This tapas restaurant is something else and it's amazing!!! We loved it, the service was great, the food was super tasty and the whole environment was super relaxing and welcoming. This is a great place for date nights, groups and everything in between, definitely something adult friendly kid free environment. Their wine selection is really good. For food we went for the lamb sliders, caprese jumbo lump crab cakes and the grill honey/spicy swordfish all the food was another level, (the fish was our favorite) but everything else was so good that it melted in your mouth and their cocktail was really good if you are not into wine. We enjoyed all the food we tried and definitely will be back to try more of their food. The chef was out on the floor checking in with the guests and making sure everything was good, which is something you don't see often. It's a place to go for locals but even if it's your first time you feel like a regular and excellent service!!!! I will go back for sure and I will highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥
We were visiting from Austin and I picked this place out...my wife is WSET Diploma and working on her Master of Wine. The wine menu has a few things on it she liked but we were hoping for more...alas, not their fault--it's just a NC market I'm afraid as it seems everytime we look for a place visiting family that moved here, finding that ultra-shiek cool options, great small plate bomb wine place. Never fear--service and food here were good, and it's a pleasant atmosphere...worth visiting.
Vinos Finos is a hidden gem. It has a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere and you are always greeted with friendly, professional staff. They have high quality food and excellent wines that you don't see in other restaurants. They also have a very generous pour of the wines vs more expensive and smaller glasses of wine in other establishments. The unique, european style location is like nothing else around. We continue to come back to Vinos and we're happy to be regulars here!
During my day exploring, I finally visited Vinos, nestled in Lafayette Village. Very nice spot for a nice glass of wine with an overwhelming amount of wine options for wine lovers. Perfect place to drop in for wine, cheese boards, tapas, and even desserts. You will not be disappointed. I had the Cabernet Flight, which was a burst of
blackberry along with warm spice and vanilla, and I enjoyed it.
Service: Only one person was working the bar, and that individual was also responsible for folks dining in and outside. He was fast, but I think stretching staff members short takes away from experience. Some people walked in and waited a while before anyone greeted them. There should be a host. No one should walk in and not be acknowledged. That's not the best look, but besides that, when that person was freed up, he did a great job servicing everyone. I get it times are tough, and it's important to keep businesses afloat, but rethinking this process would greatly improve the overall experience.
Some of the best food I have had in a long time. The service was amazing, the wine flights were great, and I keep dreaming about that apple strudel. The goat cheese stuffed peppers were so good we ordered more. Highly recommend!!!
We've dined there several times, and it has become one of our favorite restaurants. The tapas plates are terrific, and the paella is incredible. Add the great wines and this place is hard to beat
Enjoyed our experience at Vinos this weekend. The empanadas were the hit (the crust was to die for). Bec our server was also amazing. She seemed to run the inside and outside by herself upon opening Sunday. For a one-woman front of house show, she killed it. Otherwise the food and wine were good. Would love if they had a make your own flight.
One of our favorite places to eat. Have been there several times over the course of 2 years and have never been disappointed! The beet salad is to die for! Scallops today were amazing. Love the Malbec! The atmosphere inside and out are great. The service is exceptional.
I absolutely love this place. My wife and have been here several times and are amazed at the flavorful dishes and great wine every time. There’s always other people there, but never over crowded where we’ve had to wait for a table. Awesome tapas restaurant and I highly recommend it!
Next up for a savory start, Vinos Finos Tapas and Wine Bar!
We tried the fresh Meat and Cheese Board with fresh baguettes. That was a great selection of meat and cheese, and strawberry jam (served on the side), which was an experience unlike any other. I'm a cheese lover. The meat and cheese board was so picture worthy too!
We tried various appetizer tapas that included:
The Tuna Nacho are a killer! Each tortilla is crisped and topped to perfection with seared tuna, guacamole, and thinly sliced of jalapeño pepper with their speciality blended sauces. You can never get a lame chip. Their guacamole is stellar, one that can't be beat. The greenest, freshest avocados brought out the taste of the seared tuna with each bite.
Next came the empanadas. You can tell that the empanadas were made fresh in house, with care:
-Duck with sweet potato
-Beef
-Corn and Cheese
What is a brunch experience without eggs? Every bite of the deviled eggs was a delightfully fluffy one.
The Crab Cakes were surprisingly a monstrous amount of jumbo lump crab meat stacked and toasted to perfection.
The hearty Grilled Shrimp were beautifully twisted and decorated, and full of flavor!
Last but not least, the desserts were unbelievable! You can definitely taste the warmth and love of these delicious desserts:
-The Pannacotta served with a side of sorbet definitely brought on the combination of deliciousness that's on a next level. This is a must try!
-Cheesecake was perfect for sharing!
I can't wait until the weather gets warmer to enjoy their patio seating. Next time I will order some wine as I shall be back!
