We had a lovely evening at Five On Vine. Terrell M. was our server. He did an excellent job of explaining the menu, answering any questions, and making recommendations. We enjoyed our flavorful cocktails and the fried green tomatoes and OTR Wellington, ( pigs in blanket), as our apps. Everyone enjoyed their entrees: pork chop, lamb shank, Vodka rigatoni with Gracie’s meatballs and crab and shrimp scampi with a side of lobster mac n cheese. The clam chowder is prepared with fresh clams and very hearty. The accompanying focaccia bread was perfect for soaking up any sauces at the table. Everything was delicious and well prepared. Terrell did a great job of taking care of our table and making sure our needs were met. Great service, great food, and a great experience at Five on Vine.
