The Vineyard Wine Company

Loved it. Great food. Really great service. An amazing live performer. If he had turned his speaker down like 1 notch , we could have talked more easily to each other but he was so good we didn't say anything :)

Lunch today (my first visit) was at The Vineyard Wine Company and served by the absolute sweetheart that is Sarah D. Thank you! Typically, I don't go for turkey sandwiches but their California Turkey Melt was delicious. Black peppered turkey, Applewood bacon, provolone cheese, and house honey mustard served on a hoagie roll. A great combination of flavors with perfect hot, crispy french fries to boot. This restaurant does feature an Oak Room that you can reserve for special occasions, a small bar area near the front entrance and outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend The VWC if you are looking to make an impression. And that beer cheddar soup with pretzel in the middle? I might just have to come back for that one.

While we eat inside, our experience was mostly OK, except for the fact that the cooks couldn't get the rice right (3 tries) on the Lobster Risotto I ordered.
When we moved outside after the meal, to have some wine and talk, a pair of gangsta-wannabes started harassing our table. I got up and confronted them and while this happened (more than 5 minutes) the manager, server, or any of the staff were no where to be found!
These guys threatened us and said they were armed with guns, so this could have turned very badly! But the staff never helped or called security of the police (even though the yelling and screaming was pretty loud and the restaurant's doors were wide open the whole time!
The manager came out after and apologized for not having helped and for our terrible experience, but that was too little, too late!
Our group WON'T be going there again!
UPDATE:
Came back to give them a 2nd chance.
AC not cooling enough.
Michael, the bald bartender, just sneezed, without covering himself, all over the garnish fridge! 🦠🤧 I'm glad I don't do mixed drinks!

An excellent hidden gem that deserves a spot on your restaurant rotation list. The meals are exceptional and reasonably priced, especially the fish dishes.

Truly A Great Eating Experience For Everyone!

I sat outside and received lovely service from Joel. As someone that has worked in consulting in the service industry for many years, it was so refreshing to have such great service even as someone that hung out for a while just to work.. he was attentive and made great recommendations and made the experience wonderful. I highly recommend Joel!

The espresso martini was great! Had the French dip for lunch and it was good as well. Atmosphere was pretty nice, nothing over the top, but it's a clean spot and the staff were attentive and pleasant. I will definitely be back.

On the way home from Orlando, we were hungry so I randomly pick the Vineyard Wine Company off of google maps. It was a charming place in a cute neighborhood right off of I4. We both got the bison burgers for a treat. They were incredible with a slightly stronger flavor than beef that was rich and delicious! The burgers were very big and we each took home a half which heated up perfectly for a midnight snack. We also got dessert, I had the crème brûlée which was quite large and my sister got a chocolate fudge cake that was huge and she had leftovers for a couple days. Both desserts were deliciously decadent. Our waitress, Tara (or possibly Terra) was super sweet and efficient making a great experience even better. We are definitely planning on returning. And would recommend to all.

First time here for my husband and I. The food was decent but the service was subpar. Our server was less than hospitable. Next time we’ll try sitting at the bar. Otherwise, pretty cool place for brunch on a Sunday.

Everything seemed ok until the food came. Ordered Calamari...was subpar..rubbery dry and definitely freezer burned??
Had already ordered main..otherwise would've finished drinks and left.
Ordered the Bone in Ribeye w Burgundy Mushrooms and Brussel Sprouts.
Ribeye...no char...no seasoning..BUT had ordered medium...this was maybe 10 seconds per side very rare and unable to even cut it. Sent that back, had to. That still didn't help with flavor. Wouldn't recommend it even it had been prepared to order. Was only listed as MP.. ended up being about $75 for that plate. The mushrooms were ok..felt microwaved to reheat. But the Sprouts had no added flavor AND were half raw...which is hard to do considering they were cut in half. All in all the kitchen staff failed this night and felt untrained and amateur. I informed the staff and was told I can get a business card by the door and contact management that way. I kindly paid the exorbitant tab ($120) for such lackluster food and left. Ordered 2 drinks...appetizer and main. Not worth ever going back to this place.

It had been a while since we had dined at The Vineyard.
The welcoming décor of the restaurant is so enjoyable.

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner sitting next to the fireplace.
Our server, Mari, took great care of us.
She was so friendly and helpful.
Also, we had a chance to visit with Abby, who helped Mari. We have known her for a long time.

We are really looking to our next visit.
