The food was so delicious! Hands down best food I'd eaten in a while! The service was unique... Our server was pulled away multiple times to respond to the kitchen. We couldn't figure out if the server wasn't properly trained or the system wasn't the best, but he was very nice and the food was amazing!

Great spot with art work and patio seating. Food and service was great. Good cocktails and entree choices. A neat little gem, will be back when in the area.

Absolutely love this place. Very classy, staff is amazing and their food is delicious. The date night pasta is flavorful, their lamb falls off the bone and I have not had anything bad there ever. Well worth the trip.

I'm writing to express my extreme disappointment with my recent experience at Vino on June 10th 2024 for my birthday dinner. We arrived just 3 minutes after our reservation time, but unfortunately, we had to wait to be seated.
Once seated, we placed our drink orders and an appetizer promptly. However, after waiting 30 minutes, we still hadn't received our drinks. An hour after being seated, our waiter finally came to take our dinner order, but concerningly, he made no eye contact with any of us during the process. Unfortunately, our appetizer also hadn't arrived yet.
Throughout this time, we noticed the waiter attentively serving 3 other tables around us, refilling their water, delivering food and drinks, while completely bypassing our table. We observed him walk past us at least 5-6 times, with a water pitcher even though our glasses were empty.
After waiting an additional hour for our food, with no improvement in service, and the time nearing 8:30 pm, we were incredibly hungry and frustrated. Regretfully, we decided to leave the restaurant. We left money to cover the drinks (which we did receive after a long wait) but not the appetizer we never got.
When we informed the waiter of our decision to leave, he finally acknowledged the issue. Disappointingly, he admitted that he completely forgot about our appetizer and never even placed the order with the kitchen.
This experience was incredibly disappointing, especially since I was looking forward to celebrating my birthday at Vino. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter to ensure such a lapse in service doesn't happen to other guests.

My wife and I took a much needed break from packing up her and her son’s house to move them out West (Utah & Colorado respectively), and WOW! What a delicious, enjoyable dinner ? We shared the 3 dip plate with pita chips and all three dips and the chips were delicious. We also shared the Salmon Kabob and Kale salad which both landed perfectly as well. A bit odd, but we finished off our dinner with calamari for desert, which was as good as the reviews, tender, not too chewy and the light breading was delicious! We sat outside as it was a super pleasant night for June. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

My family had early dinner around 4 PM here on 5/25/24. We shared scallops and it was taste funny. I told my server it has funny taste at the end but paid in full bcs it was shared by whole family and more than half was consumed. (3scallops shared by 5people. There were other foods of course). Later that day, I started vomit and had suffered diarrhea throughout the weekend. My family who shared that plate also suffered by food poisoning. It was my 3rd visit and previous visits were satisfied. If anyone had same experience, please leave comments.

Three couples ( Seniors) and our first visit to Vino. I'll share the good and the bad. Good : our waiter was excellent - friendly and attentive. We loved the hostess- she was "in charge ".Food : I had the yellowfin tuna served "barely cooked" was fantastic and I did not share. Everyone loved their meals and the appies. The Bad : We dined outside and it got a little "buggy" and "sticky". Place could use a fan or two.
Parking: We all took Uber so parking was not a problem - neither was drinking !

Food and service for our Valentine's Day dinner was average; we showed up to our reservation early and took an hour to eat dinner. The lights were turned on on us while we were signing the check, and the food was far from spectacular. This last part is not a big deal, but all the same, the server said they were out of roses for the ladies. The bartender went and grabbed one when he saw my partner did not get one on our way out.
Everything I ordered just didn't hit the mark. The grilled oysters were overwhelmed by too much salty cheese, the fish lacked flavor, the veggies turned out soggy, and the tiramisu was overly sweet. It was also pretty noisy, not the best spot for a chat. On the bright side, our server was amazing!

The good:Great attentive serviceNice drinksMerry Monday (reduced price drinks and apps)The salmon kebabsThe bang bang cauliflower (the best bite of the evening)The underwhelming:The spinach artichoke dip and hummus (bland, the one I make at home is much tastier)The Stuffed artichoke pasta - the artichokes were not cleaned properly and I had to spit our the tough bits. It was supposed to come with feta and sun dried tomatoes- it had a pea sized amount of each “stuffed” into each artichoke. The menu did not say what else came with the pasta so I was baffled when it was a mix of carrots, green beans, Brussel sprouts and potatoes mixed into the linguini that was totally dry and over cooked… for a Mediterranean restaurant, I had higher expectations for a pasta dish..
