Brisbane Times Score: 13/20 "Tucked away between cafes, shops and a corner store, you would be forgiven for walking straight past this cosy modern Italian restaurant"

Courier Mail Lizzie Loel, 06-5-2008 Score: Food: 14 Wine: 15 Service: 14 Ambience: 14 "VINE is a typical, family run Italian ristorante, the entrance and courtyard of which is sheltered by graceful old Moreton Bay figs. Tucked away at the river end of New Farm's Merthyr Rd, it serves breakfast on weekends and is the perfect spot for a shady brunch with the papers. Lunch is served al fresco - as well as inside - every day except Monday. As you enter, a large display cabinet and counter greets you and seating is on both sides - a smaller area to the left and a more cavernous dining room on the right"

Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 14.5/20 "From the road you could be mistaken for thinking Vine is just another New Farm cafe, but head inside past the bar and you will find a simple and attractive dining room and some seriously good Italian food"

Brisbane News Dining Out Guide 2007 "Since opening two years ago, Vine has gained a reputation for finesse"

Brisbane News Natascha Mirosch 31/8/05 "Both food and service come with a definite Italian brio at Vine, the latest New Farm eatery to open its doors. On the corner of Merthyr Road and Moray Street, Vine is modern and inviting, with chocolate leather banquettes and large, contemporary artworks adorning the walls. Vine operates as a cafe during the day while at night a menu of modern, Italian-inspired dishes are on offer with the occasional provincial special. .. food: 7 wine: 7 service: 8 ambience: 7"

Courier Mail Lizzie Loel 19/7/05 "Vine Caffe Restaurant and Bar opened at the intersection of Moray St and Merthyr Rd in New Farm about a month ago. The decor is distinctly Continental in appearance with dark wood tables and chairs complimenting the chocolate tones, off-white walls and dark upholstered banquettes. The score: Food: 14, Wine: 14, Service: 14, Ambience: 15"
