The Vine Restaurant - carbonara - New American Near Me - Grants Pass, Oregon

Me and my boyfriend were celebrating our anniversary here. Cute, not-too-upscale place thats got such a nice vibe. The food was delicious. I had the chicken marsala with some pasta on the side. (The chicken marsala doesnt come with pasta but we were able to get some fettuccine on the side!) Our waitress was so kind and understanding. If we ever come through Grants Pass again, this will be a staple! read more

The food was ok nothing spectacular..The man that greeted us shows no emotion barely spoke to us and looked like he hated the world. On the other hand the waiter' was amazing, bright and cheerful, and made our evening very comfortable and we can not thank her more. read more

I think it's the best lasagna and chicken marsala in town. Not to mention the fried calamari and the spumoni.. if you go ask for Sue as your waitress. She's really good. We've had her as our waitress at least a half dozen times... super friendly, super helpful just all-around great place to enjoy a great dinner. read more

I think people need to temper their expectations with the fact you're in basically rural Oregon. This isn't a city, it's definitely a small town. I came here after finding it on the Find Me Gluten Free app. I came here because I have Celiac disease and read the owner of someone related to the owner is also a Celiac. Ambiance is definitely Italian restaurant in small town America. It's at the end of a strip mall near the Albertsons market. My menu was a printed paper that had gotten wet and then dried so the ink for the drink menu was smeared. Waitress was nice. She let me know that the fried foods and the desserts were gluten-free. I was disappointed to find out that making the food gluten-free is an undisclosed upcharge and that there wasn't any gluten-free bread. I got the appetizer of fried mushrooms for $15 which I felt was a bit much for button mushrooms rather than a fancier fungi. I had the $24 gluten-free chicken parmesan and while it was fine, I think I'd go with something else next time. My husband got the regular pasta and ordered the $23 carbonara, not even looking at his menu. That was a mistake because their carbonara is a mushroom cream dish and my husband hates mushrooms. "Carbonara" is a specific dish - cured pork, eggs, hard cheese and salt and pepper. Imagine ordering bolognese and it being full of mushrooms as the default. It's odd. My husband ordered wine and I got an Italian soda in guava flavor. Usually I'm sucking down 4-5 glasses of water but the water here was the local tap water which has a strong mineral taste. Overall, the meal was okay but I was a bit disappointed as a Celiac. Visited October 2024. read more

What a fantastic restaurant! Food, service, ambiance and price all on point. We travel to Grant's Pass frequently from the coast and The Vine is always on our list of must do's while there. Always great food and service. We dined there yesterday 3/11/26 and were served by a server that's been there for quite some time and had waited on us before. I forgot to get their name but a real asset to the company. Don't miss out on this place read more

Not what we expected. Restaurant in a shopping center. It was convenient. We were blown away. Very attentive service. Dalton was our host and waiter. Very polite and professional. Oh and bartender too. He did it all and did it very well. Just enough attention without being intrusive. Then there was the food. I had the spaghetti with meatballs. My wife had the salmon. Both came out looking like a five star restaurant. Wonderful presentation. Then we dig in and were very happy with the quality and flavor. We will definitely return. read more

Customer service when ordering was good but this is the worst eggplant parmigiana I've ever had unfortunately. The eggplant was one huge steak like slab that was difficult to cut or chew perhaps from not being cooked thoroughly to soften it. My partner said the chicken parmigiana was ok but he said the noodles almost tasted microwaved. My chocolate gnocchi was put in the same bag as the hot food so the top melted off by the time we got home. Still tastes like chocolate so I don't care that much. Maybe we just went on a bad day since it was Wednesday but unfortunately I would never come here again even if the food was less expensive. I'm bummed because I have to find something else to eat because my eggplant isn't even really edible :( read more

I've been dining here with family and friends for years. I would say it one of the better Italian restaurants in Grants Pass. The location off in the corner of a local shopping center is a bit unassuming, but once you go inside it's a welcoming retreat. I usually get their chicken piccata or their beef short ribs. Both are always on point and very satisfying. The staff is friendly and attentive without being pretentious. The food comes out hot and is generously sized. If you're looking for tasty Italian food I recommend this establishment. Truth... read more

