    Five on Vine exceeded our expectations. We were celebrating a birthday and they made us feel so special. We started the evening with the OTR Beef Wellington which was so flavorful. We then proceeded to ordered the casear salad and clam chowder. The clam chowder was my favorite thing of the evening. For our entrees we got the cioppino "Fishermen's stew" which was loaded with delicious seafood and the vodka pasta. Both were outstanding. We were too full to sample the desserts but we will be back!

    We had a great time last night (1/4/25) celebrating my husband’s birthday with friends. Our server was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. The espresso martinis were delicious and we enjoyed the tomato creole soup, blue cheese chips, and shrimp cocktail. Our entrees were equally delicious and the portions were so large for the price - a great value! We got a free dessert to celebrate the birthday and the carrot cake was DEVINE. If we weren’t going out after, we definitely would have packed up the leftovers for home. We look forward to coming back soon with our kids!

    Our reservation for 10 was at 7pm and we arrived about 25 minutes early, but the staff was ready and we were seated right away. Our waiter was extremely attentive and very professional. The food options are diverse and not your normal menu items, which we liked. The food itself.. delicious. We’ll definitely be back 👌🏻

    I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.
