    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!

    Excellent food - We will definitely go back. So many things on the menu I want to try. There were 6 of us and we all loved the food. Cauliflower bites, potato skewer thing with parmesan (forget what it is called on menu), fish sandwich, teriyaki tofu all excellent. We were there during Blink so it was a very hectic evening for all, but the staff handled it well.
