    Food was excellent. Really delicious. Took a while to get drinks. Felt a little ignored. Food service was better. Server was very nice, just slow.

    Calamari appetizer was a little chewy, taste was good, just chewy. Both had steaks, which were very good. Service was extremely fast, like they needed the table, which they didn't. Was not overly busy.

    We all ordered burgers. 2 people were gluten free and were not supposed to have buns and one of them received a bun. Same person is also dairy free and his came with cheese even though he asked for it without. Another burger was supposed to be medium rare and came out medium. So not the best experience

    We arrived at Vine & Oak a few minutes ahead of our reservation time. Checked in and were asked to stand by for a few minutes while our table was set. We had requested Martin, a member of the restaurant staff whom we knew and were told it had been arranged. Our whole dining experience was a positive one. Martin was great (we've eaten at the restaurant several time before, and the service has always been terrific). He helped us select a wine to have with our meal, checked on us during dinner to make sure we had everything we needed. We mentioned to him that we were celebrating our birthdays. When it came time for dessert, Martin made sure that each of us had our choices served with lighted candles and "Happy Birthday" written around the edges of the plates. The atmosphere was festive. Everyone at the restaurant was pleasant and attentive. We're looking forward to our next visit to Vine & Oak.
