About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    I enjoyed myself quite a bit. And the sister restaurant, Cove Hollow Tavern, is great as well!

    Starters ok a little too saucy, then we ordered fried chicken. Thinking good pieces of fried chicken. What came was a piece of breast like Milanese, pounded flat, I think fried but with so much sauce couldn't taste it. Really disappointing, we live close but will pass this restaurant for along time. And service was nothing more than average at best.

    This restaurants consistency is unsurpassed. Food delicious plus great vibe and good pricing. Something that is hard to find in this community. The service was so friendly and attentive and for the value it’s one of the best restaurants of its kind. The menu is really diverse and interesting and their specials weekly are just amazing. Dining room ambience cozy and airy.

    Excellent food. Excellent service. Lots of local regulars who seemed to be repeat customers and loved the place. Super cool location. Tucked away in the middle of the island. Very unique experience for Long Island. Highly recommend.
