    Really wanted to love this place but was disappointed. Got seated in the "wine cellar" and didn't get to enjoy the ambiance of the beautiful castle. Food was good, very pricey. Service was good but slow! May try again but not during the holidays!

    Our dinner and staff were all wonderful. And the atmosphere is perfect for a special date night. The portions are big so make sure you bring your appetite. We will definitely be back during warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor seating area.

    This is the third time we have been to The Wandering Vine. Each experience has been wonderful! The owners are so very nice, the food is always excellent, our servers always attentive and the ambiance so beautiful! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a special evening out or just a change of pace.

    This place was just very odd from the very beginning. The woman who seated us was intense and I have never quite experienced anything like it. Started the whole experience off on an uncomfortable level. Our server was great and personable. The food was ok but not great especially for the price. Interesting night but no plans to go back.

    Very solid restaurant. The men is fairly limited as is the case with most steak places. The Arctic Char received high marks as did the Fairyland chicken. The building is beautiful with great ambiance.

    Very special high tea experience! Delicious food and a gorgeous atmosphere inside a castle. A variety of small bites and sweets, large selections of teas, and a lovely Christmas cocktail. Already making plans for Valentine’s Day!

    The Royal Tea was a lovely experience. All the food was delicious. The edible chocolate mousse cup was my favorite dessert, although I could have eaten a dozen of the cranberry puffs. The egg salad was delicious and I’d come back for a meal of it. Asparagus finger sandwich was wonderful and unusual. Nice selection of teas available. You can have coffee or a soft drink instead, but what is high tea without tea? There is also a nice menu of wine and alcoholic drinks available. The setting in the castle is perfect for high tea.

    Loved the ambiance, service and our family loved their food. We dined for brunch and the castle is beautifully decorated for the holidays. Enjoyed the mimosas, coffee, pastry sampler and deviled eggs for appetizer. Our family loved their steak and eggs and the frittata which were nice portion sizes. We ordered the avocado toast which was grossly overpriced and missing the majority of toppings that it was supposed to have. It was basically some avocado mousse on top of Texas toast with a few sprigs of spinach for $17. It was missing roasted chickpeas, good hearty bread, tomatoes, arugula & radishes. The server offered no other options at this point and we greatly overpayed for this as well as the fruit cup which was a chopped apple with 3 blackberries. Not even comped for missing the majority of ingredients! All that said, I would recommend it for meat & egg lovers as those items were very nice and the ambiance is super cool.
