We called ahead and were able to get a reservation for an early dinner at 6 p.m. The restaurant was…read morefairly empty when we arrived, but by the time we left about two hours later, it was completely packed. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow, which seemed to be mainly due to the restaurant being understaffed. Every part of the meal took quite a while, from drinks and appetizers to the entrees, but we tried to remain patient and understanding. We were two couples and ordered a mix of appetizers and entrees, and the food was excellent across the board. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and had just the right amount of heat. Thai & Vine has a bit of a hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant feel while also trying to offer a more polished, upscale dining experience. Most importantly, the quality of the food is phenomenal. I'm hoping the staffing issue was just an off night and not a regular occurrence, because the food alone makes this a place worth coming back to. With smoother service, this could easily be an outstanding dining experience.

You can tell they stay busy during the height of vacation season as people kept coming in and out picking up bundles. We started off with some gyoza and honestly, it was delicious. Both the dumplings themselves and the sauce they came with. We could have downed four orders of them alone. I ordered an udon noodle based dish which right now I can't remember the exact name of, and it was a little plain for me. Adding sriracha helped significantly, but on it's own, it did not excite me to eat. The sauce was thin and didn't real absorb into anything or stick to anything. Very watery. I think I'd go in a different direction next time, maybe try a curry. Overall, solid enough for the price, but I really wish Indochine still had their outpost nearby in Southport.

It was a $17 plate of bagged lettuce sprinkled with dried cranberries, a few cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese and a sweet bottled dressing on the side. Maybe some kind of nuts too- but nothing special. Certainly not a $17 salad. My husband got the seafood "platter". It was okay... again, nothing special. It had oysters, flounder and shrimp. All of it was heavily breaded and all tasted the same. My son's chicken tenders were dry and overcooked. They do give you bread while you are waiting for your food. The bread and butter/garlic spread was wonderful. Our server was prompt and attentive. He did seem like he was "in the weeds" and very busy. We sat at the bar while waiting on our table. The bartender man was the highlight of the entire experience. He was knowledgeable and friendly. He made my son a mocktail drink. It was the perfect treat for the hot summer evening.

Our friends had sushi and remarked it was better than where they usually go in Southport. My husband had a noodle dish he raved about and my hibachi entree, shrimp and steak, was also great.

Outdoor seating is available. Small tables inside and bar seating that was full. It seems the bar is a big hit. After reviewing the liquor menu, I see why. Some really good ones available. We were seated near the entrance at a small table. The server brought us water and took our orders after a few minutes. We ordered beef dumplings as an appetizer and we both ordered blackened ahi tuna tacos medium rare. The tacos come with chips and salsa. Our appetizer arrived fairly quickly and was great. As we were finishing our appetizer, our tacos arrived. From first glance they looked really good. Then everything kind fell after that. The flour taco shells were cold and looked store bought. The cheese was also similar to the store bought shredded Mexican blend. The sauce tasted like mayonnaise and ketchup mixed together. They use way too much purple cabbage with a nice portion of ahi tuna. The taste was ok. The cold shell and cheese kind of stole the flavor from the tuna. The salsa provided had a strange smoky almost chipotle flavor. I think. It left a strange aftertaste. We wanted to give this place a try. Not sure we'll be back. Our server was good. She was attentive and smiled. We still have her a cash tip that was pretty good. The restaurant has a great vibe and has a lot of regular customers, as evidenced by everyone greeting each other as they entered. Overall, I think three stars is fair. I recommend giving it a try, but not for tacos.

I finally got to eat at Loco Jo's. Three of us had lunch here five days ago…read more It's a small place with several tables and a bar. It's pretty small, so I don't suggest going with a large group of friends. Our waitress, Allison, was friendly and attentive. There's lots to choose from on the menu, including lunch specials. But I ended up ordering the buddha bowl, which had grilled pork. I asked for the Thai peanut dressing on the side. I never know how drenched a dish could be with the dressing. The bowl included rice noodles, cucumbers, other veggies. It also had sliced jalapeno peppers, which added a little kick, but still mild. One friend ordered the dumplings and a Caesar salad, while my other friend ordered the lemongrass curry with chickpeas. She wished she had it with chicken. Everything was delicious and flavorful, although the sliced cucumbers could have been seasoned or pickled. I brought home my leftovers, which I had for dinner. There was plenty of grilled pork, but unfortunately, four pieces were just fat and gristle . The chef needs to trim the pork properly and keep the chunks of fat/gristle out of the dish. That was disappointing. There are other items on the menu I would like to try. Overall, a very good lunch.
