Good food. Great wine. Meaningful moments.

At The Lush Vine, we believe the best moments in life happen when we slow down, gather around the table, and enjoy the company we keep.

We are a locally owned restaurant and wine bar in the heart of Manteno, created for connection, celebration, and the simple pleasure of sharing something good. Our approach brings together elevated shared plates, flatbreads, pizzas, thoughtfully selected wines, local craft beer, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels just as right for a casual lunch as it does for a night out with friends.

We believe wine should be explored, enjoyed, and experienced in new ways. That belief inspires our innovative approach to wine, including a creative cocktail list made entirely with wine as its foundation. From discovering a new favorite glass to trying a thoughtfully crafted wine cocktail, we make it easy to explore something different, whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply curious to try something new.

We believe dining should be an experience, not just a meal. From sharing a few plates across the table to enjoying a date night, discovering local craft beer, or celebrating a special occasion, every visit is an opportunity to make an ordinary day feel a little more special.

As a restaurant, wine bar, and event destination, The Lush Vine also provides a space for life’s most memorable gatherings. From birthdays and bridal showers to corporate events, private parties, and milestone celebrations, our event space offers a welcoming setting for bringing people together. With customizable menus and thoughtfully planned experiences, we help make each gathering feel personal and memorable.

What We Embrace

We embrace quality without pretension, creativity without complication, and hospitality that makes everyone feel welcome. We believe in trying something new, supporting the community we call home, celebrating life’s milestones, and creating spaces where people can connect in meaningful ways.

Whether you’re joining us for lunch, meeting friends over wine and shared plates, discovering a new favorite drink, or gathering your favorite people for a special occasion, our hope is that you’ll always find something to enjoy and a reason to return.

Come for the food and wine. Stay for the moments.

Welcome to The Lush Vine. We’re glad you’re here.
