Food Quality Issues
Several reviewers have expressed disappointment with the food quality at Vines Pasta Grill & Bar. The pasta was reportedly cold, congealed, and unappetizing, and the lasagna tasted like store-bought, pre-made. The veggie pizza was also described as gross, with large chunks of vegetables that were not appealing. The complimentary bread was hard as rock and difficult to cut.
Portion Sizes and Pricing
One reviewer mentioned that the portion sizes are very small, which is a departure from the restaurant's previous reputation for large portions. The prices are also considered to be on the high side, making it a less appealing option for some customers.
Service Issues
Some reviewers experienced slow service, with long waits for bread and water. One reviewer's partner ordered a coke and did not receive it by the time they left. The staff was also seen giving water fill-ups instead of attending to the customers' needs.
Atmosphere
The restaurant's atmosphere was described as extremely echoey, making it difficult to have a peaceful meal. The noise level is also exacerbated by the presence of children and babies.
Positive Experiences
On the other hand, several reviewers had positive experiences at Vines Pasta Grill & Bar. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about ingredients, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. The food was described as delicious, and the service was exceptional in some cases. The gluten-free options were particularly praised.
