Off The Vine

Great wine selection and they also serve beer. I can’t remember if they have a full bar or not, I’m going to say no they don’t. Out of the two times I was here the second was in the back room during a private party which is convenient if you have a birthday or a special event that needs a space. The snacks they have are yummy — a variety of dips and small appetizer plates. I really liked the artichoke dip. Kind of wish they had more of a selection for food I would probably come here more often. They have live music occasionally but unfortunately have never been in during any of the live shows. It is a great place to go to share a bottle (s) of wine with a couple friends. Wine Wednesday.

Really wish there was a better food choice. The beverages was awesome but the food seamed to lack some pizazz. also too a long time before someone came to serve us.

You walk in… you’re greeted by the Black Keys oozing from the sound system, the interior is hip — but not pretentious. A smile creeps up from the corners of your mouth (like the Grinch after his epiphany on just HOW he’ll wreck Christmas for the Who’s)…you feel good and thank the Angels of Unilocal for another score!
I sat at the bar, Bryce the bartender/​waiter was friendly and quick to welcome me — there’s more wine on hand than a Greek temple, but they ALSO have quality beer in the refrigerator. I had a Summit & let Bryce choose the next — a beer called «Carpe Brewem» (solid).
On to the food… YOU are in for a gastronomic high five! They serve Tapas only… but holy God it’s good. I ate hummus (homemade), delicious crab Rangoon (the REAL STUFF– not that cream cheese crap you get elsewhere) and wonderful lettuce chicken wraps… I’m not kidding when I say THIS is GREAT FARE and worth the excellent price; I’m full and content. Also, I travel– a lot — and this restaurant is a gem in the heart of French fried Minot alternatives — go, order drinks, EAT here, And you WILL BE MERRY. (Cheers)

I love this place. The atmosphere is great, the wine choices are pretty great. The appetizers are delicious and it’s just a really great place to go after a gallery visit or just to catch up with some friends or maybe even to go on a romantic one on one with your special someone.
I love how cozy the place is and the service is really great. The crowd ranges in young to old and each time we’ve gone there have been a super loud bunch of women on a «women’s night out» which kind of sucks because they’re beyond obnoxious. But otherwise the place is great! Definitely the best spot in town like this.
It kind of has that warm beaver brew café atmosphere but it has wine and a jazzy feel.
I love coming here, definitely recommend

Terrible service, took the «bartender» a little under 10 minutes to realize I sat down, walked by me 4 times until she finally asked what I wanted. While sitting at the bar, the male «bartender» who doesn’t look like he showered this year brought in Thai food and the two females stood there and ate in front of all 6 of the customers.
The few decent things about this place is prices are decent, tapas were pretty weak, but the décor and interior were really nice. Lack of customers probably due to poor staff.
All in all the group I went with and I don’t plan on heading back anytime soon.

A classy alternative to most of the bars in Minot. If you want to drink in peace and not witness «bro drinkfest» brawling or drama, this is the place in town.
No hard liquor but that’s fine. Prices are a bit high but the selection is excellent, a lot of the lower priced options are still high quality.

The wine and beer selection are excellent! The atmosphere is wonderful and so is the service… The ‘tapas’ could use improvement. Deli meats and jarred olives aren’t really a match to how
Nice it is in there. Kicking it up just a notch would make a huge difference. Gourmet olives and cheeses pair well with wines. Maybe offer a bread and dipping oil with a bottle purchase. Maybe a Pesto cheese spread, just a suggestion. Really over all the place is wonderful. Would just like to see a few other things

Beer and wine only — tapas.
There’s a good variety of beer and a large wine list. The prices are fair, I had a bottle beer for $ 4. We ordered the Artichoke Dip ($ 8), it was fantastic! I loved that everything is visually appealing; tapas look delicious and some of the beers come with a matching glass (thought that was a cute touch).
I sat at the bar but there are plenty of tables and seating for groups. The ambiance here is really nice. It’s very clean and has a classy/​romantic décor. You can dress up or down, I saw both. The bartenders were really friendly too.
One of the best places for drinks that I’ve been to in Minot.

This place is located in downtown Minot. It has a beautiful fireplace and piano. Off the Vine also has a great selection of wine for a place located in Minot. I’ve never gotten there early enough to sample their menu. However, I’ve heard good things about the cheese plate.

Atmosphere — A classy little bar. Great art work and love the painted life size horse near the front door. Later in the night they had a jazz band playing which brought a crowd in.
Food
Appetizer — It is a tapas night out for dinner. Chipotle meatballs, there were six on the plate each with its own toothpick covered carefully with a red sauce. They were very tasty. At the same time we got the Bruschetta Sampler. This was my favorite one of the night. One of the samples of Bruschetta was smothered in mushrooms, I would have been happy eating that all night. What a wonderful surprise as I am not a big mushroom eater. Finally we finished the night with the Antipasto; salami, ham, many types of cheeses, and a variety of crackers. I just wish I knew what each of the cheeses was on the plate, the menu did not say.
Main Course — All we ate were tapas so no real main course.
Dessert — We had dessert here too, the only item on the menu is a Tiger cake. Chocolate cake with some white frosting all drizzled with chocolate syrup. It reminded me of having a ding dong as a kid, but taking it to the next level. The cake was chilled.
Service — Our waitress was polite and helpful and always handy for our next order. What nice surprise to find in Minot.
Future — I would love to go back for some more tapas.
