Portland's - Phoenix

There are pizzas and burgers and a few ducks and deserts, nothing challenging or insulting and everything tasty and not particularly expensive. But it is all wrapped in the laps of modern architecture revival, which has been popular for the last few years. It only seems like another faceless, mid-priced place to eat. And it would be if it were not for the silly pretension of a “vine”. I like wine, but increasing it to the level of fetishism is simply absurd for me. Wine is something you drink with food. In this place, the food seems to be a supplement to the wine selection.

It’s pizza and burgers and a few entrees and deserts, nothing challenging or offensive and everything’s tasty and not especially expensive. But it’s all wrapped in the tinsel of the modern architecture revival that’s been popular for the last few years. It just seems like just another faceless, mid-priced place to eat. And it would be if it weren’t for the silly pretension of a “wine bar.” Ugh, I like wine but elevating it to the level of fetishism is just absurd to me. Wine is something you drink with food. In this place the food seems more like it was added to complement the wine selection.
