    We arrived at Vine & Oak a few minutes ahead of our reservation time. Checked in and were asked to stand by for a few minutes while our table was set. We had requested Martin, a member of the restaurant staff whom we knew and were told it had been arranged. Our whole dining experience was a positive one. Martin was great (we've eaten at the restaurant several time before, and the service has always been terrific). He helped us select a wine to have with our meal, checked on us during dinner to make sure we had everything we needed. We mentioned to him that we were celebrating our birthdays. When it came time for dessert, Martin made sure that each of us had our choices served with lighted candles and "Happy Birthday" written around the edges of the plates. The atmosphere was festive. Everyone at the restaurant was pleasant and attentive. We're looking forward to our next visit to Vine & Oak.

    Our waitress was rude. She clearly didn’t think we were as high-quality a customer and deserved the service she gave to the table next to us. My scallops were rubber. I will never return.

    This was our first time visiting this restaurant and were overall very happy with the experience. The ambiance is very nice for a date night or regular night out. There are many food options as well as substitutes for gluten allergies. The drinks were made well and the service was excellent.

    Great food and service - the noise level increases as the evening progresses so if you need quiet conversation, go early - make reservations, popular venue

    First time at Vine & Oak and it was a great nite for my friends and I. I had mentioned on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and upon our arrival the hostess asked who's birthday it was. I thought that was very insightful on their part as that's a first for me. Ambience was great as was the service and they brought a flaming dessert for the birthday girl!! Definitely going back.
