★★★★★ 5.0 Mark S · Mar 2026

We've been here a bunch before, and always liked it, but felt the menu, and the restaurant in general, was trying to be e bit too high end. We saved it for "special occasions" where we knew we'd overpay for great atmosphere, good food, and great service. They completely redid their menu since we were here last, and we loved it. I am a fairly picky eater, and was often limited to a handful of items on the old menu. Now the entire menu was open for business. The new menu is kind of a mix between American and Italian, and I'm excited to put V&O into our rotation. Everything seemed to be reasonably priced, except maybe the wine (Prisoner Red Blend $120, Quilt Cab $155), but you have to expect that.

The Vine & Oak Tavern is a fantastic spot that truly understands hospitality. We visited for a friend’s birthday celebration, and the staff went out of their way to make the occasion feel extra special. What blew me away was that even on a snow day, the staff showed up and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The atmosphere strikes a great balance—it's cozy enough for an intimate meal but spacious enough for a group. We started with a medley of appetizers, and the food was incredible across the board. Whether you are looking for a great brunch or a solid lunch, they have an amazing selection that hits the mark every time. Top-tier service, delicious food, and a beautiful formal dining room. I can’t recommend this place enough!"

my server Victoria was so professional, calm and soothing and suggested all the correct wines to compliment my juicy delicious filet mignon ~my niece ordered the burger and she is a picky eater, she went NUTS OVER HOW JUICY AND DELICIOUS IT WAS, it is the best $22 BURGER ANYWHERE! you can tell it comes fresh from the butcher, the ambiance made my niece feel she was in a sophisticated cozy place in NYC - cant wait to go back!!!!!!!
