Excellent food. I'm not sure if they we short staffed or something, but after ordering an app for the table we didn't see our waitress for 50 minutes. We ordered dinner and things got better after that. The food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely go back!

Craft cocktails. Knowledgeable bartenders. Tons of wine on tap. Who needs more? Oh and their food is fantastic. Never had a bad dish and have been numerous times!

One of my favorite restaurants for the food and the vibe. Additionally, I love how the staff are so cohesive. It makes for a great experience.

I’m not one to really write reviews but I was pretty disappointed in my time here. I paid extra for asparagus and still got fries as my side with my burger. I didn’t realize until I was gone though cause I took my meal to go. The fries that did come were inedible. I found maybe two solid fries out of the whole bunch. I also woke up throwing up which I’m sure had to do with the food because my vomit smelled like fermented beef. Not sure if I will be returning. The main reason I go to restaurants is for good food and I didn’t enjoy it and I’m not even a picky eater. I almost thought I got food poisoning that’s how bad I felt once the food settled in my stomach.

Food staff here know what they’re doing. Food comes out promptly after ordering. I had the truffle mac and cheese with short rib. Its savory and cheesy and elegant. Then I had the bacon jam waffle sundae. Absolutely great. Smoky bacon and waffles from a well seasoned iron. Great job !
Bar tenders are awesome! Expensive, but you get what you pay for here. The food and drinks are delicious.

Vinted is a mixed bag.
Best to avoid.
We came here for a pre-Mother's Day dinner, a party of 4.
The inside is small, but lovely, with some fairly well-chosen music, but the level of noise that's well above the average, and you have to strain to hear your neighbor.
Speaking of noise, by a most wonderful chance, a couple next to us had a small (few months old) baby, who was just amazingly quiet. (never happened to me before, and I'd be amiss if I didn't mention that wonderful little girl).
While the food was decent (a true standout was the beef tartar), service was less than so.
Waitress never once refilled our water, nor did she bother to glance at our table while collecting the check from the next table over.
After one of our party placed the order for the entire table, I actually had to call her (the server) back, as she was walking away, just to give her my drink order.
Speaking of drinks, she came back to tell me that the bourbon I had previously ordered, Elijah Craig Small Batch, the bar ran out of.
Not wanting to go again through the entire 131-long list of whiskeys (which is fairly impressive in its own right), I walked over to the bar, accompanied by the waitress (being on my best polite behavior), only to see the bartender with a half-full bottle of Elijah Craig.
Lo and behold, he tells me that, no, they're NOT out of that bourbon, but are out of completely different liquor.
K.
No biggie.
Let's let this one go.
After the appetizers, there was some 30 minute wait for the entrees.
I asked the waitress at the 20-minute mark, but she simply told me "food is on its way".
After another 10 minutes, I went to quietly ask the manager, who was dismissive, telling me that the half-full restaurant was busy.
(FWIW, I have some 15 years of experience in Boston restaurants, everything from working the line to running the front).
Onto the food.
While the apps were decent, the mains, namely, Korean marinated flank steak, was only OK.
Done to slightly above mid-rare (yes, even the marinated steak can be properly done), it rested above the bed of of plain rice and handful of kimchi, without even a hint of any sauce.
For a $38 dish, one would expect some effort from a saucier, but, if there is one, he (or she) is probably lazy, like some other staff.
Bottom line, for my money, I'll go anywhere else next time.
And you should, too.

What a lovely place! We came here as a party of 2 on a Friday night and it was packed - good thing we had a reservation!
We came here after dinner for drinks so this review is just for their drinks. We came here because we were interested in their large wine selection! We loved that the menu allowed for smaller servings because this way we got to try more wine. Our server was great and knowledgeable about the wines. We had such a great experience.
I definitely want to return to try more of their wines and the food!

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

My wife and I visited for the 1st time as part of our anniversary celebration this weekend. Definitely won’t be our last time. We enjoyed two excellent drinks (espresso martini and a cocktail called Amelia that had a nice refreshing balance of sour and not too sweet). Thanks to our server, Jose, who recommended the drinks based on the tastes we described looking for. Jose also recommended the pork belly taco appetizer and it was a 10/10! Great food. Great service. Great vibe. The restaurant is small and reservations are encouraged during peak dinner hours on Friday and Saturday. We came around lunch time on Saturday and I’d estimate it was about 40% full so I can imagine it being packed later on.
