Our experience at Stone & Vine can be summed up in one word: meh.
We arrived shortly before 6 p.m. and were promptly seated on the patio. The inside dining area was already pretty busy with happy hour. Our server was polite and was more than happy to explain what was on the happy hour menu.
We ordered two pints and the sausage and peppers to start. Unfortunately, those were the only real highlights of the meal. The flavors of the sausage and peppers were great. It had some heat without being overwhelming. I did feel the dish was a little small for the $10 non-happy hour price point.
Next was our salads - the mista. We ordered a large to split and the kitchen was kind enough to split in onto two separate plates without us asking. The salad was just waaaaay too over-dressed. The dressing was tossed on and the whole thing was just drenched. I know some people like this, but it just wasn't for me.
We also split the brussel sprouts pizza. From the menu description, I imagined the brussel sprouts would have been sliced and then oven roasted. They were actually just a handful of leaves that had been lightly steamed before being placed on top of the pizza. They added zero taste and wouldn't even stay on the pizza. The cheese, pancetta and caramelized onion were good, but the brussel sprouts just seemed out of place in comparison. The pizza crust was the biggest disappointment of all. It was completely bland. No seasoning, no taste, no anything. It honestly reminded me of a pretzel without the salt.
Ultimately, there's nothing wrong with this place. The outside seating is nice and they have a good happy hour. The food just wasn't compelling enough to make me want come back in the future.
