The bad stuff first: It took 45 minutes for us to be seated, and we were seated at the counter - spreading out our party of 4 and making conversation difficult. The whole meal was also pricey - most couples I know couldn't afford to do this on a regular basis. We certainly couldn't - but I'm glad we were able to go this time as a treat from my fiance's parents. And what a treat!
The tapas at Harvest Vine are *amazing*. Amazing enough that I still rate this place a 5, even for value. The flavors are superb, and I couldn't seem to eat slow enough to savor the taste long enough. The food is good enough to more than make up for the wait. The octupus was tender (!), the chirizo sausage was excellent, and the presentation of the food was beautiful.
Unless you order enough tapas and snack on the free (and wonderful!) bread they bring, you may find the food to be unfilling, due to the (intentionally) small servings. If you aren't familiar with tapas, they are small servings of a variety of foods, which you order several of for your meal. If you try this restaurant, expect more exotic food, and don't eat too fast. This is one meal you'll want to linger over.
