   The arancini was yummy and my husband enjoyed the bolognese, but the Fettucine Frutti Di Mare I ordered was underwhelming. First, it came out room temperature at best. I asked the server if it was meant to not be hot, and he said no and quickly took the dish back into the kitchen. By the time it was brought back, my husband had finished his meal so he had to sit there and watch me eat which wasn't great for either of us. The pasta came back warmer, but the seafood was still room-temp, which was okay. The dish in general didn't have much flavor and could have used more seafood. The octopus on top was chewy and overcooked, but the scallops were cooked perfectly. We were there on a Saturday night, which started with music playing moderate/loud. The music was classical / fancy sounding and just not the right vibe for the space. Then a live band came on, which played better music, but was way too loud. We had to raise our voices to hear each other and you could tell other tables did as well since everything got louder at that point. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience, the food was just okay, and the vibe was all over the place. I wouldn't come back personally.

   We had a delicious dinner atThe Vine tonight. I had the lasagna which was unlike any lasagna I have ever had. It had more of a gravy rather than tomato sauce. It was delicious! My husband had the bolognese and he was very happy with it. We also had a pistachio flan for dessert. It was very good but we couldn’t taste any pistachio. Oh well it was nice and creamy.The service was good also. The decor is upscale. There is a separate lounge area with a nice bar.

   Food was amazing- homemade pasta and everything fresh. We enjoyed chatting with the owner and waiter. We will be back! Very friendly service.

   The Vine was a great new find in Falmouth. Five of us dined on a Saturday night. We had 2 apps and five different entrees. All were excellent! Homemade pastas were perfectly cooked. Seafood was great and lasagna was pronounced the best he’s ever had. Drink menu and wine list are very nice. Service was competent and friendly. We lucked out and a really great jazz trio was playing. All in all a great experience.

   Our experience was tainted by having to request clean wine glasses twice. The glasses had baked food on them. They had not been inspected before being brought out. The wine was good however when the glasses are dirty it takes away from the experience.

   The food was very good. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was casual. We tried the lasagne, the ravioli and the bolonese and all were very good. Would definitely eat here again when visiting Falmouth.

   Nice wine selection. Attentive service Chicken Parmesan was delicious as was the pork chop entree. No one in our party of 4 left hungry! A house made Ceasar salad dressing would have been an improvement!

   We may have caught them on a bad night. They were short staffed.

    Awful. Despite the restaurant being more than half empty, and plenty of staff working, we received the worst service. We sat at our table in the bar room at 7:20pm. No one approached us for 27 minutes, despite multiple staff walking around. We decided to order our meals with our drink order because we figured it would be another 30 min to place it. Once we ordered, it took another 25-30 minutes to get our drinks. At the same time our meals came out. Food was subpar, and we all ordered different meals. We asked for our check and left.
