The Vine

I think people need to temper their expectations with the fact you're in basically rural Oregon. This isn't a city, it's definitely a small town. I came here after finding it on the Find Me Gluten Free app. I came here because I have Celiac disease and read the owner of someone related to the owner is also a Celiac. Ambiance is definitely Italian restaurant in small town America. It's at the end of a strip mall near the Albertsons market. My menu was a printed paper that had gotten wet and then dried so the ink for the drink menu was smeared. Waitress was nice. She let me know that the fried foods and the desserts were gluten-free. I was disappointed to find out that making the food gluten-free is an undisclosed upcharge and that there wasn't any gluten-free bread. I got the appetizer of fried mushrooms for $15 which I felt was a bit much for button mushrooms rather than a fancier fungi. I had the $24 gluten-free chicken parmesan and while it was fine, I think I'd go with something else next time. My husband got the regular pasta and ordered the $23 carbonara, not even looking at his menu. That was a mistake because their carbonara is a mushroom cream dish and my husband hates mushrooms. "Carbonara" is a specific dish - cured pork, eggs, hard cheese and salt and pepper. Imagine ordering bolognese and it being full of mushrooms as the default. It's odd. My husband ordered wine and I got an Italian soda in guava flavor. Usually I'm sucking down 4-5 glasses of water but the water here was the local tap water which has a strong mineral taste. Overall, the meal was okay but I was a bit disappointed as a Celiac. Visited October 2024.

We moved here from Alaska a few years ago. I have celiac and there was very few places l could eat, some places had gluten free options but 9 times out of 10 I got polluted with gluten. We were so happy to find the Vine restaurant in Grants Pass of all places. We have been eating there for three years and have never been disappointed. I can have everything on the menu but one. Between my wife and I we have tried everything on the menu and and it was all amazing and there desserts are just as amazing. We are so thankful to have a safe place to eat out without getting sick from gluten. Wonderful restaurant and wonderful staff. My favorites are chicken parm and the steak dinner.

I had the pleasure of dining here for the first time tonight. The service was fantastic and the food was wonderful! I was offered gluten free bread and had the gluten free fish and chips. My husband had the dinner special, balsamic pork. We also had a citrus salad. Thank you Sue for being so friendly and attentive and compliments to the chef, Nico, for an absolutely beautiful dish! We will be visiting again!
