    The dude and I
    Angie R.

    The dude and I came here for an early date happy hour in Danville on July 3, 2021. I believe happy hour was from 4 to 6 pm and we arrived about 5pm on the dot. We were greeted by the hostess and seated immediately however we didn't get approached for service until 5:35ish and felt like they were trying to drag out happy hour. Who knows. We weren't happy about the wait but we already knew what we wanted. I ended up getting the spiked Lemonade 9/10 and the dude (forgot his drinks but mine also) was delicious. Only $6 each and we got the Margarita pizza / flatbread which was so delicious for $6!!! It was nothing fancy but can't beat for the price at all!! I absolutely loved the cocktails here. And their happy hour is seriously the best. We were impressed with the quality of drinks and food. The staff was very friendly but just took forever to with everything. By the time we got our food and drinks happy hour was done and couldn't order another drink with the happy hour special which was a bummer. Totally willing to give this place a 5 star review but the wait to order was ridiculous. Will we come back? Definitely in a heart beat but hoping service is faster than what we received. It appears that the time we came that it was only outdoor seating which was nice. It wasn't too hot (was we were in the shade) and it was perfect sipping on the cocktails observing Danville at its Finest. I adore the scenery here, very relaxing and good music too! The dude and I overall, enjoyed ourselves here and so glad we had the opportunity to try this establishment out. They do have wine tasting and over heating the ladies next to us they don't have a flight of their own so you have to build one and be charge per glass the way the server explained it to them. The inside absolutely appears beautiful. I didn't go inside but peaked in as I was curious. The crowed started to pick up pretty quick and on the other side their outdoor patio was very full!! We had so much fun here! We want to come back again soon! GET THE SPIKED LEMONADE you can thank me later!

    Spiked lemonade and Moscow mule for Happy Hour
    Rosie M.

    Phew, we made it to happy hour. I'm so glad that happy hour doesn't end at 5pm because then I'd still be at work. From the happy hour menu, we ordered two nibblers and two drinks. Beef Short Rib Street Tacos with cilantro slaw and lime. The beef was very tender and dressed well with lime juice. These tasted better than they looked. They look like normal tacos, but then you take a bite and you taste the tender beef short ribs and it's the lovely experience. Warm Brie with Seasonal Fruit Compote, brandied pecans, coppa, and fresh herbs. I was worried that this dish would be too big but they were small slices of cheese with several toasted slivers of bread. The brandied part of the pecans was so very difficult to notice that we didn't notice it at all. Spiked Lemonade with lemon infused vodka, mint, house simple syrup, and soda. If you like sour lemonade, then I totally recommend this spiked lemonade cocktail. I pretty much love lemon anything. My date loves lemonade but not when it's too sour so this was not his favorite drink but it was mine! Moscow Mule with vodka, ginger beer and lime served in a chilled copper mug. This drink is pretty much what you would expect from a Moscow mule. Nothing special, it is just a good normal cocktail. What we didn't try were the burgers or the salmon which was recommended to us and it sounded really tasty we just weren't that hungry today. The server was exceptional and I do love really great service so that's why these four stars are here because the food was bumped up by the service alone.

    Warm Brie with Honeyed Apple

    We are almost on that sweet spot where we have breezy but pleasantly warm evenings. The country back in business, the towns have got their hustle bustle back too! We strolled our way in randomly picked the vine and spirits due to the spot next to lively street and heater! It was indeed a good decision. We chose to sample local Syrah and French Sauvignon and really liked it. We had warm Brie with honeyed apples, flatbread with vinaigrette , baby arugula and coppa. Our host was pleasantly courteous to order one more without coppa! They also made sure we were warm even after hours while we sat couple hours enjoying the wine. Shout out to the chef for making perfect miso salmon with carrot jus and red rice post kitchen closing. Extra star for the hospitality and warmth! We'd be back here for sure!

    Horseradish Crusted Atlantic Salmon with Dill Crema (5 stars)
    Daniel C.

