Since 2007 Old Vine has redefined dining in Orange County; first, for more than a decade as the beloved Old Vine Café, and now as the expanded Old Vine Kitchen & Bar. The award-winning restaurant, operated by chef-owner Mark McDonald and sommelier-owner Kate Perry, serves dinner and late night cocktails curating the best of food, wine, and cocktails in a non-pretentious, casual atmosphere. Old Vine remains deeply committed to their tested philosophy of featuring regional cuisine, quality products, and fostering authentic connections with customers.
For almost 12 years McDonald led the helm at Old Vine Café, building a loyal customer community around food, wine, and travel through his seasonal menus, hosting guest chef events, and leading clients on twice yearly trips to Italy. With Old Vine Kitchen & Bar he joins forces with longtime Old Vine sommelier Kate Perry, embarking on a new chapter of championing an eclectic offering of food, wine, and cocktails. As a certified sommelier, Perry draws on her training to create guest experiences that feature wine education and that encourage people to try new wines and varietals outside of their comfort zone. Together, McDonald and Perry use their combined culinary and wine expertise to craft the unparalleled food and wine pairings that have become a hallmark of their menu.
