It seems like just last week Vine: Sushi & Sake was a mere creeper in our consciousness, but today it arrives in full verdant bloom. Go ahead and get excited-it’s doing fine business during tonight’s dinner hours, and it’s already garnered one positive review. Plus, its location is perfectly accessible even when there are eight inches of freak March snow on the ground.
For those of you who haven’t picked up one of its ubiquitous takeout menus spread around your lobby, Vine offers seven tiny accordian pages’ worth of sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, curry, and ramen. There’s also a special Columbia lunch box that swaps out the normal box’s vegetable tempura for a salad, no doubt because of college students’ well-documented aversion to fatty foods. So get there before it becomes the next Pinkberry and you never want to hear its name again.

@WHAT ABOUT SHABU SHABU! THIS IS A TRAVESTY
@is there bubble tea at vine?
@nope there’s no bubble tea. all of the good drinks they had at swish are now over at ollie’s
@nope again ps they do give you free tea though. :)
@can you guys please figure out if this is owned by the swish people and remind us why swish was shut down in the first place? thanks.
@OBVIOUSLY Vine is obviously a reincarnation of Tomo, rather than a nouveau Cafe Swish. Can’t you tell by the bad service, worse food, and unimaginative menu?
@??? Does “Vine” have bubble tea??
@... no but they have bottomless mugs of thunderbird.
@there are so many happy comments on this post compared to most others. food brings love :)
@IF... YOU TRY AND FIND OUT WHO IS PLAYING BACCHANAL AND THERE IS MEDIA COVERAGE OF IT (i.e. spec or bwog) THE ARTIST CAN OPT OUT OF THE CONTRACT. SO STOP
@what is bacchanal?
@... yes. yes, this is all well and good and all. but what of haakon’s hall? all sorts of rumblings about opening for the holidays, then january. i haven’t seen anything of them since that sad halloween night when they set up a bunch of crap out front and everybody ignored it…
are they still working on it? did they get credit crunched? in over their heads? WHAT IS GOING ON? LAZYWEB DO INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING PLZ.
@HAAKONS YES PLEASE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS ALMOST MYTHICAL ESTABLISHMENT.

@Food Do they sell sushi here?
@... read the damn article.
@booooooooooooo no shabu shabu! that was the best part!
@??? why are you talking about this as if it’s a new restaurant? it is just swish with a new name. the menu is even in the same font!
@because it’s so much better than swish was.
@how so? haven’t been yet. inquiring minds want to know.
@i can't really explain it it’s just much tastier
