FOLLOWUP: Opening-night look inside Vine & Spoon

(WSB photos)

When we stopped by Vine & Spoon on Thursday to confirm the plan to open tonight, they were in last-minute prep mode and suggested we return for photos once they were open. So we did. Above, the wide view, a dining area with a garden vibe, including trees. That’s carried forward in some of the cocktails, including the “watering can” pitchers for the table to share, accompanied by flower-pot-style mugs:

Counting the bar – the only 21+ area in Vine & Spoon – and the “raw bar,” there’s room for about 112 people, we’re told by Matt Mead of F2T Hospitality, parent company for Vine & Spoon and nearby Alchemy (WSB sponsor).

But the two are offering completely different atmosphere and menus – as Mead puts it, while Alchemy is “dark and moody,” Vine & Spoon is “light and airy.” It’s open until 10 tonight at 4706 California SW [map] – and will be open only for dinner for a few weeks, then adding lunch and brunch.

    Wine & soup? Wine & pudding? Wine & gravy?Regardless, it’s a sad day when the ampersands of 2011 Portland migrate to West Seattle. Ampersands: the new mullet.

    Jim, that was evil – but funny.  Actually, the menu looks pretty good, even if it does use time-worn terms like “New American menu” & “market-to-table.” I look forward to trying this place, regardless of the amps. Just need to wait till I have a little more expendable $$$.

    So, that’s what is next to the SBUX.  I couldn’t see the sign from the street.

    Looks delicious! I’m into it.  Nothing wrong with ampersands or mullets.

Sorry, comment time is over.
