We had a reservation on Christmas Day . We arrived at our scheduled time and we were seated promptly. Hostess was really friendly and wished us a Merry Christmas. Our server, Savanna was super friendly and gracious. I ordered salmon and my sister had the eggplant parmigiana. Food came to the table pretty quick and everything was hot and delicious. It’s a little pricey for an everyday outing, but it was perfect for a special occasion. Would definitely recommend it.

This was our first time at Mary’s Vine, but won’t be the last. The food was excellent, as were the cocktails. Our server, explained everything about the menu and assisted us in choosing wine to go with our meals. It was a little noisy as there was a large party celebrating a birthday, but other than that, we had a most enjoyable evening. It was the perfect was to begin the Christmas holiday!

I met a friend for dinner on a Thursday night and we had a great time catching up. The food is delicious, the service prompt, warm, and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy. Parking can be somewhat of a bear, but Lucca's is worth that relatively small inconvenience.
