Lovely place! Interesting foodie menu and an OMG wine list. Crab and corn chowder is delish! Turkey Apple Brie flatbread was perfect! Server Brandi was wonderful: friendly attentive and genuine. read more

I have been to the Vineyard many times over the years, and also sent many friends their way as well. I always enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere and knowledgeable service,and choice of wines. It was a great meeting spot between Baltimore and Philly, for my friends and I. Even when I quit drinking alcohol of any kind, I continued to meet my wine loving friends there. I brought in my own bottle of non-alcoholic wine (something the Vineyard does not offer on the menu), so I can enjoy a glass along side my friends. But then, this past October 22nd, 2016, I met a friend there with my usual bottle of non-alcoholic wine, fully expecting the normal "corking" fee and glass/pour. Instead, on this occasion, i was met with less then friendly, less than accommodating service who prohibited me from opening and drinking my non-alcoholic wine. When asked if I could speak to the manager or owner, she replied that she was indeed the manager on duty covering for the manager who was out of the country. My friend and I calmly spoke to her, explaining that the restaurant was basically empty (we were alone in the back room), that I had brought in my wine a couple times before without a problem, and that I had been a long standing patron of the establishment. She would not budge. She was arrogant, and acted as if letting people in with their non-alcohol wine would somehow hurt their business or be seen as competitive. I told her, "I could understand this if you offered a non-alcohol based wine on your menu, and I turned it down, preferring to bring my own in, but this is not the case. You guys do not offer an alternative". Still no budge. I can't believe we stayed but we did. However, I will not be going there in the future and I will be expressing my displeasure and poor experience to all the people i referred there over the years. read more

Nice atmosphere, but definitely not somewhere that you would take children. Try the 606 wine!

A break from the fried seafood fare that seems to predominate the eating establishments in town. It's a bit pinkies up, but not enough to bother me. I had a lamb flatbread, which was a bit dry (I ate all of it). Mt wife had cream of crab, which was characterically rich, and a caesar salad, which was like no other that we've seen; both were good, but not exceptional.The wine list is enormous, though we were in the mood for beer. Service was prompt. And I noticed that at 4 pm Saturday all of the tables in the place had reserved sign on them, which says something. read more

I absolutely love the atmosphere here. They are very well mannered and held our table to an extra 15 minutes (only a tad bit late). They also explained that the table was ours for the rest of the night. The assortment of wines was incredible, and they are more than available to answer your questions about what wine would be paired with a certain dish. read more

I highly recommend THE NINJA / 606 Wine by the bottle finish the night off with 606 Ice Cream.

So happy we found this place. The wine list is impressive and very affordable. The cheese plate was beautiful. What we thought was part of the plate design was actually balsamic vinegar and other sauces made to look like a bunch of grapes. Very pretty. Seating in the courtyard was nice until two spiders decided to build their webs above our heads. Yeah, we decided to cut our visit short because of this. Even though we all agreed how spiders do serve a purpose in killing mosquitoes, having them dangle above our heads was not comfortable. Will we come back again? Absolutely!! Aside from the critters, the wine list is impressive and the service was great. Maybe we will sit inside the restaurant on our next visit. read more

I love this restaurant! The food is absolutely amazing! You honestly can't go wrong with whatever you order. I've been here a few times with friends so I've tried most of the menu. The 602 wine is delicious, I would definitely recommend trying it. You can buy wine as a taste or by the glass. This is a really option if you don't want to commit to an entire glass of something new. The 602 wine is also used in their ice cream, you can either order a dessert portion or buy it by the pint. We had it for dessert and then bought 2 pints to take home. So definitely try it! read more

Finished up our anniversary night out here. This place is beautiful inside. We started off at the bar for a glass of wine and ended up in the "retail" area of the restaurant which is basically a room that feels like a cozy wine cellar. Fireplaces, wall to wall wine, and comfy couches make this a perfect place to have a night cap. We loved this! read more

Great ambience. Soothing decor. Tried them for the first time while visiting HdG. Service for their wine selection was very helpful. We sampled several 3oz wines and finished by splitting a dessert. I woudn't take my younger children but for a peaceful, adult escape it's a definite visit. read more

a great little find tucked away in Havre de Grace... amazing tapas plates and a wonderful wine selection with knowledgeable staff.. and the baked brie...mmmmmmmmm This is great for solo diners, friends, just leave the kids home on this one please.... great atmosphere and so relaxing.... menu is great and covers a wide range of tastes... read more

Went here to celebrate our anniversary. This place is amazing! The staff is wonderful. We got free champagne for celebrating there. The food is by far the best in HdG. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Fantastic food and ambience. Turkey and melted Brie(minus the green apples).....and fig butter....OMG