Great news! The Vine is still awesome & the little energetic misunderstanding with the server I spoke of has blown over in a really beautiful way. One of the last experiences I had there she was our server & it ended with her bringing me a slice of their delicious chocolate torte on the house & a hug at the end of the meal! The food is still top notch! The Vine continues to be a staple of the area for friendly, affordable semi-fine dining. It's fresh & delectable & everything is made to order & in house. Also - budget tip: you can split any plate with someone for $2 & I swear it's the perfect portion for each person. So you're basically getting 2 meals for an up-charge of 2 bucks! Can't beat that! Their soups blow my mind every time & their rotating veggie app is always divine! This place is a real gem. Quaint, chill & just casual enough to not feel like a stuffy "high end" experience. I prefer the best of both worlds & this place is the very definition! read more

Anniversary dinner was fantastic! Food, service and ambience was great. We went back the next week and took our parents and cousins (party of 12) very accommodating and again amazing flavors of fantastic food!! read more

We tried The Vine on a Thursday evening about 6pm. We met our daughter for dinner, she has just moved to Grants Pass and we were visiting. The Vine is located at the end of a strip mall that includes Albertsons and several other businesses. When you enter you would never know it wasn't a stand alone business. We were seated in the back room next to a wall that had twinkly lights which were so pretty. Now for the meal... My daughter ordered the blackberry cocktail and it was really quite good, it was served in a champaign glass with a sugared rim. I opted for the limoncello spritzer it was so good I had 2. Hubby had a Peroni. We started with the roasted garlic appetizer it arrived with a full bulb of roasted garlic, a thick slice of cheese that was a combination of Brie and Gorgonzola it was delicious, and sliced baguette. We would definitely order it again. My hubby had his standard Spaghetti and meatballs he said it was very good. I had Chicken Piccata which I enjoyed but would have preferred a heartier type of pasta, it is served with angel hair and I'm just not a big fan of angel hair. I should have paid more attention but nevertheless it was delicious. Our daughter had the Lemon Basil Shrimp, this to me was the standout dish of the night, even if it was served on angel hair. It was light but still had a depth of flavor that had you taking "just one more bite." I will order it the next time we go back. I was disappointed that they don't have oglio and olio on the menu, it's my favorite Italian dish but to be honest very few restaurants do offer it so I wasn't surprised. All in all we enjoyed our experience at The Vine and look forward to our next visit. read more

Me and my girlfriend came in to celebrate our anniversary. The food was great, and service was even better. We had a misunderstanding with an item on the menu, and when asked our waitress (Sue) was incredibly helpful and polite, and resolved everything quickly.

We ate at the Vine two Fridays ago -- this after not eating there for 4-5 years. We were really pleased with all aspects of our meal experience: the ambiance of our seating arrangement was very good, we had an excellent, long-time server who was very attentive to our meal needs, and our dinner was excellent. I had the traditional spaghetti and meatball, my wife their carbonara. Both meals were well prepared, tasty, and had larger portions than we anticipated. All in all this was a good experience -- we plan to return soon! read more

5 star Chef quality foods. Friendly experienced staff. Warm and Cozy comfort ambiance.

Chicken Parm was very good. Nice breading, the right amount of cheese and liked the sauce. Normal spaghetti and generous portion gave me another full meal. Chicken Piccata was okay the chicken was a bit chewy but that can happen. Appreciated they allowed a substitute of veggies for pasta when asked and they were very good. Everyone liked the chocolate cake and I also think the creme brûlée was enjoyed. We did have a group of 6 and it took longer than expected for the meals to come out. They do bring free bread to fill you up while you wait. read more

We've been here in the past and was great but recently went and wasn't the same. First wasn't all that busy but took forever to get our food and when it came wasn't as good as in the past. Ordered a bottle of wine and got upsold because supposedly didn't have the one we wanted. Not the same great experience as before read more

