About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

Chef/Owners Lisa & Terry Harwood opened Vine Street Cafe in 2003. Located on South Ferry Road, just 1.5 miles from the South Ferry. Chef Terry works with area farmers, fishermen & vineyards and features their natural bounty on his seasonal menus. We make everything in house and Lisa's desserts, ice creams and fruit crisps are no exception. Recently, we opened a small market behind the restaurant. This is where you pick up take-out orders while stocking your home pantry. Specialty catering is available along with ready fresh meals such as meatballs, chicken salad, bread, smoked ribs, BBQ Sauce and a selection of artisan pastas. Reservations are highly recommended year round.

We’ve eaten here numerous times and always enjoyed it. However tonight the service was awful. We waited over an hour after appetizers to get our main course. The manager was very apologetic and removed items from our bill to compensate for our problem but we were never told why the problem occurred.

Our friend is deadly allergic to peanuts and we told server. Server told us all food is fried in peanut oil. This is simply Shocking. There was clearly also cross contamination and my friend had an allergic reaction from the salmon

Food was excellent. Service was very attentive. Our server answered questions with thoughtfulness and care all while having a server in training beside her. Definitely stands out from other restaurants especially on the North Fork. Dishes and accompanying sauces proved quality ingredients are used. Loved the chutney! Prices were high. Will return to try some other items on the menu!

Our dinner was delicious and our waiter Ariel was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful and whatever he didn’t know, he was willing to make the effort to find out. There were a few hiccups with having no glasses when the wine was served and the cork cracked inside the bottle leading to flecks of cork in our wine but nothing crazy. No spoons for the soup. Table not cleared between courses. It was still a wonderful evening and one of our favorite places to go when here on SI.