We ended up dining here twice during a four day Thanksgiving visit to Havre de Grace. In addition to a mind boggling selection of wines, the Vineyard offers a variety of "small plates" for lunch and dinner -- as well as some impressive desserts. The food was incredibly good, service excellent, and a memorably positive experience read more

This is the place to go to be introduced to a great wine that fits your taste. The food is excellent as well. The different flatbreads are the best you will find in this area! The entrees are unique and I have never had one I did not like! The only reason I did not do 5 stars is because I have noticed a change in how friendly the staff is. When we first started going to The Vineyard, the staff was wonderful, attentive and friendly. I knew it was not good when even my teenage daughters commented on the fact that some of the newer staff could at times be unfriendly and less attentive. read more

Great food, and one of the most extensive by-the-glass lists I've seen. A must visit in Havre design Grace.

To understand The Vineyard you need to reconcile two things. On the one hand, they don't do substitutions, even when you're asking for something really simple that shouldn't even be a speed bump for a competent kitchen. Even when you're asking for something that no other restaurant within a 100 mile radius would even consider a substitution. They don't entertain substitutions because their chef has spent many years perfecting these recipes and understands exactly how food should taste, and you don't get a vote. Oh, and they serve potato chips. Out of a bag. Not house made. With their perfect sandwiches. Seriously? read more

This establishment looks very good in a smal town with some real potential, but I found it rather devoid of warmth. I cannot testify for the food, but there are few tables and they are really small! The back room is terrific with a very comfortable lounge and a great place to taste a wine or chat. They are always chasing you out of there so they can get more people in. It's just not warm or inviting, and that's the thing I value most-- genuine friendliness and atmosphere. This is 2 star by my New York standards. read more

We have owned a property on the Eastern Shore for over 8 years now and I simply just can't do another restaurant famous for it's crab cakes and frozen drinks in plastic cups. If you feel the same, this is the place for you. We had lunch and will be back another time soon for dinner. The bartender was attentive but not invasive. We started with the strawberry fields salad (shared it) and I had the fig/prosciutto flat bread my husband had the pastrami and swiss on rye. All were excellent, truly. If I had one small criticism​, maybe a tad bit less of the fig on my flat bread. By the time I finished, it was a lot of sweet. We both loved the salad and I kept asking for a bite of that pastrami sandwich, crazy it's not really even something I'd normally crave. The other side of the restaurant features a retail wine shop, very reasonably priced and lots of interesting wines. Check it out. Nice place for a date or girls night. Private note to the owner: the young lady acting as hostess couldn't be bothered to even stand up long enough to show us to a table (find a seat anywhere) and seemed to spend the entire time we were there consumed with her phone/computer. This was not a deal breaker for us, but being this is the first impression for your new guests, thought you might like to know. read more

Awesome place in Havre-de-Grace. Large selection of wine. Crab soup was great, had a nice spice to it. BLTA sandwich was very good as well. Staff was very polite and friendly. Definitely will be going back. Highly recommended. read more

I cannot give this restaurant a single star. My husband I, along with our son and his girlfriend , were in their beer garden on the fourth of July. It was also First Friday's. We spent nearly two hours watching the crowd and enjoying beer and wine. My husband went into the restaurant to use the restroom and was accosted by the owner. He yelled "you have to ask me to use the restroom!" He shoved him into a pile of boxes and demanded he ask to use the restroom. My husband assured him we were having drinks outside. It was a horrible experience and a horrible way to be treated. I will be telling all of my friends not to patronize this establishment. We will spend our hard earned dollars elsewhere. I can't post this withiut giving it a star. It doesn't deserve it. read more

Went on a Friday evening with my wife. We know our wine but his was our first time here. Have heard many nice things. Tried to get a reservation online but nothing so called and got a table for two at 7 just as we hoped. We were told that the table was reserved at 9 so we'd have to be done by then. No problem and glad they mentioned that ahead of time. First impression was nice, clean, upscale and on the small side. Our table was across from the bar. Not too noisy. We were presented menus. The wine menu was extensive and there was a full bottle price, by the glass price, and a 3 ounce tasting price. Most bottles ranged from $25-35 and most glasses were from $7-12 and tastings averaged $4. I was surprised that there were very few wines from Napa and Somoma. However the selection included many worldwide wines with a few locals. My wife and I each had a glass of white and red. We didn't recognize the labels on any but all 4 wines were good! With the white wines we ordered the baked Brie in a pastry. It was awesome. We also ordered the Salmon flatbread and it was great too- my favorite dish. There were eight pieces. Larger portion than I expected. Later with our red wine we ordered the lamb chops which were awesome. There were three on the plate. We also ordered the beer sausage flatbread. Good but I thought would be better suited to go with a beer than with wine. Dessert we ordered the cheesecake. All jn all a great dinning experience. We left full and happy. The bill was about $90, not cheap but reasonable for what we ordered. Lastly, they have a wine shop too. On the extensive wine list that we ordered off of you can purchase any bottle to go at $9 off the listed price. It really made some of the $25 bottles a nice, convenient way to go home with an affordable bottle of wine that you just enjoyed a glass of at dinner. Well definitely be back with friends. read more

