The Vine

Food was great and the atmosphere was awesome...also great that they allow well-behaved dogs in their outdoor seating area

Great "attempt" at bringing a nice wine bar to the area, but the food falls terribly short.  We liked the beer garden atmosphere but when our food came we were extremely let down.  We ordered 6 tapas dishes and all were just not good.  The Brie could easily be made at home with a cheap jar of apricot preserves.  Their idea of chicken satay is grilled chicken stuck on a skewer with soy sauce.  the caprese salad and stuffed peppers are weak, lacking creativity.  All in all it seems like they have the right idea, but are afraid to actually take things to a higher level.  Wine selection was just OK.

Awesome wine selection and a great place to stop for a drink and a snack while shopping downtown.
