About Vinaigrette

Vinaigrette, a restaurant known for its positive reputation, has left several customers disappointed, though recent reviews highlight some improvements. The food has been described as mediocre, with meals such as gumbo, chicken, and tuna melt falling short of expectations, while others like the Asian Chop with Cilantro Lime Shrimp, Beet salad with chicken, and pear, blue cheese, and seared tuna salad were fantastically flavorful and generous. The gumbo had only one small shrimp, while the chicken tasted like reconstituted freeze-dried food. The tuna melt was served in a small size, resembling finger sandwiches, and the omega salad lacked dressing. The "corn chowder" was described as flavorless corn water. The lemon cheesecake was the only exception, being a highlight among the dishes. The restaurant's drinks, including orange cream soda, were criticized for their lack of flavor, though the Cucumber Pepito soda and hibiscus tea were delicious. The service was slow, with customers waiting long periods for their food, but recent visitors noted a friendly staff and a quiet, shaded patio. The atmosphere was noisy, making conversations difficult, but the curated, sun-drenched space with reclaimed wood and pastel hues offers a refreshing, if pretentious, vibe. Overall, experiences vary, with some customers disappointed and others highly recommending the place for its great food and stylish setting.
