    We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation and no inside table was available so we sat outside. I had expected better service. Water took long to refill. No check-ups after we for our appetizers or main dishes to see if we needed anything. My husband ordered a second drink and it came with the check; it took so long we thought he forgot. Charcuterie board was just ok, I probably wouldn’t order it again. I have them 2 stars because my husband enjoyed his hangar steak. The truffle fries were good. But the bucatini and mussels were so spicy. I did not enjoy them. I was disappointed and won’t be coming back.

    The food was very good. The risotto that came with the salmon was not cooked enough. They turned the lights down I guess for ambiance but it was too dark. Also, the wait staff seemed to be staring at the patrons a little too much.

    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.
