Great service with food that is a little less than great. We started with calamari which was light and flavorful. Too few calamari in the dish. Next we had the grouper. It was served in a sweet cream sauce that over powered the perfectly cooked fish. The almonds seemed out of place in this dish. Really would have loved more spinach on the plate. We finished with the chocolate cake in a caramel sauce that was outstanding along with an order of the delicious pistachio gelato. The service was top notch. I waited was knowledgeable and attentive. Everyone was wonderful!

I have been wanting to try this place out for a while. I follow them on social and they seem to have a good happy hour and have heard from friends that it's a nice atmosphere. The bar and general dining space is beautiful, very relaxed with the perfect amount of that fine-dinning-finish. The bartender was fine, she was pleasant but served my friend the wrong beer once (not a big deal!). The wine list was limited but she suggested a nice Pinot noir. The burrata was amazing, because nothing could be wrong with burrata. I'll be back, although nothing really left me wanting more.

And now they serve BRUNCH!
Brunch brunch brunch brunch! Everybody brunch! 🍳 🍹I was soo excited to try the newest offering from my favorite place on the Main Line, and it did not disappoint. $5 bloodies and mimosas to start, and a full buffet with a sweet ending! Nom nom nom! I tried a little bit of everything, and highlights definitely included:
*Made to order omelette (I got the local mushroom, spinach, and cheese, and it was bangin!)
*shrimp cocktail (so fresh!)
*prime rib (perfectly done)
*sliders (I loved the roast beef)
*breakfast pastries and cannoli (made in house!)
*fresh fruit (try the pineapple)
And lots more ...
Will be back again soon. And did I mention the live music? An awesome start to Sunday Funday!

I have eaten at main and vine twice now. Once was for happy hour drinks and dinner and after that we had to go back for brunch. Everything was sooo good. The brunch buffet was amazing! There was so much food and the mimosas were only $5 and were delicious of course. The owner jay took the time to come over to our table and make sure everything was okay and that we were enjoying the buffet, you can tell how serious he is about his restaurant and truly wants everyone to have a great time. Already trying to plan another visit with some friends!

My husband, pup, and I had the pleasure of dining alfresco for lunch at Main and Vine Bistro. It was a wonderful experience; from the friendly, attentive, and personable staff, to the delicious food. We enjoyed the melon capris Salad which was a nice light dish on a hot day, and also cleaned our plate with the chicken salad sandwich that was accompanied with homemade potato chips. The meal was absolutely mouthwatering good, and we can not wait to come back again in the future. Highly recommend you enjoy this gem of a restaurant in Villanova.

The best damn wine float cocktail I've had in my life. The burger was fantastic and the hummus appetizer was amazing. Our server was knowledgeable and offered great suggestions. My only complaint is the lack of attentiveness at the bar- I had to wait too long to receive my old fashioned, and watched the bartender gather glasses and generally clean the bar while I waited.
But our server when seated was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.

I just finished a terrific dinner at this restaurant. From the moment our party of four entered to our departure, the staff was warm and friendly. The atmosphere is great. It is modern, comfortable and stylishly decorated. Our server, Phil, was very informative, attentive and accommodating. I use my water glass as a gage when measuring the quality of service. My water was never empty. Phil and the rest of the staff were on it, making sure we were taken care of. Our meals were terrific. The offerings are unique and prepared with locally grown produce. The chef was very willing to make adjustments to prepare our food the way we wanted it. Drinks are high quality and served exactly the way they should be. Management stopped by to ensure we were pleased. I look forward to returning for another excellent meal!

Came here for a business lunch last week. It wasn't busy so we had no trouble getting a table.
This space was formerly occupied by a different restaurant (Avenue Kitchen). It felt very familiar. It's quite nice inside -- high ceiling, classy but not pretentious. Wide open main dining area with some spots tucked away, and two bars.
The menu is not huge but offers a diverse variety of flavors and dishes. I had a tough time deciding...
Our table shared a bottle of Petit Sirah, which was smooth and not too dry. I'm not much of a red wine drinker but I actually enjoyed my glass! We also shared the Ahi Tuna Tataki (2 orders for 4 people), which was light and fresh.
I don't often crave burgers but the M&V Bistro Burger sounded too good to pass up, and I definitely made the right choice. I got mine medium with a side of jalapeños. Oh. My. Gosh. I would rank that burger in my top five. SO juicy and yummy -- 10/10! Messy...but totally worth it. It was accompanied by their shoestring Garlic Parmesan Fries, which were bursting with flavor. I left full and very happy.
Everything was so delicious. We received excellent service from start to finish. Zero complaints from our whole table, and we were satisfied overall.
Hope they stick around a while so I can go back!

