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.

    We went for a special for a 4 course dinner to raise money for Slow food East End. The food was above and beyond delicious sourcing all local farmers and fisherman. Everything was outstanding!  everything at Noah’s is a tribute to the area that we live in, and to the slow food, philosophy of good clean and fair food for all

    Clam chowder was great. Lobster pot pie (3 received) had a hard (what they called puff pastry) on top but it was as bad as Hartack! Beware of the parking out front. Our hosts told us the $5 parking fee was free if you eat there. Not true as we found out we each got an $88 ticket. If you don't have a phone you won't be able to pay the fee because there's only a QR Code to send you to their parking app. BTW, I spoke with Claudio's manager and he said they would have given us 50% off the parking fee if we had asked (how about a warning to be sure to pay for parking because it's highway robbery in fines!) Kind of leaves a sour taste in our mouths and not from the food!
