The Gold Vine Bistro

Nice selection of local wines, had a Sangiovese Amador. Several appetizers to choose from, had the calamari. Lots of choices for dinner, had the Yuzo Salmon, delicious.

I have been wanting to come here after sampling their food at a tasting event at Polynesian Girl Winery next door.We were served and greeted warmly by Piper.I ordered the Codzilla. Others in the party ordered the Pizza sandwich, Turkey club, Build your own burger, Pastrami Ruben.It took a while for our food to come out, but all were very good. The servings were large.I'd definitely come back here again.

Group of 4 of us went for Sunday brunch. Seated by a warm fire we were promptly served by the lovely waitress Piper. Food was delicious and beautifully presented with very generous portions. We all agreed the food was incredible. Considering the sharp increase in product costs the meals were very reasonably priced. We love going there.

Piper is TOP NOTCH with her service!!! Incredible asset to this business. She gave me & my guests a great experience to our friend's birthday. The food was delicious & definitely a reason to come back. We are soooooo lucky to have Goldvine in our community!!!! Thanks you again for accommodating us!!!!! Xoxoxo

The food is outstanding and the ambiance is nice. Great service!Definitely recommended for the food!

Amazing again! Came back to try the prime rib dinner. Delicious. Cooked just right. Love the buttermilk biscuit and specialty butter. Baked potato with all the trimmings made to order and complemented the prime rib really nicely along with the au jus. Wait staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Sat on the bar side this time and it was very comfortable in the recently warmer weather. Highly recommended.

Lisa and Piper are the mom and daughter duo, and they made our night so special and fun. We can't wait to come back! Overall, it was reminiscent of hanging out at your best friend's house and having mom cook for everyone. But that mom is a classically trained chef who's traveled around the world.My partner and I walked in and grabbed a table by the window. Apparently we were on the family side, but on the right, there's another bar and more tables, and that's more of the romantic side. We like kids so we liked where we were at. We started with the complimentary bread and a honey pumpkin butter. There's a secret ingredient in it they wouldn't tell us. It was delicious and we continued to eat the butter after the bread was gone. For appetizer, we had the spicy tom Kai green lip mussels over rice in coconut milk. The mussels were tender and the lemongrass really came through in the coconut milk. We inhaled it. My partner got the New York strip. His was perfectly medium rare. The sauce was peppery and decadent. The asparagus was throughly cooked while still remaining crisp. I got the stuffed acorn squash. The maple syrup over the cranberries and quinoa, paired with the char of the acorn was comforting. The thyme really came through. It was cozy dish, appropriate for the winter season. We had every intention of just having two glasses of the Vino Noceto Sangiovese... but we drank an entire bottle. Obviously, we recommend that wine. We split the pumpkin cheesecake and that was divine. We also bought a box of turtles to go.We were the last customers, and we got the opportunity to hang out with Lisa and Piper and the crew. What an amazing team! So we learned the following:Everything served is locally sourced and basically farm to table. Everything is inspired after decades of Lisa's traveling. Though there is American fair of burgers and fish tacos, which is very common in the area, the menu changes seasonally. That said, there's always something new and interesting you can't find anywhere else. IMO, the menu is innovative and inspiring. The local farmers, winemakers, and other businesses are spotlighted throughout. Just ask Piper. She literally knows everything. Where this ingredient comes from. What this wine tastes like. Which beer would go well with what. She even shared with us about all the wine tasting in Shenandoah Valley, which we had no clue about.We left stuffed, happy we made new friends, and excited to explore all their recommendations. We already made plans to come back for brunch.With all that in mind, it was more than just a restaurant; it really is a beautiful beacon reflecting the family that is the local community.

Absolutely amazing lunch today! The golden beet salad with grilled peaches and burrata was amazing! The dressing was awesome, the produce was local. The shrimp I added to my salad was the juiciest and tastiest shrimp I have ever had and I have traveled all over trying seafood. Too die for! My husband had the Lisa Burger which is the biggest burger I've ever seen with pastrami and bacon on it. He ate the whole thing and loved every bite.The server is so sweet and helpful. I absolutely love her.I really like what they are doing here with locally sourced ingredients and a recycle program for leftover food to feed local animals instead of throwing it in the trash. We have watched them grow from the start and they have improved every time we have gone and are really making their mark in this community. We are going to be coming back often.

Piper was an awesome and knowledgeable server! All of her suggestions were perfect and the food was awesome. Nice wine selection and the desserts were yummy! Chef Lisa's entrees were well executed and fabulous! Stop, it will not disappoint.

Amazing food and ambience! Service is top notch as well! Two different "themed" dining rooms to choose from and a seasonal menu that doesn't disappoint. Their risottos are always cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Tough to narrow down their "best" dish because everything is excellent here. A few of my favorites, just to name a few; are their various seasonal salmon dishes, fish tacos, lion's main appetizer (when available), Guinness pot roast and their clam chowder and lobster bisque are also great! Various other soups to choose from and they are all great. (I think I have had them all) Portions are definitely generous, bread is always fresh, with usually one or two different infused butters to choose from.Above all, it's apparent that their dishes are made with the kindness, love and care they genuinely possess and share, which is made known the second you walk in the door. Desserts are always great as well, wine and beer list is awesome and I almost forgot to mention that their dishes are all topped with fresh, hydroponic herbs, along with a quick description of what they are and what to expect in terms of flavor. This place is such a hidden gem, located up in the El Dorado wine country just a few miles from Grizzly Flat, Happy Valley and Somerset/Fairplay. ~corner of E16 and Bucks Bar Rd. Perfect place to bring the family and cozy enough for couples, too. Highly recommend giving them a try! If you don't love your first experience (which I'm confident you will), then I suggest giving them another try. Family owned and operated by genuine, caring folks that truly want you to enjoy your experience and leave satisfied, hopefully to return!
