Overall a wonderful experience and will be happy to return! My husband & I visited Honey & Vine on a Sunday evening at 9pm (they close at 10). We were greeted with a warm welcome and seated promptly- the hostess even asked whether we prefer a booth or a table (a very nice gesture considering the restaurant was quite empty). Our server, Viktoriia, was attentive, professional, and kind. I had some minor dietary restrictions as I recently had my wisdom teeth removed, and was looking for some softer food options. She answered all of my questions and accommodated wonderfully!! We started out with the Honey Whipped Feta appetizer (the sourdough bread was pretty toasty so our server was so kind to also give some pieces that were not toasted for me!) it was absolutely delicious and a generous portion size. Would definitely order again. Hubby enjoyed the filet which was cooked to his liking and a nice cut. We are usually quite hesitant to try steaks in restaurants that do not necessarily specialize in meats but we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality here. I ordered the creamy mascarpone polenta and sautéed spinach & kale- (soft and easy to eat) they are both "sides" and were generously portioned. A bit lackluster as far as seasoning goes but nevertheless, still tasty. We also enjoyed a few glasses of wine- the overall selection is not as extensive as some places but the options they do have are great. Pretty good dessert options as well but we opted to save that for another night! The ambience of the restaurant was so enjoyable- the color scheme is refreshing and the layout is very open and looks beautiful! We were very lucky to have had the place to ourselves. During a busy dinner rush, I can see how the place may feel a bit cramped. We finished up dinner around 9:50pm (10 minutes before closing) but were never rushed or felt pressured to leave. A very pleasant experience for a couple of picky diners. Looking forward to another experience here and hope the quality and service remains...
Read moreWent here for a family night out and it just kept getting more and more unimpressive as our dinner went on. Our waiter was nice but slow. The restaurant was pretty empty but drinks and food took forever to come out; We were enjoying each other’s company so we kindly waited. When you go to a high end restaurant, you expect a certain quality of food and when our food came out, we were all pretty hesitant. There were 7 of us and we ALL looked at each other like “Wait? Is this really our food?”. We were all hungry because over an hour had passed since we were seated. We tried but only 1 meal was finished. One plate was a steak ordered medium well that came out completely cold and raw in the middle. That plate was sent back then it returned only to be cooked slightly more. After it was brought back to the table the manager said she was going to “wait and watch” while we ate to make sure everything was to our liking. We just said we didn’t want it anymore. At this point, we knew dinner was a lost cause. The bisque tasted like tomato paste in a bowl, the steak was VERY undercooked, the scallops were chewy, the Caesar salad is not a Caesar, there was bad lettuce in the salad, and the rice was incredibly crunchy like they threw it in a pot of water and then immediately took it out and served it. To make matters worse, when asked how dinner was, we explained how things could definitely improve and instead of comping any of our terrible $400 bill, we were offered a “comment card” that was a little mini satisfaction survey and what they could do better.
Bottom line, we will absolutely never go back. Nor recommend this...
Read moreWe went for New Years Eve dinner. Our drink order was taken at the same time as our food order. It took more than 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive and about thirty minutes for the food. My son in law order the prime rib. It lacked flavor but at least was cooked to the requested doneness. He swore his baked potato was microwaved. I ordered the steak medium rare, and it came almost blue rare. Rather than sending it back, I took it home to finish cooking. I wasn't crazy about the offered sides, so i ordered a side salad. It was served after my steak. I requested that they not put butter on my steak. When it arrived with the butter on it, the server told me to hurry and remove it before it totally melted into the meat. My daughter ordered the hamburger which came with potato chips. Meat, cheese, and bread. No condiments were offered. No lettuce, tomato, or onion was included. It was dry and also lacked flavor. $185 plus tip later. I think we should have definitely gone somewhere else. Save your time and money. Go somewhere else. The Hideout in Casa Grande has much better food, nicer staff, better service, and more reasonable prices .For a restaurant that is trying to put on a boutique high status air, they have a really...
