Velvet Vine Cafe

I really wanted to like this place it looked very cool online however my time there was not good. To start with the place has a musty damp smell to it, the smell was definitely not the smell of gourmet food or espresso. But the most painful part was how cold it was in there. We were there an hour and my toes were so cold I couldn't feel them, my nose was cold, my hands were cold and when are food came out it almost immediately became cold. I mentioned to the waitress how cold it was and really got no response except for oh you're cold? I ordered the mushroom flatbread, the dough was barely cooked, it was white and floury. There was a ton of cooked canned mushrooms, some oil and piled high with arugula. The martinis were OK. Because we were so cold we asked if they had any hot drinks

The drinks are phenomenal. Really thoughtful recipes. Fun and inventive. The sweet ones are sweet but not too sweet. Espresso martinis are fabulous. Food is wonderful. I love small plates because I can mix it up each time. Owners and staff are wonderful and take huge pride in their place. Really love this place.

Bittersweet experience, the place is gorgeous. We went there for brunch, food was good, but the service was horrendous, the girls were behind the counter with their noses stocked to the cellphones they couldn’t see or hear customers. They forgot to bring part of our order, took for ever to get their attention and by the time they complete it, we have just finished the first part. 5 stars to people in the kitchen, coffee needs improvement and service, training. The place has lots of potential as it is really beautiful.

Loved this place and will definitely be back. Atmosphere is amazing and service great. Was there for brunch and the portions were huge and delicious. My friend got an espresso martini but did not like it so much. It was served in a tumbler with a big ball of ice and tasted like straight vodka, no espresso. I got the prickly in pink. It was both delicious and gorgeous! Our server was so fun to talk to. Highly recommended.

Awesome atmosphere! Best espresso martini's around and had the best filet dinner for valentines day! Can't wait to get back!! Kudos to two hard working girls doing everything right!
