Server was great and very attentive, but the food was not. We shared the deep fried brussels sprouts, which were extremely salty. I initially ordered the Moroccan short rib beef and prunes tagine with coucous. The meat was so overcooked, dry, and overall flavorless. I had to send it back and get the winter risotto instead. The risotto was pretty good, comparatively. My boyfriend ordered the Norwegian salmon with potato-onion casserole. The dish was so small and just tasted okay. Food was overpriced for the quality and quantity we got, so I would not be coming back. Prince the dog was cute, though. read more

Elegant dining experience at a quarter of the price you would pay for the same food/drink in Napa or San Francisco. Our server, Joshua, and the rest of the front-of-house crew greeted us warmly and took care of us like guests in their own kitchen. The wine menu is expansive and very reasonable. I highly recommend the vanilla ice cream with salted caramel for dessert. I will definitely be returning to this cozy little restaurant soon! read more

Shouting from the roof tops! What an incredible find. Exceptional service, amazing and fresh food, superb wine list, and a cute four legged chaperone named prince to escort you to your table. Small place, make a reservation. The personal level of service was fun and comforting... it's a Wednesday, we made a reservation for Friday to come back. 4 glasses of wine, two starters, 2 entrees, 2 desserts for a whopping $75!!!! Casual, yet fun and romantic, great for a small group of friends with good conversation. So happy we found this place!! Did I mention Philadelphia water ice?! read more

Tablevine Restaurant was an excellent restaurant that offered a cozy environment, fantastic food and an exceptional wait staff. Joshua was our waiter along with a handsome older waiter who brilliantly recommended a three course meal with clam chowder, the best duck I ever tasted, and risotto. We ended the meal with a delicious eggnog creme brulee. The top-rated staff was extremely welcoming, hospitable, and attentive. The food was well prepared and orchestrated. As a Foodie, however, I would have been even happier if the food had been a tad bit hotter especially the clam chowder and risotto. I love the restauranteurs that serve the food so hot that the server warns you that the plate is very hot. My husband & I plan to certainly return to Tablevine again because we really enjoyed it and thought it was worth the drive from Rocklin. read more

The owner had dog loose in the dining room - what the heck??? Dog begged for food at the table- how can this be happening? Food and service was excellent-can't get past the dog. read more

Hands down, one of the best and most underrated farm-to-fork restaurants in Sacramento. This restaurant has struck the perfect balance of casual elegance with a friendly, inviting atmosphere and upscale food so clearly made with passion and love for the craft. The perfect place to celebrate a special occasion (we were here for a birthday), or just when you're feeling like something a little more than your standard go-to. The pricing is very reasonable, especially for the quality! The wine list is v impressive and diverse. The food menu is constantly changing, but what we had was amazing. We started with the Baked Herbed Goat Cheese in Grape Leaf and I had the risotto for dinner. Everything was well balanced and jam-packed with flavor. I'm still thinking about the goats cheese, as it was pure sorcery how good it was! Last but certainly not least, the service was above and beyond. The chef personally greeted us and chatted with us for quite a bit after our meal, making us feel like welcomed and valued guests. My favorite part was their little beagle, Prince, who was perfectly well-behaved and friendly, coming over for pats throughout the evening but never begging or whining. Many others came by with their dogs throughout the evening because they know there is always a treat waiting for them! I absolutely loved this place and can't wait to come back. No matter what's on the menu, you know you're in for a great experience. read more

Came here tonight with my sister and some close friends. Service was impeccable. Our server was so helpful, he was so patient and helped me choose a wine as I have no knowledge of wine or what I like to drink. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great as well! I definitely recommend this if you're looking for an intimate get together with friends, or even a date! read more

I remember when TableVine opened and the owner, Dan, has worked so hard to make TableVine an elegant, cozy space with delicious food. With the transition to outdoor dining, Dan and his staff have been creative and even bought a mister fan for customers on those hot Sacramento days. TableVine brings the full experience from warm customer service to great food. I highly recommend you put them on your Sacramento restaurant rotation. read more

