  • The Vandal & Bar Marco Wine Dinner

    20 Mar 2025 only
    We’re kicking off our 10 year anniversary celebration(s) with a collaborative, 5 course dinner with our long time wine friends, Bar Marco. Join us on March 20th, the spring equinox, as the seasons change hands. Our kitchen teams are collaborating on an early spring menu with a nod to Bar Marco’s Italian roots and our love of French cooking. It wouldn’t be a party without a steady flow of great wines, handpicked to pair with each course. $85 pp + $35 wine pairings

    Great service & ambience. Some menu items were pretty good, others were just okay. Menu items a bit pricey for the quality. Good place to grab a drink at the bar

    Excellent food and a high quality wine list. The only problem was that the room was very noisey.

    The food was great. The seating was a little tight, but aside from that it was a very good experience.

    The Vandal was so much fun last night. We just wanted a great light meal and shared the Winter Citrus and Smoked Trout rillettes, and then the Duck Breast Entre along with a glass and a half of wine each. It was perfect! We had great service and, as always, there was that cool Vandal Vibe.

    Still doesn’t disappoint. If I could change anything it would be that we’re not rushed as much. Place is small and they want to make sure they can turnover in time.

    My friend and I had such a great dinner! The restaurant is smaller, but very cozy at night. Our waiter was excellent and the food was delicious!! Both dishes were like nothing we’d ever had before and we loved them. The drinks were also excellent. I asked about one of the liquors and the woman making the cocktails was so sweet and came over to our table to describe it to me! I would definitely recommend this spot for a date night or dinner with a friend!
