In June we were moving my mother in law from New York to Minnesota by car! After a long day of driving we stopped in Elkhart for a much needed reprieve to rest for the night. Looking thru many dismal dinner choices in town I came across The Vine on a Google search. After reading the menu and knowing my mother in law's preferences I knew this is where we needed to go. The issue being they were scheduled to close for the evening 10 minutes after we arrived in town! I thought to myself I'll just run in and ask if they would make 1 more order; even if it had to be takeout it would work. I walked up to the bar area and was greeted by a very friendly young man that immediately said he would ask his manager to see if they could accommodate my request. Seconds later Jeanne the owner came out and in a very friendly and professional way told me they would help me out. This was truly a miracle. Her kitchen staff had been working hard all day due to a jazz festival down the street but she said YES! Without hesitation she quickly went back to mobilize her staff and get my large order started. The young man at the bar continued to chat with me and provided me a large ice water while I waited. A Godsend after the day in the car. Within 20 minutes all of our food was prepared, superbly packaged, and labeled. They even offered to help me carry the multiple bags and pizza boxes to my car! Here's the most important part of this long story...THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING! My wife ordered a filet mignon and it was cooked to the perfect temp and exceptional quality. My very particular mother in law RAVED about her Mahi Mahi. Saying it was better than many plates she's had even in New York... and we all know true New Yorkers can sometimes be hard to please. Everything from the salad starters to the side dishes were all perfectly seasoned and prepared with a true appreciation for cooking. I can't believe I'm saying this but we may go back to Elkhart for a weekend away just to dine here again! Jeanne's 20+ years in the restaurant business is evident in this restaurant. The atmosphere, the food, the service, everything, absolutely everything is top notch. Get in the car and go there tonight... you will not be disappointed.
