First time at the restaurant. Service was great, food was very good except the flank steak (good cut of meat, cooked nicely, just kind of flavorless). The avocado shrimp bake was really good. Highly recommend. Feel overall it was a little pricey for the amount of food received but what isn’t these days? We would go back.

We had an overall great experience at Vine and Plate tonight. The menu consists of items that you will not find in most restaurants in the area. Our server was fantastic and we were fortunate enough to meet the owner. A true gem in Crystal Lake!!

We had a wonderful evening! The food was fantastic (it always is) and the service was wonderful. Our waitress kept apologizing for the restaurant being understaffed, but we truly didn't notice anything. Thank you for a great dinner!

Food is always outstanding. Music was great. Service was a little off because they were shortstaffed, but it’s always a great experience and we will be back.
