What a disappointment- we usually have had such great food and experience here but Sunday lunch is definitely not the time to go! Food was mediocre at best and they were understaffed. Will give us pause going back at night :(

Came here for a date night with my wife, and we were not disappointed! Incredible food, service, ambiance and heavily poured drinks... this place had it all. We will definitely be back again!

My niece had never been to Vine & Oak but I've been several times so I said I would bring her there for dinner during her birthday weekend. She loved the ambiance and said the food was delicious (which I wasnt surprised)! The waitor was great and offered appreciated opinions on his favorites. We went on a early Sunday evening. She will be back with her family!

Good food as always. The only thing was we weren't as crazy about the apps we ordered. Tried new ones this time. The tuna tartare, which needs a little more avocado and less cucumbers and the fried burrata was just lacking a good flavor. Our dinners were fantastic as always.

What an enjoyable evening! The service is top notch and we felt like celebrities! The owners came over numerous times to chat! Loved the personal care. The food was delicious. Sea bass was cooked to perfection! Drinks superb! Dessert was creative and delicious. My dessert came out with a fiery candle to celebrate my birthday! This restaurant is fantastic!

This is an excellent restaurant. The decor has a very New York vibe but it's comfortable. The food is excellent. The weight staff is attentive and they don't rush you through your meal. We've been here several times; Friday and Saturday nights are busy and I can get a little bit loud, but that just adds to the feeling of being in a trendy place! Sunday evenings are a little quieter, but it still has a nice vibe. Definitely recommend!.

I can't believe how bad the food was. My son already said that his friends from high school didn't like it but I decided to ignore it. First, the bread that came with butter was awful. The butter was mixed with thyme and lots of honey. We got a shock taking a bite of it because it was pure sugar. Then, I ordered an Arnold Palmer. I did not think you could mess it up but the smell and taste of tap water in it was very intensive. Next was the tuna tartare. I ate two bites and really tried but the whole dish was drenched in soy sauce. It was so salty, I could not eat it and our very nice waitress took it back. Now our main course. My parpadelle with short rib sauce was also sweet. The meat had no taste and it was an absolute disaster. Even the truffle fries were awful and the filet mignon was served with a red sauce similar to a BBQ sauce. I actually can't believe that this restaurant got such high ratings. I normally don't leave reviews but this was so bad that I needed to write it. The service was very nice. The food was the worst.

Mixed reviews on the food. The pork chops were excellent! Cooked perfectly. Ricotta toast also excellent. Hanger steak bloody; it was supposed to be medium. Branzino overcooked for one of us. Our server was excellent also. The room is dark so the menus were a bit hard to read.
