The ambience was nice and the service was decent. The menu, particularly the entrees, seemed a little pricey for the area but the food we had was all good. Havre De Grace is a small waterfront town, so I have to say that considering the context and location, our dinner was really quite good and exceeded my expectations. If you're in town, it's a nice place to come for wine and an elevated dinner.

Every town, burg, or community - however large or small - should be the proud possessor of at least…read moreone... Bistro, that is. A cozy little restaurant that serves up delightfully delicious food in a decidedly casual setting. And in Havre de Grace, The Vineyard Wine Bar fills this niche with a subtle sense of style. As the name suggests, wine has played a significant role in Vineyard's obvious success. So much so, in fact, that not only does the restaurant sport a superb compendium of vintages by the glass and bottle, its lunch and dinner menus are also divided into categories - Light Bodied, Medium Bodied, Full Bodied - that correspond to specific types of wines. Yes, wine is definitely the name of the game... But don't let that fool you. The kitchen also has a great deal to say... and all of it good. The food here is excellent in every respect, as is the service. If I lived in HdG, I have absolutely no doubt that I would be tempted to dine here every day of the week. The Vineyard is everything a great bistro should be - and then some. But I begin to digress... As you have undoubtedly surmised from the above remarks, our dinner here was an extraordinarily satisfying experience. My dining partner and I began by sharing the Bruschetta Trio. Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer that begins with grilled bread topped with garlic and olive oil and then adds a variety of toppings. In this case, the finishing touches consisted of a luscious garlic spread, sundried tomato and basil pestos, melted mozzarella, and house marinated tomatoes with a balsamic glaze. While most incarnations of bruschetta may be consumed manually, Vineyard's substantially succulent variations on the theme (as you will note from the photograph above) demanded the ministrations of both knife & fork and were well worth the effort... Incredibly and unforgettably delicious. As we moved on to what would be considered the entrée or main course, options were numerous and varied... from Cornish Game Hen to Crispy Skin Duck... Venison to Dakota Steak... Lamb Vindaloo to Pesto Bucatini... ... On this particular evening, however, matters piscatorial appeared to take precedence. My dining partner was absolutely ecstatic with her Tuna Bites. Which is precisely what they were... diminutive squares of blackened tuna luxuriating in a Creole remoulade (a creamy, mayonnaise-based sauce originating in France). A definite "wow" factor at work here. On the other hand, my Mango Glazed Salmon was equally up to the mark... First of all, it was wild caught, which I much prefer (with rare exception) to the farmed variety. Secondly, as with most species of fish, salmon tends to be prone to both over and under cooking. Here, however, it was perfectly prepared - cooked through but still moist and succulent at the core - superbly complemented by a slightly smokey red pepper coulis (a smooth sauce made from puréed and strained fruits or vegetables), and companioned by lemon & herb risotto and roasted asparagus spears. On to the wine... With regard to both taste and texture, tuna and salmon are certainly among finny fare's heartiest representatives. Thus, despite the oft-quoted dictum, "Red wine with meat, white wine with fish," and the gentle urgings of our server in that direction, I have always found that salmon and pinot noir are - somewhat akin to lamb and red Bordeaux - a match made in heaven. And, in this instance, the 2022 Lundeen Mon Père Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley proved to be a perfect match for my companion's blackened tuna bites as well. Dessert was a special treat. Naturally, many of the usual familiar sweet endings were present and accounted for. And, given the superior quality of the cuisine thus far, I had no doubt whatsoever that they would have acquitted themselves with suitable aplomb. For some reason, however, my dining companion and I were both drawn to the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake (pictured), which we decided to share... and, which, as it turned out, proved to be one of the high points of our evening. This was an intriguing amalgam indeed: The sweetness of taste being more influenced by the former; the firmness of texture by the latter. It is - if you will pardon the seemingly psychological digression - what we might consider a type of "gastronomic Gestalt," in which the whole is greater than the mere sum of its parts. In other words, the components of Crème Brûlée and Cheesecake have been combined... and from this fascinating combination there has emerged a new dessert that is even more desirable than the components have been individually. Well... call it what you will. I just know that it was so incredibly delicious that I would return at a moment's notice just to indulge my taste buds once again.