Main and Vine was the perfect venue to celebrate my husband’s retirement. Our table for eight was nestled in a quiet back corner. I ordered starters and wines in advance, so that we could focus on our guests as they arrived. Everything was delivered,as requested,and it was allsuperb. I especially enjoyed the beet hummus. Our server,Emily was on point and very hospitable.Since we are vinophiles, the wine selection suited us perfectly. Cioppino is one of my husband’s favorites. Main and Vine’s version did not disappoint. We were able to book this reservation with only a few days notice and the place seemed incredibly quiet for a Friday evening. We were glad for that! But apparently the word has not gotten out yet about this fabulous new restaurant on the Main Line.

A wonderful place for a cozy and fun dinner. The vibe was both upscale, yet had the March Madness games playing, which was fantastic. The food itself was phenomenal but what I really gotta speak about is the sourdough and cheeseplate options. Everything on there just complemented the other so perfectly, along with the ricotta given with the sourdough, I really wish we had taken a loaf home! It definitely would not have been as good though since this bread was fresh.

Main and Vine was delicious. We had a great time and the food was really good. I love the menu options. The one problem I had is that throughout the night I felt very rushed. We were enjoying our appetizers and before we were even finished, the waitress was trying to clear our plates and bring us our entrees. I understand trying to get us our meals, but it truly bothers me when waiters and waitresses don't ask a patron if they are finished with a plate before taking it (and I was actively eating from a plate as she was trying to take it, and of course I said something). But it happened a couple times, which was really bothersome. The food, however, was very delicious. And the decor was nice. Overall, we had a relatively great experience and do recommend Main & Vine. We will definitely be back!

So refreshing to have a city quality restaurant in the suburbs! We have dined here several times and each time the food and service are perfect, in addition to the beautiful ambiance. Some of our favorites are the Artisanal Meat board, Ricotta cavatelli, the flatbreads and the flat iron steak. The creativity and imagination of the dishes are amazing. The bread, pizza dough and desserts are all house made and fabulous. We also enjoy happy hour at the bar with bartender, Sean who makes awesome cocktails and has wonderful food suggestions. Can't wait till our next trip back!

Yet again, Yelp made me look good. Was having dinner with a friend and we were in this area. It's conveniently located off of the Blue Route. When you enter the shopping center, it's the back row of shops, on the left. Not easy to find, but I found it worth it. It's a nice space, though the music volume being turned down a notch or 2 would help conversation. I started with a cocktail, their take on a Manhattan. It was good, but $14...however, I had the kind of day at work that required a cocktail and price could be no option. I started with a delicious cauliflower soup. My friend enjoyed her french onion soup, though the generous cheese required some wrangling to get through. I had the special- whole, fried branzino served with the accompaniments to make fish tacos. I could have eaten the cilantro sauce with a spoon. Also came with a generous amount of tortillas and avocado. My dining partner went with the pear salad and seemed to like it. Despite being really full, I couldn't resist the churros (since Sazon was out of them last time I was there, I needed my fix). They didn't disappoint. I think I'll take the hubby here- lots on the menu I think he'd enjoy.

Went to this fantastic restaurant on Sunday with my wife and two daughters. We were dropping One off at Villanova and decided to give it a shot. It is real nice inside. The host and server were great. The food was fantastic. The Sunday gravy was incredible and a huge portion. The Bucatini with fresh clams was amazing. The vegetarian Lasagna was great and last but not least, the Salmon was great. It was a great dinning experience and will be back soon. It is not cheap, but worth every penny.

