We were really looking forward to this dinner, especially since it was a chance to catch up with friends we only see every few months. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short. The biggest issue across the board was the food--everything tasted bland. There was a noticeable lack of seasoning, and most dishes ended up tasting the same. I started with a Caesar salad, which was unusual with added tomatoes and other vegetables you don't typically see. While it was fine, it lacked flavor. For the main course, all four of us ordered pasta, and again, the same issue--very little taste. No one offered fresh Parmesan, which is something you'd normally expect with a pasta dish. Halfway through my meal, trying to improve the flavor, I asked for some Parmesan. I was genuinely surprised when the server told me it would cost an extra $1. It wasn't about the dollar--it was the principle. Charging extra for something as basic as Parmesan with pasta felt unreasonable. When we raised the concern, the manager confirmed this policy came directly from the owner. My advice: just include it in the price of the dish. Policies like that leave a bad impression and cost you repeat customers. Between the bland food and that moment, the experience turned from disappointing to frustrating. Sadly, this isn't a place we'll be returning to--and it's one we'll be warning others about. read more

The ambiance and food was amazing. When you walk up, there is a very large patio. It looked lovely to sit at on a nice day. The house is also subdivided into smaller rooms, so there is no more than about 6 tables per section. It made it intimate and well curated. We went with friends and came prepared to eat. We ordered plenty of appetizers, our meals, and 2 desserts. My favorites were the burrata and arancini. My salad was basic, but trying a bite of my husband's steak was fantastic. Pretty much everything was a baseline of good enough to order again, but now that I've gone once the things I need again are pretty much all the appetizers and a steak. As for the desserts, they were just ok. I don't think I've ever had a dry olive oil cake, but this one was. The gelato on top made up for it because it was like an added sauce. Finally, our server was ok. He was great with our orders and refilling our drinks. However, he was a little sneaky with asking us the type of water we wanted and if we wanted the focaccia for the table that you had to pay for. He also just rushed my husband through the bill so he could not see if it was accurate and he had added an appetizer that we never got. He was still nice and good waiter. Just minor things in an overall great experience. read more

Salt & Vine is situated in what looks like a converted house turned restaurant, which gives it a really cool first impression. The atmosphere is one of the restaurant's strongest points. The interior has an upscale but still homely feel to it, with low lighting and interesting, somewhat ambiguous artwork that looks like blurred portrait paintings. The service was also friendly and courteous throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the food itself was underwhelming. The portions were small for the price, which normally wouldn't bother me if the flavors were exceptional, but most of the dishes felt noticeably underseasoned. I ordered the braised lamb shank, served in a lamb jus with carrots, cress, asparagus, and radish. The lamb itself was cooked perfectly and very tender, but the overall flavor was lacking. It desperately needed more salt and seasoning to bring the dish to life. For comparison, I can go to Julii and get the lamb tagine for less money, and that dish delivers significantly more depth and flavor. We also ordered the hamachi crudo and the Tagliatelle Al Funghi. The crudo leaned too sweet and lacked the acidity and spice needed to balance it out. The pickled onions added some contrast, but toppings like the olives didn't really contribute much to the dish overall. The tagliatelle was probably the best thing we had, but even that still felt like it needed salt. One of the specials we tried was a fried quail coated in a semolina flour batter over a chicken jus with peas and beans. The concept sounded great, but again the dish suffered from the same issue as the rest of the meal: lack of seasoning. The batter itself tasted completely unseasoned, and for the dish to really work, either the coating needed proper seasoning or the quail itself needed to be brined beforehand. As it was served, the dish just felt flat and underdeveloped flavor-wise. Overall, I think Salt & Vine is decent and gets a lot right in terms of atmosphere and service. It definitely succeeds at creating an upscale dining experience aesthetically. But if it wants to justify the pricing, the food needs to deliver more flavor and better seasoning. Otherwise, it starts to feel less like fine dining and more like simply expensive dining. read more

