“My wife and I had our first dinner at Vinted Wine Bar tonight. My wife has had a good amount of experience at Vinted, but it was my first time there. Top to bottom... TRULY EXCELLENT!! We shared a nice bottle of Daou Cab while sitting at the bar, and started with the Whipped Hummus, with Crispy Scallion Cake. Best Hummus you'll ever eat, and the warm crispy thin cake slices are very delicious with the Hummus. Terrific! Then we split and shared 2 entrees: The Chicken Milanese, and the Vinted Prime Burger. Both, also super delicious. Rich, flavorful, perfectly prepared by the talented crew in the kitchen lead by the executive chef, and partner, Mike Voight. Ate every bite of everything. Lastly, for desert we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. Holy cow, that is one incredible desert. Our bartender Chris was very helpful, friendly, and although busy had time to talk with us. And we found all the staff, extremely personable. Mike has a finely tuned ship in Vinted. We'll be back. #impressed“

“We arrived a bit early for our reservation (and before our guest), but the hostess said we could be seated whenever we were ready. The space is relaxed yet well-appointed, and the tables are nicely spaced in the main dining room. Our server was very attentive and friendly. While we sipped wine and perused the menu, we enjoyed some delightful warm hearty bread. My husband and I both had the hanger steak (medium rare) and fries which was was perfectly done in a rich brown sauce that was "lick the plate clean" good! Our guest was very pleased with her swordfish. For dessert, we opted for the chocolate creme brulee which was fabulously delicious and a perfect end to a perfect meal!“

I feel so bad that I don't remember her name, because she had remembered everything from our first conversation when we went back for the second time 9 months later!! We live pretty far away, otherwise would be there so much more often. Ask her opinion for what to get if you aren't sure, she has fantastic recommendations.“

“Went on a Friday night, and the bar area was pretty packed, which was a good sign. Service was a little slow; it seemed like they were short staffed. We waited a few minutes before a hostess showed up to greet us. Once we sat down, it took another 10 minutes or so for a waiter to come to our table. Again, they did seem understaffed, and the place was pretty busy. Food: Cesar salad 7/10 - enough dressing, croutons Cup of New England Clam Chowder 4/10 This was super salty. Smoked honey chipotle wings 10/10 - You could taste the smokiness, The flavor was delicious, and the wings were cooked to perfection Blackened ribeye w/green beans & twice baked potato 8.5/10 - The flavor on the ribeye was amazing! The green beans, although not seasoned, had a smokey flavor, and the twice baked potato was yummy. Steak tips Risotto 9/10 This was absolutely scrumptious! There are plenty of tender steak tips, creamy risotto with lots of flavor. We will definitely be back!“

“Sat at the bar and shared a couple of beers. Our bartender was very attentive, and checked up on us frequently. The bar area was clean and so was the bathroom. We came at an off time so it wasn’t busy. It was nice that day, they had the garage doors open with some tables sitting in that entry way. A bit too chilly for me, but some people were taking advantage of the fresh air. We didn’t have any food.“

“The Fernwood is, on the outside, a very unassuming restaurant. With dark brick, and stained glass windows, it often can be difficult to tell if the restaurant is even open.Once you enter however you are greeted by a classic pub dining room, and a team that seems to all share a sense of ownership of the restaurant. From the friendly greeting and conversation, to the wait staff being constantly cleaning nooks and crannies to make it exceptionally clean throughout, you will feel exceptionally comfortable and welcome.The food is somewhat eclectic, but in the best way. While there typical comfort food dishes, and something everyone will enjoy on the menu, there is an eclectic and interesting selection of more traditional pub foods. The food has been served perfectly cooked and was delicious every time I've been.The dishware is somewhat dated in appearance, but not in quality, condition, and cleanliness, which were all perfect. The dishware actually added to the environment by further contributing to the traditional pub feel.This is not the place to go for new age dishes or molecular gastronomy, but is perfect for a relaxed and extremely filling comfort meal.My biggest regret is the literal years I drove by simply thinking "I really should go there..." without ever stopping in.Parking: Parking is located behind the building.“

“I've been here a couple of times now and both times were great. The service was quick, friendly, and fast. The food came out looking and tatsing delicious. I've only dined outside on their spacious patio because the weather was great. They had the heater blasting which I requested to to be turned down because it was burning my head, other patrons agreed.I started off with a Saturday fun day glass of their Green Mind Avocado Margarita, yes, you read that right; avocado mixed into a margarita, very interesting but it worked. The drink was on the smaller side for $13 and change but it was good and I could taste the slight creaminess of the avocado. They had a good sized cocktail menu and a variety of craft beers.On this most recent visit, I had the Korean BBQ burger. OMG, juicy and flavorful; it had gochujang mayo, kimchi, onion straws, and Korean BBQ sauce. The fries were crunchy and seasoned well. I wished there were more pickled cucumber slices because those were BANGIN'. Overall, a great experience at lunch and can't wait to try out their other burgers.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available“

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for an exceptional individual who has truly revolutionized my trading experience. Mrs. Beth Abrams, a highly skilled and professional broker manager, has surpassed all expectations with her extraordinary abilities. In my quest for a trusted broker assistant or manager, I have scoured the online landscape, but no one comes close to her unmatched expertise. Witnessing my first successful withdrawal of $34,000 in less than a week was a moment of revelation. It became abundantly clear that Mrs. Abrams possesses a level of skill that is unparalleled in the industry. Her astute accuracy and meticulous attention to detail have earned her a remarkable reputation. Rest assured, there is no other trader online who can deliver such consistently sound and accurate results.“

The beef patty, fried chicken, and jerk chicken were all delicious, and we loved our sides of rice & peas, sweet plantains, and steamed cabbage. I really liked the vibe and the staff was nice and attentive. We would definitely come back when we’re craving Jamaican food!“