Our first stop at GP was at the Vine restaurant! This is a favorite of our friends and I understood why after dining here. Staff was very welcoming. They were super busy but had time to greet us with a smile. Our waitress made some recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. A gentleman (Dustin?) checked on us. Shared a story or two about the restaurant and his roots to GP. I love the personal touch the entire interaction had. Meals were prepared fresh. You can literally taste it in every bite. Sauces are very light, yet packed with flavor! We loved it! Mrs. shared her Chicken Carbonara with Ian. Both of them loved their dish! I had their Chicken without any pasta. Lemon was not overpowering. It was faint, mingled well with the sauce and gave every bite of chicken a rich taste. This is how restaurant food should taste like! Not greasy, not light/bland. Just the right connection to your palate! Definitely one of our highlights during our GP trip. If you guys are in the vicinity, you must dine at The Vine! read more

We had dinner at the Vine Restaurant last night. The food was delicious! We tried several menu items and the creativity, flavors and portion sizes were great. The seared calamari appetizer was flavorful and served on top of an ancient grain. The soup of the night was a chowder filled with salmon, sweet potatoes, corn and coconut. Our entrees were also very good- I had the chicken piccata and my husband ordered the pot roast. We have enough food left over for dinner tonight. I should also mention the cocktails were tasty too. Thank you to our servers Sue and Dalton who provided exceptional service on our stop in Grants Pass. read more

I admit it's been a few months since I've come back here. It may be a good bit longer before we return. This was my favorite Italian restaurant. Tonight was just so disappointing. We made a reservation, and when we arrived on time expecting to be seated immediately, we ended up waiting 15 minutes while the young hostess seated others without a reservation. It was puzzling and annoying. Someone needs to explain to her the purpose of having a reservation. While we perused the menu, we watched the people around us as we usually do. The wait staff seemed to be confused and not sure what their job was supposed to be. The young bus boy kept walking around as if he were searching for something. I'm not sure if he knew what was expected of him. He didn't really clean up the empty tables; as the waitress was doing that in between serving customers. The employees seemed to be wandering aimlessly, trying to figure out what was to happen next. The food had been the entire reason we came here, but this time was so disappointing as to make it a total failure. The lasagna was very salty with so much cheese on it, and the sausage was overcooked. I recognized one noodle layer, and that was well hidden by all the cheese. Hardly any sauce, and I think it was supposed to have spinach, but that was hard to tell. I loved coming here, but this was a total failure from the start. I'll think about coming here again long and hard, as well as recommending this to anyone. read more

We were late going home from a lovely day in Ashland so decided to find a local eatery thereby eliminating having to stop again. The selection descriptions had my mouth watering and made it hard to decide what to have. We were seated immediately even though the place was quite busy. I finally chose the Chicken Piccata and my husband, the Bosciaola after our attentive waitress Darian described the dish - the menu didn't explain anything beyond the ingredients. We were both very pleased with our meals - the portion size, tastiness and preparation of each dish. We definitely look forward to our next visit! read more

Such a great restaurant! Lovely to find such a GF gem. We had a fabulous dinner and great service. We'll be back!

We had a delightful dining experience this evening. Every table was filled with diners. So wonderful to see. Our food and wine and service were all amazing. We love the vibe, so welcoming and comforting and fun. The quality and authenticity of the food and wine are amazing. Thank you. read more

I love The Vine! The food is amazing and very reasonably priced. The drinks are fun and delicious; I always get a lavender French 75 and my husband the barrel aged manhattan. They have a great wine list, including a lot of local and Italian wines. The ambience is pleasant. I always enjoy the waitstaff. I love taking family and friends here. They always mention it and their favorite menu items. My mom loves the lemon shrimp; my faves include the boscaiola, pollo alla Marsala, and the carbonara di pollo. My husband loves the calamari and everyone loves the aglio arrosto e Cambozola. Of course, we always end with the spumoni! read more

All the sauces are too sweet masking the flavors experienced in Italy or other Italian restaurants.

Was okay, will try again and choose different dishes to try. Service was good and it's a small quaint restaurant.

