Wood smoke, lantern light, a table for two hours or all night.

Char-grilled lemongrass, whole roasted fish, natural wine, and a patio strung with paper lanterns. No rush — we set the table and let the night run long.

Locally owned

A neighborhood kitchen, run like a family table

Lantern & Vine started as a single wood grill and a folding table on the sidewalk. Now the fire's bigger, the patio's strung with lanterns end to end, and the recipes still come from the same kitchen — Vietnamese flavors, French technique, nothing fussy about it.

We cook à la minute and pour wine we'd actually order ourselves. Come for a quick bowl at the bar, or settle in on the patio for the whole night.
