Out of yesterday's meatloaf? Eeew!
New neighborhood spot for us, my date and i were looking forward to checking it out (in spite of mixed reviews on Yelp). First, the name . . . Rock and Vine seems a little bit of a ripoff of the nearby restaurant Rhythm & Wine. Came in on a weeknight, with about 10 minutes left on happy hour. Decor was nice but bar stools were uncomfortable. Bartender said she only had enough happy hour red for one glass left. Strange--how about opening up another bottle for your customers so that both can both have red wine at the happy hour price? Didn't press the issue and went for the white. The happy hour menu overall was not very impressive, mostly fried food (usual at most happy hours), so we tried the regular menu. The Green Chile Meatloaf looked good, but when I went to order it, the bartender told me that they ran out of it . . yesterday. Eeew . . . Who wants to eat yesterday's meatloaf? And when was yesterday's meatloaf made--two days ago, three? Thought I'd be safe with the chicken sandwich. My date ordered the olive burger. Both were pretty good, so no complaints there. Good fries too. So, would I go back? Not sure. But I know I'll be heading back to Rhythm & Wine. Because they would have opened another bottle of red for us!