I came here for a private party. Salt & Vine is located in the historic Olney House, which has many rooms and charm, making it the perfect venue to host an event. I'm not gonna lie, despite following the GPS, it was tricky for me to find where the restaurant was actually located. The GPS led me through the back way, so there were unmarked roads and no signage identifying Salt & Vine from the back. The easiest way to find the big white house of the restaurant is off of Olney Sandy Spring Road. There's a few parking spots available in the front and additional parking in the back. We had a private room upstairs, almost in a nook. The room was a little dingy and was a bit dated - the mirrors were tarnished and could've used some Windex - but the dining room table was set and it gave us the intimate ambiance that we were looking for. Service was excellent! Five stars for service! Ty was our primary server. He checked on us frequently to see if we needed anything, checked to see how the food was, and still gave us the space to enjoy our private lunch together. Any time a new guest arrived, Ty promptly greeted the newcomer and was ready to get them a drink. When the guest of honor arrived, he gave his congratulatory wishes and really set the tone for a wonderful luncheon at Salt & Vine. Service was super accommodating and pacing between the dishes was done really well. We never felt rushed and also never felt like we were sitting around wondering when the next dish would come. All the dishes served had the necessary serving utensils for family-style. Service was upscale in the sense that they changed out plates and silverware in between courses. Service was also super seamless - another staff member was there to assist to clear plates, bring out food and dishes, and do drink refills - and everyone did their job efficiently and effectively. Leftovers were also packed up by the staff and neatly packaged to take home. We had a family-style meal consisting of the arancini, grandma's meatballs, house salad, wood-oven roasted oysters, fusilli bolognese, artichoke and crab frittata, fresh berries and whipped cream, and cannolis. Each dish had beautiful presentation. The standout dish (and rightfully so) was the fusilli bolognese, which Ty said was by far the most popular dish on the menu. The fusilli bolognese was delicious! The fusilli bolognese was perfectly balanced between the meat, creamy tomato sauce, and cheese. I don't like pasta that's swimming in sauce or that has chunks of meat that's dry or rolls right out of the sauce - this fusilli bolognese does everything right and I'm here for it. The arancini was light and super cheesy on the inside. It's almost like a fried mozzarella ball. The meatball was served with a lovely dollop of herbed ricotta. Both the arancini and meatball were served in a tasty marina sauce and I would say they were good serving sizings for the starters. The house salad was fresh and nicely dressed, but pretty basic - some mixed greens, little tomatoes, pickled red onions, and croutons, plus a balsamic dressing. The artichoke and crab frittata was topped with mixed greens that almost felt like another salad. Everything was portioned out already, making it easy to serve and share the meal together. I do like a little more stuff in my frittata (peppers, onions, cheese, etc. aka the works), but I did appreciate that you can taste the crab and artichokes in the dish. For dessert, we had the fresh berries with whipped cream and a platter of cannolis. We loved the berries and whipped cream - so fresh and lightly sweet and airy. You get a two-for-one with the cannolis - you get chocolate chips on one side and pistachios on the other end - it's the best of both worlds! These were classic cannolis done really well. I highly recommend Salt & Vine for any event you may have. They hosted our luncheon expertly. And the fusilli bolognese- get it! read more

Ambiance was nice and elegant. The cucumber gimlet cocktail was excellent. I also very much enjoyed the focaccia and fried artichokes. The manicotti was bland and I would not order it again.

Late review ... came here a few of months ago with my husband and teen daughter. We sat outside, as the weather was still on the warmer side. The place looked cute outside. We had a few items; for apps, we split the carpaccio, which we liked. Our daughter had the Ceasar salad, she didn't love it because there was a huge anchovy in the middle (none of us had ever seen such a big anchovy in a Ceasar before). For entrees, I had the Iceland Cod with the faro and fennel salad (might have been a special husband got pasta and daughter had the 6 oz filet mignon. We all wanted to love this place, it's cute and near our new home. Unfortunately, all of our entrees fell short of expectations. They definitely could have been better. And we felt the price point was high for what we got. The service was okay, server didn't seem to know a lot, even brought out wrong. Based on the price point and experience, we're not sure we'll return. read more

We wanted to get in one more restaurant week date night so we made reservations at Salt & Vine! The restaurant looks like a very large house and has multiple floors and dining rooms/areas. The restaurant was buzzing with conversation all around us. It was a little hard to hear each other, but we adjusted. Our waiter, P.R., made some good suggestions for appetizers. I had the Caviar Bites, my wife had the Whipped Ricotta. We also ordered drinks; I had a glass of Rosé, my wife had the Blueberry Smash. The appetizers tasted good, especially the caviar bites! They're a combination of potato rösti (it tasted like a really good French fry) with various caviar and a cheese sauce called Stracciatella drizzled on than. Yum!!!! We both ordered the Grilled NY Striploin which came with broccolini and pommes rösti (the French fry thing, lol). We both ordered medium but my wife's came out medium well. We didn't say anything about it since everything tasted great! Although she said my steak tasted better than hers since it was cooked as ordered. To end the night my wife ordered the cannons and I had the chocolate mousse. We enjoyed both, but took them to go since we were full. Overall we enjoyed our experience! Restaurant week brought us in, but we'll be back in the future. Thanks to the team here for taking good care of us! read more

