    Overall a very good experience. Appetizers were both delicious. Filet mignon was not great and the chocolate lava cake was a little dry for lava cake

    Cocktails were great - a bit pricey but standard now. The ceviche tacos were fantastic. And the portions are very generous. Great food , great atmosphere 😀

    I messaged about getting a quiet table for a hearing impaired friend. When we arrived, a baby shower was being set up and were told only high top tables were available. I had to beg for a better table in an offset room for quiet. Once placed at this table we were promptly forgotten. Not even water! The manager did figure out the mishap and apologized and first round of drinks were on him. Still, it was disappointing and frankly, disrespectful.

    Saw friends post about Vine and Oak Tavern. Decided to make reservations. We arrived early- had drinks at the bar. Then proceeded to the dinning area. We said we were going to share the beet salad- hubby and I each got a salad. Beautifully presented. Entrees were tasty. Really liked the crème brûlée. Nice ambiance. Our Server Danny was attentive. Silverware changed with each course. He brought me a to go container and bag for my entree! Thank you Street parking.