Simply the best. This is a treasure -- worth a detour as the Guide Michelin says. My wife is a French chef - and she believes the Vineyard is the real thing .. plus you can try wine and then buy a bottle. With over 70 wines to choose for a tasting -- you can't go wrong. Food is small size but appropriately priced and enough. read more

Fantastic. The service was friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. Food prepares to perfection. Veggies crisp and fresh, meat delicately prepared. Wine selection was unique and well curated. Atmosphere cozy with a wide array of options from the bar to sofas. Parking easy with spots throughout town. (Online menu did not match actual menu.) read more

Very small seating area so you might want to make reservations. The crab stuffed ravioli and mushroom Gruyere were our favorites!

What can I say about this place? It's fantastic. My husband and I went on a day date and came upon this jewel. Relaxing, low key and sophisticated... Love it! read more

What a fantastic addition to the already great restaurant offerings in Havre de Grace. The ambiance was perfect, the food was delicious and the wine was accessible and paired well with everything we had. The Vineyard adds class and an escape for the adult crowd looking for something different that your typical bar. read more

Have been here several times. Good service, wine and food. Lovely place. It is a small place so reservations are recommended.

Our first time here. We were pretty much the only people there at first, so we took full advantage of having the bartender to ourselves for answering our questions, etc. It was a Friday about 3:30 pm when we arrived, but it was filling up as we were leaving at about 6pm, and every single table was already marked reserved, as well as some spots at the bar. So make reservations for the weekend nights for sure. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very nice. Outdoor seating was closed, as it is December, so never got to see it. The lounge is nice with couches and coffee tables, where you can sit and have your meal there as well. But we like sitting at the bar. Service was very nice and seemed well trained and informative. They have wine tastings, and classes, but I think you must visit the website for more info. The hubby and I enjoyed the crab ravioli, Asian meatballs, Baked Brie, Olive Tapenad Flat bread, lemon coffee cake, and cheesecake. They were all good. Our bill was quite high, however, that's probably because we continued tasting the wines to figure out what we wanted. They have very reasonable priced (mostly) wines mixed in with the rest. We just wanted to try what we hadn't before. All in all a great experience and will go back for sure! The parking is on the street, and there are shops all around this establishment, for a wonderful day out experience. However the small town shops do close early, so an early day trip for shopping and visiting the Vineyard would be best. FYI: the dinner menu starts everyday at 3pm. They open at 11:30 am til 11pm. Bottom line, great place and we'll go back soon. read more

Great wine, and a good dining experience. I can't remember the last time I sat so long in one place without being completely bored. I'd definitely go back. read more

Splendid! Three eager diners, three interesting courses each, lots of sharing and everything was wonderful! We were all very pleased and recommend this bistro wholeheartedly. read more

My husband and I have been here four times now and each experience has been as special as the last. The restaurant is intimate and warm, the food is excellent, and the wine list extensive. Be sure to order the soup offered that day; whatever it is it will be so good. The service has been consistently attentive and friendly. This has become a place we will visit regularly. read more

Food was a great light lunch treat on our way to Rockville. Cheese plate and salad were divine and served with a smile by Brandy. Would definitely return! read more

Wine is good and food is OK, although mostly light fare, but my second trip there was utterly spoiled by the bizarre rude behavior of the owner. He refused to take back a 7 dollar glass of funny tasting chardonnay (the bill for dinner was 93 dollars) and lectured us in front of the whole dining room about how we were wrong and he was right. He even raised his voice, demanding I "listen for five minutes!" While this was going on, the other owner had the waiter slip me a ten dollar gift card, but I knew I couldn't do business there again. I returned the three bottles we had just purchased at the tasting and they had the nerve to ask for the gift card back! read more

Nice place with a great concept. A downtown tradition and a great place to enjoy with friends.

Amazing wine selection and incredibly knowledgeable staff. Not sure what to order? Ask and they are always willing to help. Definitely could improve on additional options for food as well as seating (or would have given 5 stars). Do not plan on eating dinner w/your wine...you will have to go elsewhere for that. Before/after dinner wine perfect at The Vineyard though. read more