There's something I can't stand about The Main Line, it's uptight, pretentious, too many big lips and bigger wallets with crappy attitudes. With that being said, we have been here a few times and absolutely love it! We always sit at the bar (great people watching) so I can't review the table service but the bar is a great time. The bar is huge, the chairs are so comfortable, the bartenders are knowledgeable and know how to engage without being annoying...did I mention people watching? The space is gorgeous, wide open, spread out, nice lighting, music is never too loud or too soft. The last time we were there we went on a Wednesday and the place was busy considering it's only the second week in January and everyone is dieting or not drinking because, you know, New Years resolutions and all. We started with the Seasonal Fashioned & The Clarksburg Sour. Both delicious. We also ordered the arugula and pear salad, the artichokes (a staple), and the baked onion soup. All SOOOOO YUMMY! Our entrees were the lake trout and the pork Milanese. The trout was good but the pork Milanese absolutely KILLED IT! Other favorites on their menu from past visits are any of the flatbreads but the spicy Salumi is my favorite. The kale salad, the baked Camembert, bucatini and clams, the steak frites (omg the truffle fries are to die for)!! Honestly, I love 95% of this menu, the chef is super talented and knows how to put out a healthy menu with it still having plenty of flavor. Will definitely be coming back, totally worth the $50 uber ride...because the wine is also to die for and we drink lots of that! :)

We went to Main and Vine on Saturday night, on the early side. The dining room is beautiful. I personally would prefer not to have such big screen TVs at the bar because I could see them from our table but it's a personal preference. The food was excellent. We had the artichokes as a starter, and scallops and short ribs for entrees and churros for dessert. Everything was so good (churros especially). The service was attentive but when asked what his favorite things on the menu are he just recited the entire menu. As the evening went on the noise level rose significantly so if you prefer a quiet meal go early. I will definitely go back. It wasn't inexpensive, but provided good value.

Friendly staff and great service, along with interesting food. I didn't even know this place existed, until someone told me about it. I drive by here twice a day during the week, but Main and Vine is hidden at the back of the shopping center. I walked in, not knowing if I had a reservation or not, but was seated at a great table with a lot of natural light. Our server, Nikki? (SP), was fantastic throughout the entire meal. She offered great suggestions and even helped with dessert. I don't want to get her in trouble here, but she didn't seem overly excited for what I chose as a dessert. We called her out on that and I asked if I should have gotten the first thing I wanted, Churros, and she said it would compliment the other dessert better since we were getting two. We trusted her and everything worked out perfectly. We started our meal with the baked camembert in a box, with this delicious black pepper walnut honey. Also some black mission fig toast. We're such fig fans and this toast was perfection. Figs, blue cheese, prosciutto. We both had crab rolls, which had great flavor on a New England style homemade bun. I mentioned it wasn't what I was expecting, but was 100% what I was hoping for. I just didn't think it would look exactly like I envisioned it. A lobster roll, with just crab on it... I'd like to come back and wouldn't mind meeting people here during the workday, since it's right by 476. A lot easier to get in and out than forcing people to meet me in Bryn Mawr, then driving to Wayne or something for a good meal.

Last night my wife and I had dinner at Main and Vine on opening night and could not have been more impressed. The restaurant has been completely retrofitted and looks absolutely stunning. The decor and ambiance are perfect for the menu and area (Villanova). The first area you walk into is the bar, which is massive, and wraps around in a way that makes the entire restaurant visible. The set-up is perfect for people watching. Mixed in with the bar area is a "lounge" area that has bistro styled tables that can accommodate several people at each table. The lounge is separate from another dining area that is set up for large parties or private events (I was told that the room could be completely closed off from the rest of the restaurant for an added level of privacy. The third seating area is a pizza bar that allows guests another seating option that offers front-row views of chefs making hand tossed Napa style sourdough flatbread pizzas. The pizza bar also has table seating for those wishing to sit in a more traditional dining room setting. The result of the restaurant layout is a chic looking space with plenty of amazing sightlines and views.
As for the food, it was outstanding. We started dinner with two cocktails, the KiKi Collins and a Strawberry Bourbon Old Fashioned. Both drinks were delicious and went very well with our appetizers, the sourdough kale and artichoke pizza and the pork belly. The pizza was delicious and had a nice touch of heat from the chilis and just the right amount of charred crust. The pork belly was exceptional and one of the best I have had anywhere, it melts in your mouth. We followed up our appetizers with the Salmon and Trout entrees. The salmon was cooked perfectly; the skin on the salmon was perfectly crisp and had just the right amount of seasoning. The trout was also delicious. The fish was succulent and cooked to perfection. I paired my dinner with mashed potatoes with king crab. The side was not necessary but was very tasty. The portions sizes were as expected for a restaurant of this caliber and quality but proved to be more than enough. And although we did not order a meal from the vine (a salad on their menu), we heard the table next to us rave about them. We finished our meal with the lemon cake and pannacotta. The lemon cake with meringue tasted like a hybrid of a lemon tart and lemon meringue pie--it was outstanding. The pannacotta was also delicious. I preferred the lemon cake, but both were excellent choices that I would definitely recommend.
In conclusion, I think that Main and Vine have all the ingredients needed to be a local favorite. I wish the new owners the best of luck and success!

