    Vidalia is a quaint restaurant with excellent servers, a great menu and nice ambiance. You can sit inside or outside and the owner is very friendly. I love that it is BYOB.

    We returned to Vidalia's because it was our 2 year wedding anniversary. We had our wedding reception there 2 years ago. I was disappointed that even though I told the hostess that it was our wedding anniversary and I wrote it on my application and no one acknowledged us. It was very disappointing. The food was good.. average Italian. We took our dessert home. I had Tiramisu. I've had better at Olive Garden. It was so dry and extremely disappointing. I just felt like Vidalia's has lost some of it's charm.

    Classy Italian restaurant, a cut above the rest. Many choices on the menu. Employees are excellent so that the service and attention is excellent. Food was excellent as well, although I just wished the portions were slightly larger. Overall, a terrific dining experience. A neighborhood gem. Love the BYOB. Definitely a place to return. I’ll spread the word.

    Cosy and tucked away on a side street, Vidalia’s offers truly delicious food and a charming atmosphere. I simply love it there. Go; you won’t be disappointed!

    Excellent food (Shrimp, Chicken w/ figs, and desserts) and service (Meghan and the Team). The entire process; seating, ordering, food delivery and cleanup went smoothly; our Server plus the hostess, owner (Sal) and another server coordinated their movements, actions and follow-up; it was a very efficient and effective operation. We did appreciate the responses to some small requests we made i.e. plain bread for my wife (garlic does not agree with her), replacing mashed potatoes with pasta, etc. It was a very delightful visit and we plan to visit again soon.

    Lunched today at Vidalia. I would definitely recommend the Tuna BLT. I chose salad rather than fries and the salad was very tasty too. I will go back, and it will not be easy to talk myself out of ordering that Tuna BLT again: generous helpings of sushi-grade Tuna and bacon. Thank you Vidalia.
