smoky Old Fashion and I had my usual vodka martini with blue cheese olives before ordering a nice French Beaujolais and the Big Cheese Board! Great way to end our day!"

"Stopped by for a drink while waiting for a reservation elsewhere. The bartenders were great. They were friendly and knew their stuff. The Smokey old fashions were delicious and not overly Smokey. Will be back"

"My husband and I ate a delicious dinner here before a show at the Wilson Center. It was one of the best date nights we have had in a while. The atmosphere is calm and quiet with a good selection of food and drinks. We will be returning as there are more drinks I want to try. It was very fun and delicious to create our own charcuterie board."