I wanted so badly to like this place. The atmosphere was comfortable. The quality of the food was outstanding. The Brussel sprouts, gespacho, and salmon were delicious. The service was excellent. Now the cons: 1) they have to keep the front door locked due to significant area problems with homeless persons and have to let you in, 2) a $50 per bottle corkage fee, and 3) the restaurant dog, "Prince", who wanders around the restaurant crawling under tables and begging for food. The thought of possibly getting dog hair and E. coli in my food was totally gross. Where is the Public Health Department? read more

This place has excellent reviews but our experience was very disappointing in both service and food. It may have been an off night. I almost never post about service, but we sat for 24 minutes before a waiter ever came by our table. Once the waiter did come, he neglected to mention the specials. The only reason I knew there were specials is because I overheard them at an adjacent table. To be fair, our waiter mentioned he had a broken foot so that definitely has to be taken into consideration. The menu offered eight entrees that night but the restaurant was sold out of three of them. All three of them were our first choices so it was disheartening as we tried to order and were continuously told it was unavailable. We came at 7pm on a Saturday night so this was surprising. It would have been better if we had been told upfront what was unavailable to manage expectations. - Bacon clam chowder: Zero clam flavor and lukewarm. Just call it bacon chowder. - Crispy brussel sprouts: Exactly what you want when ordering this dish. Fried and perfectly crispy. Comes with a slightly sweetened aioli. A bright note would have been welcome though, like a charred lemon slice to drizzle on top. - Fall risotto: Vegetarian and added a beef short rib on top at the waiter's suggestion. The risotto was perfectly cooked and so flavorful on its own. The short rib was tender but it was a small 2.5 inch square piece and cost an additional $15 to add on. It wasn't worth it for the portion size and the fact that the risotto was the star. - Salmon with mushrooms and potato: This dish was fine. The salmon itself was cooked well and had good salmon flavor, but there wasn't anything particularly special about it. I wish the salmon and the mushrooms/potatoes were more complex in flavor. I could make the same thing at home. I expected more from a place like Tablevine. Bonus: There's an adorable beagle that roams the restaurant, quietly and politely stopping at tables for rubs and scratches. Summary: Meh, but there's a dog. read more

Amazing dinner, great service. Yelp says I didn't write enough so I now have written more.

This place is great, as far as food, service, wine! I totally recommend it to anyone wanting a local company. They have a beagle named Prince that roams around. Our table is totally dog people and loved our guest with us through out the night! I will say portions were so delicious but we're a little small. Make sure to get a few desserts as well because it was worth it! Thanks so much and we will be back soon! read more

Excellent service and entree. I had the speciality, Risotto with Scallops, excellently prepared and presented! Thanks for letting us close the lunch hour and staying around. Great place for a good meal and catching up with friends! Thanks read more

I've been wanting to try TableVine for years. Last night when searching for something to pick up, they popped up in my search and I'm glad they were. We got the brussel sprouts, clam chowder, and pumpkin bread pudding. Everything was amazing! The clam chowder was probably the best I've ever had. We're looking forward to dining there as the staff were all super friendly. read more

My guest and I had a delightful experience dinning at TableVine on Feb 9th. The atmosphere was wonderful: quiet enough to easily converse, clean, not crowded, and attractively decorated. The menu selection was adequate for our needs. We both ordered salmon, which was excellent. We also had a wonderful lentil soup. Our server, Samantha, was delightfully professional. She was knowledgeable about the dishes, and she was always present when we needed her (and without being obtrusive). We look forward to our next dinner at TableVine. read more

