During our visit for a birthday party dinner, we enjoyed duck wings with a tangy and spicy sauce, roasted Brussels sprouts, lobster with couscous, sea bass, and crusted chicken with Dijon sauce. The sea bass, lobster, and Brussels sprouts were particularly delicious. We shared it like family style. To add, they had a hot wine selection but we brought our own wine and champagne. The staff provided excellent service, being friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a bar area and outdoor seating for a more casual experience, overall it has nice decor. However, the area by the bathroom had an unpleasant odor similar to dog urine. All in all, a pleasant dining experience. I would highly recommend.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Stopped at Vine Restaurant & Bar on a drive from LAX to San Diego after spotting it on OpenTable, and it was a great find. Just a couple minutes off the freeway in a charming part of San Clemente, with easy parking out front. The wine-by-the-glass selection was excellent. I ordered the fish special, a trout perfectly cooked in butter and lemon over grain rice. The flavors were clean, bright, and really well balanced. Dessert was an oatmeal cookie ice cream creation that was outstanding. My friend who normally skips sweets demolished it. Service was friendly, attentive, and exactly what you’d hope for. As the sun went down, candlelight gave the space a warm, romantic feel. I felt slightly underdressed in yoga pants fresh off a flight, but it still felt welcoming. I’ll definitely be back.

Trusted my google search for a place to eat and ended up here. The food was good and the service was superb. The vibe here was very cozy and friendly. I highly recommend and they have a cozy bar to hang at. The burger was good too but I ate it before I could take a photo of it. Haha
