Reviews in Middlesbrough

Booked on line for a 3pm slot for Sunday lunch arrived to be greeted asking do I have a reservation I said yes to then be told your not on the list am I sure I’ve booked the right place! I told the lady I booked on the app and was told oh they shouldn’t let you do that when we are running out of food - let me check if there’s a table - while waiting was about to order a drink when she came back and told me there was only belly pork left ! It was not what I wanted so decided to quit while we were ahead and go elsewhere - DONT allow booking online if you cannot accommodate it

Best Sunday dinner in Middlesbrough!

Excellent food Excellent staff Excellent service!

The food here was amazing. The staff are so polite and friendly. Despite being ran off her feet she was very attentive and apologised for any delay. (I think this was due to staff not turning in). The atmosphere is lovely and perfect for a chilled evening. The Irish coffee was also to die for. Been a few times and it’s always a pleasure. Would highly recommend going here.

Food was above average but overall overpriced for the quality and quantity. Oysters were nice and Ribeye steaks were very good and although the lobster was nice, more theatre than anything. My partner was hungry despite starter, sharing board and sides and he ate again when we got home! The venue decor is stunning and a nice vibe/ambience but it was cold inside and freezing in the toilets! The table was sticky, menu was tattered, filthy and sticky.

Great new find, great ambience and good food and service,

Absolutely amazing food and service every visit! The sunday dinners are amazing and so is the fillet and lobster share board! Couldn’t pick between the sides so got them all and they were amazing !

Our go to place as we know we always get good quality food and great service

I don't go to Middlesbrough very often for entertainment, but this Friday I needed dinner before going to the theatre, and I needed it to be at least decent, not having 'dined out' for quite some time. What a find! I chose Vine online because it was a ten-minute walk from Middlesbrough Theatre. I couldn't have chosen better. The shabby-chic decor is my kind of thing - I'm shabby rather than chic. The menu is reassuringly limited, unlikely to be too much freezer and microwave intervention, I always think. I went down the fish route. Oysters, a quarter dozen - which means three, and I could have eaten twice as many; then scallops, really well cooked, seared but soft; then the curried Monkfish. This fish is such a strong flavoured one that it can take on the introduction of curry, and it's done with subtleness here. I really enjoyed each of these dishes. No pudding, I had a relaxing stroll to the theatre instead. Early-evening atmosphere was great, lots of families enjoying good food, but I had to leave before the live entertainment got underway. Pity. Really nice people served me some very good food. Thank you. Having been entertained as I was in Middlesbrough, finding a reason to revisit has become simpler: Vine.

Excellent service, lovely food. Cocktails are really good. Would highly recommend.

Perfect food. Really helpful and attentive staff.

Great service and meal, staff were very attentive as every meal we have had there. Always love going back and can't remember the amount of times my wife and i have been there either for lunch an evening meal or to celebrate something special.

We love this place, atmosphere is amazing. Love the style of the resturant and the food. The food was amazing last night, one of our favourite restaurants.

Food was amazing and so was the atmosphere, we have been coming here for a few years now and have always loved it here, however I do miss the saxophone player on a Saturday night. The cocktails are amazing also. The only problem was the staff, we had one girl who was serving us when we were asking her for drinks etc she was saying ‘2 minutes I just need to find out your table number and asked another waiteess Infront of us’ and ‘2 minutes I need to get someone else to write that down’ we also asked her for 2 pints of lager her response ‘what is it , 2 minutes I’ll just find out, I said it’s the lager that’s on draft it’s what we have been drinking all night, she said ‘2 minutes’ I just found the staff to be a little bit all over the plane and not professional. I work in a restaurant and would be more discrete about not knowing what I was doing if I was put in that situation. Other than that amazing night and would definitely return. Also the 10% service charge wasn’t mentioned to us , I would recommend telling people before they pay the bill so they have the choice to opt out

We had the 3 course for £20 it was very nice I had the garlic mushrooms then the king prawn linguine and the cheese board the food was delicious the cheeseboard could of been a bit better with fruit and more crackers and even butter. The atmosphere was great very cosy and warm the staff were exceptional we had a wonderful night.

It was a lovely experience dining in vine last night. The staff were lovely, very efficient and smiling. The food came out at a perfect pace. We dine for a 3 course deal. The food was delicious. I had the prawn chilli linguine and it was perfectly spiced with a good number of prawns cooked well. I loved my white chocolate dessert. And you can't deny the decor of this building inside is the best around.

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic service, good food. Spot on!

Cheerful and helpful staff, despite busy time. Tasty food - prawns beautifully cooked. Well priced wine list.