    Review is for takeout via Doordash during COVID19 SIP: The current SIP orders in the Bay Area make dining out impossible, while having a newborn at home makes cooking and washing dishes less practical. Imagine waking up every 3 hrs to feed a baby! For times like these, Doordash is wonderful despite added delivery fees, driver tips, and limited restaurant options. Vine and Spirits was recently added to Doordash. I've never been to the physical location in Downtown Danville. Their menu intrigued me since it reminds me of food you might find in an upscale gastropub like nearby Revel. Herb Crusted Salmon was a great dish: meaty, perfectly seasoned, and sporting a nice crispy crust. I was a big fan of the veggie side dishes of black olives, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and roasted potatoes. The veggies added nice color, acidity, and balance to the dish. Well worth the $22 entree price. Crispy Cauliflower is a bit of a misnomer, since its more soft than crispy by the time the food arrives. I'm a big fan, since the flavors reminded me of Indian cuisine with the use of raisins, curry, and toasted pepitas for crunch. It was way less mushy than the Aloo Gobi from Cafe Tandoor I had the other day. Fried Sweet Potatoes were these long and thick french-fries that also turned slightly soggy rather than crispy from the delivery time. The flavors were still good - a bit of sweet-on-sweet with maple soy glaze, feta, and pecans added to spiff up the dish. Overall, one of my pricier Doordash dinner orders, though very satisfying and good. 4 stars.

    Terrific treat! My husband and I like to bring our dogs for a late afternoon/early evening stroll. The Vine is one of our preferred stops. Wonderful selection of wines, and terrific bites to go along with whatever you should choose.! we always enjoy the outside seating, and the service is outstanding!

    This place is beautiful. They also have outside sitting. Perfect for date nights. They have a big selection of wine and liquor drinks. Sergio the bartender was amazing, amazing service. His drinks were so good. The manager Brittney came to check in that I absolutely loved. I felt very welcomed. I look forward to coming again. This is place you brag to friends, family and even strangers.

    BlackBerry Bliss Martini

    I've been wanting to come here for years since I love Bridges so much so I decided to try it out for a quick drink before dinner. The blackberry bliss was amazing -- I am a sucker for seasonal drinks so I loved the seasonal options. Our bartender was so sweet and extremely attentive. I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back (:

    I'm a fan of the Vine! The Vine at Bridges, not to be confused with Bridges Restaurant, is a cute little wine bar and tasting room that's nestled in downtown Danville. I actually discovered this little spot while I was on my way to visit a friend at Bridges. It was my first time going to both Bridges and the Vine, but I actually got confused and ended up going to the Vine on accident. I got there a little early, so I decided to sit at the bar while I waited on my friend to arrive. The inside is very attractive! The décor is very modern with a mellow color scheme, beautiful artwork, and unique lighting. There are a couple of spots where you can cozy up on their sofas. This place definitely has date night vibes written all over it! They have some great daily specials throughout the week and a daily happy hour from 4-7! Yes, you heard me correct; their happy hour is DAILY, Boo! Happy Hour is practically my first name, so you know I was all over it! They have a nice little wine list and they also offer a few different wine flights as well as dinner and light appetizers. Since I made it in time for happy hour, I ordered their seasonal pizzetta and a glass of their 2015 Alias Pinot Noir. The pizzetta was scrumptious! At first glance, it didn't look the most appealing. But after trying a slice, I was instantly sold! The seasonal pizzetta is a flatbread that's topped with soppressata, pear, manchego, bacon accented arugula, and house potatoes. Not really sure what some of those toppings really are, but all you need to know was that it was GOOD! The culmination of flavors went together perfectly and the arugula added an immense amount of freshness to everything. For house wine, the Pinot Noir was actually pretty good, and the bartender really hooked it up with the pour! The Vine is also a wine shop and they conduct tastings on the other side of the room. The tasting room was packed the night that I went in! The tasting room is open until 7pm! Great hours for those who can't usually make the standard 9-5 window. I wish I could have spent a lot more time here than I did, but I realized that I had actually went to the wrong spot to meetup with my friend who has been waiting at the Bridges Restaurant just across the street! Yikes! But honestly, I'm happy that it ended this way because I wouldn't haven't discovered this little gem. I told my friend about it once I met up with her at Bridges, and she was excited to go back for happy hour. Such a nice find in Danville!

    Great vibes and amazing food. Service is great and they have by far the best espresso martini downtown Danville!

    Tacos, pizza, and shrimp lettuce wraps.
    Jack C.

