Vine Restaurant & Bar

Great food great experience love this place… Even eating out under the tents was a great experience. Very professional! I hope you stay open!

We are new to San Clemente, having come here from NYC. Our palates are pretty spoiled from the abundance of amazing options in the city, so we have been searching for really good food here. Vine Restaurant & Bar is a fabulous find! Their burger is the best in town, the truffle mac n' cheese is so rich and tasty, and their wine list (even by the glass) is sure to please. They accommodated us with a dish of their homemade apple cobbler ice cream (rather than the whole dessert that came with it) and it was just perfect. Couple all this with the outstanding and attentive service with a smile, and we have our new favorite neighborhood spot!! Let me not forget to mention - the outdoor tent they've set up to comply with no indoor dining offers cozy, cheerful ambience. Can't wait to go back as soon as the lockdown ends!

Always the best experience!!!

great service, entree's and appetizers. The staff was lovely

One of my most favorite restaurants. Amazing food, kind and professional staff and great owners, making this restaurant a high end, yet very comfortable, low key and fun place. Highly recommend it and everything on that menu is just great.

We sat at a darling outdoor table with a heater that kept us warm. The ambiance was very nice. The service was great. My dinner was delicious. I had the rib eye and took half of it home. It was excellent the next day as a leftover. However, my husband had the chicken snitchel and did not like it. He had never had that item at any restaurant before trying it here. My daughter ordered the sea bass and did not like it. She often orders it at other restaurants.

What a lovely evening we had at Vine!!! Food was outstanding....best bone in rib eye in town.....brussel sprouts were awesome garnished with walnuts....fried green tomatoes a very different and tasty dish....sea bass enter cooked perfectly garnished with lots of veggies.... Waitress Carrie was totally awesome! Oh and cocktails crafted by Becca were the best in town...

Everything was loverly. The service and the food were outstanding!

Food was excellent
Drinks too pricey

Get the short ribs. Order a smoke show. Go home and sleep.

We love Vine. Food is consistently amazing as is the staff. Highly recommend.

Great food and service! The outdoor patio was warm and comfortable

I went with three friends to celebrate two birthdays. We started with four appetizers, mac & cheese, brussel sprouts, fried green tomatoes and a Caesar salad. All four were delicious. The entrees were good, but the sides were all lukewarm, the polenta, mashed potatoes and pasta that came with the entrees. The one entree I was excited about, the bone in rib eye was a disappointment. It was not tender and not seasoned enough. Other than that, we enjoyed the night. We were comped with a delicious creme brûlée and chocolate cake which were good.

First time I had been there and it was a lovely experience. We had oysters, the pork belly and the fried green tomatoes appetizers and they were all delicious. For main I had the sea bass and it was cooked perfectly. This is a great place, can't wait to go back.

Mouthwatering short ribs!

I highly recommend the Vine, I indulged the chef specialty.

evening specialties always excellent canot go wrong on the chicken

As always great all around

We had such a nice time that our friend want to fly his wife in and take her here to show her how cool San Clemente is.

Great experience as always!

My husband and I went there for our Anniversary, our first time there. We sat at the bar and was serviced by the best bartender ever!! His name was Chris. He doted on us and made our dinning experience the best!! Food awesome. Service awesome. Atmosphere awesome! A definite must try! We can’t wait to go back!!!

Foods good. They got a few things wrong on our order an

Everything was delicious

We loved our meal at Vine - go, it’s wonderful!!!

Joshua was our server and from the moment we arrived he ensured we had a lovely evening. We had two birthdays at our table and he made sure that they received just the right amount of extra attention.

The food was excellent. I had the trout special. Others had the salmon, always a good choice and the short ribs, equally delicious. The Vine is my favorite special occasion restaurant and they did not disappoint.

I also felt they took all COVID precautions and it was a safe dining experience.

Sea bass was good, special rock Cornish game hen could have been cooked more

Excellent all the way around! Food was great, service was great.

Ate outdoors in their covered area. Very nice setup. Cozy. Food was outstanding. One of our party got the sea bass, one got the salmon and the other two got the special which was a short rib ragu over pappardelle. All were excellent as was the meat and cheese board and the cocktails

It is always a pleasant experience dining at Vine

Excellent service!!! Ate outside and felt well spaced. Perfect weather too! Food, as always, was wonderful. Had an appetizer with goat cheese, apricot and balsamic vinegar that was fantastic!!!

Consistently amazing!
Never disappointed with this restaurant.
Lots of temporary outdoor seating for COVID-19 restrictions.
Can be noisy inside when full because dining area is on the small side.

Joshua was our waiter and he was wonderful. We were treated like valued customers even though it was our first visit. We will be going back for sure!

Margaritas we ordered for $14 were extremely underwhelming. Honestly didn’t taste any tequila. My wife’s scallop plate was really good but the short rib plate had absolutely no seasoning and was very bland. I wanted to say something but I didn’t and now I regret it. Very disappointed, especially with how pricey their food and drinks are. Probably won’t be going back for a long long time. Bummed because we were very excited to eat there.

Awesome variety and preparation of food, great service. Waiters were on top of everything and food was fresh and perfect. Excellent cocktails and selection. Highly recommend

As always, great food, the pumpkin ravioli appetizer was amazing, the scallops were perfect, and I always love a good Rescue Dog.

It was great, celebrating 23 yrs and from beginning to end was amazing.

First time going to Vine and it won’t be the last.
Service was above and beyond and very helpful and knowledgeable about the Wine and foods on their menu. The Chilean Sea bass was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. Their outdoor dinning area was set up very nice and that ambience made you forget that we were sitting outside in what used to be their parking lot.
I excellent experience!!

Great place for special occasions! The service and food was delicious.

Vine is always one of our favorites in South Orange County.

Great evening with excellent food and service! Outside patio area is very nicely done.
