   Another stellar night—this place keeps winning us over. Valet parking? A total game-changer (no circling the block like a hungry shark). We got seated right away, and our waitress was a gem—fun, fast, and knew her way around the menu like a pro. Started with the baked oysters, which were so good we briefly considered ordering another round. The whitefish was flaky, flavorful, and clearly fresh—like it swam onto the plate just for us. And the strawberry cheesecake? Let’s just say if love had a flavor, it’d taste like that. We’ll definitely be back—probably sooner than we should.

   We were there at Happy Hour so we ate some of the Happy Hour offerings. Raw oysters were delicious. Fried clam strips were great. In addition the bread served was warm and crunchy and the oil/vinegar/cheese to dip it in was tasty. We had a huge Ceasar salad (enough for 3 people) which was served in an ice cold bowl, just as it should be. Very good! We also ordered one entree so everyone could taste the fried shrimp and fries. It did not disappoint. Will definitely go back to Vinny’s.

   We had an excellent dinner. We were extremely unhappy that the oysters have went up to $44 for a dozen. A few people in our party complained about the pricing. Pricing is definitely on the high end but the food is outstanding.

    Loved this restaurant when it was Tin Fish so thought we would give it a try since most reviews were very positive. Quite disappointed from beginning to the end of our dinner. And sadly, it was more than one mess up on their part. In the end, it is not worth the price they charge for their food.
