Craft & Vine

Craft and Vine is my FAVORITE dining spot. Friday night, my date and I indulged in the Lobster Corn Dogs, the Spicy Pizza, a couple of Manhattans, Espresso Martini’s, a nice bottle of Shiraz, following up with dessert and french press coffee for two! We always sit at the bar as we both LOVE Calvin and Alex. Thank you Craft and Vine for always providing me with the ULTIMATE dining experience!

One of our new favorite places in Augusta! We went during Christmastime when the whole place is completely decked out in Christmas decorations and it’s magical. We ordered the poutine and The Boss pizza. The pizza was to die for and tasted just like French onion soup. We both ordered one of their holiday drinks that came in fun cups and were yummy. Definitely plan on coming back!! **tip: if coming during Christmastime definitely get there before they open because there’s always a line waiting!

Very cute restaurant/bar and they stay open pretty late. We came by on a Friday night around 9:30pm, there was a wait but we were able to sit at the bar quickly. They had happy hour the time we were there so the normal $12 average for a drink was about $7. Drinks were good. Tried the fried oysters as well, full disclaimer, I DO NOT EAT SEAFOOD LIKE THAT and that was my first time trying an oyster in any form, it wasn’t bad at all lol. I will come back and order an actual entree next time. Decor is super chíc and staff had a cool eclectic vibe.

Upscale-ish. Nice place. Really well done craft cocktails. Food selections are interesting and very well prepared. Service is great but also a little bit interesting with unique characters and not tired and plastic smiles. You can tell that this is a college town though because so many customers were dressed like they were going to class. Very casual. Too casual. Like why not go to McDonalds dressed like that casual. Oh well, what can you do? I think my favorite thing was the curation of the cocktail menu.

I have been a regular at craft and vine for the past 4 years! It is one of my favorite restaurants downtown so I am disappointed that it has taken me this long to write a review. I will say that they went all out this Christmas as far as decorations go. They completely transformed the inside of the restaurant which makes the experience even better. I love how they do themes on a regular (thanksgiving, Halloween, campfire, Latin etc.). This weekend my girlfriends and I stopped by right at 1700 to celebrate a birthday and we were lucky enough to get a table rather quickly. We did have to put our name on the waitlist right at 5 and be outside the restaurant in order to make sure we got a table as it seems this place is pretty busy now a days. When we showed up around 1650 there was already about 10-15 people in line so keep that in mind for planning purposes and I highly recommend that once 1700 hits that you also put your name on waitlist (powered by OpenTable) as that’s also another tool they go by. The burrata pesto pizza is one of my favorites (you really can’t go wrong with any of their pizzas). We also had the cauliflower popcorn, scallops and smoked Salomon roulettes amongst many more. We were there during happy hour (runs 1700-1830) so got great deals on some of their cocktails. Will definitely continue enjoying this amazing tapas style restaurant. Love the staff and the ambiance.

Been here multiple times, they do have good food and a unique atmosphere, and really do go all out with decorating for the holidays, especially Christmas. However, the vibe is like a wanna be speak easy with very snooty bartenders. They advertise on their website that they have a happy hour, but the bartenders will never give you a happy hour menu, or let you know there is a happy hour during happy hour times unless you specifically ask. They will also attempt to overcharge you, and then when questioned will say they gave you the wrong bill from another customer, which is believable if it did not happen every time I have gone there.

Craft and Vine is one of my favorite places in downtown Augusta. My most recent visit was beyond fantastic, our server Mahogany (hope I got her name right) was super sweet. She made sure everything went smoothly and got our food orders timed so we had a few minutes between courses. The manager Nick delivered one of the drinks to check in and introduce himself. Overall, my best experience yet.
