A revisit after 22 years.
Wednesday evening, I was out and about with friends from out of town and wanted to show them a favorite old haunt with good food and drink without spending a fortune. The Vine is close to home, so we could take the Valley Metro City Limo and avoid any problem of driving after drinking. With $1 you call it on Wednesday, I figured 3 of us for drinks and dinner could be inexpensive.
The staff in the old days had standards of service. Those standards have apparently not been maintained by the current management. In the previous days (1989-1991), I could swear the service folks had timers set...they were so consistent in their visits. Now, unless you tip $5 on the initial visit, you are not going to see the staff at your table nearly as often.
The wings are still good...the drinks are decent...the service has gone from good to fair.
