Vines by H, formerly known as Vines Grille & Wine Bar, is now open on Orlando’s Restaurant Row in Dr. Phillips.

Originally established in 2003, the beloved Dr. Phillips staple has been fully renovated and thoughtfully reimagined, blending modern American cuisine with subtle Mediterranean and European influences, alongside a curated wine program, a relaxed cigar lounge, and nightly live entertainment.

The Vines name remains as a nod to its roots, while the restaurant enters a new era under The H Hospitality Group, the team behind The H Orlando, also in Dr. Phillips.

Under Executive Chef Omer Yildiz, formerly executive sous chef at The H Orlando who also has experience in MICHELIN-recognized restaurants in Turkey, the kitchen balances familiar flavors with subtle refinement and polished presentation for food that feels elevated but familiar.

Dinner at Vines by H begins with a selection of enticing starters such as the refreshing Sea Bass Ceviche with lime and jalapeño, Crispy Calamari with tartar and harissa sauces, Blue Crab Fingers with a spicy Cajun sauce for dipping, and tender Lamb Lollipops served with potato salad, pickled cucumbers and gremolata.

Crisp salads and warm flatbreads bring more early course options, including a classic Margherita Flatbread and a hearty Philly Cheese Steak Flatbread, along with a Mediterranean classic, the Greek Salad, and the creamy, locally made Burrata with heirloom cherry tomatoes, celery pesto, arugula and roasted figs.

Pastas are made from scratch daily using the highest quality ingredients, with close attention paid to texture and depth of flavor, while the grill draws on the steakhouse expertise of sister restaurant The H Orlando with selections including Chilean Sea Bass, a refined take on Bavarian Schnitzel and exquisitely grilled, premium cuts of Filet Mignon, the 14-ounce Ribeye and New York Strip with a choice of house-made sauces.

Desserts include crackly-topped Crème Brûlée with lemon crumble and raspberries, and decadent Vines Chocolate Cake served à la mode warm with French vanilla ice cream and house-made cherry sauce.

The cocktail program balances timeless classics with house signatures, from a French 75 to the Vines Carajillo, and offers a selection of mocktails, such as the Lavender Mojito.

A daily happy hour rounds out the experience, featuring select wines by the glass, beer, and $10 classic cocktails, complemented by a selection of the restaurant’s starters and flatbreads. Happy hour is offered daily from 4 to 6:30pm, with live jazz nightly from 6 to 9pm.

With live jazz every night, we wanted to create a high-energy experience, where guests can enjoy great cuisine, exceptional wine, and timeless music in one welcoming setting.”
