Tap & Vine Ballantyne (Stonecrest)

"Tiara was our server and was fantastic. Very attentive and gave great recommendations. Live jazz music was great and I enjoyed the tuna tartare."

"Tap & Vine is a great bar and restaurant for a fancy casual meal. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. At is tradition for me, I ordered a salad with salmon. Today's choice was the Beet and Burrata Salad with Salmon. For a salad, there weren't enough greens for me. But the arugula was good and the toasted almonds complimented the greens nicely. The salmon was amazing and cooked and seasoned to perfection. The beets were nice, but not overly flavorful. I needed the dressing mostly for the beets. The burrata was wonderful, with just enough cracked pepper to heighten the taste. Overall, a really good salad! Just not enough greens for me. Service was great, we were attended to by at least 4 employees. Our initial server took our order, but being the bar manager, she needed to handle some paperwork. Another server brought our food out and apologized (needlessly) that our first server wasn't coming out. And two different managers came out to check on our food and service during our meal. What attentiveness!"

"Such a pretty place but the food fell short. The only meal we would reorder if needed would be the clam chowder. Other than that everything else was mid. The spinach dip tasted like hospital food, it was not cheesy or flavorful. The pasta tasted frozen or freezer burned. The burrata was not fresh at all. The lobster bisque was not edible. Our waitress wasn’t too attentive."

"Let’s start with food. I was very happy with my steak and lobster. The entire meal was well done. Our server Noah saved the day. He was personable and he didn’t keep coming over interrupting our meal once the food was served. He would look over to check on us and if we didn’t make eye contact he allowed us to enjoy our conversation. I love that."