We celebrated our anniversary dinner here. It was a last minute reservation and the staff really treated us amazing. From the lovely card to seating us quickly, the service definitely stands out. Everyone was accommodating and really cared about our time and experience at the restaurant. The restaurant is a converted beautiful home into a bustling and quiet restaurant. We got the frito misto and two different pastas; the squid ink pasta and the mushroom tagliatelle. The frito wasn't our favorite but the pastas were amazing. The flavor and depth was amazing! We had an amazing time! read more

Finally got to experience Salt & Vine! I met up with a friend right next door and didn't realize how close this place was. Based on the pics I saw from outside, I thought it was on a hill in the middle of some big field somewhere in Olney, not right in the nearby parking lot XD. It has a stunning exterior with patio seating. It was a beautiful day, so my buddy and I kept debating between sitting inside and outside. Before deciding we did walk through, and I loved how beautiful the decor inside is. I didn't get to see upstairs, but I imagine it was even more delight. We eventually decided to sit outside, the weather was irresistible. When we sat down, we made an awesome discovery -- it was about to be happy hour! They have it 7 days a week at the bar or on the patio, so it turned out wonderfully. We still had about 20 minutes, so I got a bowl of gazpacho in the meantime. I hadn't had it in like 15 years and it tasted even better than I remembered! It's about as summer as you can get when it comes to soup. When happy hour time came, we got fritto misto, which is fried calamari, shrimp, scallops, and lemon slices all in one... very unique, and I was intrigued! There was definitely more shrimp than anything else though. We each had a FANTASTIC lamb chop... I have to bring my friend who loves lamb in the near future. And we each had a glass of wine and split the fusilli bolognese. That was an excellent pasta -- flavorful and all. All this to say, I had a fantastic time at Salt & Vine after watching it for like two years. I am looking forward to bringing my parents for some special occasion. It was awesome! read more

The drinks are well-made and warmed my soul. The food was amazing, especially the Single lamb chop. I enjoyed it so much I had three the first time I visited. The pizza, was satisfactory, (I am a pizza snob.) I would get it again. I can not wait until my next visit, I know I will not be disappointed. read more

We've been wanting to try salt & vine for a while and finally got the chance to this past Friday evening. Be aware parking is very limited and you may have to drive around for a little in order to find a space. Although pricey, we all very much enjoyed our dinner here. The crab linguine was delicious, as was the shrimp in butter sauce. The focaccia is also house made and we used it to dip in the shrimp butter sauce. The beef carpaccio was tasty and the brocollini was grilled to perfection. The drinks were all presented beautifully and you really can't go wrong with any of them! Our server was kind and gave us great recommendations. My only complaint is that our food took over an hour to come out, but our server did apologize for the wait. I am assuming that was out of the ordinary. We will definitely be back! read more

Somewhat limited parking behind the restaurant, but there are several extra spots by the entrance sign to the center. read more

Revisited Salt and Vine for Mother's Day dinner this past Sunday. My family and I decided to dine a week after the actual day to avoid the crowds. I re-ordered their lemoncello spritz (still highly recommend if you want a summer drink), the beef carpaccio, meatballs and sausage pizza pie for an appetizer. My favorite was the meatball dish, very tender and flavored very well. I personally ordered their 6 oz blue tuna with a side of pea and black truffles risotto. I thoroughly enjoyed the dish and for some reason, they always nail the cook on the risotto every time. My sister and mom wanted a small dessert too that wasn't on their menu (an affogato). However we noticed that they had espresso and gelato on their menu as separate items. The staff were kind enough to essentially put both items together to create an affogato. Very delicious and highly recommend as well. Overall, another very exceptional experience. It is quite pricey but definitely a well worth dining experience every once in awhile. This is a great option for those looking for a place to celebrate birthdays or even Father's Day since it's around the corner. read more