On one side of the coin, Seriously excellent pizza... on the other side, horrendous customer…read moreservice. I placed an order for pick up because of the reviews. We walked in, waited behind one person and then stood at the counter. There were 3 people there: an older woman on the phone taking an order (I think), a guy making pizzas and a younger woman dressed in some sort of netted hosiery outfit (to each his own). None of them even said hello. I totally understand the woman on the phone, but we got dirty looks from the younger lady and zero acknowledgment from the guy. I understand you are probably busy, but if you're going to look at your customers while you walk by them several times, you should probably greet them. Honestly, it's just normal human decency. The area is super cute and quaint, this place is definitely a mom & pop shop- which is a shame because that's where we'd normally be treated the best (I' ve been treated better at a dominoes pizza than here.) I literally asked for paper plates (my order was over $50) and got told yes by the younger lady. Then, she walked away and we just stood at the counter waiting for her to bring them to us but she disappeared. After a few minutes, I asked the older lady if the other one was coming back with our plates... because she just left us standing there and completely ignored my request. The other lady gave me plates and giggled, but seriously, why tell us to hang on for a sec only for you to walk away and never return to help us? The mozzarella sticks were hard, not gooey like you'd expect. Our house salad looks great and the pizza was some of the best I've ever had - and, that is saying something. It really was perfect. We got the "special" and bbq chicken pizzas. It's truly a shame they put a damper on this pizza with horrible customer service. If you're in the area, just order for delivery and do not pick up or eat there. They may be totally different with locals, but I couldn't tell you that. If you're just visiting or staying a Great Wolf, order it but don't be shocked when you don't even get a thank you for patronizing their spot.

He is 22 years old, had a valid government-issued ID, and we simply wanted to buy him a celebratory drink with dinner. Instead, the evening turned into an embarrassing and frustrating experience. Despite the fact that our son is legally of age, the restaurant refused service because his ID was horizontal instead of vertical. The date of birth clearly showed he was 22. No such policy was noted anywhere on the website when we made the reservation. We asked to speak to the manager. Rather than handling the situation with professionalism or even basic courtesy, the manager was dismissive, condescending, stating that "most everyone changed their ID over the day they turn 21", as if the situation is his fault. We understand businesses have policies and staff need to verify IDs. But there is a major difference between being cautious and being unreasonable. A valid ID is a valid ID. What made the situation far worse was the attitude we received when we respectfully asked for clarification. Worse, the manager stated (falsely) that there was a county law in Harford County that governs this. There is no such law. This was supposed to be a joyful family celebration. Instead, the mood was completely ruined, everyone left upset, and what should have been a memorable dinner became memorable for all the wrong reasons. Extremely disappointing customer service and management. On top of all this, the restrooms. Urine everywhere in the men's rooms. Clogged with toilet paper. A mess. I am told the ladies rooms had tampons unflushed sitting in toilets. Very unclean. This once great place has gone downhill. Significantly. The food? It was, ok. Best I can say on that.

Yesterday, my friend and I took a bike ride around town, and then stopped in for an appetizer and a beverage. It was about 2:30 on the afternoon on a Friday, yet there was a nice gathering of folks enjoying themselves. We were promptly served, and left alone while we browsed the menu. My friend ordered the blackened ahi tuna starter, which she proclaimed bright with flavor and prepared exactly as requested (extra rare). I chose the cream of crab soup, which might be the best I've ever eaten, full of huge lumps of crab meat, delicately flavored with Old Bay, but not too salty. I would've preferred it a tad thinner, but it was not too thick to enjoy. Since I love meatballs, I also ordered the Margherita meatballs, and they were delicious! Three medium sized meatballs, tasting like your Italian Nonna made them, with a rich Sunday sauce and a sprinkling of parmesan. Yum yum yum. My friend and I also decided to splurge on a plate of onion rings, neither of us having had them for a long while. They came out overdone (or left under a lamp too long) and were burned around the edges. One bite and yuck. No worries, our bartender said she'd get them to make us another plate. The second plate came out looking perfectly, and we enjoyed a few, however, they were rather bland and lacked some flavor. Nonetheless, our experience was delightful and our dissatisfaction with the onion rings was not enough to take off a star from my rating. Havre de Grace is a charming small town at the base of the Susquehanna River where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. Come visit, browse the cute shops, and stop in Coakley's for some delicious food, expert cocktails and local energy.

I believe this was my second time here as it is a favourite of the extended family. Usually I'm here for a birthday or celebration of some kind. The food was okay. My French dip sandwich was fine but the onion rings were flavourless. The onion rings were lukewarm. The Peach Palmer was okay. Not very flavourful, like alcoholic weak tea. My partner ordered the Tuscan Garlic Chicken and found the sauce to be great but the chicken was dry. A cousin ordered the Captain Chesapeake sandwich and it was good but lacked crab. Which is astounding for a Chesapeake town to lack crab. The server for our party seemed very over it. Which I can understand partially since it was a busy Sunday afternoon. However our Birthday person has a disability, a stutter and delayed speech. Our server rolled his eyes and rushed her to order when she was trying her best. He lacked any sort of patience and seemed to just want to be done with us. The ambience is okay. It's weirdly empty and not decorated much. Overall it's okay but I don't come here unless someone else has chosen this as the venue for food.
