After vine expressions closed many of us have tried this place. I like new things and love different types of cuisine but this place doesn't hit the spot. It's nice to go somewhere and get a wine list by the glass where you can choose a wine you enjoy but of course you want to know the freakin vineyard. Not here. By the glass, the list just has varietals - shiraz, cab, etc. They change their list a lot but so do many places. The food - below average. Tried the stew that they said was great and famous. Bland. The sliders were like eating a salt lick, too salty. The servers are nice but they tend to ramble on and give you a 15 minute dissertation on the menu and why you shouldn't look at the last page because it's not available yet but they want you to know it's there. Finally, a few people mentioned the sucky chairs. Boy, they weren't kidding. They have many stools at tables with no back. Customers should be comfortable, this is not. The seats with backs have as much padding as a 2X4. Bottomline, uncomfortable.\n\nYou want better options, here you go. The living room in Chandler, my wine cellar in Ahwatukee, postino in Arcadia, 5th and wine in Old Towne, kazimierz in Old Towne, and terroir wine pub in N Scottsdale. Been to all of them and all significantly better. Tons more on Yelp.\n\nPostino is supposedly opening where grainbelt used to be across from Joe's BBQ in downtown Gilbert so when that's there a local joint should be available.
