| - I suffer from first born syndrome so it veers me from situations that require sharing. I'll just use that excuse as to why I've never been to a tapas bar lol But I decided to join some friends for a birthday celebration at Vin, not really knowing what to expect.
Our table of 9 was on the upper level - right at the top of the stairs so it was kinda awkward.
Our server was quick to greet each one of us as we arrived, drink orders taken promptly. Glancing at the menu, I was keeping tabs of things that I wanted to try - keeping in mind I had to share ;) We settled on the grilled pork belly lettuce wraps, calamari, pistachio crusted scallops and lobster nachos. Our vegan tolerant friend went with the double dip, seasonal veggies, eggplant chips and chickpea fritters.
Everything came our pretty quick, and we were all ready to dig in. The pork for the lettuce wraps had a similar flavor to the charbroiled pork chops you get at Vietnamese restaurants. I loved the raisin pineapple chutney that came with the scallops! And the lobster nachos that everyone recommends did not disappoint! Hearty chunks of lobster meat complimented the pico de gallo and cheese. Everything was so good! I managed to sample an eggplant chip and a chickpea fritter, both were pretty tasty.
After being completely stuffed, we were suggested with the idea of dessert. Taking a small peek, we decided to share the s'more. And good thing we did, it was HUGE! It was enough to satisfy 4 of us and yes, at one point we did want s'more :)
Vin made me a believer that sharing is caring! I can't wait to come back to try out the other items on the menu
