    I love this spot. If you're in the area I recommend coming here for dinner if you can get a reservation. I came here for a family birthday and loved it. I can't wait to stop back in. This spot is very quaint and cozy. When you're here, you feel as though you're in someone's house. I love their drinks, burgers, fries, and appetizers. Our server was very friendly and attentive, even though we were here on a weekend evening and it was quite busy. I can't wait to stop by again for dinner.

    What a nice date night venue! Full bar and delicious food; what more can you ask for? When there is calamari on the menu, 90% of the time we will order it. The calamari was soft and tasty, not the frozen, chewy type that some restaurants serve. The main courses had a variety of options that can fit anyone's taste. The wine and beer selection is on point! I definitely recommend School and Vine.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my first dining experience here! I came based off of a friend's recommendation and it lived up to the hype. My entree of calamari pasta fra diavolo was delicious - the sauce was the highlight of the dish! So bright & flavorful! But the star of the night was hands down the ahi tuna appetizer. If you go you have to order this! Pair it with one of their delicious cocktails too.

    I will start this as I always do by saying that I don't give out five stars unless I am really blown away. This is one of the few times I give that five stars. I live this place. It's small but has a great feel. The staff is super friendly and they do a great job making sure we were taken care of. Had a manhattan which I hardly ever have because most of the time I am disappointed. This time I was not disappointed it was one of the best I have had in a long time. The apps were awesome the bacon and duck wontons were off the hook. I could have eaten 10 of them. The house made kettle chips were just perfect. I am going to try and make my own as they were that good. I ordered the Steak Frittes the garlic fries were money and the steak was medium rare as I asked for. I feel like that never happens. Most steaks are over cooked but not here. They nailed it. Everyone loved their food and would go back tomorrow if we could. The price is high but when it's worth it I don't mind paying. If you have never been please go for a nice date out. This place will impress. Don't be in a rush as this is a nice place that you don't need to be in a hurry. Make a reservation as it's not easy to get in. Worth it!

    Love, love, love the atmosphere of this place, as it is nestled in a small little corner of a neighborhood. A small, rustic building surrounded by vines and trees - the environment is truly an escape, and is my favorite part about School & Vine. The food and drinks are just okay, (aside from the fries which were pretty good). I got a Bacon and Brie burger which was good, but if I am paying over $15 for a burger, I like for the flavors (i.e. the brie and bacon) to really shine, and for me they didnt - it kind of tasted like a regular burger. Everyone else at my table got burgers and they seemed to agree - just okay. I also got the blueberry lemonade martini which kind of fell in the same line - just alright. I do not think I would return unless I was truly looking for that "escape the area" vibe because you truly do not feel like you're anywhere near Syracuse when you are here. If that's what your are yearning for - definitely give this place a try , and maybe something other than burgers are their thing!

    I have never had a bad meal here. The food is fantastic. The service is great. I love the atmosphere and I love the history behind this restaurant. There's outdoor seating in the warmer months as well.

    This place is such a cute little date night spot. We ate inside but they do have a little back patio with fire pit that looked nice as well. We had never been here before so we wanted to try a lot. We got the kettle chips and shrimp for appetizers which were both amazing. I got the shrimp scampi with a Caesar salad and the shrimp were huge and it was amazing. My husband got the steak frites with garlic fries and they were the best fries I have ever eaten. The wine we got was a recommendation from our waitress and she was spot on. She was so sweet and very attentive. I think her name was Nicole but I am not 100% sure. If I had to say one bad thing I would say the tiramisu I got to bring home was not my favorite but I am super picky about my tiramisu so I am sure most people would consider it to be great. If you are sick of the same restaurants in Syracuse I highly recommend the drive to Janesville to try this hidden gem.