A wonderful hidden treasure, TableVine offers elegant dining, unique menu combinations, and a modest but eclectic wine list, tucked away in a cozy space all at an affordable price. The wait staff is friendly, attentive, prompt, and knowledgeable. Our experience with TableVine's Confit and Roasted Oyster Mushroom Risotto with Grana Padano and Truffle Oil topped with seared scallops, Caesar salad with Grana Padano, Anchovy, Lemon, Roasted Garlic Croutons and white pickled anchovies, and Braised Short Rib Roast with Pearl Onion, Carrot, Pea Puree and Fresh Horseradish was extraordinary. The Caesar salad was topped with their kitchen made dressing that was perfect. The risotto and scallops was a perfect match. The braised short rib melted in your mouth. We encourage you to try this hidden gem. You have to look for it, as it is not on one of Sacrameto's restaurant rows. It is worth the extra effort to find TableVine. If TableVine was an escape room you would not want to escape. read more

Excellent restaurant - one of the best in Sacramento. Everything was perfect. The pizzetta with roasted brussels sprouts, bacon, fingerling potato, fontina cream and brandy syrup was a highlight. It's the size of a medium or large pizza. I get scared of unusual pizzas sometimes, but nothing to worry about here. The fish special was perfect cooked and served with grapefruit and quinoa. Portuguese Kale Soup was spicy! My dad ate every bit of the deconstructed chicken pot pie. The have a good wine selection, and signature cocktails as well. We enjoyed the desserts too, with the cheesecake being a highlight for me. The chocolate mouse wasn't too fluffy. Executive Chef Scott McNamara obviously knows what he's doing and the "fine-art of casual dining" theme is executed flawlessly, with all dishes being interesting and creative, but still hearty and in good-sized portions. read more

My family took me here for my birthday based on the good reviews. We were not disappointed! From the first step inside we were greeted by friendly and happy staff. Our waiter was marvelous and I'm am so sorry I didn't get his name. He had great rapport with my grands and catered to each of our requests for this and that. We ordered salmon, steak, scallops and risotto, clam chowder, caesar salad, and everything was wonderful! If you have a chance to try this restaurant please do. You won't be disappointed! We are definitely returning! read more

This place was expensive for lunch. The entrees were like $12-19 and appetizers cost $7-$13. The portions were small. The service was superb but it doesn't make up for the salty duck leg confit and beans didn't compliment the dish at all. Overall the chicken pot pie dish wasn't appetizing because it was just big pieces of onions with peas and two pieces of chicken but the sauce that went on top was good. All the dishes are "Au la carte" which means it doesn't come with anything. I got special soup which was a butternut squash soup and had pomegranate and pumpkin seeds. Nothing special about this place. read more