nown for its ingredient-forward organic dishes and a philosophy that puts fresh food first, the new lunch menu includes a variety of choices that touch on French, Italian, Asian and American influences. All of which are indicative of Northern California. It's a quick and satisfying menu that will accommodate everyone’s tastes and time.

First time in and it won't be my last. Amazing vibe, beautifully decorated and the food was outstanding. There is nothing like it in the area. It reminds me of being back in wine country. Don't miss the sourdough pizza, artichokes and salad options. All of the dishes have special details that surprise and delight. The wine selection is superb with a great price point.

Hands down my most favorite restaurant!!! Been there about 5 times and every time I order a new item off the menu, that becomes my favorite. From the chic atmosphere to the beautifully prepared drinks and the friendly and knowledgeable staff, this is the must go to restaurant on the main line.

So refreshing to have a city quality restaurant in the suburbs! We have dined here several times and each time the food and service are perfect, in addition to the beautiful ambiance. Some of our favorites are the Artisanal Meat board, Ricotta cavatelli, the flatbreads and the flat iron steak. The creativity and imagination of the dishes are amazing. The bread, pizza dough and desserts are all house made and fabulous. We also enjoy happy hour at the bar with bartender, Sean who makes awesome cocktails and has wonderful food suggestions. Can't wait till our next trip back!

We enjoyed another wonderful meal at Main and Vine. The decor is contemporary and very tasteful
The servers are excellent! Joseph and Christian are particularly helpful and efficient.
Jay, the personable owner, is constantly mingling with the guests, and he takes a hands on approach. He is a true wealth of knowledge about cooking, especially Norther California cuisine and enjoys discussing the specifics. Take the opportunity to chat with him.
The food is fabulous! We particularly love Tuesday ( fried chicken night) although many other options are available and are more in keeping with healthier dining. The fried chicken is brine soaked, with a buttermilk flavor and a perfectly crispy coating, it’s served with a very flavorful potato purée and a side salad with blue cheese.
There is also a vibrant bar with a Happy Hour and great flatbreads.
Enjoy!!!!

This place was beautifully transformed into a clean and refreshing establishment. Everybody says hi to you including Ray (GM) and Jay. One of their chefs, Gabe, brought us some complimentary pork belly with sour cherries. It was charred to perfection, not even fair. It was so good we did not even have time to snap a picture before finishing the portion. They just opened and we will definitely be back. Service was outstanding too.
If you go definitely get the pizza and chicken fried oysters. Their pizza is a crisp sourdough that is thin without crumbling.

Our group of 5 decided to try Main & Vine for dinner Wednesday night. There's a parking lot so that wasn't a problem. We were surprised by how busy it was on a Wednesday night. The atmosphere is great and very open. It was a little loud which made conversation louder than normal. Our server Christian was very friendly and helpful. He explained the menu and gave us his recommendations. For instance, he recommended the jersey corn soup over the French onion. Three of us had it and agreed it was delicious. We also had the beet salad, the peach and prosciutto salad, tuna from the raw bar, trout, and the supper special short ribs. We had the fresh hot sourdough bread which I could've eaten forever. It was hot, crusty and delicious served with whipped ricotta. We all cleaned our plates. Sadly no room for dessert this time. The menu had many options I'd like to try so I can definitely see us returning. The bar area looked nice for drinks, too, with some comfortable chairs grouped together.

