To keep this brief this isn’t a horrible restaurant I just don’t think it’s for me.. Starting with the drinks I forget the name but the strawberry flavored drink I had was a 10/10 and you can barely taste the alcohol (which to me is a good thing). I kept the appetizer basic and unfortunately it tasted basic as well..the mozzarella sticks were not only cold and flavorless but also extremely hard. Moving on to the main dish which was the chicken parmesan and it was a 0/10.. regarding the noddles our server told us that Italians tend to not fully cook the noddles which explains why the spaghetti was hard but what explains the flavorless chicken? Lastly the desert of choice was cheesecake and it was regular it’s pretty hard to mess up cheesecake.. just to add I will never go back because that same server chased us outside for a tip.

Very delicious food, coffee, and service. The place was packed, yet the service was very attentive and fast serving. I highly recommend their carbonara pasta and the French toast. I do not recommend their white sangria, which was more like sparkling water with citrus flavor.

The vines were great for my first time. My friend brought me out for brunch and the energy was popping. It was definitely crowded and the mimosa unlimited wasn’t too bad. I had the fried chicken which got me confused because it was not fried chicken. It was chicken tenders. If I have known, def wouldn’t order it. My friends had the steak and egg and the other one had pasta. The mimosas kept on coming which I like. I don’t think I’ll come back because the food wasn’t the best.

Verde on Smith was a pleasant surprise. The food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the salmon benedict which come with mixed greens and salad. My friend ordered the Royal Brunch which looked amazing. Everything was great until we left. We ordered coffee at Verde on smith. Apparently, though we asked for cream, we were given milk. My friend is lactose intolerant. Unfortunately, our massage appointment was unpleasant for her as she had to continually get up to use the bathroom.

I'm writing this review with only having visited one time. This is not typical for me. The calamari was so ridiculously delicious, I had to put the good word out. I am very weary of ordering calamari anywhere. It's always just the rings often purchased frozen from restaurant suppliers. This calamari is simply divine and melted in my mouth. It's a must order. Looking forward to coming back for another meal. Other notes- service is very friendly and attentive. Prices, particularly for this neighborhood, are good.

Loooved this place. They had a nice atmosphere and the food was amazing. We did the bottomless brunch (which not many places do on a weekday) which is 60minutes. On the 60 minutes we got at least 7 drinks each, the service was so good, we got refills immediately. The food was excellent. The outdoor seating area in the back has a retractable roof so they can adjust it if there is too much sun.
