    Vignettes is a wonderful place to spend a night with friends, family, or loved ones. Their themes are always fun, and the decorations they use to match are always top notch. Love what they do with the drink menus, the tables, and the costumes that the bartenders and wait staff wear! Plus you are in for a real treat if Gina is working, she always makes our visits memorable and we love getting to visit with her whenever we go to Vignettes! My girlfriend and I have been on multiple occasions, and we plan to continue to attend as often as possible! My Chemical Barmance was the latest one we attended, and they really went all out! We'll definitely be going back soon, and you should plan to visit soon as well!

    I am unsure if they were short-staffed, but the service was prolonged and delayed. The food was exceptional, cocktails were delicious and the overall ambiance was gorgeous.
