    Breakfast menu
    Tracy D.

    A solid breakfast joint. Friendly staff. Service was fast and impeccable. Their pancakes are light, fluffy, and tasty! Eggs are fresh and cooked to your liking. My husband ordered their corned beef hash and enjoyed it. Someone in our party ordered the chorizo, which was more of an Americanized version of chorizo so I would not get that again. The interior of the cafe is quaint and a throw back in time to a point it feels real, as if I will see people walk in dressed in a different era. This is something you don't get often enough these days as most restaurants are remodeled and modern.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. It is a local place everyone there is from town. Everyone was very kind and nice to all of us. There cinnamon bun was the best. Will definitely we will comeback when in Medford.

    Stopped by Tap & Vine @ 559 since I was in town. It's located in Tinseltown- a cute, outdoor…read moreshopping mall in Medford, Oregon. I got the honey mustard encrusted pan seared salmon. It was delicious! Fresh salmon, tangy coating and earthy, buttery asparagus. The Yukon gold mashed potatoes were crispy, salty and savory- great starch addition to the meal. My friends got the shoestring fries, steak bites, and bbq platter. Everything was delicious! My favorite of what they god being the BBQ ends with the Mac & cheese with breadcrumbs. So creamy and satisfying. The barbecue was juicy, saucy and tender. The service was fabulous. Tanishia M took care of us nicely. She was attentive, kind and conversational, made the experience even better!

    This was my second time eating at Tap & Vine, and we returned because of how good we remembered it…read morewas when we first visited in 2024. What I remember most is how nice the place looked -- it has a fun mix of modern and rustic decor and very clean restrooms! My husband and I ordered the shareable mac and cheese along with two entrees, the Green Goddess salad and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with tater tots. The portion sizes were very generous. I appreciated that they gave us two small plates to split the mac and cheese, and by the time we got to our entrees, we were already getting a little full! For the salad, I really appreciated how well-seasoned and prepared the tofu was. The tofu had a nice light, crisp coating and was flavorful, and the salad had a nice mix of crunchy cucumbers and lettuce mixed with sliced grape tomatos, feta, and red onions. The salad was not over-dressed and made it easy to take home leftovers. My husband also enjoyed his sandwich, being the second time he has ordered it. The chicken is crispy and well-seasoned. I especially liked the tater tots -- no greasiness and just the right amount of salt. Our waitress was super sweet and kind checking up on us as well. Highly recommend and definitely a place I would come back to on our annual Medford family visits!

    Another excellent visit and a new menu! Randy chose to try the Summer Campanelle (I'll attach a pic…read moreof the menus so you can see what's in it) as well as the burrata again for his appetizer. I chose the mushroom bolognese and the asparagus appetizer. The food was excellent although Randy and I switched meals because he didn't enjoy the puree on his dish as much as I did so I ate his summer campanelle and he ate my bolognese and we were both very happy customers. The burrata was very good and I loved (LOVED) my asparagus. Everything was flavorful and fresh - and who doesn't love homemade pasta. For dessert we got the strawberries and cream and the chocolate mousse. We shared both because who doesn't love strawberries with their chocolate mousse! We didn't get a pic of it but Randy got a drink similar to the one he got on our last visit but this one was grapefruit and very refreshing and delish. We sat on the patio again. It was warm when we first got there (5 pm) but definitely cooled down as time went on. Kyle was our server tonight. I'll start by saying you can't go wrong with any of the staff that serve or give refills or deliver the food (when they deliver it, they sometimes describe the dish and it's awesome). Anyway, as per usual on our visits, Kyle was excellent, checked on us often. Looking forward to our next visit in October!

    TL;DR: the service and menu are inconsistent. Some nights really good, some nights not. Mistakes…read morewere made by multiple aspects of the restaurant and a member of our party who communicated very clearly that she has Celiac was served a dish with bread. I truly want to like this restaurant, but I have had some really mixed experiences. The ambiance is very nice - it can get a little loud in the dining room, but the tables are comfortable, the lighting is appropriate, and the decor is interesting. The wine list is phenomenal and the reason I brought friends on my most recent visit. The menu is really hit and miss. There are some dishes that are excellent (some things even sell out before the evening is over), but unfortunately, not all. The hostess is absolutely wonderful - she is charming and funny and really has a talent for making you feel welcome and appreciated for dining with them. Unfortunately, the service is really hit and miss. On my last visit, the waitress really didn't seem like she had time for us. She didn't take the time to explain in much detail about menu items or the wine list. She didn't participate in any banter with us or really make us feel welcome. She seemed rushed, which has not been my experience with service here in the past. My biggest concern, though, is about the efforts of the staff and kitchen to keep items allergen-free. The restaurant advertises itself as a place that is Celiac knowledgeable and friendly. We made it clear in our reservation and to the waitress when we sat down at the table that one member of our party had Celiac and needed to be strictly gluten free. All seemed well and we ordered two appetizers marked as gluten free on the menu. One of those appetizers was served with bread. After the food had been delivered, the waitress must have noticed the issue and offered to have the kitchen remake the dish. We agreed (she left the original plate on the table and in the end we were only charged for one, so all good). The re-made dish was brought out, with bread on the side. There should not have been bread at all, it was very confusing. All in all I would return one more time and hope to have a different experience, but if that experience was the same as my recent one, I likely would not return.
