    The service was impeccable. Our server, Emma, was very pleasant and attentive! She made some very good recommendations and was extremely attentive to our table. It was our guests first time experiencing Vidalia. They were all amazed how good the menu was and the excellent flavors and choices. We enjoyed the great stuffed Onion, stuffed mushrooms and the Calamari. We also order a pasta course which included the Cannelloni, The rigatoni vodka, and the Cacio Pepe. All were excellent. Our entrees were over the top excellent. The Short Rib special with the mushroom risotto was delightful. Our guests enjoyed the evening so much they purchased gift cards for their friends and family! Vidalia as an excellent restuarant!!! Thank you, Emma, for your great Service!

    We’ve been coming here for years for many reasons-the food selections are always interesting and delicious, the service is on par with any fine dining establishment and the ambience is perfect for friends and families. The prices have been kept reasonable and the fact that it is a BYOB is a big plus

    The food and ambience at Vidalia were spectacular! We staff was so attentive. Our party of 8 had such a wonderful time. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. The special short rib over risotto was especially delicious! I am looking forward to returning.

    Great food and great service. Ambiance is satisfactory with nice table settings, but you are in a tent like room with plexiglass windows.

    We booked a table for 6 inside the original restaurant which is more quiet than the outside tented part. Since this was a 70th birthday celebration, it was very difficult for us to hear each other in a very noisy environment, the very reason we booked and wanted to sit inside. The food and service were as usual very good. But you need to stop charging extra for paying with a credit card. No premium restaurants do this. It it very annoying as we all should encourage the end of cash transactions rather than supporting them.

    Really good food. All members of our party enjoyed the food. However, I found it disconcerting that our server came up to us at 8:15 and told us he needed the table in 4 minutes. It would cause me not to return to the restaurant.

    The food is is superb and consistent. What detracts from the dinning experience is the noise level in the indoor room. I do realize that there is probably nothing that can be done about this.