    Beer: there were a lot of sour beers and hazy IPAs but only 3 other beers (including 1 cider)…read morebesides those. However, the lager had great flavor! Food: mediocre. The "Burger of the Three Rings" was perfectly cooked temp wise (ordered medium) but the onion rings on top were the standard variety that were greasy and made the whole thing subpar. I opted for a $2 upgrade for sweet potato fries and they had cinnamon/sugar on top (unnecessary in my opinion as a side for a burger). They had standard pub fare that focused on either wraps, 3 burgers, 3 flatbreads, or fried food...not bad; just lacking options with any sort of complexity. I went around noon on a sat, and the server (Erin) was very friendly and attentive. I will go again next time I am in this area to hopefully up my opinion.

However, the bacon and the burger was not cooked nearly enough. The french fries were crispy and delicious. I got a grilled chicken Caesar salad wrap and sweet potato fries and I thought both were very good. The ambience is not what we expected based on how we had heard it advertised: we thought it would be much more sports bar vibes and instead it just feels like an Applebee's with less TVs not really hitting the sports bar Mark. They also was not as large of an alcoholic selection as far as beers insiders would go as we expected, which was unfortunate. The service was fast and polite no issues there. Overall, I would say everything was good considering it's a mall based restaurant.

    It's so nice to go to a bar where they love on vegetarians as much a meat eaters, and it makes it…read moreeasy to find something satisfying to go with your beer here. For drinks they have a good selection of beers on tap, usually 10-20, from local and national breweries. The server offered me a sample before I fully committed on a beer I had a question about and I appreciated being able to try it before committing to a full glass. The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed. My group opted to share the beer fries and they were taaaasty, pillowy soft, crunchy, and amazingly well seasoned. The vegetarian options are a regular part of the restaurant and the fried tofu I had was genuinely satisfying and well done. My cajun pasta was maybe a touch over but I was okay with it since it had my condiment obsession of chili crisp in it. The menu is well marked for dietary needs. A great thing of note is that they have women's, men's, AND an all-gender bathroom. I appreciate the inclusion in the food and restaurant itself. Car parking is street parking, it's accessible via the Centro bus system, and there is an artistic broken-chain shaoed bike rack just across the street from the restaurant. My group was happy with the prices and service for an early Wednesday dinner in a wintry March.

    The website was very enticing, but I didn't have a good experience. The list of craft beers is (1)…read moreon a chalkboard, with no descriptions, and the brewery names all abbreviated, which they apparently expect you to understand; or (2) on a screen that switches very slowly from one page to the next, across four pages. It takes forever to read through the list. The bartender pushed me to choose from her recommendations instead of reading through the menu. The whole thing seems set up for people who don't know much about beer and just want to try something at random. On top of that, the music was too loud and I left with a headache.

    This is a great place to go to on St. Patrick's Day parade day morning in Utica. Service is great…read morethat day, the bartenders are attentive and friendly (especially if Linda is there). Any other time, if you are not a regular, this place might not be for you. I've been here several times with mixed experiences. The last time I was there was a Thursday in the summer of 2024. My husband, brother and I were excited to find seats at the bar and order dinner. The bartender was a short blonde woman and there was a male bar back. The bartender did not acknowledge us for over 15 minutes. We were actively looking at the menu on our phones and talking about what we wanted to try and attempted to make eye contact with her as she walked by us with no luck. She didn't even say "I will be right with you", literally no interaction. She was very friendly with everyone else around us seeming to know exactly what they were drinking and happy to get it for them. We left as we felt very unwelcome there and ended up having excellent service down the street at Lukin's.

We found this little gem and holy toledo did we we strike gold. First of all, the hostess was super nice and greeted us right away even though she was clearly busy and hustling. We chose to sit outside at a picnic table to soak up the beautiful weather. The outside is fun with brightly painted picnic tables and murals on the building. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and offered great suggestions. She was great and we really enjoyed interacting with her. We started with rum punches which were made with freshly squeezed juice and they were out of this world. We shared the "everything" wings which were crispy and that sauce was delicious. We were tempted to lick the sauce off the plate. We refrained so we didn't get strange looks. I had the Kimchi Reuben which is made with house made kimchi I might add. My husband got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. We both opted for Poutine Fries for our sides. Guys, this food was unique and spectacular. I'm just bummed it's 3 hours from home! But I'll definitely make an effort to be back.
