| - We have been to the Vin Room (West) twice now. The most recent time on New Year's Eve.
Each time the food was incredible and so was the service.
While the idea of a tapas only menu took some getting used to for us, I can say that we quite like the idea now.
For anyone looking for a recommendation, try the lamb. I'm generally not a fan of that type of meat, but it was absolutely delicious! My compliments to the Chef.
The wine list is extensive and well organized, and based on the ones we tried the tasting descriptions were right on the money, which I don't find is the case at a lot of "wine friendly" establishments. This is incredibly helpful if you're like us and like to try something new every time.
Above all else, we have really enjoyed every wine from their list so far. And we've tried quite a few!
Wines seem to vary from about $35-$40 per bottle up to about $125 per bottle, with an average in the $50-$55 range.
All in all the Vin Room doesn't make for a cheap night out, but it's worth what you pay.
The only reason I dropped the review to 4 Stars is the seating.
Both times we have visited there were only two of us and we were seated to the left of the bar near the entrance. The seats there are incredibly uncomfortable to sit in while dining and the tables are so small there isn't enough room for even the most basic of cutlery/dish ware. It really makes you feel cramped and it's hard to relax. Which is really the point when you're out drinking wine.
**To support this comment, during our most recent visit, we overheard two other people asking to be seated elsewhere for the same reasons. Though since we have never been seated in any other part of the restaurant, I can't say what the seating in other areas is like.
I would also note that when making our most recent reservation we indicated in the comments that we would like to be seated elsewhere, however that wish was not honoured. Though being New Year's Eve I do understand that it may not have been possible. So that's less of a complaint and more something we took note of.
Despite these drawbacks I would highly recommend the Vin Room West!
