We love Vines. We've been going to Vines since it opened and really love the atmosphere, service, wine and food! We are always greeted at the door by a familiar face and at least 2 servers know what we like before we order! We are impressed by the selection of wines... best in this area for sure. We miss the live music though!

My wife and I have been going to vines for the last 2 years and have ALWAYS had a wonderful time there. They have one of the largest selections of wines of any of the wine bars and I think some of the reviewers are off base on their criticism of the food. The owners are both there often and very friendly. Definitely one of the best atmospheres in Parker and worth checking out.
Pros: Great Wine Selection, Good Food

I like the smaller sizes of entree's and it makes it fun to share and sample. I wish they changed up the menu a bit more, they have pretty much had the same dishes since they opened... but I still got a couple times a month...
Pros: Great Happy hour and location
Cons: it's a bit pricey

My sister and I went there just for some drinks and were very impressed. It was my birthday and they gave us a free dessert, which was absolutely delicious. The recommended great wines, and the artichoke dip was also great- actual artichokes, not like some places that you go where is is just pureed and you can tell it came from the freezer! The only drawback is the extremely loud bar across the street! Of course Vines is a little pricey, but that 's because it's a wine bar! If you want cheap, go to the bar across the street.
Pros: Great wine list, good food
Cons: Across from a very loud bar

After reading a few of the negative reviews, I was compelled to write a review. I have been going to Vines for a few years and it is a great place for a night out with girlfriends or a date! For those of us that enjoy wine and Tapas, this is the place to go! It is not expensive, I think it is fairly priced for the wine selection and great food. If you like Brie, their baked Brie is amazing!
Overall, this is a jewel in Parker!
Pros: Great wine and the best baked brie!!!

We went here in 2007, I had some zin and my hubby likes to drink different kinds a beers. he asked the male bartender what type of stuff was good. he suggested this English beer in a green bottle. he did state that it was "a lil bit more, only because it was a slightly bigger bottle", than you average draft beer. The guy told us all the other prices except this one. Didnt seem suspicious at the time, till we got the dreaded bill. THEY WERE 15 bucks a beer. !!! 15 bucks a beer is not 'slightly' more.
The owner offered to get us on the flip side, but we never went back to take them up on thier offer.'bring in this e-mail for drinks on us", It was just ridiculous what they pulled int he first place. We wont ever go back, we just sit outside on the park bench and listen to the music they play and laugh at the folks who are getting nickled and dimed in there. I hope they clean up their act.
Pros: Swanky look, good corner of the bar music.
Cons: EXPENSIVE- OVERPRICED!

I visited this restaurant for dinner on New Years Eve. The cost per person was $90.00. The limited menu gave you a choice of salmon, chicken, or filet mignon with wine and choice of soup or salad. I was with friends and got to sample all three dishes. The salmon was good but none were worth the money. The steak was not cooked to order and had gristle. The chicken was dry and bland. I am still kicking myself for wasting my money there when I could have gone to Morton?s for steak and lobster for the same price with a much better atmosphere and better service. I will never go to Vines again and will tell all my friends to avoid this place. $90.00 for a dry chicken dinner, or a steak with gristle? What a joke! Don?t waste your time or money here.
Pros: Good martinis
Cons: Over priced

I spent 2 years in Sonoma, CA before moving to Colorado and Vines was the taste of wine country I was missing so much. I love this place, always have. I have been there several times and the wine is always great and so it the food. The live music is awesome, just a fun place. Everything is a matter of opinion but if I go out with a girlfriend for a little food and wine I don't consider $30.00 for my evening too much. That is what you are getting is not something to eat and drink but an experience. In this day and age of fast food and so many restraunts lacking Vines is a breath of fresh air! I just wish downtown Parker would catch up already to Vines! Don't get me wrong, it is coming along finally.
Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing comes to mind.

The criticisms I've read are totally off-base!. I've been to several other wine bars/bistros throughout the state (Village Cork in Denver, Bistro Al Vino in Aurora, Samplings in Reisco, etc.) and Vines compares favorably to all of them. It is a beautiful place with terrific food and a wine list which is truly superb. Boring wine? Limited selection?? That is an absolute untruth! For instance, I was unable to get a Super Tuscan, Carmenere, or a dry Rose at any of the other places I've visited. I not only found them at Vines, but had a selection of excellent wines for each. I was also impressed with the wine flights offered
Additionally, to the contrary of some of the reviewers, the staff is extraordinarily knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. There are are at least 8 certified sommeliers on the wait staff. Customers who are uncertain of wines they would like to try are always offered a complimentary sample tasting of any of the hundred-plus wines they carry. And, the list is constantly being updated.
Further, the food in Vines is as good as it gets in Parker. Kaylee, the executive chef is nothng short of sensational. Try the Tomato Vodka soup, the Bruschetta, the PorkTenderloins or virtually anything on the menu. Keep in mind that the entire menu is in small plates (Tapas) so portion size isn't overwhelming.
All in all, you don't find a place like this very often. Lee and Sharu, the owners have done a terrific job! Give it a try & you'll be thrilled!

I actually really liked the look of the bar, so I was really sad when the food and wine didn't meet my expectations. I guess it was my fault for setting them so high. The food is not good and is really expensive for what you get. I understand the concept of "tapas" so I wasn't expecting huge portions, I guess I just expected them to taste better. The desserts looked like they were just shipped in frozen and thawed out. There is an OK wine selection, but they seem to me to be priced on the high side.