    After reading a few Yelp reviews, i was expecting to wait 20 minutes or more for our food and drinks. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent service. Our waitress took our order and in about 5 minutes, we received our drinks. I loved the spiked lemonade. We arrived on a Saturday at about 5:00 pm and it was about 90 degrees and we sat outside under the canopy. Happy hour is until 6:00 pm. We ordered a few items from the happy hour menu, and the shrimp lettuce wraps from the regular menu. Food was good. Nothing special about the pizza and tacos. The fried rice balls could use more sausage, it only had a tiny bit of minced pieces of sausage. By the time we were done, they had two guitar players as entertainment, playing outside next to where we were sitting.

I did not even think to alert my friends about what I read because I thought after reading other Yelp reviews and looking up their Instagram posts with beautiful photos and people looking like they were enjoying this restaurant, that what was described in that 1-star review must have been a rare occurrence. Boy was I wrong because to my dismay when we arrived at their restaurant door last evening, it happened to us and I did not want to believe it, but all the evidence was there to show they were in fact, CLOSED. Two other customers and our group arrived at the same time in advance of our 6pm reservation time, only to see their door closed, lights off, with nobody inside. We were confused not only because we did not receive a message notifying us that their restaurant would be closed and our reservation needed to be canceled, but also because the customers who arrived when we did said they had booked their reservation yesterday, meaning the reservation system was still active. What's more is we did not see any signage on their door or windows about being closed, but instead we saw an EBMUD notice on the door stating water service payment was overdue, which we were not expecting to see upon our arrival. Our group needed to quickly figure out a plan B for our birthday celebration dinner, as our friend had planned and reserved The Library Social Club over a month ago. I dine at many restaurants and any time there needs to be a change or cancelation for any reason by a restaurant business, I have received an e-mail, a text, or a phone call alert, as a customer courtesy call, and I have at the very least, even seen hand written notes on restaurant doors and windows as signage alerting customers of their business being closed. Needless to say, we were disappointed and frustrated by this incident today. We drove from out of town to try this restaurant that was not even open when customers had reservations. Fortunately, our friend proposed a different restaurant that we could walk to and they sat us promptly upon arrival. We enjoyed their delicious food instead!

The place was super lively and honestly pretty packed during my visit on a week night. The lounge itself is on the smaller side, but cozy. I like the concept, there are wire racks on the wall and each table has a little wooden game board on top (mine was Chinese checkers), such a cute touch and makes the place feel a bit more interactive. Their signature cocktail menu has a lot of options, but since it was our first time, we asked the bartender for a recommendation. He suggested "Meet Me In Pearis" since we wanted something vodka-based. The drink took about 10-15 minutes to come out, which felt a bit long, but it looked like he was the only one working, serving two big parties plus a few tables, so I get it. Service overall was still good and he was nice the whole time. For the drink... honestly, it didn't really wow me. Both the flavor and presentation were pretty underwhelming. It kind of tasted like a glass of sangria to me. I guess with "Artisanal" in the name, I was expecting something a little more unique or elevated. Overall, great location, nice vibes, and I like the interior concept. Service was solid too. Just wish the drink matched the same level. Probably wouldn't come back, but glad I got to check it off my list.

The entire collection of wine was exposed to heat and ruined but they are still selling it to unknowing customers. Many of the wines that I inspected had corks bulging out past the foil and were discolored. The Syrah I picked and thought was safe looked good but under the foil, the cork was bad and yes the wine was rancid. I wish that was just a side story but the glass of wine I purchased was also foul. It was the most expensive Napa Cab they serve. I asked a few times how long the bottle was open and he did not know but guessed maybe a night or two before. This tells me a few things; they are not keeping wine fresh or pumping out the air or using a Coravin system for example. They are not writing the date opened even. Also in my personal opinion, the wines here are the lower tier to keep pricing down and profits high. It just makes the experience low for the customer. Lastly I did have a cheese plate and it was also terrible. The staff have no knowledge of wine. So it just ends up being a happy hour place for people to drink cheap wine. I'm sorry for the former failed business and appreciate trying to take it over but the business model is not working. It's not worthy of business woman of the year unfortunately. Lesson learned: Californians know wine!
