   We have dined at Vinnie's many times over several years. The service is always excellent...attentive without being intrusive. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and chose steaks which were cooked to perfection and delicious. We will continue to patronize Vinnie's in the future as one our "go to' choices for special occasions.

   Dear Alan, We regret your unsatisfactory experience at our establishment. Our records indicate that 2 "Opus One" bottles of wine were ordered, presented, and consumed. The price discrepancy in reference was only raised after consumption, when it was stated that "Opus Overture" (a wine that is half the price of "Opus One") was the intended selection. While we strive to provide excellent service, we cannot adjust charges for consumed wine. Given the subsequent hostile interaction and profanity expressed towards our management team, we must respectfully decline future service. Thank you, Owner/Operator

   Truly a wonderful dining experience! We brought dear friends to the restaurant to celebrate the new year and enjoy each other’s company. Our server Jules, made us feel wonderful with her courteous demeanor and competent service. From the delicious oysters, the succulent Ahi Tuna, the well prepared steaks, and the amazing potato Gouda side, the meal was spectacular. We are looking forward to returning.

   This was our first time and we were very excited based on the reviews. We eat out a lot in Raleigh, so we know the food scene very well. The food was fantastic but we didn’t get to try everything we ordered because they forgot it. The service was majorly lacking. We got seated right around 7:35, ordered around 7:45, and didn’t get our meals until after 8:45. So over an hour for food to come. In this time, the server forgot to bring us bread until nearly 8:30 so we sat at the table with no food for nearly an hour. On top of that, they totally forgot to bring us the French onion soup we ordered, which was supposed to come out prior to the meal. On top of that, not that it was required, but no discount or comp for the poor service (speed) or totally forgetting the single appetizer we ordered (soup) when the kitchen was running over an hour behind. I didn’t mention it or ask for one, but as someone who eats out often, most of the other high end restaurants would’ve made up for the poor service (discount, free desert, etc).

   We had a great meal at a high top in the bar with Jules. The food was fantastic and the service was great.
