Vine Restaurant

Sophisticated Yum

I was out and about shopping in Virginia Highlands when I stopped in to grab a bite to eat at Vine. I was in jeans and sandals but immediately felt right at home in this beautiful upscale but comfortable place.

I had the Seared Scallops as my appetizer; they were very very tender with a delicate flavor and a very tasty jus. You could tell just how fresh they were.

Prosciutto crusted halibut was my choice as it was recommended to me as the house specialty, so I was intrigued enough to try it. The flavors were outrageous, the potato salad was absolutely delish and the tomato oil is now one of my favorite things (I never had it before) Such hands on attention as the house cured prosciutto adds a tremendous touch to this dish making it one of my favorites in Atlanta.

BUT WAIT if for no other reason come here to have the Chocolate Torte with crushed hazelnuts I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I had the best coffee I have ever tasted with this. I left extremely satisfied and wish to return very soon with all of my family and friends. Their wine list and knowledge is enough to impress even the most seasoned and experienced vinophile but their approach is so friendly and unegotistical that anyone can get the most out of their wine list and enjoy the process. I was told that they have one of the most knowledgeable wine experts in Atlanta creating their wine list. Their patio has invited me back seeing as spring is here. I will be back.

• Pros: One of the nicest patios in Atlanta
• Cons: This is cozy so when it gets busy there is a wait

vendetta much?

Is it just me or do many of the reviews on Vine seem excessively mean and personal? As I read other reviews of restaurants on City Search, the reviews usually just have to do with the food and service. Get A Life!

Yeah! Vine was sold.

Was making reservations on OpenTable and I saw that Vine was closed. I thought they went under as everyone was expecting, but then found out that Vine was sold. While it was only a matter of time, this is such good news. Hopefully we will see it return to its old glory. I called and found out that it is a chef and his wife that bought it. This is very exciting, it was sad to see what happened to this once great restaurant after it changed hands a year ago. Can't wait to see the new menu and watch the crowds return. Now if the guy that ruined Vine would would only sell Sala too we would return the Highlands back to a place for creative chef driven restaurants.
