Editorial Review for The Local Vine – by Anna Roth
In Short
The interior is oh-so-modern, from its blonde wood accents to its low slung couches and minimalist decorating scheme. The daytime crowd is made up of neighborhood residents taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi, but after work the vibe changes to accomodate happy hour revelers and girls night out groups. The well-curated wine list has enough on it to please experts but is designed for novices with categories like "engaging" reds (described as "racy, crisp, firm") and "succulent" whites ("slightly sweet, steely, honeyed").

I have been a regular customer since The Local Vine opened. I've always had a great experience with service - very friendly and very knowledgeable about wine. In fact, I've learned a lot since I started going there. The food is great - pairs great with wine. The wine selection is unbeatable in Seattle. They have hard to find wines here that are usually seen only in the most expensive restaurants. Very strong selection of local, NW wines. But also superb grouping of California and international wines. To top it off, customers can even drink these elite wines by the glass here - without even having to buy the whole bottle. I recommend this place wholeheartedly
Pros: Wine selection and very knowledgebale staff

I had previously posted this review as 1 star and titled "Good Food, Terrible Service and Unresponsive Management". Well the first two parts still hold true but the Unresponsive Management turns out to be entirely wrong. My original complaint to the management got held up in my e-mail server for six weeks. While I thought they were ignoring me, they were just unaware of our complaint. As soon as they did receive the complaint the owner was quick to respond with an apology, as well as the assurance that the service issue had been addressed. She also requested that we give them a second chance We are going to do just that. I'm hoping, that once we go back, I'll be able to post a completely positive review on this sight.
Pros: Food, location
Cons: Service, Management, Wine out of Stock
