Vinum Cafe

Really nice restaurant for its location, but nothing great or memorable. They don’t even have too much connection with the winery, or at least having a wine pair food menu, such a shame for the oldest winery who actually invented the “wine tasting”. And they are really short on stuffs, and do needs more training. But all of them are nice and friendly.

It was a perfect ending to a lovely day after touring Brotherhood Winery. My friends and I enjoyed the mussels, escargot and foie gras for appetizers. Two of us had the the tender and well-seasoned prime rib. The other two had the rack of lamb entrée which was equally delicious. There were very few people there when we dined at 4pm on a Sunday. I don't know if that is the norm though.

Amazing food! And we loved their no steak knife policy!! If we couldn't cut our steaks with butter knives, they would send it back and remake it. This policy did not fail because they cut just like butter! Super juicy and delicious. Elegant atmosphere, but not the best soundproofing (could hear the birthday party at the other end pretty clearly). The staff was very welcoming as well. We stopped in on a snowy day after a wine tasting. We will return if we get back to the area.

I had my sister's bridal shower here and it was more than I could have hoped for. The staff was so nice and made sure everything happened the way we wanted it. Christian, the owner and executive chef was involved every step of the process and made sure everything came out the way we wanted and the food was prepared fresh. We could not have had a better shower without Christian and his wonderful staff!!

I have been to Vinum on numerous occasions, and am in awe at the recent review in regards to segregation. I personally, being a Latina and dating a man of color have had a completely different experience every time I have been to the cafe. The owner Christian has been nothing but kind to me and my family. Each time we go to Vinum the weather tends to dictate what seating is available. There has been times we have been seated on the patio, but he is always accommodating if we do not feel we are comfortable outside/prefer to be inside if it’s a nice day. There has even been some days we have been told it is too hot outside to even sit on the patio which my boyfriend and I appreciate. The food is incomparable to any other restaurant I have been to, and the waiting staff is extremely friendly and always makes me feel at home. Don’t be fooled by others misinformation, I assure you Vinum is a welcoming place if you are willing to sit down and enjoy their fully stocked bar (the Vinum Special is my favorite!) and a full meal from their delicious menu.
