I love dining here because its never the same meal twice. They do a great job changing the menu up and I especially like how they serve unique, undiscovered wines with the meal. Highly recommend this hidden gem. More

Well, the place is a little crowded, a little loud, a little liberal on its seating policy, but holy cow can you get yourself a good ham and cheese omelette, double espresso shot and cool live music to boot on an easy Sunday morning. We never miss this place. More

Orange County isn't really a foodie paradise. There are very few non chain restaurant, so I was excited to go to this one. The food was amazing and service was great. More

The Old Vine Cafe is a small cafe located in the corner of the camp. Come early as the parking lot gets filled up quickly. The food is delicious. My favorite is the Green Chile Quiche and homemade Cinnamon Roll. AWESOME!! They do not serve Chai Lattes so I had a yummy Cappuccino instead. Because of the Cafe's location it... More
