Was an easy in for a Saturday night dinner. Scallops with the mushroom risotto and fresh asparagus was excellent! Topped it off with a splurge of their banana cream pie!

Vinoteca has the best Lasagna in the World!! Not only is the food and service spectacular, I would continue to go there regularly just for their bread and balsamic/EVO garlic/basil dipping sauce! You will be welcomed by Skye and the rest of the Vinoteca team! Great wine and drinks too. Five Stars!!!

Great spot with lots of food and drink options, a fantastic cheese and meat board, and nice staff.

Great service, authentic food for family, date night, or group of friends. The focaccia with olive oil, balsamic tapenade was fantastic! My linguine sauce was a bit salty, but his gnocchi was great.

This restaurant is incredible! I love the small quaint romantic atmosphere. The bread and dipping oil haunts my dreams! I have been dining at this establishment for two decades and have quite enjoyed watching the progression over the years. The new owners have brought a wonderful energy, and improved upon already delicious cuisine!

We love going here for Sunday night dinners. The food is so good. The atmosphere is mellow and it's a small dining room but feels spacious. The staff is so nice to us and it has a full bar and a few TVs so you don't miss the game.

Was hesitant to go here, but it turned out well. With the take out experiences during Covid the portions were small, not favor flavorful, and not worth the price. Tonight we went and dined in hoping for a better experience and it was! Portions were appropriate. I had more than 3 spoonfuls of gnocchi on my dine in plate.
Amazing as a dine in experience:)

Excellent service and fabulous food and drinks. They were very short staffed but did their best. The crew took extremely good care of us and the food always came out the right temp and tasting great. Felt safe in pandemic times. My table will definitely be back!!

Covid dinner with appropriate distancing. Service was excellent. Food a solid good. Wine selection is good; the pours are a little scant. I had calamari appetizer and a dinner salad with shrimp Louie which did not taste bad, but not like shrimp Louie. Good experience overall.

Went there for a quick dinner with my sons. Two salads and a steak sandwich - all excellent. Special request re salad dressing accommodated. Food and service excellent. Menu pretty much for any appetite, taste. Surroundings pleasant, quiet enough for private conversation. Good choice.

I ordered the fried chicken and my wife got the scallops. For dessert we had the banana cream pie. Everything was bland and linear. It reminded me of my mamma's cooking (not great) lol.
Update: The owner reached out to me to thank me for the honest feedback. This is a sign of great leadership and willingness to learn and grow. For this, I added another 🌟!
Judy Durant
FANTASTIC !!!
Great service from start to finish.
The fried chicken is the best I have ever had. Perfection again with the salmon fettuccine
Will be back again soon. My son and I were pleasantly surprised with such a unknown GEM to us. I read a couple of bad reviews ...however they must be ...way over the top needy and pretentious . i

Food was delicious. Will definitely be visiting again.

The other reviews were right about the place being busy and service being slow. We waited for ten minutes at the entrance before anyone would acknowledge us. The reservation we had didn't work, we got seated outside and left to ponder. We chose to move back in and eat at the bar counter where the lady who served us was very cordial and efficient. Food is not of the quality you see in Biba or Il Fornaio, but not bad. Overall, I appreciate the hard working staff, but don't see myself returning. Again, not bad, but nothing compelling.

My girl had the salmon alfredo. The salmon was plentiful and cooked to perfection. The noodles were tasty and tender and the sauce flavorful but not overbearing. I had linguine with clams. The clams were delicious and very plentiful, the wine based sauce delightful, and the linguine so tender I suspect it was fresh made in house. We loved it!

Just drove by and decided to stop! To our surprise this will be our next favorite. Absolutely beautiful, customer service off the chain, Julius the waitress is beautiful kind receptive and smiles a lot. The food is scrumptious. The focaccia bread melts in your mouth. The house wine Merlot was especially rich and flavorful!
Mr Nelson and I will return !

Lunch there was great. Had grilled romaine salad on two occasions. Friendly and efficient staff. Have been there for happy hour a few times too.
Dori Larson
Had a delicious lunch here today. The bread and herbed olive oil/balsamic was amazing! I had a yummy gazpacho soup and my partner had a tender flavorful steak sandwich. Service was excellent. We raved so much about the bread our waitress sent some home with us along with a container of the dipping oil. Would highly recimmend them.
Bob Miller
This has become our new go to lunch place. The owners and staff are great and the service is awesome. I have had several different items on the menu and you can tell that they use fresh ingredients and put a lot of care into preparing your meal. From pizza to the burgers to the panini' s everything is great. I highly recommend Cafe Vinoteca.
Kat Garcia
I took my mother there yesterday; and hopes of trying their Italian food as it has received great praises per Yelp reviews. I was disappointed upon arrival to find out that they were only serving brunch, and ordering off the main menu was not option. So we opted to stay in fear that all other restaurants would be busy because of Mother's Day. The options and food were ok, but the service was good. Would I go back to try the regular menu? Maybe.....the brunch prices were high and food quality was low.
Bea Bird
We have enjoyed Vinoteca as a favorite restaurant destination and the friendships formed there over the past years. It is exciting to see the upgraded decor with the same congenial welcome from the past. New creative, top quality menu choices, fine wines, and bar services are incorporated due to the retention of top notch existing staff and new staff. Creative new services to Are planed come. We feel sure you won't be disappointed when you visit❣️ Best wishes to Stacy, Carla and staff as you move forward. David & Bea
