4/5 Callie B. 8 months ago on Google
Quick
takeaways:
over
$300
for
2
people,
food
lacked
taste,
but
a
very
cool
experience.
We
found
Mary’s
Vine
on
a
whim
based
off
of
Google
recommendations
and
availability
on
OpenTable.
I
had
booked
a
reservation
for
08/18/2023
on
OpenTable
for
their
bar
seating.
Upon
our
arrival,
we
were
promptly
greeted
by
the
valet
who
told
us
how
to
get
into
the
restaurant.
The
hostess
was
very
nice
and
walked
us
to
our
seat
at
the
bar.
We
were
there
for
about
2
hours
and
we
had
the
bar
seating
to
ourselves.
The
restaurant
had
patrons
but
there
were
empty
seats.
SERVICE
-
5/5:
Our
server,
Cheryl,
was
super
attentive,
polite,
and
held
a
great
conversation.
She
wasn’t
overly
nosey,
and
was
super
helpful
with
the
iPad
menu.
She
went
over
the
history
of
the
building
when
we
had
inquired
and
did
a
really
great
job
of
pacing
our
meal.
She
was
very
knowledge
about
the
Church,
menu,
and
especially
the
wines.
Fantastic
service.
FOOD
-
overall
2/5
-
severely
lacked
flavor:
1.
Taste
of
Italy
charcuterie
-
3/5:
the
cheese
and
pesto
were
phenomenal.
They
gave
a
small
loaf
of
bread
that
was
sliced
thin
and
bad
balsamic
which
was
great
but
I
honestly
wished
they
cut
it
all
the
way
through
instead
of
us
having
to
rip
it
apart.
The
olives
were
delicious.
As
for
the
meats
of
the
plate,
I’m
not
sure
why
they
didn’t
just
do
prosciutto
or
salami..
it
was
like
mortadella
or
something
that
I
feel
like
people
would
typically
be
put
off
by..
weird
choice.
This
appetizer
was
great
for
2
people.
2.
Chilean
Sea
Bass
-
2/5:
I
can
say
that
this
was
probably
one
of
the
best
cooked
pieces
of
fish
I’ve
ever
had.
It
had
the
right
amount
of
sear
and
flaked
off
with
a
fork
HOWEVER,
the
whole
dish
lacked
flavor.
The
Sea
Bass
had
0
flavor,
not
even
salt.
The
risotto
just
tasted
bland
and
the
veggies
needed
to
be
cooked
about
3
minutes
longer
so
they
were
tender.
I
had
to
cut
the
carrots
with
a
butter
knife
they
were
that
hard.
I
wanted
to
love
this
dish
but
it
was
bland.
It
also
came
out
at
luke-warm
temperature
which
was
disappointing.
3.
NY
Strip
Steak
-
2/5:
again,
severely
lacking
any
sort
of
flavor.
It
was
cooked
to
perfection
(medium)
but
there
was
nothing
in
the
sauce
that
made
it
stand
out.
They
also
may
want
to
reconsider
the
plating
-
it
came
in
a
bowl
which
made
it
extremely
difficult
to
cut
according
to
my
husband.
4.
Chocolate
Dessert
-
2/5:
no
sweetness
whatsoever.
Very
bland.
MIXED
DRINKS
-
overall
5/5:
1.
Old
Fashioned
2.
Bourbon
espresso
martini
-
both
were
very
flavorful
and
made
perfectly.
The
espresso
martini
was
chilled
to
a
beautiful
temperature.
WINE
-
overall
5/5
for
experience:
1.
Grilling
Season
Wine
Flight
2.
Taste
of
France
Wine
Flight
-
both
were
great
flights
BUT
the
price
points
of
the
wine
flights
were
enough
to
give
you
a
heart
attack.
The
minimum
for
a
flight
was
$55
and
ranged
to
over
$150…
im
sorry
but
for
the
location
of
this
restaurant
and
the
pour,
that’s
absurd
(another
big
named
restaurant
does
a
wine
flight
for
$65
for
caymus
wines).
The
price
per
bottle
or
glass
was
also
extremely
painful.
I
get
they’re
trying
to
turn
a
profit
but
they
won’t
get
people
in
the
door
with
those
prices.
Would
we
return?
MAYBE.
The
food
is
seriously
lacking
in
flavor
and
depth,
the
location
is
not
in
the
best
neighborhood,
but
the
overall
experience
and
customer
service
were
wonderful.
They
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
this
restaurant
but
the
execution
and
prices
need
some
refinement
before
we’d
return.