Good food, large portions, I'd definitely go back and get the same meal. Service was fine read more

This absolute gem of a restaurant captured our attention about 6 months ago on a previous visit, and our experience was so good we had to visit again. I hope the residents of Grants Pass realize what a great restaurant they have! The manager said a local poll rated it the fifth best restaurant in town. I'd say more like the top five in Oregon. Let's start with our meal... No detail is too small. The presentations are inviting; it looks so good that you know it's going to taste good. The still warm focaccia our server brought us was good with either the whopped butter with finally chopped sun-dried tomato (I think) that came with it or the olive oil and balsamic vinegar requested. Nicely browned on the top, soft and flavorful in the middle. I ordered a Caesar salad that was perfectly prepared. Tossed lightly in a tangy Caesar dressing with what appeared to be freshly grated coarse Parmesan. The croutons appeared to be house-made. It was ample for the four of us (I. Fact I had a second helping and my palate was disappointed when it was gone). My entree was the Carbonara alla Pollo. In a word it was delicious! It's not classic carbonara, but as the manager told me it's the Southern Oregon version. Loaded with chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce with what seemed like a touch of Sherry topped with the coarse grated cheese, it was rich, mouthwatering and filling. I loved it! My wife had the Chicken Marsala, which she had on our previous visit. She will tell you it's the best chicken Marsala she's ever had. She's shared bites with me, and I have to say she's spot on. The wine list is good with a good variety and prices to suit every budget. Local Oregon wines, including from the Rogue and Applegate valleys, are featured. I asked our server for a wine recommendation and she unhesitatingly said the Zinfandel. With such an enthusiastic recommendation I tried it. She was right; darn good. And yes, I had it with my Carbonara. For dessert we shared a Crème Brûlée that was a quality match for everything else we had. A word about the staff: friendly, efficient, all on the same page. They clearly worked as a team, helped one another, and ensured a fine dining experience. The manager was working as hard if not harder than anyone -- carrying plates from the kitchen, helping the chef, helping the wait staff. It's a staff in sync and harmonious. This restaurant is on the west end of a strip shopping center, and well worth the effort to find it. I recommend it highly. read more

We ate at The Vine in Grants Pass on July 14, 2024. We stopped in because of great Yelp reviews and its location. The food was ok. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and my wife ordered the fettuccine alfredo. We each ordered a salad as a side for a $9 additional charge. My spaghetti sauce was very sweet. The salad a giant green piled mess. A small container of dressing on the side. You need to cut the greens into bite size pieces just to eat it. All along our trip I started watching menu prices for salads with dinners. None were more that $7 and most were $5-6. All were more tasty and easier to consume. Service was fine. Ambiance was meh as the restaurant is in a strip mall. read more

Food, Services, ambiance - amazing. Food tasted great! We ordered 4 different meals (one totally Gluten Free - GF) and we all loved them! In fact there was only one item on the menu that couldn't be made as GF. At first we saw it was in a strip mall and were seriously apprehensive. However they came recommended by another up-scale restaurant in town and we were so grateful because it was one of the best dining experiences ever/anywhere (and we are well travelled). I HIGHY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT... if ever you are in Grants Pass, Oregon... stop by and say hi... and arrive on an empty stomach! Their chocolate ganache for dessert was to-die-for! Amazing meal!! read more

I came here to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday with my family. We were absolutely thrilled with all of our food.

I will definitely be visiting this place again. read more

We don't live in Grants Pass but we're in the area for some business and it happened to be my birthday. I was looking forward to a good meal at The Vine. Unfortunately it was a disappointing experience and we probably won't be going back. We ordered a Caesar's salad and split it. It was very good but could have less rock hard croutons in it. The salad was the best part of the meal. I had a steak dish (Bristecca Piemontese) with garlic mash potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The vegetables consisted of butternut squash and Brussel sprouts. My first bite was of the Brussel sprout and it was rancid. I thought maybe it was just one. I tried another one and it too had a rancid taste and I spit it out. It was truly disgusting. I told the waitress right away and she offer to exchange the Brussel sprouts with more butternut squash. I told her I would just pick the Brussel sprouts out. My husband had a beef and rigatoni dish (Bocaiola). It was cold and the flavors bland. We would have considered dessert but just wanted to box up our remaining meal and head back home. I was hoping they would discount my meal or comp the salad but there was no offer of that. Our server was great and I think she felt terrible that our meal was subpar but it's not the wait staffs problem, it's the cooks and the owner/managers responsibility to ensure they're customers leave happy. I can tell you, we were not happy. read more
