Five Vines Wine Bar

My fiancé and I held an engagement party in the upstairs portion of the restaurant. We had tasted wines and enjoyed happy hour at the restaurant before so we were aware of the caliber it provided.
We had an amazing experience with the owner Suzy, who went above and beyond. As well as the staff and chef that helped with the event. The food was incredible, the venue decorated perfectly, and the service was worth every penny!
I know this review does not exactly embody the restaurant itself but it does exemplify how great the food, wine, service, and ambiance the restaurant has.

Dimly lit and cozy with great wine and flatbreads. The server checked on us frequently and made good conversation as well. First time here, while exploring San Juan Capistrano, and it was reasonably priced for a great experience.

This place is just the best! We had a private dinner/party upstairs and as you walk up the stairs it was like walking into a perfect Christmas wonderland. The decorations were so beautiful, and it made the whole environment feel so comfortable and cozy.

All the food was so stinking good. We all loved the appetizers, and had to pace ourselves so we had room for the main course. Everything was amazing, but the cowboy steak was next level. We were all so impressed with the food, the service, and location. It really couldn't have been better.

I've never met a more rude bartender at the front wine bar. She was a more heavyset mom type lady. I have been a bartender myself and there is a certain way to talk to people. You don't need to be rude or demeaning if someone is asking a question for clarification. I don't know who hurt you tonight but stop reflecting this business poorly. Came in on the night of November 7th 2024

Absolutely perfect private venue. We booked the upstairs for a private party of about 30 people. The atmosphere and decor, and the food and the service were all out of this world awesome! It’s a beautiful rustic space with a lot of warmth and life in how it’s decorated. You honestly don’t need to bring much decoration for your event to still have a wow factor. We were receiving compliments from our guests even the next day (even on the private bathroom for the space lol)! Loved having the skylight and terrace access for that next-level openness! Suzy was so helpful and pleasant answering all our questions during the planning. The menu selection was huge and everything we chose was absolutely delicious. Don’t think you could go wrong anywhere in your event by choosing this venue. Truly professionals that care. :)

Unfortunately, I cannot give more than five stars because if I could I would. The food was amazing as was the service and the wine. Fresh marinated olives, Margherita flat bread, and outstanding service and wine flights were what we experienced.

We are being super picky, being from Europe. This is one of the best restaurants and wine bars we went to in the USA and we lived here for 29 years. Wines were so superior to all the wines we tried in the USA and food was fresh and great. Service was attentive too and you have « real » glass glasses. Amazing place!

The atmosphere and small town feel just make this place a pure delight to just hang out at.
Their house Moscato is one of if not the best Moscatos around.
