Vine & Wheel

"I’m editing my initial review, due to my second expense here. Leaving my original review at the bottom of this thread. I brought my out-of-town friend here since my first visit was so great. BUT, this second time had some hiccups. First, the positive: Tristan was very accommodating when I called to say we were running behind. Our server (can’t recall her name, but she’s the young, blonde lady) was great both times I had her. She was knowledgeable about the wine and made some great recommendations. The food is always delicious and perfectly cooked. My favorite is the Tri-tip risotto and the scallops. Well-balanced on flavor, rich, and good-sized portions for the entrees. Now, the needed improvements: whoever the dark-haired female hostess is needs an attitude adjustment. Upon arriving, my friends and I said hello, and she was stone-faced the entire time, very cold and unwelcoming. She then tried to sit us at a table that was crammed into a corner, and tried to take chairs from a neighboring table that was already sat with patrons. They were expecting more guests and told her to not take the chair. Frustrated, she just turned around and put us at a table that wasn’t ideal for our party. We agreed to sit there anyway, even though there was plenty of other open seating. Second, the charcuterie board my friend custom-ordered was dismal with the servings of cheeses and meats. There was plenty of bread and crackers, but only three pieces of prosciutto and 9 pieces of salami. There were four of us eating, and it didn’t go far at all. We did still order salad and entrees, but for the amount of money we spent, it didn’t justify what we received in apps. Overall, I still like this place, mainly because of the atmosphere and the adorable food server we had. Will try again. ************************************ I came to this restaurant with a friend of mine on a Wednesday. It was very slow, which was great for us, because the service was outstanding! We decided to order the grilled artichoke appetizer, and also the baked Brie with fig. We requested gluten free bread, to which they accommodated nicely. The lemon butter, on the artichoke appetizer was rich and tangy, and the artichoke was perfectly cooked. The brie and fig with bread was absolutely delicious! They both were so good, I forgot to take pics of them, oops! We ordered the Obsidian Cabernet Sauvignon, and it paired well with everything. For dinner I ordered the Tagliatelle Frutti Di Mare. It had generous servings of scallops, shrimp, squid, in a light sauce with perfectly cooked house-made pasta. My friend orders the short rib risotto, which was divine! Rich flavors and extra tender meat made this dish an absolute favorite. Finally, the pumpkin spice cheesecake for dessert was a terrific final touch. It was light, fluffy, and gluten free. The atmosphere is a laid-back, modern, lounge-y type place with perfectly set music. We will definitely be coming back for more!"

"The service was amazing!! Our waiter was super nice, explained the whole menu, let us sample 2 wines, made a excellent cheese choice for us, and was very attentive while not being overly so. The atmosphere was cozy even when it started to get busy. The food was amazing!! The drinks were so good!"

"Delicious appetizer, mains, and dessert. Large and great wine list, menu has pairing recommendations for all food choices. My only negative would be the volume is a few clicks too loud. We had the short rib toast, NY Strip (6 oz only), short rib risotto, and toffee cake."

"Our server, Rae, was great! She even made my maple sour, and it was really smooth. I recommend the pick 3, it was the perfect size for the two of us. They even gave us a free cheesecake when the entree we split was cold. The issue though was with the entree itself. We were getting full so we decided to split the PBJ Yak steak. The steak was like 2oz and I would say it was chopped because the pieces weren’t uniform, so I couldn’t tell if it was from one piece of meat. The potatoes were a little bland, and the arugula “salad” was just a massive bed of arugula, possibly cilantro, and some kinda vinaigrette- it was kind of hard to eat so it felt more like decore. And in the photo, it looks really greasy. Everything else was great! Unfortunately entrees are important. I’ll probably come back for a drink, but I wish there was more disclosure about the steak on the menu because we definitely thought we were getting something different, and it was 33$!"

"The staff was fantastic, I will start off by saying that. It is a relaxed, yet upscale vibe just on the edge of the downtown bar area. The outside couches, fireplaces and lights are very inviting. The food was an 7/10 as well as the drinks in my opinion. For a $25 cheese board, I was definitely expecting a bit more meat and cheese that we selected and less bread...there were only a few slices of meat and two small of cheese. My biggest critique is that for the amount of money.... I just don't know. For a two person bill to be $275... Rabbit Hole has much better food and drinks for less money in my opinion and a more intimate setting. They were quite weak on the alcohol in the cocktails. I love the spot and would go back if they just lowered their prices a bit."