"At Salt & Vine, we promise to provide an unforgettable dining experience that is as delightful as it is refined." Last night, we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Salt & Vine. We were celebrating a friend's birthday. The service is excellent. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. She was there when we needed her and gave us space when we needed it. The bar area is beautiful with rich dark woods, mirrors, and comfortable cream couches. The management reigns supreme, Jason, one of the front of the house managers came by several times to check on us. I thought that was really nice. We started off our meal with fried artichokes and the burrata platter. Unfortunately, somebody in the prep department forgot to remove the chokes from the artichoke dish. That made it a little difficult to eat and enjoy. The burrata platter was by far our favorite antipasti. There was a large mound of fresh burrata, tasty warm pita bread, flavorful peppers, and a generous helping of prosciutto. This is the best appetizer! One of our diners got the pressed duck, which is cooked and then pressed with layers of potatoes, and peas. It looked outrageously good and we were both sorry that we didn't order this dish. Next time... One friend ordered the arugula, asparagus, radish, egg, and prosciutto salad dressed in a honey mustard vinaigrette. He added chicken to his salad. He really enjoyed his dish. I ordered the roasted beet salad with pistachio nuts, goat cheese, strawberries, lettuce and a cheese blend. It was dressed in a mustard, lemon vinaigrette. I added shrimp to my dish. I thought my salad was excellent. The shrimp and beets were cooked to phenomenally. I wish they would have added a few more shrimp to the dish. But, the 3 shrimp on the salad were large in size. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which included coffee, soaked Ladyfingers, Kahlua coffee liquor, and cream. All three of us were blown away. Best tiramisu that we have ever had in our lives. Chef's kiss! Our friend had the toasted almond cake with marscyepone frosting. That was amazing too. The pastry chef is so talented. An incredible meal, but it is definitely pricey. So, make sure and plan ahead for this fun dining experience. read more

Nestled in a former home/mansion a bit off the road at the intersection of Georgia Ave and 108, Salt & Vine is no secret. And I finally got to see why when I visited back in January for my birthday. Salt & Vine is large, yet cozy and intimate, with several rooms for dining. Service is prompt and attentive. On this first visit I had the Orecchiette Salsiccia and my guy had the rainbow trout. Both were delicious!! I tried two different cocktails, Limoncello Mule and Salt and Vine Something. My favorite between the two was the mule. I topped off the evening with Tiramisu for dessert and had some leftover pasta to take home, much to my delight. Salt & Vine was everything I hoped it would be and I look forward to coming back again. read more

My husband and I have heard about this place for a while and I didn't realize how close it is to our house. We decided to partake in their restaurant week before we got 1000 inches of snow the next day. I was surprised that there weren't any pasta options on the menu since we saw this place was advertised as Italian cuisine. All good tho. I love how cozy it felts inside. It felt like I was having dinner in someone's mansion. Super cute and very picturesque. Our waiter was really nice. I think his name was P.R. He convinced my husband to try caviar when we learned that the appetizer we both wanted was out. I was nervous so i ended up ordering the whipped ricotta which was delicious. My husband did try the caviar bites which he said was delicious. I had a Blueberry Smash for my drink of the evening. For my main entree, i ordered the NY Strip with came with broccolini and pommes rosti ( which was like a thick cut French fry). I ordered my steak medium but it came out medium well. It had good flavor but it also had alot of fat that I needed to cut off. Prob wasnt their best cut of meat. My husbands came out perfect. Nice and thick and cooked medium. I tried his and it was better. For dessert, I ordered the cannolis and ended up taking them home to enjoy another day. They were yummy. Overall this was a good experience, and I would like to visit again to try something new. read more

We came for Restaraunt Week dinner which was $65 pp. We started with the Carpaccio which was absolutely delicious. Not sure of the seasoning but it was drizzled with olive oil and the beef was paper thin. Done to perfection. We also had the caviar bites which were severed on a potato stick type bread, a dab of sour cream, and caviar on top. Surprisingly delicious. I ordered the Grilled NY Sirloin and my wife had the Faroe Island Salmon. Both were prepared to our likeness. The steak was flavorful and delicate and the salmon was flakey and sweet. We the cannoli for dessert. They perhaps were not made on site but were creamy nonetheless the less. Our server was very attentive to our wants and offered to smoke my Old Fashioned. It's a $2 up charge for the smoke but I love a smoked old fashioned. I asked for the rail bourbon which was Old Forrester. A decent bourbon. The place was hopping with other customers but not loud. The atmosphere was cozy and quaint. read more

I enjoyed a nice brunch here! Not sure why the Washington Post was so harsh, it's a good restaurant! The building is old and historic with tons of parking. Apparently the wood fired oven they use is original to the house! The front area is a little strange because it leads straight into a staircase, but the rest of the restaurant is elegantly decorated. I loved the green and gold wallpaper in the downstairs dining room. I was a little disappointed in the variety of brunch offerings- most of the menu was not breakfast food. However, all of the food was really beautiful and tasted great, too! I got the beet salad, which I think was the best thing on the table. It was prepared well and had a great mix of flavors. The staff were quiet and discreet but very attentive. It seemed a little high priced for me, especially for the location, but it was a beautiful intimate restaurant and provides an upscale location that Olney needed. read more

However it was my mistake the drink was exactly as it was stated. Their tiramisu is a decent portion for the price and incredibly delicious! read more

