★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1This was our monthly date night to an upscale restaurant and it did not disappoint. Service was superb and the food with recommendations from our server were spot on. The medley of fish was incredible along with my wife’s steak and she usually doesn’t order steak. You could literally cut it with a spoon and the flavor was out of this world cooked to perfection. Then we had dessert the chocolate cake was amazing and they brought us a peach crème brûlée oh I forgot we don’t like crème brûlée just so we could try it. I’m not sure which was better they were both incredibly delicious. We will definitely be back to this place.
September 03 · Ron FlewellenA marvelous dining experience from the bar to the table. Met our friends for dinner. Had a cocktail at the bar then on to dinner. Diane, our professional server, told about the specials. Between the menu and the specials, delicious decisions to make. We shared the mushroom tart - perfectly balanced. Two of us had fish - beautifully deboned and presented, others had veal and elk. Cooked to order and beautifully presented. I was presented with some white wines to sample and decide which would accompany my meal, which I love. One diner had our server choose his meal, which he was delighted with. We had an assortment of delicious desserts with apples being the center of attention. Plus, my fave, the flourless chocolate cake with an after dinner drink. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
November 18 · Cecilia S.Outstanding service. The servers were friendly, courteous and helpful. They didn't hover, but always seemed to be there when something was needed. Great looking dining room. The food was good, somewhat average.
December 22 · J. fortneyBeautiful interior with high backed blue velvet banquettes and crisp white linens. Fresh house made croissants were buttery, flaky and tender. Beef Wellington was cooked to a perfect medium rare with a delicious crust. We ordered a Lemon Tart with raspberry sorbet for dessert and they dressed it up for my mom’s birthday. Lovely!
March 07 · Kathleen KahrFor years we have been making Bastille day at Vincent's. Except 2020 covid. Made it back for this July for Bastille day and Anniversary. Vincent's has raised the bar. It was a treat and service and food were outstanding as usual. The escargot is one of the best coupled with Vichyssoise soup you cannot beat it. This time we found the Beef and scallops to be cooked perfect with potatoes that were to dye for. Sorry no photos. Finished it before it could be photo'd. And wine choice matched perfectly.
