"Chef Amy Mehrtens’ star is surely on the rise. The chef at Copper Vine, a CIA grad with an innate sense of what tastes good, dishes shareables like black truffle fries, crawfish beignets, and seared duck breast with pickled blueberries. She’s on a growth track, with the restaurant’s soon-to-be unveiled expansion to become Copper Vine Wine Pub & Inn, with 11 guest rooms in the newly built structure adjacent to the restaurant — Mehrtens is ready." - Beth D’Addono
