The only reason I’m rating this restaurant with 4 stars instead of 1 is because of the quick response of Olivia.
On 9/26/2019 I ordered the Free Range Chicken Salad. When I received my salad the cucumbers were soft and translucent. I asked the girl behind the counter if the cucumbers were marinated...without checking she responded, “I think so”. Her coworker, Olivia, who overheard her, went to the kitchen to check and returned with a bowl of fresh cucumbers. I’m grateful for knowledgeable, conscientious people who go above and beyond to make sure a customer’s experience is enjoyable and safe.
Our first time dining here. There were pros and cons (or perhaps I should say disappointments).
Pros: new modern decor. Very clean looking. Nice sized portions. Was given a Clean Green Bowl by mistake- it was a yummy refreshing treat. Chicken bowl was large and very tasty.
Cons/disappointments: When the blender is running it’s very loud and hard to carry on a conversation. I see all the reviews about how friendly the staff is but we did not encounter that at all. Arrived at 7pm. Only other patrons were another couple. Two employees working and neither went out of their way to really welcome us or make suggestions. My Purple Veggie Rice Bowl was missing chickpeas (which I realized when I got home). It was good, healthy tasting, but very plain. When inquiring about which dressing went well with it they had no suggestions. I was just told what they offered. I got the blueberry vinaigrette which was good but the 2oz portion cup was only half full! As we left (we were the only ones there) we were not thanked, told good night, nothing. Not sure if we will return.
Our first experience at Vine was delicious. The staff was friendly and polite and the wait was not bad at all. The food was fresh and and full of taste. If you like smoothie bowls the Mermaid bowl was amazing. The color of the smoothie alone was amazing. We also had the Gluten Free Waffles and the texture and flavor was perfect. If you're looking for a great new spot in The Bern give Vine a try.
I had the Free Range Chicken and Applewood Smokes Bacon Wrap. It was delicious. Full of flavor and a very generous portion of chicken and bacon. The cheese was also very good. The side salad had a spring mix that was so fresh I could hear the fork pierce the lettuce. With flavorful tomatos and cucumber slices. I had a glass of fresh juice as well. The place looks great with very clean lines and a sharp simplicity of design. Bright white floor and walls highlighted by wonderful wood tones. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The outside seating area will be very popular also in the fall and spring months. Overall a very pleasant experience and I will be back.
Love this place! So excited that someone has finally give New Bern an alternative option and provided our town with the opportunity to patronize a restaurant that targets those that wish to live a clean and healthy lifestyle! Home Run!
