Mary's Vine

I totally underestimated this hidden gem. I heard good things about this place but didn't get a chance to visit until now. I was blown away with the selection of wines and food. Our server, Eric was amazing! My friend and I were seated right in front of a fireplace. How fitting for a cold winter night. We ordered wine flight each and a cheese board to start. Minds were blown away by how well balanced the wine and cheese. Then, our mains were served. My friend went with the steak while I chose the chicken. This dish is so perfection! Chicken skin was crispy, while the beef were so tender. We also shared the layered chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I can't wait to come back and try their rotating menu.

I went to Mary's Vine for restaurant week after a recommendation from a friend. The whole experience was so unexpected, in a good way! The church is beautiful and really stood out on a snowy night. Note that the valet is complimentary - I didn't realize that and walked up the hill in the snow.I enjoyed the restaurant week menu including a sweet potato salad, romanesco veggies, and a pistachio cannoli (they had fancier names but I can't recall!). The staff was very friendly and the ambience of the former church was the best part- you can tell the owners took care to restore the beauty of the building instead of modernizing everything.I'm looking forward to visiting again in warmer weather to check it out the porch area!

Mary's Vine has become a favorite of mine. I've had the pleasure of visiting twice--once to celebrate my dad and another time on a date with my husband with live music.The wine flights are a highlight for me, especially the Rosé and Celebration flights. The charcuterie boards are a must-have to start.The atmosphere is stunning and calming, with the thoughtful renovations to the old church creating a unique and beautiful setting. The impeccable service ties everything together, ensuring every visit feels special.

I'll start by saying that I'm always a bit apprehensive when I visit an establishment that has no wait and few patrons on a Friday or Saturday evening, and that's exactly what we encountered at Mary's Vine, but my concerns were unfounded. The atmosphere, the service, the wine, and the meal were all fantastic!Let's start with the setting...it's an old church which has been converted to a restaurant. I'm a former Catholic schoolgirl so I felt right at home! It's a beautiful setting, and I'm a huge fan of dining with low tables that use lounge chairs so that's a major plus for me. It could stand to be a little darker, but with so much natural light from the church windows it's understandable.Lots of restaurants have great wine lists (and they certainly have that here), but they also have a great selection of wines by the glass which is a bonus when a couple (like us) can't agree on compatible appetizers or entrees.I started with the house-brined olives. Slightly tangy with a rosemary flavor, these were excellent and paired well with my Brewer Clifton Chardonnay. Our entrees were beautifully presented and delicious. The short rib ragu papardelle was made with lamb (and we love lamb), but the flavor is probably a bit bold for those not accustomed to lamb. We also had a pork entree which was not on the regular menu, and it was delicious.Dessert wasn't in the cards given that we indulged in appetizers; however, we made it a priority to check out the cigar bar/speakeasy. The building is a maze of cool spaces, but there wasn't a soul to be found outside of the restaurant which was disappointing since we wanted to share a cigar in the dimly lit study.Overall a fantastic experience - it's worth the little bit of an extra drive! We'll definitely be back.

I finally came to Mary's Vine and boy, it was a treat! Every single person was so friendly and warm. Our server was Eric. He was fantastic! We ordered the seasonal vegetable board, the short rib and the scallops with risotto. Every single thing was exquisitely prepared. After dinner, we went downstairs to see the cigar room, game room and new outdoor patio. The cigar bar is super cool and a great space. The game room is fantastic. Each section of the restaurant is run independently. The outdoor patio has a different menu than the restaurant. They have live music every Thursday night. Overall, it is a delightful place with wonderful food and service. I would highly recommend for a date night or special occasion or if you want to get together with friends and have drinks.

A beautiful gem of a restaurant that I am so happy to have experienced!Service: phenomenal. Alexis was so knowledgeable about the menu and wines, it blew me away. She was super personable yet very professional with her service . We had a blonde server take us down to the cigar room to check it out. I Unfortunetly can't recall her name but she was so helpful with showing us around and also knew so much about the liquors and history of the place ! I won't spoil the surprise but ask to go down to the cigar room, VERY interesting entrance and rooms! Food: out of this world ! We ordered the Taste of Italy board and the clams - both better than I could have imagined. We finished our meal with the strawberry shortcake that was marinated in grand maniere. Yes !Drinks: a long list of wines and a cocktails that seems to of been made with perfection. We started off with the expresso martini and even though the glass was very small, the martini itself was delicious. We also ordered the Long Way Around wine flight which lead us to ordering one of the wines off the flight options. It is now.. my favorite wine.Free valet with very professional valet workers. Makes you a little more comfortable about heading to the Rankin area. Menus were iPads which was such a great modern touch. They also had purell sanitizer on each iPad menu as well, it was my absolutely favorite touch!I am someone who really enjoys eating at new or different eateries. This is by far my favorite spot in Pittsburgh and I can't express enough how people need to try this out ! Please look ar my photos for reference :)

Such a delightful dining experience right here in Rankin, so very close to my home. The setting is in a renovated church, lovingly done and managed by the owners.The menu is ever changing and is presented to you on a tablet (electronic). How cool is that?They are known for their wine selections but the cocktails are pretty awesome too. Entrees and desserts are eye-catching. Our selections tonight were spot on. I opted for seared scallops with quinoa and veggies then a decadent drssert with chocolate ganache. My wine of choice was a Reisling.I was very happy with all my choices. Our server was knowledgeable, pleasant, and most helpful.And the ambience? It is amazing, swank, so very appealing. It would be a perfect venue for a classy date night.They also have outdoor dining availble and valet service, free but do tip them.Pricey? Yes but so worth every penny.

During restaurant week and to celebrate my boo's bday we decided to try Mary's Vine. Literally right across the river I had heard it was amazing but had to see it for myself. It didn't disappoint. Free valet, very welcoming staff - it was lovely. We were a little early for our reservation so we went down to the cigar room. You have to go through a cool picture/door that you have to tilt the cane and it opens. Very 007! The cigar room is awesome - smells rich and looks like a study - but behind the books are bottles of some of the finest alcohol. The mixologist there (not a bartender) made some of the most interesting cocktails. A little pricey but not something you'd do everyday. Received a text saying our table was ready. The seating area is gorgeous and again the staff is fabulous. We both did the specials for restaurant week but different dishes so we could try more. Highlights were the short rib - so tender; shrimp diablo - just enough spice; and the chocolate peanut butter pie - creamy and rich. It checked all the boxes for a perfect date night. Run, don't walk to try this place. Glad it's close - we'll be there again!!!!

An unexpected pleasure. Excellent food, well presented. A beautiful atmosphere, and professional knowledgeable service. This is my go to location for taking friends when they're visiting in the area. Recommended.

It really was a great experience dining at Mary's Vine.The food, staff, and atmoshere were wonderful, and we would highly recommend Mary's Vine.
