Vines Grille & Wine Bar

Lamb chop lollipop 🔥🔥🔥 The fennel salad was a perfect balance of acidity and the beet hummus just brought everything home. I remember refusing to come back to Vines for the longest, but after they went under new ownership, the changes have been night and day. The quality and service has done a 180 and it's exponentially better now. Do yourself a solid. If you're in central Florida, check out Vines

What I like? Love the atmosphere and apps are great. I visit to taste wine and have had some good house wines when visiting. What they could improve? The service. Sometimes I have a fabulous server, sometimes I have one that I rarely see or hear from. My favorite server was one in training! She did an outstanding job. In fact, I look for her whenever I visit. Unfortunately, she is not always available to serve. What have I been concerned about? My credit card was charged ~$10 more than I signed for. In fact, the charge on my card came through the following day for an amount different than my actual bill. Unfortunately, I was traveling on business and was not available to return to the restaurant to show them the discrepancy and have my CC appropriately credited. Will I return and do I recommend? Yes and yes but I will be very cautious with my credit card. I am so glad I had asked for a paper receipt or I would not have had proof of the error. I recommend you ask for a paper receipt and reconcile it with your credit card right away.

Very pleased with the food at the restaurant. Here are a few of our favorites from the selection: • Artichoke Bruschetta • Hong Kong Seared Salmon • Broccolini • Desserts: Carrot Cake, Créme Brûlée, and Chocolate Cake (all amazing) We came with a large group and it took quite a bit of time to get the appetizers out and take our orders; I realize understaffing is an issue in the industry. My only recommendation would be to have the apps ready and take drink orders as quickly as possible especially when receiving a large group with known reservation. Delicious food, thank you!

Amazing service and amazing food. Met there for a business meeting and brought our families. Our servers Fallon and Jay were very attentive and even brought out a sparkler dessert for my daughter’s bday. The manager, Luis, checked in as well which was nice and the chef, Justice, was incredible. Definitely try the octopus and steak. Literally everyone was happy with their meal.

Just wanted to drop a quick review on Vines for my company’s first and lasting impression. We reserved a company meeting for last night at Vines. Upon arrival we were escorted to an elegant private room with mood lighting then seated immediately. The waiter took our drink order and within minutes we had them in our hands from the new VIP Vines Bar. The appetizers were mouth watering and they kept coming. Absolutely the best chef prepared entree and service I’ve ever experienced bar none! - Thanks to the entire Vines Staff for a memorable evening. We’ll be back!

Been coming to this place for years, seems there has been a change in management and it clearly shows. Busy night and no hostess at front, the food thankfully is still of great quality, drink options continue to be good, and the live music ambiance is a plus to this venues reputation. My server was “Jennifer” , she seemed to make up all in great ways for any of the faulty changes I noticed. She was very friendly, talkative, she was busy but didn’t make us feel rushed at all, explained the menu and constantly checked up on our table ( great way to make someone feel welcomed ) The bar staff, not so much, lady with tatted arm making drinks seemed frustrated and not happy being there, she was asked for a specific liquor which Vines didn’t have, when we asked her for suggestions and a drop of a taste of something else, she said “really” we don’t do that here and felt forced to give us a drop of the liquor she suggested. Small gestures as this is what gives great places a not so good reputation.