Really disappointed with our experience at Salt & Vine. We went in expecting something special given the high ratings, but it absolutely did not deliver -- especially for the price point. The truffle manicotti had virtually no truffle flavor whatsoever. If you're going to charge premium prices and advertise truffle, it should actually taste like truffle. It just tasted like basic cheese pasta. The salmon was overly greasy and heavy, and surprisingly didn't even come with rice -- which felt odd for the style of dish. Instead, the "potatoes" were essentially thick, frozen-style fries. For a place charging upscale prices, that felt incredibly lazy. Speaking of pricing, the sides are outrageously expensive for what you get. Everything felt nickel-and-dimed. Overall, this felt like paying fine-dining prices for very average (and at times below-average) food. Definitely not worth the hype. read more

Amazing food and service. We got the rack of lamb, risotto and Spaghetti Al Nero Di Seppia. We also started with fresh focaccia bread and the fried artichoke appetizers. Sooooooooo gooood. The fried artichoke is a must. Don't fill up too much on bread. The portions are huge, so the bread would take away from meals offers. Get the rack of lamb medium and the half rack is filling and plenty. Service is great, but not many views. Still a good place to try and a fraction of the cost compared to DC. read more

Came early in the day for lunch but they were only serving half the menu.. not sure if that was a normal thing but the host gave us the disclaimer as soon I got there. Then helped me book a table for later in the day for when the full menu would be available. I love the way the dining rooms are set here. It's multiple rooms and each is a little different (have been considering hosting a party here). Clean, spacious and just an overall relaxed vibe. Our server did a really good job just knowing the menu, the go to orders and asking all the right questions. Quick and efficient. Was not too busy so she was on top of service. Oddly enough, the salad and pasta was the highlight of my meal. I typically don't eat Cantaloupe but that was an EXCELLENT salad. Ribeye was not bad, but nothing special.. could benefit from a nice char but it lacked that crust. The shrimps were disappointing but I think I'm just spoiled by the amount of places that have served me jumbo shrimp that aren't overcooked and shriveled up. Great wine sauce though. Ate everything with a glass of Chianti. Would come back/recommend if in the area and looking for a nice spot for dinner. read more

The food was good. But the service was outstanding. Aidan took care of us very well. He was attentive and very helpful with the best bedside manner. The restaurant was beautiful and service staff was on point. The food was good to very good. Unfortunately, the fried artichokes were overseasoned by a large margin, which is too bad, because otherwise, this would have been a very good dish. We loved the baked oysters. Very tasty and flavorful with just the right seasoning. The fusilli was underwhelming. I would definitely not order that again. Taste was just eh. I feel like of all the pasta I've had, this is just a 6/10. Cannolis were the best dish. Not too sweet. Perfect mix of textures. read more

This spot was super cute! It looked like a house that transformed into a wine bar restaurant. Service was superb! Bread starter, extensive wine menu with mocktail options too. Calamari was a lil chewy but it was fried with red and shishito peppers and it paired nicely in the same bite. The branzino was perfect like the skin was nice and crispy. Brussel sprouts were delicious, topped with pine nuts so crunchy texture. When I tasted their pasta, it was overhyped by our server. It was good but not great you know. The sauces needed more thickness to fully enjoy the rich flavors. The almond cake for dessert was the best part, reminded me of the perfect wedding cake. It was creamy, but firm and moist. They have a wood fire oven so their pizza is probably really good too. You can smell the fire burning upon entry. Definitely would go back when it's not dry January to explore their wine menu. read more

We had a great time this past weekend. The restaurant is really beautiful. I'm not sure what was here before but I hope this one is here to stay! We made a reservation for dinner, which I highly recommend. It is homecoming season so not much availability for times and seating options if you wait until the last minute. Parking is limited as well. As far as attire, I feel like this is a place where you can do smart casual or dressy. I think I went with date night cute. We sat on the second floor patio. It was a beautiful fall day. Once the sun went down, it got a tad cooler but not cold. A light sweater/jacket would have been fine. They ofter daily happy hour from 3 to 6 - at the bar and patio only. It includes food and drink specials! Our server, Franco, was great. Very attentive and helpful. There's complimentary bread and butter. Great cocktail options and extensive wine selection. I tried a glass of their chianti. I enjoyed it. I really liked my espresso martini I had after my meal. For my entree, I did the penne al vodka and I added chicken. It was yummy. I love that they ofter half or full size portions. I did the half since I wasn't starving and it was the perfect amount. I can't wait to come back. Tuesday nights are half off wine nights. Any takers? Add Salt & Vine to your list! You won't be disappointed!! read more
