Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Edwardsville

Wandering Vine was a great experience. The food was perfectly prepared. The service outstanding. I do look forward to dining again in the near future. Today helped wrap up the Holiday in style. We are very blessed to have this 5 Star in our community. Merry Christmas to all.

We love this restaurant. First it is beautiful but not trendy. Second the execution of the food is superb. We love the fact you can find traditional menu items still (today was Steak Dianne) and even though steak is featured there is always a variety of seafood, duck and lamb. Service was excellent also. They use first rate ingredients and sauces and salad dressings are house made and exceptional.

Fantastic experience!! Due to a change of plans, we arrived about an hour early for our reservation on Christmas Eve and they were kind enough to accommodate us right away. I also want to mention that we originally booked a standard table but the high top was even better for the views and ambiance. We sat right in front of the most beautiful mahogany bar and got to watch the bartenders climb up and down the super high ladder. The food was all exceptional but the baked pimento cheese tray was to die for. The fresh baked sourdough bread was also phenomenal. We had mostly seafood and everything was delicious.

We had our family Christmas Eve dinner tonight and everything was fantastic! They followed up several times to confirm everything before we arrived. We had no wait time for our table and our server Emily was wonderful. She let us know the kitchen was running a little behind and asked if we wanted to get kids meals in right away to avoid a hangry meltdown. Food was paced very well and we never waited long for anything. Our experience was so good, this may be our new holiday tradition.

Excellent service, love the restaurant expansion. The menu is amazing, I have never had anything I didn’t like here. Our server was amazing!!!
