Wine Bank - Port Orange

Not my kind of place. The bar / tavern had screaming, loud customers on a day when there was no one around. Really a tasting menu, teen plate, teen servings, bad value for money. The waitress told me that the green peppers in my clam chowder were mild - they weren't and had to spit out with a burning mouth. Really embarrassing when I was treated. Instead, they gave me asparagus. Your only vegetable. They didn't notice that my water glass was empty and I had to request it. Backless benches to sit in the tavern / bar, but you can request an uncomfortable chair. Not a place where you, like me, eat a lot of healthy protein and vegetables. I don't like leaving a restaurant where I feel bloated with too much food, but I don't want to go hungry either. The coffee was good after the meal.

4 plates divided. Scallops cooked perfectly, sauce not very aromatic, chased the small amount of peas around the plate. Beet platter was good. Tuna poke had strings of supposedly kelp salad, fries were sparse and not wasabi powder. If more chips were requested, the answer was "not sure but will be checked". Return with 4 chips. It seemed pretty strange that the smoked bluefish and avocado toast was served with bluefish on one toast and avocado on the other.

Really great experience! We will be back soon. I wish they were open for lunch. My only complaint was the music selection, which was a little strange for this environment.

On Mother's Day, the menu was ridiculously limited with very small portions and expensive options. The chicken dish that 2 of the people in our group had ordered was not enough to feed a child !! The decor is very good, but you need to expand your selection even when you are not on vacation.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The staff, ambiance, and food were all outstanding. The dishes were thoughtful, fresh, and inventive. I can't wait to go back and try the vegetable gnocchi again.
