Best Restaurants with Great Beer in I Drive / Sand Lake

I reserved a table for six without telling my party about the entertainment. They were pleasantly surprised and we had a great time. Staff is very attentive and the food was great!

What an excellent upscale neighborhood wine bar and bistro! My friend made reservations for us based on a previous visit here and said I needed to see how great this establishment is. She was absolutely on point! The ambiance is incredible and the set up inside is fun and inviting. The bar itself is quite unique with its zigzag design, which allows a number of people to converse easily. The owner, Deborah Linden, is the owner of this great wine bar. She worked with an architect 9 years ago in developing the concept and it is something to see and experience! Deborah came to our table at the end of our meal and provided us with details of the place and asked us about our visit. She even introduced us to Chef Blake to discuss our appetizers and meal. (More about the incredible food by Chef Blake to follow!) First, no restaurant or bar can be rated 5 stars without an exceptional staff and Vineyard has this down pat. Alex and Ireland were attentive, fun and great conversationalists. It was like we became friends with them once the night was over. Their service was impeccable. We started off with two glasses of the Argyle Bloom Pinot Noir. Alex said it was one of her favorite wines and it became ours, too. We order a bottle soon thereafter. Now, for the food. I did not expect a wine bar and bistro to have such incredible and delicious menu items. We decided to share a number of items so that we could get a well-rounded taste of the menu. We started off with the Polynesian steak skewers, as recommended by Alex. The sauce was a mixture of orange and pineapple and certain spices, providing just the right amount of sweetness to the steak. The skewers were a special that night, but I'm happy to report they will be a regular item on the menu in the future. My friend had the Vineyard Grilled Cheese on her first visit and said we must order it again. The combination of apricot jam, thick bacon slices and brie on a toasted sour dough bread finished with balsamic glaze was heaven

Pizza was delicious and the strawberry shortcake pizookie was amazing. Service was very friendly. I would come here again.

If you’re looking for bar food and sports… you found it.

The wings and yucca fries were great! Service was amazing, we sat outside by the pool “Froze all day” wine slushie was 10000/10 so good
