The beloved and award-winning Old Vine Kitchen & Bar returns to the Orange County culinary scene by reopening on-premise dining on July 8, with an emphasis on staff and guest safety and an expansion of its intimate dining experience. In addition to Old Vine’s popular backyard patio, guests can now spend evenings enjoying two newly-acquired outdoor dining spaces: The Roof and The Stairway Patio.

All three patios will offer a comfortable ambiance, populated with shady umbrellas, an abundance of greenery, and a series of art installations by Orange County-based artist and industrial designer Mark Gerardi.
Returning diners will be delighted to find brand new bar and dinner menus from Chef McDonald, who has helmed Old Vine’s kitchen for more than 13 years. From revamped old favorites, such as Old Vine’s Caprese of Burrata, to soon-to-be classics, such as a new, four-course cocktail pairing tasting menu, guests are sure to savor his fresh takes on Old Vine’s signature regional cuisine, always crafted with top quality food products and now a totally scratch kitchen.
