Tap And Vine

I recently visited Tap & Vine in Auburn, CA and had a great experience. The food was excellent, especially the seafood chowder which had a good mix of fish, prawns, and mussels. The service was also really good, and our orders were filled quickly. However, the atmosphere was not as good as we had hoped. We were seated crammed up to a wall and it was difficult to hear everyone in our party. Overall, I would recommend Tap & Vine for their delicious food and great service.

GF diners - you'll have to ask for modifications. Otherwise the GF friendly optioms on menu are miniscule and not worth choosing this restaurant. Our server was attentive, creative, made sure we could all eat comfortably, even though we arrived at an off time. Food was great, as were all the staff. Plenty of water, shade outside, and didn't have any gluten reactions. I'd come again, but only because of the server who made it feasible for me.

Went for a wedding reception buffet in the courtyard. Beautifully decorated. Food was great. The wedding couple kept it very simple (no dancing, etc) but the staff was fun and very attentive. I highly recommend Tap & Vine for your party. I have no knowledge of the normal operation or food but must assume it's great.

Tap and Vine is a casually elegant, or elegantly casual, dining experience in Auburn, California. Just off I-80 and across from the historic courthouse, there's indoor, outdoor, and downstairs bar dining; something for everyone. As the weather was perfect we opted for the streetside patio. The menu is well balanced, with a range of appetizers and entrees to suit anyone. We particularly noticed the rich and flavorful seasonings that are NOT salt centered! The three of us traded bits of the house burger, the beef short rib, and the halibut, and still had some to take home for snacks. New to the Auburn dining scene, we will definitely return to try the duck confit, the big kid cheese sandwich and soup, and the beet salad.
