Editorial Review for Vineyard Cafe – by Juliana Vice
The Scene
One of the loveliest--and liveliest--corners in Hyde Park is graced by Vineyard Cafe, a classy joint with cozy tables, good service and great food. The lovely courtyard is in semi-retirement during winter, but those tables fill up at the first sign of spring.
The Food
The menu here is eclectic, but there are some standouts, such as light and flavorful crab cakes, the portobello-brie wrap, tuna Nicoise, and the knockout roasted pork loin with tasso bread pudding and Creole mustard sauce. Portions are not huge, but everything is prepared to near-perfection. And, as the name implies, Vineyard Cafe has an extensive wine list and servers ready with recommendations.

We were disappointed with this restaurant after having high expectations from reading reviews online. The food was good, but not great. My husband got the salmon and I got the crab cakes. We found both dishes to be bland with very mild flavors which we found boring. My husbands "seasonal salad" was also very bland. The presentation of the salad was poor with very little color and the dressing had very little flavor. The service was good and the waitress helped us both choose a great wine. We ate outside which was great and very relaxing. We spent over a hundred dollars for our meal: two glasses or wine, two salads, and two entrees. For the price the food was just not good enough.
Pros: wine, outdoor dining
Cons: expensive, bland food

Awesome menu, constantly changing so you are always pleasantly surprised. The seared scallops are wonderful, as the tomato florentine. The bread and olive tapenade served when you arrive is absolutely delicious. The service is also immaculate, the waiter was very pleasant and very eager to cater to my very particular desires! The ambiance is reminiscent of cafes in paris in which you can watch people go by with their dogs or just jogging around the area.
Pros: Delicious menu, friendly and efficient waiters
Cons: Short menu, although it is constantly changing, so it makes up for the few quantity of items
