About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

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.

Our bartender Jake provided excellent service while simultaneously making drinks for everyone else in the restaurant. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating, and the kitchen’s talent is impeccable. It’s always a wonderful evening at Vine Street Cafe.

I always enjoy Vine Street because of the special atmosphere, typically professional service, and good food. As usual, I had a delicious meal last night (calamari salad and mussels...even the margarita was good), though my husband's (and friend's) pricey veal chop were too tough to chew. he should have mentioned something to the waiter when first trying it, but was too nice to complain. (In fact, he left some of the unchewable pieces on a side plate and the person clearing the table asked if he wanted to take it home. No!) Then a bottle of sparkling water was dropped on the floor right behind my chair and my coat on the back of my chair and feet got very wet. Though the floor was mopped immediately and napkins were given to me to dry off, my friend had to suggest that the remaining water be wiped up. When I saw my husband and friend hadn't eaten most of the veal chops, I mentioned something to the original waiter when he returned with the check; he was accommodating by taking off something for the poor quality, which was thoughtful. I'll be back at Vine Street, for sure, but won't be ordering meat.

We decided to try Vine Street Cafe for Easter Brunch. We usually go for dinner, but thought this would be a change of pace. It was a very nice Brunch. The food was fantastic as always.

Fabulous evening. Attentive service, great food & cozy ambience. The only complaint was that the heat was on too high ! ( we were sitting by the wall and the baseboard heat was intense).