Quaint. That's seems to be the word that I keep coming back too for my experience here. As always, I'm always looking for new places on the Grid, any place that happily sells wine too is also an extra bonus in my book. Antonia R. offered to take me out for my birthday, so we met here (with her other friend too) on a drizzly Friday night for a girls dinner. She made reservations, but when I was the first to arrive I had to wait at least ten minutes for our table. After about 8 of those minutes, they offered me a drink menu to order one, then a couple minutes later they sat me. There isn't anything fancy about the set-up, it's cute. It's quaint. Simple decor, but not overly pretentious. I ordered their only Cab Sav on the menu, before the girls arrived. Shortly after the girls arrived they ordered different white wines. We chatted, laughed, and then finally ordered our food. To start, we shared the 'Selection of Artisan Cheeses, Seasonal Garnish, and Toasted Baguette'. We enjoyed the three different cheeses they provided, especially the Brie, it was so creamy and buttery. The fits were really good as well, one of the gals had never tried one before, so that was a sight to watch her eat one. Also, the baguette to cheese ratio did not work for us. We asked for more and they obliged, however, I'm not sure if they charged us for the additional carbs or not? For my entree, I went with the 'Pizzetta with Roasted Brussels Sprout, Bacon, Fingerling Potato, Fontina Cream, Brandy Syrup,' sadly without the Bacon. Yes, you read that correctly. It being a Friday during lent, meant that my options were limited. That and they were out of the scallops already (which they were surprised about, but I reminded them it was Friday + Lent). This pizza was amazing and I don't think that was the wine talking. Everything was complimentary and tasty. I was skeptical about the brandy syrup, but that hint of sweet was perfect. It was a favorite among the table. AR ordered the 'Spinach Crepe with Smoked Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan, White Cream Sauce, Lemon' and we kinda shared with each other. It was good, but not as good as the pizza. The crepe was expertly cooked and the mixture was cheesy, creamy goodness, but it just wasn't as good or flavorful as the pizza. The portion size was much smaller than I had anticipated. We couldn't skip dessert, even though we were pretty full. They let me chose, since it was my birthday. I went with the cheesecake with berries. I'm not sure of the official name of the item, but that's basically what it was! It was really good and it had a good cheesecake to crust ratio, which is what is important to me. I love cheesecake crust, the more the better! I did try a glass of their Cab/Red blend, but I didn't like it as much as the Cab Sav, by the glass. They don't have too many options by the glass, but they have a huge selection of bottles to order. We aren't that fancy, so we were a little limited. The girls stuck with their white wine choices and everyone left super happy. The servers were awesome, super friendly and never batted an eye when we asked them to take about 20 pictures of us - sitting, standing, all of it! I truly hope they survive on the Grid. The pricing is on par with like minded spots on the Grid, a little steep for an every day dinner, but great for a treat or the boughie folk! I left happy and ready to come back again to try something else. Their menu isn't huge and I'm hoping they rotate it seasonally to see what else the Chef can come up with. That pizzetta was so memorable, I can almost still taste the roasted burssel sprouts! read more

Take this review with "A grain of salt", pun intended. I never cook with excessive salt and am never the type to use the salt shaker at a restaurant. Granted this is a new place and there will be growing pains but you can tell how a chef cooks. We had the scallops and the steak as the main course, so I'll speak on those. The scallops came on a cauliflower purée and the steak came with a play on baked potatoes and chimichurri. The actual scallops had good flavor but slightly over cooked. The cauliflower purée however was a disappointment. This is where salt comes into play. The purée needed salt. Now when I say salt, I don't mean salty flavor, rather salt is needed to bring out the flavor of the item that is being eaten. This goes for the steak as well. The chimichurri sauce had good flavor but when I got to the actual meat, it had little flavor. Once again, salt is needed to bring out the flavor of the meat. This echoed with the potatoes. It was a play on baked potato meats au gratin. It was thinly sliced with a bread crumble but again it needed the enhancement of salt. And although personal taste, the potatoes probably needed a wet element, be it a herbed butter or a bechamel. I will return for the service and concept but I hope the restaurant takes this as a honest review and not any type of bashing. read more

Food was delicious. Had the scallop risotto (day special), duck confit, and salad. Chilled white and rose wines were also excellent on a hot summer day. Was bummed they didn't let dogs inside the restaurant since we brought our dog and it said dogs were allowed on their page --but they accommodated outdoors and had treats/water for him. Would come back again, want to try the rest of the menu. read more

Tablevine is such a cute and romantic restaurant. I was lured in by other yelpers pictures of tomato soup and grilled cheese however they no longer serve that. My husband and I stopped by for lunch and we had the whole restaurant got ourselves. The service was great and quick. And, food was AMAZING! The interior is very chic. I felt like I was in a fancy cute restaurant in st. Helena yet the menu is reasonably priced. I had the salmon and my husband had the chicken and they were both delicious. I will definitely be coming back for dinner to try their dinner menu. read more

TableVine might be the best kept secret in Sacramento. Tucked away in what seems a mostly residential area, but only a couple blocks from the Capitol, there is ample parking on the street even on a Friday night!

