The Vine Fine Dining - Touchet (WA)

5 /5 Ted DeRuyter: A must try dinner experience! Go for their 7 course wine pairing menu. You will not regret it. The chef does an incredible job. Every item on the menu is well thought out. The entrees look and taste amazing. A lot of surprises and unique dishes. Highly recommend staying at Cameo Heights Mansion is you can. One of the best bed and breakfast places in the Northwest. If you you are staying in Walla Walla, reserve the limousine pi kup service. Will worth it. Not too much more than an Uber and such a better experience than worrying about drinking and then driving back.

5 /5 James Wald: Weve dined here 3-4 times, while staying in a room at Cameo or just driving in for dinner. Ive seen the restaurant go though several chefs during that time, and the B&B change ownership. My recent experience was likely influenced by the holiday, as this is second year in a row Ive chosen the Vine as our destination for Valentines Day. There is nothing comparable in the Tri-Cities area, both lodging and dining, and its still a multiple course meal with a few different selections for main courses. The menu changes frequently and sometimes you can get a preview online, but be prepared to discover new items when you are seated. The combination of ingredients in the dishes this time was creative but not weird, and the portion sizes were just right (with the exception of my tomahawk steak which was enormous!) Over the years it has changed from an evening where the chef would personally deliver dishes to the table and explain the ingredients, to a packed house on a very busy holiday. Overall, the food is still 5 star quality, although there were some service issues arising from a young staff. The owner was very present throughout the evening, and vigilantly focused on fixing the issue with our meal. Its a good sign they are so busy and focused on long term satisfaction. I will definitely return as its a slightly new experience every time and the property is beautiful.

3 /5 Peter Hutton: The night started out great with the exception that there wasnt any signage indicating The Vine restaurant on the entrance. We were seated quickly and had a great view of the hillside. When asked about drinks, we were told that the drink menu was sizable and really werent allowed to look at it. The wait staff recommend some ciders since my wife doesnt really like wine, which worked out, but they never really came back to me to ask, so I had cider too. I asked about wine pairing for the dinner, and the response I got was that they hadnt had that in years, and it felt like I should have known all along. We got the first course, which was a melon dish with balsamic vinegar reduction and goat cheese. It was delicious and unexpected. This was the only course that the item was explained, like most tastings. The next course was a delicious soup that made you wanting more, and we hated the plating because it had ridges that made it hard to get every ounce of the soup. The third course was a choice, which I picked the tuna and my wife had the prosciutto wrapped beans. Both were tasty. The palet cleansing was refreshing. The main course was good fit the most part, but I feel my tenderloin was cooked past medium rare and the vegetables were missing salt. My wife had the halibut pasta, which she liked. This is where it fell apart for me. After an ok main dish, we waited 15-20 minutes before my cheese and fruit plate, and my wife dessert came out. The entire time, the other wait staff were chatting with their table, and we were practically left alone most of dinner. The dessert was good, but the cheese plate had only 1 type of cheese(unknown type as it was never communicated to us). Two cheap crackers and trail mix you can find at safeway. No fresh fruit, no variations of cheese and no presentation. Looked like it was all just thrown on the plate. It was so disappointing. We felt shooed away at the end. For the money, it was not worth the trip for us.

5 /5 Tyler Christian: We have been multiple times. Very delicious food prepared by great chefs. Service is great and kind. Very nice intimate atmosphere.

5 /5 Kali Smith: This was our first time doing a tasting menu. I thought it might feel a little stuffy, but our waitress was fun and welcoming. All of the food was stunning and delicious. We had a great time and plan to return!
