One of the worst experiences we've ever had at a restaurant.

Have visited a few times, always enjoyed the food and atmosphere!! Recently my boyfriend planned us a date night here and we weren’t sadly disappointed with the server we had 🙁 and left before even ordering.. unfortunate night..

Very enjoyable evening of quiet conversation with my cousin as I visited from Florida. Our food was yummy, large servings (we should have shared as we took home over 1/2).. the server was nice, and took good care of our order, and saw to it we were happy with our meal. I ordered the salmon, she ordered pasta.
I recommend Vino's Ristorante in Cedar Rapids. Iowa.

Visit with a friend. Beautiful atmosphere but the service was terrible. There was only two couples in the building but sat me all the way in the back by the kitchen. (??‍♀️No big deal). They turned on everybody little lamps but ours again (??‍♀️ no big deal). I asked if they could make virgin drinks the server and manager seem unhappy about my request but I thought maybe I'm reading into things. I was told what I order was really rich but they brought me bland dry bread. When my food was served I shared with the waiter I didn't like what was served. She was appalled, walked away, and told the kitchen give table 46 their check and get them out of here. The original waiter brought the check still charging me for food they snatched (rudely) away from us. I had asked for a manager and my friend asked was the manager the one that just said "give table 46 their check and get them out of here". She said "yes" and went in the kitchen and repeated what she asked her. One of the males in the kitchen said "if they want to talk to the manager I'll go out there", as if she was making some kind of issue. When we left the manager tried to bump into my friend purposely. She stepped out of her way. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone but honestly I wouldn't recommend it to black people because everyone else that came in after us was treated awesome.

Had dinner there last night. I have been there many times and I always get the NY strip steak because I belive it to be the best in town. Well, last night was a different story.
I ordered the steak medium rare. It came out medium well to well, and Nothing but gristle., it was the worst steak I have ever had..... For thirty two dollars, vino's should be embarrassed....

We were in town for a college graduation and we wanted to escape the craziness of the city. I called Angela last December to secure a reservation. She was absolutely amazing! It was a large party so I wanted to be sure we had a reservation somewhere nice. Vino’s did not disappoint! We arrived and the staff were so nice and welcoming. I was greeted by Angela and she was also the server. She was absolutely amazing! Couldn’t do enough for us. Very attentive, kind, fun and polite. She took such great care of all 13 of us with zero issues. The food was spectacular! We all left smiling and happy bellies. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Just all and all and great time! We will be back when we are in town. A special thank you to Angela and staff. You guys rock!!!

Great food, great service. The baked mozzarella is yum and the sauce on the filet is something you will want to go back for.

Food, excellent. Price, a little bit high. Atmosphere in the dining area, a 3.5 out of 5. The lounge/bar area would be a 5 If it weren't for the ripped and frayed booths. This should an easy fix when charging 13 bucks for a drink, 15 for an appetizer, and 30 for a meal. The service was a bit on the slow side. The server wasn't very personable. When the $190 bill came, he set it on the table and without a word, walked away. No, "Thank you for coming.", or "Have a nice evening." Nothing. The drinks were slightly overpriced but VERY good.

The last time I was in Vinos was about 40 years ago. It's just as good today as it was back then. The most charming and intimate atmosphere I have ever experienced.
