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.

Fantastic food and great service from Chef Christian and his staff. Try the signature mixed berries dessert…

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.

Food/Music/Service/Ambiance all perfect. We celebrated my wife’s Birthday there on a recent Sunday. It was our first time there, and we will definitely return. Meting the owner was a nice extra touch showing that he cared. We even stayed for wine tasting in the next building.

This past weekend I hosted my best friend’s bridal shower at the Vinum Cafe. The owner, Christian, along with the other staff we’re extremely helpful and supportive throughout all the steps of planning organizing and hosting this event! All of the guests were ranting and raving about how great the food was and the atmosphere and Ambiance was amazing. We were able to set up our decor however we wanted and the staff was nothing but helpful. It was such an amazing time the bride was glowing and the guests all enjoyed themselves. What an amazing experience! Thank You Vinom Cafe!

Great, fresh food and service! I took my wife for her birthday and we loved it. Very nice and relaxing atmosphere with friendly, warm service. Vinum has a nice sized menu that includes something for everyone. I had a special with scallops- the best scallops I’ve ever had.

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.

Took my sister here before her wedding with friends. The waiter was very friendly but when it was time to pay, two people paid by credit card the rest paid cash. I was overcharged $180 on my card instead of 60. I think the waiter kept my money and overcharged my credit card. I called and spoke to Christian who said he would take care of it it’s been over 2 weeks and my card has still not been credited from the restaurant I had to ask my bank to do it. Very poor management…food was OK.

Really great meal here. We went for Thanksgiving dinner, when they had a prix fixe menu. The chef went out of his way to make a special plate for my friend, who has dietary restrictions – and we appreciated it.
