Beef Strogaboff
Madeline E.

Ol'Vine was great, fresh and had wonderful service. The wedge salad was outstanding. The produce was crisp and overall the ingredients had a perfect ratio of cheese to lettuce to toppings. They have wonderful ranch and blue cheese dressing. The salad was a strong 9/10, but I'm partial to any good wedge. My sides were also super satisfactory. The mashed potatoes have a nice garlic taste, and the sautéed mushrooms were exceptional. My entree itself was good, but I make a really tasty meatloaf at home, so I was a little disappointed that theirs wasn't as moist and flavorful. However, it was a good meatloaf, and if that is something you enjoy, this is a great place to try.

Great place, often forgotten about among the other Brookside greats. We really like the chicken piccata and the beef stroganoff off the dinner menu. The stuffed mushrooms are my favorite from the appetizers. Be sure to ask for bread bc they have a delicious herbed butter, but I've noticed that don't generally bring it out with most entrees (maybe bc we usually get pastas?). They have several tasty choices on the cocktail menu, including the Gardener, and sometimes I have it made with vodka instead of gin (I get nasty gin headaches). Definitely don't forget about this place for happy hour. They have discounted cocktails, pizza and burgers from 3-6pm Tuesday thru Friday. The patio is very nice, but noisy bc it's right out front on Brookside. If you're looking for quieter outdoor dining, they have tables on the back patio as well.

Chicken Piccata

Food tasted great. Only comment, it was disappointing that the 5-6 pieces of asparagus were all ends. My impression is that the premium tops were reserved for another dish. The wine was excellent

Cauliflower crust pizza

We finally got to eat at Ol'Vine (we hear the name is changing to 'Vine') and it was just okay. We were steered by our server to try the pepperoni pizza with a cauliflower crust. The crust was undercooked and made the pizza too heavy with the pepperoni, so instead the pizza just was kind of soggy. It honestly tasted like a frozen pizza warmed up in the oven for a bit. I wouldn't recommend trying the pizzas. The hostess told us that her favorite dish was the citrus chicken so I decided to give that a whirl. It actually had a lot of flavor and the chicken was very juicy. The citrus garlic sauce was savory and delicious. I loved that it was served with mashed potatoes but I would have liked some kind of green as well (asparagus or spinach maybe?). If I go back, I'll get the chicken again!

You can skip the narrative, go to bullet points @ bottom. *** Really torn between 1* and 2*. I'll let you decide. We arrived shortly after 5:30 on Friday, as we often do, w/o reservation. As you may know, we do this mostly on purpose to gauge service. We've walked in w/o res' in Paris, Brussels, Curaçao, London, Athens, Istanbul, NYC, NOLA, Crete, Boston, Bruges, Rome, Torminia, Barcelona, Miami, Santorini, Rhodes, etc. I could go on & on, we've always been welcomed and 1/2 time it's in the rain. (See review of Emeril's please) The host perused the res book f o r e v e r & finally asked if a booth would be okay. It didn't occur to me until later that the tiny booth, on the "walkway", facing the front door really wasn't a choice seat. But we were in a good mood, just happy. I'm going to finish this bogus res thing first: We were the *ONLY* people there except for a private geriatric party in back room. Another couple came in and sat at the bar. At 6:00 the next couple came in w/ no res and were seated in the main room, front window. (I had the perfect seat to watch/listen). The next couple that came in seated themselves at a high top. The next couple of women came in as we were leaving, being seated in a large booth on the "walkway", grumbling; I heard the word "reservation". OpenTable @6:45, every time slot was *open*. OpenTable @8:00, all remaining time slots were *available*. OpenTable, total res for Friday, 13. So why do you choose to treat people this way? It's Tulsa Oklahoma, people. Get over yourselves! We'd love a neighborhood spot where we could pop by and garner some respect. Our neighborhood bistro in Houston always met us w/ drinks. And once fed us after hours. They have no house wine, which is fine. They have LaCrema Chardonnay (waiter called it the house wine) @ $10 a glass. Waiter's entree recommendation was based on my white wine. But I really wanted the gnocchi. So tempting -- "wild mushrooms, arugula, walnuts, truffle oil cream sauce". We started w/ the roasted cauliflower--"miso broth, bonito flakes, pine nuts, scallions". $9. Delicious. As an experienced gnocchi eater I inquired, "Is the gnocchi sautéed before its sauced?" Gnocchi should be sautéed for a light, crispy exterior before being sauced. It's about texture *and* flavor. You know, "brown tastes good!" And as a friend said,"Well, otherwise it's just a dough ball!" Waiter asked the "chef" and reported that, yes, it's sautéed first. Oh, please. See pictures! They not only were NOT sautéed, they were on the large side. That's one big, doughy bite. Just unpleasant. And. . . .the walnuts were raw, see photo. I had a few bites, fished for hidden arugula, but was so angry at being lied to w/ the addition of cold, raw walnuts, I was just done and ate some of hubby's "pear Gorgonzola, honey pizza". The favors were good but hubby said the crust was hard. I kept saying I tasted sugar. He reminded that honey was suppose to be on it. I said, "No. I feel and taste sugar." See pix. As we walked across the back patio to our car, hubby said, "Boy, we've spent a lot of time out here," motioning to the patio around us. Indeed. So many delightful memories on that crowded patio. Rolling in after work, special occasions, holidays. Later, I ordered pizza. **don't show up w/o res, they like empty tables as OpenTable verifies **no "House" wines, but fair pours, fair prices **they will lie about preparation. Go to Bodean's for gnocchi.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes
Danessa S.