In the heart of the stuffy, pretentious Main Line, where wealth is inherited, passed on via nasty divorce, or obtained through SEC unsanctioned insider trading, up pops a beautiful, fresh, new eatery that is pleasing to ALL of the senses and takes you away from the snobby environment which surrounds. Walking in the door the bar magnetically attracted us. What a gorgeous open space inside of the inviting front entrance. When it was time for dinner we were escorted by a hostess who was warm, friendly, but still professional in all aspects. Our table had enough room for my long legs and for the four of us to move around and get around when needed. The space was very well allotted for an enjoyable experience. The sound level was perfect for conversation, the service was impeccable (with a minor exception which happened at both the appetizer and dinner delivery -- a couple plates delivered without the others which caused an awkward wait time until all of us had our food in front of us) and next thing up was the food. To start we got the Hearth Baked Sourdough with a really smooth ricotta, olive oil and olives on the side. One might think $6 for bread is a waste, oh my this was soooooo worth it, it was fabulous. 5 stars Appetizers that I had and/or tasted: --roasted artichokes, good but not enough aioli nor salsa to assist the nice pile of these roasted gems...4 stars --black mission fig toast, excellent, one of the best dishes of the evening...5 stars Entrees that I had and/or tasted: --oven roasted organic chicken, a bit dry but flavorful...4 stars --adobo rubbed flatiron, this wasn't my order but I finished the plate of another, flatiron steaks are usually tougher than tender and this was no exception, the fried sides too rich...3 stars ---the pork milanese was fantastic, my horny sexy blonde escort for the evening ordered this, I tasted a few bites and it was pounded to a perfect tenderness, not a heavy dish at all and just generally the best choice of the table...5 stars all the way. This is a great "go to" alternative to the aged White Dog up the road and as a good bar scene alternative to the Paramour.

Two visits in one week and I cannot wait to go back and share with friends!! The service is 5 star, PLUS! We ordered many appetizers and they split them up so each part of the table could try. (forward thinking!) The wine was yummy � and the cocktails looked delicious as well. Each meal was better than the next. The food is fresh and unique without being too different. The Monday Cippono is next on my list to try �. I truly can’t wait to return!! Thanks for a fun experience.

Our great night here stayed off with one of the friendliest, most helpful waitresses I've ever had. The Achiote Chicken Tostadas and the cheese plate were my personal favorites, but I also really enjoyed my steak. I would certainly recommend this place. Great food and great service.

Exited 476 to avoid the traffic between us and our hotel, and Yelp helped us find this great new place. We're visiting from Sonoma Co. CA and found all the familiar names on the beer and wine lists fun. The interior is spacious, and sophisticated. All that was fine, but the food is what this post is about. We shared three items: 1) Bibb lettuce Wedge salad, 2) Sourdough bread with olives, olive oil, and whipped ricotta 3) Chicken fried oysters All were delicious, and enough for the two of us for dinner. The fig infused bourbon cocktail helped make it all work too.

Dined here shortly after they opened for a very quick date with my husband. Food was terrific and service was exceptional. The brick oven pizza that we ordered to bring home was pretty charred on the bottom. Loved that they opened a fresh full sized bottle of prosecco for me instead of giving me some cheap individual serving size bottle like other restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Nice atmosphere. friendly staff, and reasonably priced wine- sign me up! We had a great meal at main and vine last Friday night. We started with a carafe of red wine which was good for house wine. As apps we ordered the melted cheese in a box (I forget exactly what it's called) as recommended by our waitress. OMG. This was fantastic. Served with perfectly grilled bread and walnut jam. Wow. Will definitely get it again. We also had the chicken fried oysters a which were okay, but one dimensional. As entrees, my boyfriend had the trout which he said was fantastic. I went with the spaghetti with clams. This dish had the potential to be great, but was saturated in lemon juice it was plain sour. I still ate it since I love lemon but it was so overpowering it made me not like the dish. I gave this feedback to the manager right away as I assume it was an oversight. Overall, this is a nice date night spot and I hope to return soon.

My first yelp review has to be special, so I am reviewing my favorite restaurant on the Main Line. Every time we are in town visiting the main line, we make a point to dine at Main & Vine. Although it is a fairly new restaurant, it has quickly become a local favorite for us, having everything we look for in a restaurant. First of all, free and abundant parking is key, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The ambience is stellar, service is always on pointe, but the real reason we keep coming back is the food!!!! Soooo good! Every dish we've tried has been better than the last. Tonight we enjoyed the king crab appetizer (very fresh with a side of Dijon), spicy salumi sourdough pizza (omg yum!), kale salad (crave worthy), scallops (perfectly done), and the rocky road pudding (unexpected, but we practically licked the jar to get the last bite). Excellent from start to finish, and well timed. Highly recommend checking out Main & Vine... you will leave with a happy belly. Five stars in all areas.

