Vin Room was the venue of choice for a recent get together with friends. It was a fabulous place to be able to catch up, while leisurely enjoying a meal and a few drinks.
The ambiance is trendy, yet comfortable. There is a nice romantic undertone to it teamed with enough energy so it is not awkwardly so, making it a great place to go on those first few dates you rather fancy.
Food was fantastic! Being tapas, portions are smaller and ideal for sharing. We had a group of four and it was nice to be able to easily nibble at a bunch of dishes, instead of sticking to our own. Each dish was presented in a eye pleasing fashion & flavors danced on my tongue. Had no desire to rush through any of the meal. Lobster nachos were better than I expected, with generous chunks of meat on the dish. The bone marrow was a special treat & a must try if you are adventurous. The dessert had me wanting to lick my plate afterwards (not a usual desire of mine.) I took a chance and ordered the chocolate banana bread pudding, even though I am not normally a bread pudding kind of gal. The bourbon sauce is still stuck in my mind. Sign of a truly wonderful dessert. I am looking forward to going back so that I can try the lamb kabobs & eggplant chips.
Wine is definitely a highlight here! You can order anything from tastes to full bottles. Allows for ample opportunity to try something you would not normally have, without feeling like you are making a commitment.
Service was laid back, but not lacking. There was no pressure to hurry things along and any questions were happily (& thoughtfully) answered. Suggestions were available if needed.
DEFINITELY MAKE A RESERVATION!
