The grill at Vine Ripe is like an old friend. I have eaten many many weeknight dinners after I get…read moreoff of work. The food feels like it nourishes my spirit. Idk if it's the flavors? Or the obvious care that they make each order? Tonight I got a Cali shawarma wrap after a long hiatus of not eating here(no particular reason). The wrap is such a perfect mix of flavors, it was stacked up with meat and constructed so well. Every bite hit nothing was wasted I ate every crumb. The character of the meat and the ratios of ingredients and flavors makes this basic wrap something that made me feel something. Eating it felt like having a meal with an old friend. Like when you haven't seen someone in a long time but when you do see them, nothings changed and you just effortlessly fall back into conversation like you had never left. Thank you Vine Ripe and those guys behind the grill. Ya'll are truly doing great work and I'm thankful I have the opportunity to eat here.

My significant other loves the Cali Shawarma wrap. Portions are huge, service is great. Same team always working. I love that it is connected to the grocery store, so we can browse when waiting for our food to be made fresh. Ambiance is very casual.

We ordered the 'That's My Boy' and 'Meet Meat' pizza plus their fries. Their deep dishes were light and crispy. I loved the sweet sauce, jalapeño and ricotta cheese combo on That's My Boy pizza. The Mastiff Fries had a wonderful crispy texture. They are like thinly sliced potato wedges. (Our order is without cilantro which normally comes with it) The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. They did have two tv screens playing the sports channel and had a variety of draft beer options.

The service was good and our server was friendly. The inside of the restaurant is spacious, has a bar and the outside patio has plenty of seating as well. By the time we left, the patio was full and the inside was pretty full too. We ordered two sets of Omelettes (California and Ensenada) and two sets of chilaquiles (red and poblano). The food was very tasty and everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We were especially impressed by the poblano chilaquiles (they had a nice kick to it). Overall, we would go back.

I was not impressed with the food or the service. My kids and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon,…read moreand the hostess let us know that they were only serving pizza and salad at that time. No problem. We were fine with that. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. Our waitress wasn't very welcoming and honestly seemed like she had mentally clocked out already. I understand there wasn't much to choose from, but we still felt rushed to place our order. We ordered the chicken pesto pizza, and when it came out, we didn't even have plates on the table. I'm not sure why our waitress didn't make sure we had plates before our food arrived, but I ended up having to flag down another staff member just to get some. Shortly after that, our waitress came over and told us someone else would be taking care of us. By that point, I was over the whole experience. I asked for a to-go box, packed up our pizza, paid, and left. The pizza itself wasn't anything memorable, and combined with the rushed and inattentive service, this visit was a disappointment.

The godfather was a lovely balance of sweet, savory, and a lil health from the arugula, zucchini, and tomatoes on soft bread. The torpedo sub was hefty but also refreshing with the vinegar/onions/lettuce. Theres also a bunch of goodies displayed around the store and a pizza spot next door so it was fun to browse while waiting for our sandwiches. You order, pay, and then bring your receipt to grab your sandwich.

Bland, not much flavor. Lots of meat.... However, they did not drain the meat after cooking it. So basically you're eating an awful lot of grease. Made me sick.. as I said I am Sicilian and have been making pizza for over 65 years. Pizza was Meh.... I would never eat there again. Food inside the deli was fine and they were friendly and helpful. Food in the pizzeria was terrible and they weren't terribly helpful. I had also taken to Arancini. Also pretty bland. Not all food needs to be interesting but when you're paying good money in a lousy economy, it should be better.

I came in person recently with 9 friends. They were able to accommodate us even though we were just…read morewalking in. The woman was super friendly even though it was a little chaotic. At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

The portion size for only $5 was a steal and what made it better was that the food was great. The pita bread was bouncy, the chicken had a delicious flavor unlike any chicken shawarma I've had, the lettuce was perfectly crunchy and the tomato was perfectly ripe. Not sure where they source their items from but wherever they're from, they've selected the best. I also had a lovely experience when I picked up my food. The manager, Tom, was very attentive and let me take some samples of their unique salsas. Those were also yummy. Overall, great experience. Oh, if you can, buy a small container of their homemade garlic sauce. Best I've ever had.