This is my first time having dinner here and it was amazing. I usually attend this place for happy hour drinks but decided to grab a bite to eat. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with roasted veggies. Decently priced might I add! With a large portion! #Winning

Let me just say that we ended up here as a plan B, but it worked out great. (Our plans were to eat at a "Hot & New" place in Brady but we passed on the hour and a half wait.) I had been wanting to try Ol'Vine so we drove to Brookside. No wait here which was nice but the place was deserted which always makes me pause. There were lots of staff on hand and they seemed to be celebrating the winning of the giant spoon (Taste of Brookside) from the night before. Our server was efficient but she seemed to be the only one working. The wine by the glass selection was outstanding. Had a few local beers but nothing on tap. Our salads were great (ordered the wedge and the field greens). I would highly recommend the latter which came with a vinegary dressing and creamy goat cheese. One of us ordered the Citrus and Garlic Grilled Chicken which was a stand out. Everything on the plate was delicious. Highly recommended!!!! We also sampled the Wild Mushroom Gnocchi which was OK. I think we will be back!

Catfish to go - a little bland, but well cooked. Grits were delicious.

New ownership / similar concept / rebranded from the old Sonoma. Tried Ol'Vine with a group of 6 -- just a weekend after their open in late February. Great dinner, helpful staff. Impressive wine list, bottled beer, and some good modern classic cocktails. We had a range of appetizers: fried calamari - buffalo/ blue cheese dip - yum; also the crab cake - alright. For dinner, had the steak with the Gorgonzola crumble and the balsamic glaze- a little too fanciful for my taste. Sides were good. Wife reported she enjoyed her salmon. We tried the full array of 4 desserts - bueno! Service from our waiter and the GM was nice. Good spot to mingle as couples on a weekend. And mingle we did, with two of the couples nearly closing down the kitchen. I think the menu and management have a chance to improve upon the former Sonoma vibe. Even though I am marking this classy on the Yelp-choices below, I wouldn't hesitate to have dinner here in jeans & a golf shirt. Looking forward to coming back and trying it again for their lunch specials.

Salmon, Roasted New Potatoes, asparagus.

Updating my original review to add that they have brunch. REALLY GOOD BRUNCH!! The food was so good and they accommodated a table of 13 last minute and the service was still absolutely amazing! Everyone in our large group loved their food, we had absolutely zero complaints! Miranda & Misty have provided us outstanding service every time that we have visited. We have basically become regulars at the brunch at this point. Their stuffed french toast is SO GOOD. I cannot stop raving about it!

Looking forward to lunch! It smells amazing here!

We had a wonderful time lunching here today. We were talking too much for me to get great photos but I'll definitely be back. We had 3 appetizers and 2 salads. The cauliflower was my favorites app and the shrimp was Emmas favorite. We also got the fried avocado and it was good, too. Just neither of our favorites. The salad was fresh and delicious. I'm sad I didn't get a photo for you too see but they were beautiful and wonderful! The prices were reasonable enough fir a nice restaurant on the Brookside area that we expected the portions to be small. Again, wish I had a photo! I loved the salad and only had about 1/2. Give them a try! The interior decor is changed a lot from when Sonoma was here. It's much crosier. They also have outside dining in the front AND the back! Good for them! All in all we really enjoyed ourselves!

Good food. Terrible service, but at least they know it. I've gotten free appetizers/dessert every time I've been because it was so slow.

Love this place!!!! It is such a vibe and love bringing my friends here!!!!…read more Wish that the bartenders could have a friendly shot at the pool table with me it makes it so much of a more interactive bar scene that you cannot find!

Visited Sharky's on Brookside this past Saturday night and unfortunately, the experience started…read moreoff on the wrong foot. The door girl was rude and spoke to my group with an unnecessary attitude, seemingly just because we were younger. She questioned our valid IDs in a way that felt disrespectful and accusatory, which really set a negative tone before we even got inside. Once we made it in, we approached the front bar where a bartender--who I believe was named Michael based on what others were calling him--completely ignored our group. Instead of acknowledging us, he chose to carry on conversations with others and eventually left the bar altogether without saying a word. Thankfully, we decided to try the back bar, and that completely turned things around. The bartender in the back was wonderful--super attentive, friendly, and helped us pick the best drink options for our group. Her professionalism and great service are what made us decide to stay. However, one final issue stood out: after sitting in the back area for about 20 minutes, we saw the same front bartender, Michael, exit an employees-only room, and as he opened the door, a strong smell of smoke filled the air. It was unpleasant and surprising, especially since we thought Sharky's was a non-smoking establishment. Overall, the night had its ups and downs. Big shoutout to the back bar staff for turning our experience around, but the unprofessionalism at the front definitely left a bad impression.

This feels more like a pls e that's good for destination groups than local neighbor bars. Pro tip Ranch: if you're looking to cut calories order a ranch water from Juan. It's cucumber tequila with seltzer water and a lime. Ask him for a tiny splash of their margarita mix for extra flavor while keeping the calories low.

I really wish I remembered the drink I had the first time around, what I do remember is that it was really good. The drink I had recently was the Don Diego de La Ve & it's something I'd get again + would be my usual. Anything tequila, it's automatic (rum is right there at a very close 2nd) when it comes to an alcohol beverage + cocktail. Has addition of ancho reyes, a chile liqueur, that's super subtle in the drink along with lemon lime & agave. My homie looked at my drink & said that's something he should've ordered. *Side Note* I took a look at the menu & I'm convinced I had the Cousin Eddie (when I first visited this place). As I stated that rum is a close 2nd to tequila & the Cousin Eddie has Bumbu (rum) that I already enjoy on its own.
