    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!

    Small quaint restaurant though you would not think a restaurant would be located in a residential area but it would be great place for a date night. Atmosphere is intimate complete with candles and dimly lite dining room. Have heard that the outside area is beautiful in the spring and summer however, in upstate NY in November we settled for coming back next year to experience the outdoor space. The food was excellent and the service was great. The French Onion soup was to die for and was as good as the soup I spend hours making. Portion sizes were large. I am glad I ordered a side salad as that was enough for me though had I known how good the soup was I probably would have ordered two bowls and no salad. My dining partner ordered a Hamburger which looked amazing. Hamburger was flavored and cooked to order however burger was a little overcooked but flavor made up for it Would highly recommend this restaurant and we are looking forward to returning. Menu changes frequently so be sure to check their website for their current menu. Additionally, they offer daily specials

    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.

    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.

My partner and I chose to split the herb fries, burnt end chicharrones, and the brussels. I thought the herb fries were delightfully crisp with great flavor. The sweet & spicy smokey sauce that was provided with it was a bit tangy. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me! You'll definitely have to taste it for yourself. The burnt end chicharrones left more to be desired. Both my partner and I thought they were dry and not tender. Also, there was something about the flavor that we did not care for. I absolutely love burnt ends from BBQ joints, and this was the first time we've ordered chicharrones so I don't have something to compare them to, but I'd suggest trying them elsewhere. As for the brussels, when we first got to the restaurant our friends were sharing them. We tried one bite and knew we had order a whole plate for ourselves! They were literally the best brussel sprouts we've ever had. The roasted garlic aioli and grana cheese were topped on perfectly cooked brussels which I would go back for. I highly suggest checking out The Evergreen, go through their beer menu, and find a new favorite plate.

Their flavor notes to describe their drinks were very helpful to figure out what you'd like and our server was very helpful with making sure we got what we wanted! Our food was amazing and the price for everything was relatively fair and I think affordable for two people to get the full experience! I left extremely happy and definitely coming back for another date night! As we wanted to be away from crowds, at the time it wasn't too busy, but I felt like even if it was, it still wouldn't have hindered the experience, and my boyfriend attested to this as well for all those shy folk!

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.

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!
