School and Vine Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Town of Onondaga

This is a really cool, cozy place.

The food was very good. I got the Bleu burger. It came out relatively quickly and was fresh and good quality ingredients. The beef was fresh and everything was prepared meticulously. The fries were incredible. All very top notch. Prices were appropriate for the quality of the setting and the food. I had a martini and it was equally top notch.

The setting is a renovated old school. Very hip and the interior is done beautifully. Warm, casual, and vibrant with a high end country pub kind of vibe. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained.

I met a couple friends for dinner here. I was late getting there so they ordered thier dinners before I got there. When I got there it took forever for anyone to acknowledge me and take my drink or dinner order. A couple times we actually tried to catch the attention of our server. Both times she walked right by not even saying anything and she clearly saw us and heard us. My friends were almost done with thier meal before I could order. That was a little weird and the only reason I'm taking off one star. Maybe they didn't anticipate the business and ended up a little short staffed, but the staff ignoring me didn't seem like a good work around.

I'll certainly go again and I recommend it as the food and setting are a great quality experience and better than many...

We took a chance not having reservations on a 90 degree Saturday early evening. The hostess Gabby greeted us so kindly and offered two different options. We decided to remain inside and dine at the bar. Although the entire restaurant was busy as well as Jared our bartender/server everyone on their team appeared poised and happy taking care of quests. This restaurant has a historical ambience and upscale feel while not being pretentious. We order some Italian wine while others enjoyed speciality cocktails and Sangria. The menu offers Italian dishes, steaks, fish and unique chef born expression. We enjoyed the Ahi Tuna Salad complete w/cashews and a delicious balsamic. Our entrees included Lemon Grilled Salmon with shaved brussel sprouts and Stuffed rigatoni in vodka sauce. Ever aspect of these dishes were beyond our culinary expectations. Also as the owner Mr. Yost can be seen bar backing, restocking, running food, while being so kind to clients and his superb team. The School and Vine is a must experience. Be sure to make a reservation to ensure a seat because once you go you will be taking friends. Thank you for a spectacular Saturday...Jared, Gabby, Mr. Yost, the Chef and all the School and Vine...

I have passed this place dozens of times after picking up honey from my honey guy. I want even sure what this was. I thought it was like a culinary school or some program. Thanks to reddit and my craving of burgers 🍔 someone mentioned this place and the jam burger, and so many people upvoted that. We made a date night to come here. The place is hidden a bit and a bit further from any kind of businesses. It's literally behind some trees and shrubs. The atmosphere is great inside, a bit industrial, which I like. We made a reservation, I feel like that was the way to do it. We came after they opened and it didn't look busy, but everything was reserved and people flooded in shortly. We got chicken lemongrass dumplings and duck bacon wontons. They were very flavorful. I inhaled them before I snapped photos. I was really hungry. Then I tried the Brie & bacon jam burger. Thank you reddit, it was so juicy 🤤 the meat was perfect and the bacon jam gave it a nice shot of flavor. Oh, and it was Thursday so margaritas are $7. The staff is nice and attentive, but not annoyingly when you just took a bite of something. I really enjoyed this place and I'll be back...
