   We have been 2x recently and love this restaurant. It opened about 6 months ago. I had the halibut special and it was delicious. Guacamole to start and also I love their roasted carrots and cauliflower small plate. Great place!

   The bourbon burger was awesome. The carmalized onions on top had such a great flavor. The tuna tartare was dark pink and could have tasted better but over all the restaurant was very good.

   The place is beautiful with a cool vibe. The service at the host stand was sub par. The hostess didn’t understand my name as we checked in and when asked if we could sit she said the manager was the one who did that. I made my reservation 2 weeks prior to the date and they wanted to stick us in a private room for 8 people They did seat us in the main dining room finally but we had to deal with the other group who were to sit there. They gave us rude comments when walking by and while we were seated. The service took quite long to get water and drinks. The food came out in a timely manor. The appetizers were very good. The main dishes were not. The chicken lacked flavor and a bit undercooked. The 2 orders of pasta were just not good. The tuna was overcooked and when asked the waiter if this was the way it was suppose to be he said yes. Dessert (cheese cake) was not good . The clincher of the evening was paying the bill. It was split 3 ways and one card was charged 3 times, 1 card charged more then it was suppose to and it took almost 20 minutes for them to figure out what to do. Over all this was extremely disappointing from the moment we walked in until we left. Service confused, manager not attentive seemed overwhelmed and food needs help.

   Overall, for a Saturday night, it was a nice place to go. We were seated on time at 7:30 even though the restaurant was crowded. Perhaps not the best table, but as we walked out it seemed to music was quite loud so probably for the best. Drinks were very good. In some restaurants I question whether they really put alcohol in the drink, but there was no question here that they did. One app had to be sent back, the octopus was so chewy he could barely swallow. 2 of us had the rainbow carrots and cauliflower with ricotta, and it was easily shareable so I shared with the person who had the octopus sent back. The branzino main was excellent. Pork chop also very good and properly brined, which you can tell some restaurants don’t do. Skirt steak was fine, no problem subbing broccolini for truffle fries. The pea and mushroom risotto was so garlicky the person couldn’t eat it. Both dishes were removed from the bill without being requested to do so. Service was spotty, but again a busy Saturday night.

   My food arrived cold and by the time the waitress came back to me. It was too late for me to even want to ask to get it warmed up.

   Tonight’s experience was terrible. I was here two weeks ago on a Saturday night and it was packed, food was great, service was great. Tonight was the exact opposite: no one was there. It’s a Thursday night. We got there for happy hour and we’re informed that happy hour is no longer happening during the “holidays“. By the way, it’s only November 14 so I don’t know which holiday they’re referring to, but it’s not yet the “holidays“. So I checked their website and showed them that on their website the happy hour pricing page: 2 for one or you can use the other one at another time. They refused to give it. Even though I’m showing them on their website it still exists. That is legally false advertising. Plain and simple. The bartender explained that they’re so busy they don’t need the happy hour, while the manager later explained that they’re not busy enough even despite having a happy hour. So it’s all lie and I think no one is there because it all fell apart. Also, my skirt steak sucked. Our waiter was the best thing that happened. Thanks for the carrot and cauliflower free appetizer, sir. I hope that the waiter can get a better gig somewhere else because I don’t know what happened to Oak & Vine… I’m not coming back.

   Over all food was not good, bad presentations, quality of steak not good, food cold, burger only enjoyable dish but roll was hard. Only two tables all night in restaurant and our entrees came out in three separate deliveries to the table. Wow. Our guest said oh well will take this off the list of places to go.

    Iue experience was unacceptable. First the noise level was very high. Needs to be addressed. The food was very slow coming out. I think they were understaffed. The salmon was just acceptable. Pork chop was good. The wine pour was average. Cheap way to make money. The worse part was when we tried to retrieve our car. They didn't have enough staff to handle the exit procedure. People had to get their own car if they could find it. Another indication that management is cutting corners. We will not be back.
