Amazing food, friendly and energetic staff that will be missed, such a great vibe in Delco. Had such an eclectic feel, food and specialty cocktails were always top notch in quality and value. Happy that we were able to make both Friday and Saturday nights! Best wishes to an amazing crew in their future endeavors.

Wanted to have one last meal before they close on Sat 3/8. Sorry to see this little gem go; from the appetizers to the desserts to their fabulous cocktails, it was a welcome addition to Swarthmore and a favorite get together w friends. I hope the owners/chefs find a new landing place because their talents should not be wasted!

Fun night out at Village Vine. We wanted to experience the vibe one more time before they close on March 8th. Finally got the chance to have the delicious chicken sandwich which has now ruined me for any other chicken sandwich....none will ever come close to being that good! Good luck Chef in your next endeavor!
