Dena our server was super friendly and a good sport about dry January! Enjoyed the atmosphere but it’s super chilly sitting near the windows! We ran out of time before our show and ended up getting soup and salad. Both were delicious but I want to go back to try an actual meal. The plates they were carrying out looked lovely! Definitely a place I’ll come back to!

Five on Vine exceeded our expectations. We were celebrating a birthday and they made us feel so special. We started the evening with the OTR Beef Wellington which was so flavorful. We then proceeded to ordered the casear salad and clam chowder. The clam chowder was my favorite thing of the evening. For our entrees we got the cioppino "Fishermen's stew" which was loaded with delicious seafood and the vodka pasta. Both were outstanding. We were too full to sample the desserts but we will be back!
