Took a friend here because of the good reviews and had pretty poor meal. The one impressive thing is the menu which is well laid out and full of information, and a wide range of foods. However, when most of them aren't available it quickly becomes a depressing experience.

Arrived at 6.30pm, which is when it opens in the evening, and it was already sold out of all but one of the soups, as well as about 4 other main courses we ordered (including all veggie options). My friend's (third choice) burger was "soggy" and he couldn't eat it. My main was ok but arrived before I had finished my starter.

A price tage of nearly 300rmb, including 2 beers, made this a poor and over-priced dining experience I will never repeat.

I'm sad to read all of these bad reviews. The Vineyard used to be such a treat. There's been a lot of hype and press over the Vineleaf but I hope the management sees these and puts some more effort into the Vineyard location. Based on the most recent reviews, I'm not even sure I'd want to try the new Vineleaf branch if they're letting things go so far downhill at a restaurant that was previously so popular and well liked. Hope things turn around!

From what I understand one of their original partners was unceremoniously removed and "bought out" of the business earlier this year. I think that may be a large part of the problem recently.
