    We had a group of 7 at Vine and Oak for a lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There was a large group at the restaurant celebrating an engagement party, but other than that group the place was 50% full when we arrived. The food was very good; we had a number of different entrees and everyone enjoyed the food. However, the service was very slow. It took a long time to get our first drink and we had to flag down a server to order a second drink. Overall it took 2+ hours for lunch. Given the large party, I would go again and hope that the service would be better, but if I have a similar experience the next time, I would not keep it on my preferred list.

    This is the first time since we have been coming to vibe and oak, that we were not happy with our steak choices.

    We always love going there. Service is great and so is the food. It was my birthday today so was expecting at least the dessert to be a courtesy. But no big deal. Still great place

    As always, the food was decadent. I can’t say enough about the calamari with mango! Our server, Danny, was friendly, knowledgeable about menu selections, and very attentive. It was a lovely birthday celebration!

    Beautiful restaurant but very noisy, even on a relatively quiet night. Food was very pretty on the plate but underwhelming. Service was good but not attentive. Over a good place to go for a meal out, but not a special one.

    About our fourth visit there and the last one. Service is just horrible. They literally whisk your plate away from under your nose while you’re trying to eat them. They are so anxious to clear the table.
