    Went for Father's Day Dinner and thought it would be busy. Was not so we thought it would be quick service...how wrong we were. Was seated by 7:40 pm, didn't get main meal until 9:00 pm. Food was ok, didn't take home any leftovers. Usually I do but not tonight. Restaurant is not warming, needs updating. Only good thing was server. She was polite and kept apologizing for kitchen's slowness. Doubt that I will visit again.

    My family and i went out for a fathers day dinner here. We made reservations using open table and was surprised that there wasnt much of a crowd. Upon entering we were seated immediately and that when my experience took a turn. Our waiter, who was very kind, took our drinks, soup and appetizer order. An hour later we recieved our drinks..... 30 minutes after that we were debating if we would ever get our apps. Eventually we asked if our apps were being made and our waiter said yes and disappeared. After an hour and 45 minutes our mozzarella sticks and calamari came out and we still did not recieve our soup. I then got upset and asked how long yhe entrees would take considering we all lost our appitite during the 2 hour wait. The manager felt the need to scream out cancel there order and said that they would not place our order for diner. All in all my fathers days dinner was ruined do ti the fact that we never recieved our dinner

    The food was not good. In fact, I think the steamer clams were spoiled. We waited so long for the food, at least 40 minutes for appetizers. The fried calamari was gray instead of white. The tripe was brown instead of white also. Overall a lousy Easter dinner. I've been going to Vincent's for many years, and unfortunately that will be the last time I ever go.

    Not only was the food amazing, but our waitress was kind, provided great suggestions and even offered us complimentary appetizers and after dinner drinks! Not sure if that is a standard practice or she liked our table, but we appreciated it a lot.

    My mother used to bring home "gravy" from Vincent's regularly when I was younger. We drove in from PA to have dinner and it was well worth the trip. The food was delicious and the service was awesome and friendly. We will definitely be going there again.

    This is a good place. The food and service are above average, but I do find it on the expensive side.

    Staff was nice. I had a very nice waitress I believe her name was Jamie. I had ordered the veal parmesan entree. I also had their delicious clam chowder. The veal parmesan had a lot of breading on it and was not the kind I was used to. It was very filling. It was different but good. The manager in the front was very personable and had a handle on the restaurant. I understand the stuffed artichokes are delicious but unfortunately I distracted my waitress so she did not have a chance to tell me about it. I will definitely go back there at some point.
