    I have been eating at Vines for many years. So, I am sad to say that I was disheartened this last time and I will not return. We had reservations for noon and arrived early. We were greeted very cooly, without eye contact or a smile, and led to a table. The server seemed very busy and rushed by several times and finally took our order in a hurried fashion. The food was lousy. Dry turkey sandwich with 3 very thick slices of turkey. I couldn't get my mouth around it, so I removed 2 slices. It was flavorless. The bread was fresh and the sweet potato fries okay. My friend's flatbread was soggy and unappetizing. It just seems like the quality and hospitality has gone downhill.

    One of the few places near the capitol you can have an early morning quality breakfast. Higher priced than the normal breakfast places, but reliably good. Services is friendly and on top of it. Recommend reservations in case a convention is in town.

    The food was really good (but fries were lukewarm). The servers took quite a while to take our order unfortunately, and forgot some requests I.e. lemon with the Pepsi, side of mayo for the fries.

    Food had to be sent back. Pasta dish was a barely warm glob of oversauce congealed cheese and pasta. The service was almost non-existent. I have eaten at this restaurant several times but food and service have never been this bad.

    Good food and nice ambiance. Great place to meet and have a meal before seeing a play at the theater. The service was fantastic, drinks and food were very good.