Tonight for our anniversary, we ordered dinner from here. There was a mixup on our order, and one of our entrées did not get included which we did not discover until we got home. When we called the restaurant, Dan brought us a corrected order to our door. It was wonderful! We will always choose TableVine for our special dinners. The food is wonderful, and Dan always treats us like we are royalty. Thank you, TableVine. read more

TableVine is a hidden gem! The food is excellent and the staff are very attentive to customers' needs. They remember your name, what wine you prefer, and they are always at the ready to make your dining experience superb! I really love this restaurant. I frequently enjoy lunch a few days a week. I even have dinner with them at least once a week. My favorite dishes include the mushroom risotto and every soup offered is delicious. The prices are reasonable, and so worth it. read more

First time dinning at TableVine and lived it. It's small but a lovely set up. The feel is upscale yet comfortable. Tables aren't on top of each other. Waitstaff are very attentive. We had the chilled asparagus soup, delightful, brussell sprouts, light and flavorful, and clam chowder a bit heavy on the bacon flavor but still tasty. For our main courses, lemon and pea risotto with the best scallops I have ever had. The schnitzel was pounded and fried perfectly. We had 2 German wines which were perfect pairing. We were too full for dessert but I would have had the cobbler. We will for sure be going back. read more

An intimate and elegant restaurant with great wine knowledge, attentive staff, and overall wonderful ambiance. I caught up with a friend over dinner here. The noise level was just right for having good conversations, warm with occasional laughter but not too loud. The restaurant is located in what used to be Bistro Michel. This new setup does not use the bar area at the south end, but they will likely expand into it as business grows. Also good to know that there are two entrances and either one will work. I had the vindaloo, my friend had the Thai curry mussels, and we shared the pizetta. The pizetta was excellent! I liked the combination of cheese and arugula. The curry was creamy and delicious, especially as a dipping sauce for bread. The wine recommended by staff for each dish was also on point; I wouldn't hesitate to go with their recommendations in the future. The only thing I didn't like was the vindaloo...the flavor just wasn't there for me and I found the squash slightly underdone. Would I return? Yes, for the wine and service. I would probably stay away from the Indian dishes. read more

From the ambiance to the food, is perfect!! It's a small restaurant with great staff. The food is always amazing and their selection of wine goes well with each meal. Their fresh lemonade during the summer is good as well. We enjoy ordering their Brussels sprouts for an appetizer - you won't be disappointed!! The last few times I've ordered the scallops and they tasted so fresh and they weren't over cooked or tiny! read more

We held our wedding after party here and the staff and food was A+mazing. They opened up outside of business hours so we could have the whole place to ourselves, which was relaxing and not an extra fee. My husband and I drove up to the restaurant and Dave come up to (1) open my door, (2) help me navigate the muddy area in my dress and heals to the overhead to avoid the sprinkles, and (3) announced us entering and leaving. I admit, I was initially like, "who the heck is this guy?" but they were all so genuinely respectful, thoughtful, and silly. Also, my sister made our wedding cake and they presented it guiding us through the tradition of our choice (no extra charge or cake cutting fee), plated for each person, and added the perfect fruit decor accents. Oh, yeah this is in addition to managing different dietary requests for our party of 12. The atmosphere and staff were exceptional. I give the highest recommendation possible. read more

I've just got done dining at Tablevine and was so glad that I did. The service and the food was worth doing a 5 star Yelp review. I ordered the short ribs and my date ordered the Peking duck. The flavors were to perfection on each of the entrees. I never had short ribs that were prepared better. The meat literally melted in my mouth. Prior to dinner we had the clam chowder which was the beginning of the taste feast to come! The kitchen spaced out our orders perfectly. We never felt rushed and there was no delays between our orders. They have a full bar and have a bartender that makes some of the best craft cocktails in Sacramento. If you haven't been to Tablevine yet, please do yourself and your palate a favor and enjoy this midtown gem. read more

Good, a bit overpriced (I think you're paying a bit for midtown -which is convenient) and the decor is a bit plain. That said, it's friendly (the owner is a mensch who will come out and talk to and interact with patrons, new or regulars) and if you order well (I got salmon once) it's quite good. It's definitely worth going to. Oh, and nice wine selection. read more
