Oak and Vine in Glen Cove, NY, offers an exceptional dining experience that combines fantastic food, excellent service, and an inviting atmosphere. I’ve been wanting to visit since it opened, and I finally had the chance during my recent trip to Long Island.
I arrived with a large group of eight, and we were seated together by the piano, which provided a lovely ambiance. My guests enjoyed sampling the wine at the bar before I arrived.
To start, we ordered appetizers: Crispy Calamari and Quinoa & Beets. The calamari was well-fried and plentiful, making it a hit at our table. The Quinoa and Beets complemented each other beautifully, and the presentation was pleasing to the eye.
The entrees were outstanding. We enjoyed Bucatini Bolognese (ground beef, marinara, fresh ricotta, and focaccia bread crumbs), Rigatoni (lobster meat, Calabrian chili pepper, and light tomato cream sauce), Filet Mignon (roasted asparagus, buttermilk mashed potatoes, and au poivre sauce), and New York Strip (shallot-roasted fingerling potatoes, rainbow carrots and cauliflower, and red wine sauce).
The Bucatini Bolognese was rich in flavor, and the portion size was more than enough. The meat was well-seasoned, and I would definitely order this again. The Rigatoni stood out to me as well, as the cream sauce was delectable, and the lobster was cooked to perfection. I devoured it quickly because it was that good. The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor, as did the New York Strip. You can tell the steak is high quality, as they cook it to your preference.
Whether you’re in the mood for a juicy steak or a creative vegetarian dish, Oak and Vine delivers both with finesse and flair.
The service is equally impressive. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring that every guest feels welcome and valued. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm smile and enjoy a seamless dining experience. Our server was exceptional, and I felt compelled to let the manager know how well she handled a busy Saturday night while training another employee.
As for the decor, Oak and Vine strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and cozy comfort. The stylish interior features sleek wood accents, ambient lighting, and elegant touches that create a relaxed yet upscale vibe. It’s the ideal setting for everything from a romantic dinner to a celebratory gathering with friends and family.
Overall, Oak and Vine provides an unforgettable dining experience that excels in every aspect. If you’re in the Glen Cove area, it’s a must-visit destination that will surely leave you wanting to come...
