Had dinner here once after evening mass at the church across. Ambience setting is of typical 90s' western restaurant, the chestnut-brown wood, the specific smell The Vines carries as soon as you step in, you know the similar smell to places like Jack's Place? With the dim lights.For its serving, the prices were worthy. I had a mix-grilled hot plate platter, consisting of grilled chicken and lamb chop, salmon, beef steak, one grilled prawn(yes one only), grilled vegetable and a large jacket pota
For its serving, the prices were worthy. I had a mix-grilled hot plate platter, consisting of grilled chicken and lamb chop, salmon, beef steak, one grilled prawn(yes one only), grilled vegetable and a large jacket potato with triple up heavy cream, bacon bits(not the light red ones out of a bottle but restaurant self-made) and extra chives. All these in one platter for approx 24$? Yes it was such a deal. We only managed to finish it with the help of my boyfriend. I suggest small eaters could really share one.
My boyfriend had the bbq pork ribs with a set meal(soup of the day, garlic bread and cake with coffee/tea) . The pork ribs was of decent amount. The ribs had its standard but I'd still call for average as I've tasted better ones. Came with side crinkle cut fries and coleslaw. I remember it was clam chowder for soup of the day and it was okay too, at least I could tell it didn't come out of a can. Dessert was a slice of cheesecake and a cup of hot tea to complement. Wanted to try the escargots for 8$ but by the time we considered, we were just too full to take another bite.
Service was polite and elaborate, they were also quick.