This was our first time here. The food and the service we're both excellent. I had the Vic's Mai Tai cocktail, which was very good. My wife had the First Crush cocktail which she enjoyed. We had the Bucatini with clams and the Salmon. Our server Miguel was very attentive and we'll paced with his check instead. It's a little loud which makes conversation difficult. We will go back.

We have gone 3 times and each time we have enjoyed our appetizer and entree. Nice atmosphere. Wait staff has all been well informed and attentive. Becoming our Sunday night go to place. Give it a try. Other places have been unlucky in this spot but I think this is a nice addition. Kale salad, baked cauliflower, Trout, Scallops, Salmon have all been really good (I have had Trout the last 2 times- yep it's really good). Good bar, too

Super excited to have found this place! I've come for drinks, dinner and late night food and every time the food and service has been exceptional! The cocktails are fun and innovative but not trying to hard (which also means they're well executed) and the wine list is very versatile offering all types of west coast varietals. I'm obsessed with their sourdough pizzas! Which you can also get at happy hour -- my fave is the blue cheese and grape, second fave is the Kale + Pine Nut. Speaking of Kale, their kale salad is to die for with its Asian flavors and soft boiled egg. Also, the truffle fries and raw bar options -- Yum! They offer different dinner specials each night of the week so I'm really looking forward to going back and having more dinners there. The best part, as a food and beverage industry professional, I love that I can come here late night on the weekends and get a nice glass of wine and a snack after I'm done working -- so much better than going somewhere loud with gross beer and bar food. Long story short, love this place!

My fiance and I stopped in on a Friday night a few short weeks after opening to try out the hottest new spot in town and we were pleasantly surprised. The space is large; large U-shaped bar with a few TVs, tables to the left in a more secluded room, and then tables in the back next to their pizza bar. Their vibe/decor/menu is a California farm-to-table style which is somewhat different than most restaurants in the area and, thus, refreshing. To start we had oysters on the half shell and their fig toast to start. The oysters were good but not especially unique. The fig toast, however, was the star of the show and one of the best appetizer toasts I've ever had. Thick bread with whipped blue cheese that was smooth but so flavorful topped with fig and prosciutto; I was in heaven. For our entrees I ordered the black grape pizza, another huge winner, although it was pretty greasy (so much cheese! but that's what makes it good). My fiance ordered the burger which was HUGE and a side order of the crab mashed potatoes. I didn't try a bite of the burger but he said it was perfect and I am dying to try it the next time we go. We were even more impressed with the crab mashed potatoes, which at $9, is piled with crab. I am not a huge fan of mashed potatoes but with all that crab I would order them again and again. Our service was overall very good. It was a little slow at times and the restaurant wasn't jam packed so I think they were/are still in the process of getting everything together and working out the kinks which is to be expected. We are excited to come back again and try some other dishes!

I'm so glad I discovered this hidden gem on the Main Line this weekend! It's is very new, open only about a week or so, and it already seems to operate as a well oiled machine. First, there is a large (complimentary!) parking lot, which is a rare find for lots of restaurants in the area. The ambience of the restaurant is upscale and chic without being pretentious. The music was not too loud, and complimented the general smooth vibe of the restaurant. The wait staff was attentive and helpful with suggestions, without being too much when you just want to catch up with your dining partner. The host(ess) was gracious and accommodating, and found us the perfect table with a great view of the action. The bar area was large and spacious, with plenty of room to socialize and relax, and a well stocked bar with craft cocktail creations, and an incredibly curated wine selection. The cuisine is farm to table, with a nod to Northern California Wine Country. The menu is thoughtfully constructed by a chef who obviously appreciates a varied palette, with all of your traditional staples, and some really beautiful inspired, creations. Truly it was a difficult choice on what to try, and the chicken fried oysters and one (or more) of the sourdough pizzas, are next on the list for my return visit. I enjoyed the spring pea agnolotti, which was simple, fresh, and delightful, and my date chose the chicken which was juicy, and flavorful. We shared the fig and prosciutto toast, which was a burst of flavor, and a treat to savor before the entrees. For dessert we could not resist the churros, which have caramel and dark chocolate dipping sauces. Just the right amount of sweet and cinnamon. My mouth is watering recalling the delicious meal. We cannot wait to return to continue our exploration of the menu, and I highly recommend you bring your significant other on a date night, and your close group of friends for a girls (or boys) night out immediately! Five stars, and two thumbs up!

