{joomplu:1565}Fork & Vine, formerly known as On 3, is a sophisticated and intimate new restaurant with a definite Manhattan vibe. Located directly across from the Long Island Rail Road station in Glen Head, it also offers drivers easy access from Northern Boulevard and Glen Cove Road.

Walking into the restaurant, we found a subtly lit venue with a bar and live jazz group. The owner/host/chef, Stuart Brown, greeted us and showed us to our table. Fork & Vine is a comfortable neighborhood eatery with an extensive menu of American cuisine created by Brown, as well as an interesting wine list. Since F&V is noted for its small plate creations and tapas, Stuart suggested we try a number of assorted appetizers beginning with a roasted beet and arugula salad made with candied walnuts and shaved endive, warm goat cheese and hazelnut vinaigrette. Next came a small plate of prosciutto-wrapped sea scallops with shaved fennel in a Pernod sauce. The scallops, when combined with the slightly salty taste of the prosciutto, were delightful. We then tried a spicy tuna tartare and beef spring rolls. All in all it was a great introduction to F&V's eclectic approach to fine dining.

Our main course gave us an opportunity to sample some seafood specialties. A rare, seared yellowfin tuna was made with wasabi scallion, mashed potatoes, tempura vegetables and pickled ginger with a wasabi drizzle. Each perfectly sliced piece of tuna was artistically arranged around the mashed potatoes and vegetables. We also enjoyed the porcini-dusted halibut broccolini and scarlet runner beans with Chardonnay truffle butter. Both were beautifully plated and delicious.

After a brief respite, we sampled two outstanding desserts – a chocolate coconut flan and green apple dessert made with ice cream and a warm strudel under each scoop. Amazing!  Cappuccino and teas with a special plate of homemade cookies finished our delightful meal. We then sat and relaxed, enjoying the ambiance and the smooth summer jazz in this delightful venue.
