I love it when I can share a new place with friends. Especially one that is off the beaten path, is a good value and has wonderful food like the Old Vide Cafe. On my first visit I went with my accountant and split the Porchini Mushroom Mac and Cheese, a Prime Rib and White Truffle Cheese panini and the Caprese of Mozarella Buratta. The later fast becoming one of my favorite dishes on the menu – I can taste the flash fried arugula as I write this.
For dinner, the menu features three seasonal choices of pre-fix wine dinners. The wine dinners range from $ 45 (without wine) to $65 with wine pairings. Also available are al la carte menu items including the Caprese salad (see above). Wine selection is well thought out and at fair prices.
One weekends they have two seating – one at 6:00 and another at 8:30. Service is friendly and professional. Patio dining is available but MOA (mit out alcohol). Old Vine is located in “The Camp”, directly across from the “Anti Mall” (yes, both actual names) on Bristol Street, just south of the 405 Freeway.
