We'll be sad to see this place go! We asked why the limited Menu today, and only as of 11am and the servers told us they're closing River Vine down in 2 weeks after the actual John Ash restaurant is done with construction updates. The full menu supposedly will return then, and I sure hope there will be a Patio again too - walked by the back and it looks like there will be. River Vine has awesome servers and upon asking they said they're safe, will be transferring to JA.

I saw so many good reviews so I thought I’d check this place out, and was really excited. Honestly, a pretty big let down. I ordered the strawberry Bellini… I didn’t know you could make a basic drink taste so bad. It was presented very beautifully, but I couldn’t take more than two sips (yes, I enjoy prosecco, and no, it wasn’t because the alcohol was too strong for me)— a little disappointed that they didn’t offer to take it off my bill or offer me a different drink. The food was alright, but not worth the price. I enjoyed the french toast, which had a beautiful presentation— although still not my favorite. There was some sort of overpowering flavor to my omelette and potatoes that I can’t quite put my finger on. It wasn’t inedible, it just was…off. Again, I didn’t know a simple dish could be disappointing. The staff were very polite, and I don’t think the service was any slower than most restaurants. I paid overall $70+ which wasn’t bad considering it was a winery and how I ordered two dishes, but the food was just not worth the price. Perhaps I just don’t have a sophisticated enough palate, but I’d like to believe that I can usually tell the difference between a well-made dish that happens to not fit my personal taste, versus something that just doesn’t taste very good— especially since I ordered very basic options. Unfortunately wouldn’t go back for a second shot.

Four of us went for breakfast on Christmas day. We were looking for an upscale restaurant for our traditional breakfast out with another couple. I did not realize that it would be a price-fix menu. Because of the limited menu items and dietary limitations, I needed to invent an egg with vegetable dish. Their country breakfast had eggs, sausage, potatoes, and toast. But since I did not eat sausage and they offered no gluten-free bread, I needed to think fast about whether I wanted to eat breakfast for $38. I asked the server if we could add vegetables to make an omelet. The chef created a delicious meal of eggs with spinach, onions, and mushrooms, a serving of baby-roasted potatoes, and a side of fruit substituted for the toast. It was fantastic.

Food was very good as were the menu options. Food and drinks came relatively quick. Servers were busy so didn’t get coffee refills until leaving. Okay so it’s winter, but missed sitting outdoors. Having a hard time adjusting to menu inflation $.

Our experiapence was colored by the terrible seating we received. First we were offered a table for two which we would have had to squeeze into. The. We were offered a table near an outside door. We were assured that the door would not be used, however it was used three times during our meal. This was particularly irritating as there were open 4 tops the entire time we were there.

Started off with a miss, sat 20 min without a greeting and water. But once we were served everything was flawless after that. We will be back

The ricotta pancakes are back and they are lovely. The French toast is also delicious. Service and food both met great expectations. Really wonderful place for a high level breakfast, brunch and lunch at an impressive value.

What a lovely venue. Service was very good. I had the Huevos Rancheros, my husband had the ham eggs Benedict and the fruit bowl. The Huevos were not the best. The tortillas were not crispy, but soggy. Also, there was a STRONG Rosemary flavor to about half of the huevos, as if they had a rosemary infused oil that spilled on to half of the huevos. Not good. My husband's Benedict utilized the Chipotle hollandaise sauce on one half of the Benedict (not the other - weird) which was spicy, even though the menu said it was a lemon hollandaise sauce. My husband cannot tolerate spice. Also, the potatoes served with the Benedict were STRONGLY flavored with Rosemary, and were inedible (IMHO). Maybe we went on an off day. The venue itself is lovely. I think they need a new chef, however.
