We ordered a couple of tapas plates and it was ridiculous how the food portion came out. 17 bucks for croatian specialty cevapi dish, 3 small meat pieces. We have been to many croatian restaurants and never experienced this kind of quality and portion for the price! We all left very hungry. Burek was also very dry and tiniest burek we've seen for 17 bucks.

The sleek interior and delicious food make this a great spot for brunch with family or dinner and drinks with friends. You can get a taste of Croatian cuisine or choose from familiar classics. They offer an extensive selection of wines and spirits.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Such a fun Saturday night. Atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. Our waiter, Tommy, is so friendly and patient (especially with our kids!) Food is delicious and wine choices are all so good. Can't wait to go back

Tried ViNoTEKA 46 with a friend. It was awesome! Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations! The food was delicious, especially the grilled octopus, beet salad, and cod croquettes. It was pretty noisy, but the vibe was great. Highly recommend this gem!!

Food was amazing! I am gluten free and they had so many good options and everything gluten free was labeled with GF which made it so much easier to order. Had the meat and cheese board, gluten free flatbread with goat cheese, prosciutto and fig and lollipop lamb chops. Everything was so delicious. For dessert we got the gluten free flourless chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream (heaven). They have live music playing all night. The restaurant wasn't that busy on a Friday night, which I was so surprised because it's such a cute place and food was soooo good! You have to try it!!! Will be back.

I saw on the wine list an Orange/ Skin contact wine.When I asked the server about the profile before even looking on the phone for it, she said: it was a medium-body white infused with Orange Peel, and I was astonished.I told our server to wait whatI explained that skin contact means that during fermentation, the wine spends some time on skin contact with the grapes. So therefore, from grapes skin contact is where the orange color or tones on the wine comes from, not that it was orange peel infused, and she re-stated that she was sure it was orange peel infused and continued, "you can even taste it on the wine" assured me that her manager has told her so.I didn't even want to keep the discussion going because sometimes is not the server's responsibility to know about these tasting profiles, but instead is the duty of the Sommelier or Wine and Beverages Director. However, the service and hospitality were top-notch despite the incorrect information I received.Instead, I ordered the 6oz pour of this Amber Wine, a blend of Croatian native grapes and Pinot Grigio.I ordered - 6 oz por of Pinot Noir from Monterey, CA, for my guest.Food:We ordered The crispy artichokes, a great appetizer, the biggest surprise of the night, and the Cod Croquettes that were my favorites.I also ordered the Brussel Sprouts, Gnocchi with shrimp that was very oily and had only three shrimps.A New York Strip Steak for my partner with fries, but the fries looked over-fried. The New York Strip Steak was a good size portion and thick but with a sauce on top, kind of a bit different gravy.Hospitality was the staple of the night. They accommodated many families during the night, and the ambiance was excellent.

Food was delicious and the atmosphere is lovely. The food came out slowly. This was fine for our evening since dinner was the activity. No on rushed us. Really diverse menu that meet our gluten free diet needs.

When you search for the place, it is described as tapas, which is slightly misleading. It absolutely features small plates, and you can even get tacos, but the eclectic mix in the menu, with some unique Croatian dishes is not to be missed. The care and devotion shown is evident in each dish, the care shown by the staff, and the owner himself taking time to chat with us and make recommendations. This is one place not to be missed! Absolutely try the tomato soup, the Ćevapi (skinless sausage, onion, and pita), and the Burek (Croatian spinach and cheese pie).

The ambiance is warm and intimate. Great good snd wine selection. Not the best service. Our server did not get to us for a bit and there was nobody in the restaurant when wr arrived
This is a new restaurant and they get some things right and some things not quite so right, but it definitely has potential. The menu is varied; small plates, appetizers, entrees, a handful of meatless options (my partner and I are vegetarians). Service was very friendly. One thing that stood out was that the burgers literally come with nothing on them, and all toppings, including lettuce and tomato, are at an additional charge. I've never seen this before. The veggie burger was already $15.95, and but it would be $.50 for lettuce and $.50 for tomato, and $1.50 for cheese. These things are normally included in the price of a burger in most places, and the burger's price is already in the high side, so a simple cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato would now cost $18.45, and if I want other toppings such as onions or mushrooms that would be an additional $1.00 for each. Nor do the burgers come with fries, that's another $4 for regular fries and $8 for truffle fries. So we're talking over $22 for a veggies burger with lettuce, tomato, cheese and plain fries. That's just not right. Most restaurants, including several in the same area, include all these things for the same price. The roasted beet appetizer was delicious as well as the margherita flatbread. However, the spinach and cheese pie came highly recommended, and while it looked lovely, it was mostly phyllo dough and had very little spinach and cheese inside. We chose not to finish it. I think this restaurant needs some time to read feedback and work out the kinks.
We had a great night. It was a quieter Wednesday, but we usually come during the weekends when they have live music; they always bring in talented performers and we enjoy it. Great wine selection, I love how they serve it in big glasses so you can really appreciate the wine, and always the best wagyu burger in the village.

Best grilled octopus on Long Island, no one can compare. Nice ambiance after their recent renovation. Make sure you check out the new restaurant they just opened, The Olive Room, in Port Washington. Owner told me they plan to expand further because things are going well. Best of luck to them, we wish them much success!

We had dinner tonight at Vinoteka and it was great. Nice variety of small plates, a nice change from the usual Huntington fare. Great wine list and server was very attentive. We'll be back.

Second time here. First was a date night with hubby and this time was a long overdue ladies night with friends I hadn't seen in over 2 years. ViNoTEKA 46 is a winner all around. Love their menu of small plates to share with your group, or pick what you like and keep it for yourself. :) The service both times was superb - this time the owner was here and incredibly gracious and accommodating - checked in on us throughout the night to be sure everything was going well. Really loved the food and drinks once again. They have a rather creative wine list that you can opt to do 3 ounce pours (vs a 6 oz full glass) to build-your-own wine tasting, which is so much fun. (Did this the first time I went with hubby.) This time there was a live band playing classic and 80s hits, and the noise level was perfect - not too loud (we could hear each other talk and have a conversation) and not too quiet - perfect background music to set the scene for the evening. The place started to fill up around 7:30 or so. Glad we got there early and got our pick of seating - which is all comfortable, by the way. Nice bar menu, and a few fun cocktails that I'll need to take a more serious look at next time we go. This time was a wine night. Loved every minute and will definitely be back! Love the atmosphere here.
