   Loved the ambiance and the high ceilings. Food was great, but my dish (sautéed cod special in shrimp broth) was a little too salty for my liking. While it was a very hot day, the ac wasn’t working too great, and all 4 women at the table had to put our hair up. The service was excellent!

   My husband ordered the steak and loved everything about it! I ordered the linguini and white clam and wasn't impressed. The clams were overcooked and the linguini was undercooked with little flavor. I am also pregnant and when I had questions about the menu, due to a language barrier, the waiter wasn't able to understand my questions which was a little frustrating. That being said he was very nice and attentive! We would eat there again for sure!

   Was really impressed by the decor, food, and service! Trish, our server was amazing and everything we had was delicious. Favorite dishes were the cauliflower appetizer, burrata, and the octopus. 5 stars for our first visit. Highly recommend.

   Wow. Cranford does it again with a red hot restaurant. Beautiful room. Vibrant packed house on a summer Saturday night. My parents took me for my birthday. We have been watching this space develop for months and i am pleased to say they didn’t disappoint. The octopus; beet salad and bronzino were excellent. This place is busy … be prepared for a crowd …. It’s close to a NYC experience. Fun fact: it was originally a bank: there are soaring ceilings and spectacular scenery (chandeliers, wine wall). Unfortunately the bank vault doesn’t seem to be there anymore. I wonder what they did with it. My grandmother kept her silver in a safe deposit there! Kudos to the front desk for giving my dad a seat close to the door. Suggestion: yes it is fun to be in a lively place but they might want to work on some more noise muffling techniques… the room can get loud. Also, very nice full service long bar with adjacent bar tables in one elevated section overlooking main room.

    We are still super Covid conscious and only eat outdoors. It was super hot out and while they coinage deinied us service outside, they welcomed us, served us, paid attention to us—brought us extra ice, water, checked to see if we were okay. They could have had a more select wine by the glass choice and a more flavorful menu and salad choice but the food we ordered was good and fresh. Just preferred more choices and specials that were not on the menu. Would come back due to the quality of the service. Nice to have an upscale restaurant close to home with outdoor seating.

    My husband and I had 8:30 reservations arrived at 8:30 and were not seated until 9pm. No apology was given for the wait. There was water (seemingly condensation) dripping from the ceiling just next to our table. Our waitress was friendly but it was clear she did not have the support she needed and as a result service overall was slow. The cheese plate was disappointing, my food came out over cooked and not very warm, and part of my husband’s order was forgotten albeit brought out later after our waitress noticed. For the price and given our expectations we were pretty disappointed with the experience and are unlikely to return.

    We've been a few times, and each time was worse than the prior. Most recently, had an early reservation; they didn't bring certain courses, service was really slow, and some of the food was weirdly cooked. A shame because has a good looking menu and cool vibe.

    Upscale New York vibe with great selections for wine and food. Servers are attentive, food is prepared to order and plated beautifully. The grilled octopus is tender and savory, the best we have had anywhere. Cherry pistachio gelato is a must try with a nice cup of cappuccino.

    First time at Vine & Oak - blown away by the beautiful interior of the restaurant - high ceilings, beautiful bar. Excellent service, attentive but not annoying. Drinks were strong and creative. Food was delicious! I had the burrata appetizer and then the filet mignon and loved both. Will definitely return.

    This isn’t easy for me to do. I’ve never written a bad review. We were really looking forward to coming to this restaurant. We came ro celebrate a Birthday. The decor and ambiance- lovely. We had a bit of a rushed experience. Apps tasted great. However there was something wrong with each of our entrees. Clams were rubbery and flavorless. Chicken tasted gamey. Escarole tasted like rancid oil. We were disappointed and underwhelmed. Hoping for this establishment that it was just an off night for them. Otherwise I could see it not staying in business very long.

    This was our second trip to V & O. We had a late reservation and when we arrived the place was hopping. Rather than wait for a regular table we took a high top next to the bar. We could have sat outside but the restaurant in at the corner of two busy streets. Plus the interior is nicely done. It initially was a little noisy (it was full after all) but as our dinner progressed the crowd thinned out (10pm). We had cocktails. My wife a special for the night, gin based with agave and cucumber and I had a Negroni. Both were good although my Negroni didn’t have an orange slice garnish and was in a champagne style glass. (Minor issues-snobby? Lol) We started with the calamari appetizer which was delicious. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the mango pepper garnishment and sauce was great. I had the beef braised short ribs with polenta and my wife had the day boat scallops. Both were tasty and presented nicely and the portions were generous. All in the bill was around $132 plus tip. We are happy that V & O came to Cranford. They are definitely on our regular restaurant rotation now.

    If your looking to have drinks& dinner on a Saturday night in 30 minutes this is your place. I would like to have a drink then have dinner but last night both arrived at the same time. Also requested tap water then waiter brought over and opened bottled water. Manager was nice enough removed our water from the bill and comped a dessert when we complained about the speedy process. I had fish and my wife a pasta dish both came out in 5 minutes. I can’t believe these meals are cooked to order. The bronzino was tasty but the escarole was undercooked. Pasta with short ribs was ordinary.

    The menu is extensive, likely too extensive as there were multiple misses, and several unavailable items. V&O just needs to decide what their niche is going to be and streamline the menu to focus on what they do well. The service was excellent, our server was aware of the existing issues and did everything to make the visit as pleasant as possible. The volume for a dinner venue is quite high, to the point that it’s difficult to hear what the folks at your table, or the server, are trying to say. They appear intent on having the guests hear the music being played, regardless of the conversational volume in the dining room. It’s a bit much. We may try again in a few months, hopefully things have been ironed out.

    LOVED the food. Service pretty good. Think it needs an instagrammable space to take pics and post / tag. Little loud and would've liked to hear the French music in the bathroom while in the main area more. I had to sing to my friend for her birthday so that was a little strange - brought the candle but I was the only person who sang.

    Scallops were extremely over cooked and risotto flavor was sub par. Prices don’t hold up against taste of the food. Seafood salad was a cold summer special. Great idea, however the flavors were quite bland. Definitely better food elsewhere.
