    The short rib was overcooked. The polenta and fries were good. The bread was stale and the prosciutto was tough in the Toast with cheese appetizer.

    Ceviche appetizer had no evidence of fish. Do not order. The bourbon cocktail had barely any liquor. Not worth it if you want an alcoholic beverage. Sauce on the tagliatelle was tasty but overwhelmed the dish Pear salad was excellent. Service was very good Ambiance was great. Be careful and specific about your food order.

    I had the hanger steak tonight it was beautifully presented, my only complaint was I asked for medium rare and received what's called Black and Blue or to the novice rare. I could understand the steak being undercook if it wasn't presented sliced but it was a sliced hanger steak and it should have been immediately noticed by the Chef cooking it as soon as he sliced into it. This will not stop me from going back to this restaurant.

    The food and ambience was good. But, they completely forgot my wife’s birthday despite the note on the reservation. Poured water on a special evening.

    Met my girlfriends for lunch. Our drinks and meals were perfect. We shared the Caesar salad and beet salad. Sea bass, short ribs and steak were cooked to perfection. Our server was attentive and the ambiance was great. Can’t wait to go back.

    We were a group of 6 for the night. Our seating was immediate the servers were on point with each course and drinks. The food was absolutely outstanding. It was funny to point out to the table that everyone was focused on their food vs conversation which is rare for our group when we go out. Overall wonderful experience thank you to the Vine & Oak team.
