                                                    We had a great experience at Vin Rouge. Jax was a delight and took good care of us, making food recommendations and making certain we were well cared for. The food is excellent. Everything from starters through dessert was well prepared and delicious. The ambiance feels authentically like a bistro in Paris. We’ll be back!

                                                    We went there for our New Year's Eve dinner. We shared an appetizer, foie gras, which was excellent. as was the duck confit and the frisses aux lardon. The entrees, hanger steak and the maitake bourguignon were also outstanding. Very nice wine list too. Our server, Spencer G., was excellent; friendly, available but not hovering. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable dinner.

                                                    I gave this one star due to the NOISE LEVEL. Made the whole experience u enjoyable. It would be so easy to install noise dampening panels in the ceiling, please do something…..

                                                    We dined at Vin Rouge on Xmas eve and it was amazing. The perfect combination of delicious French cuisine and a festive ambience. We were seated right by the pretty Christmas tree and our family enjoyed an outstanding meal and attentive service. Highly recommended!!

                                                    Unbelievably amazing experience. Service was phenomenal, food was insanely good, and they went above and beyond for me. The waiters/staff were all extremely professional and welcoming. Plus it was my birthday and they went out of their way to give me a card and surprise me with this ridiculously delicious dark chocolate mousse. I’ve never felt so comfortable dining anywhere and treating so amazingly. Thank you so much.

                                                    Consistently good, always charming. Service was ok. They bring coffee with cream & sugar, but no spoon. They never put spoons on the table. Had to search for waiter to bring spoon. No big deal, but an easy fix.

                                                    Loud, but it can’t be helped when people are having a good time and enjoying the food. Delicious.😋