We had the pleasure of dining here for dinner last week and it was truly incredible from start to finish. The ambiance was warm, the music was perfect, the vibe was so relaxing and upscale, the drinks were refreshing and prepared beautifully and the food was on another level of amazing. We started with the Fig Toast and Mussels- both delicious- Mussels packed some heat and a really nice flavor and the house made sour dough loaf was perfect for dipping in the extra sauce. The pizzas are like no other with a sourdough crust- nice and thin with tons of flavor and it was lower in carbs so we weren't totally stuffed after sharing one before our entrees. My husband had the burger- 2 juicy 4 ounce patties with camembert melted in between topped with charred onions and their secret "789" sauce (heaven!) and I had the scallops- cooked to perfection served over an aquerello risotto- earthy, light and delicious. The service was top notch. Finally something unique on the Main Line- I want to compare it to a downtown vibe but it's honestly even better than that. The place has such a good high energy that makes you feel welcomed and like you're in the hot spot in town. Amazing wine list and overall perfect addition to the Main Line!

The decor and ambiance are perfect for the menu and area (Villanova). The first area you walk into is the bar, which is massive, and wraps around in a way that makes the entire restaurant visible. The set-up is perfect for people watching. Mixed in with the bar area is a "lounge" area that has bistro styled tables that can accommodate several people at each table. The lounge is separate from another dining area that is set up for large parties or private events (I was told that the room could be completely closed off from the rest of the restaurant for an added level of privacy. The third seating area is a pizza bar that allows guests another seating option that offers front-row views of chefs making hand tossed Napa style sourdough flatbread pizzas. The pizza bar also has table seating for those wishing to sit in a more traditional dining room setting. The result of the restaurant layout is a chic looking space with plenty of amazing sightlines and views.
As for the food, it was outstanding. We started dinner with two cocktails, the KiKi Collins and a Strawberry Bourbon Old Fashioned. Both drinks were delicious and went very well with our appetizers, the sourdough kale and artichoke pizza and the pork belly. The pizza was delicious and had a nice touch of heat from the chilis and just the right amount of charred crust. The pork belly was exceptional and one of the best I have had anywhere, it melts in your mouth. We followed up our appetizers with the Salmon and Trout entrees. The salmon was cooked perfectly; the skin on the salmon was perfectly crisp and had just the right amount of seasoning. The trout was also delicious. The fish was succulent and cooked to perfection.

And although we did not order a meal from the vine (a salad on their menu), we heard the table next to us rave about them. We finished our meal with the lemon cake and pannacotta. The lemon cake with meringue tasted like a hybrid of a lemon tart and lemon meringue pie--it was outstanding. The pannacotta was also delicious. I preferred the lemon cake, but both were excellent choices that I would definitely recommend. In conclusion, I think that Main and Vine have all the ingredients needed to be a local favorite. I wish the new owners the best of luck and success!

We had the pleasure of dining here for dinner last night and it was truly incredible from start to finish. The ambiance was warm, the music was perfect, the vibe was so relaxing and upscale, the drinks were refreshing and prepared beautifully and the food was on another level of amazing. We started with the Fig Toast and Mussels- both delicious- Mussels packed some heat and a really nice flavor and the house made sour dough loaf was perfect for dipping in the extra sauce. Th...

I had the privilege of attending a preview dinner here last night and the experience was incredible! The food and ambience are like nothing else around. A unique California Bistro with thoughtful detail and sophisticated culinary mastery. Definitely a dining experience you will remember with flavors you will dream about! Their sourdough pizza was outstanding! I will be returning very soon!

We started with the Fig Toast and Mussels- both delicious- Mussels packed some heat and a really nice flavor and the house made sour dough loaf was perfect for dipping in the extra sauce. The pizzas are like no other with a sourdough crust- nice and thin with tons of flavor and it was lower in carbs so we weren't totally stuffed after sharing one before our entrees. My husband had the burger- 2 juicy 4 ounce patties with camembert melted in between topped with charred onions and their secret "789" sauce (heaven!) and I had the scallops- cooked to perfection served over an aquerello risotto- earthy, light and delicious. The service was top notch. A great addition to the Main Line!
