We came for my birthday and I was so disappointed. We waited about 6-8 minutes for a waiter to greet our table. The restaurant was very quiet.The onion soup broth was very tasty, but there were not many onions & the crock was not even half full. There was no 'topper' on the soup. My chicken marsala had a faint whisper of marsala, but the thigh had gristle. I didn't care for the stringy arugula in the orzo, but it was quite tasty. I just thought that since the place was not busy that the service would be better. I feel the food was overpriced & didn't correlate to quality that you would expect for the money.

What a wonderful dinner and such a calm, inviting energy to be surrounded by with great company. From the moment we sat down, everything about the experience was wonderful . Between the four of us, we tried a wide variety of dishes, and every single one was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Each plate that came out somehow topped the last thoughtful flavors, perfect portions, and clear attention to detail. You can truly taste the care and talent behind the food.
The service was just as impressive, warm, attentive, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed. A big thank you to our server, Matt, who was fantastic and made the entire evening even more enjoyable. And compliments to Chef Savon clearly he knows exactly what he’s doing. The creativity, quality, and execution across everything we tried were outstanding.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing food, great atmosphere, and an all-around wonderful dining experience. We’ll absolutely be back!

I had a reservation at VINCA Arista for Valentines 2026 that went horrendously. Even though it was a set menu, it took two hours for our entrees to arrive, with slow service for our apps, salads, and drinks before then as well.
For the price, I was quite disappointed in the service, and while the food was decent, it didn’t make up for what equated to a one star experience.

I was surprised at the many steak offerings (wagu and otherwise). There isn't a steakhouse vibe, but it's as good as any locally. Schnitzel, which was the first we had since a local German restaurant closed after covid. I kinda expected more exotic European dishes, but, if they keep doing what they do best. Fantastic chocolate mouse, too!

Good vibes, good food, a little overpriced and slow service. Worth noting is that our table did order the last of an appetizer and dessert and our reservation was at 6.

Went here for the Valentines set menu and was very disappointed. Awful service and very average food for the price. I don’t know that I’ve ever waited so long for my food at a restaurant before.

Went for valentines date with my wife, reviews online were decent and seemed like a nice place to take the wife, service was slow and they kept serving people that came in after us before us, they brought our dessert after the salad, then we waited forever for the main course, carrots were cold, potatoes were luke warm, broccoli was undercooked, sea bass was really crispy, steak was good, then we watched them bring dessert to people that showed up 30 mins after us while passing us up, we politely complained and then watched it happen two more times and complained again , and then we were offered our dessert to go, took over two hours really slow and ineffective service, hopefully they do better on a regular night but for the cash we dropped that sucked and my wife was disappointed and pissed off and that ruined the night....BTW we don't have a ton of cash so this was supposed to be a special treat for my wife but was a huge disappointment...

The French onion was good, but a little small for $17.
The duck was a bit undercooked and was also a pretty small portion. The vegetables were slightly undercooked as well. Arugula was bitter and didn't really go with the orzo. Left hungry and disappointed.
Very pleasant atmosphere, fantastic food, and wonderfully attentive friendly service. My wife and I had the sea bass branzino and the duck. This is my second time and will be back again.

Went here for New Years Eve dinner. They offered a limited menu, but it was very, very good. Food was fabulous. My husband and I decided on the Branzino. The Branzino was cooked to perfection not fishy tasting and not too dry. This dish came with vegetables of cauliflower, and we opted for a side of Risotto that was wonderful. Our complements to the chef and the team for such an awesome dinner. This team really knows how to cook. The wine selection was also very good. I would recommend this restaurant. I surely would be back. Atmosphere was very elegant, cozy and relaxing.

My husband's serving of orzo with our two orders of pan-seared duck was vastly different from mine. He got a larger serving of orzo and more greens mixed in. The duck was rather dry as well. I just really expected better. I didn't enjoy this food at all. So disappointing for our only night out in the last year. The charcuterie plate was the only half acceptable part of the evening. When my meal was delivered, the server said they would deliver my glass of wine and it never arrived. She stood at the bar oblivious. It was just not worth going out to this place at all. It was really sad and disappointing.

ABSOLUTELY loved our experience there. We found this as we walked around the area and this was a wonderful place and experience. The waitress was top notch with her service and suggestions. We walked out of Hickory and Ash due to horrible customer service and went here. The universe was telling us that we needed to come to VINCA to have a great night. The duck was perfect and her drink suggestions were completely on point. I would recommend VINCA to anyone.

From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, the food was fresh and full of flavor, and their wine selection truly impressed me! It’s the kind of place you can sit back, unwind, and enjoy great company and great food. Highly recommend!
