Cafe Rule & Wine Bar offers fine food and a consistently good dining experience. The cocktail prices are reasonable, and the restaurant excels in service and ambiance. While the breakfast buffet could use some improvement in its layout, the scrambled eggs remain a highlight, being light and fluffy. Recently, the restaurant has transitioned to Italian-based food, which has been well received by customers. Many have praised the elegant and well-maintained interior, the excellent wine selection, and the delicious food. However, some dishes, like the “special” Caprese salad, have faced criticism for quality, particularly the tomatoes. The pizza has also been described as more like flatbread. Despite this, dishes such as the lasagna have received positive feedback. The attentive staff ensures that any issues with food temperature are promptly addressed. The restaurant is a great place to dine, offering a fantastic meal experience for special occasions, and many customers are eager to return to try more dishes like the steak and pasta. Overall, Cafe Rule & Wine Bar continues to provide an enjoyable dining experience in Hickory, North Carolina.
