    We are from out of town but always try to dine at VIN Rouge if we are in town.. Food and service are always top notch! The salmon and Lentils dish was one of the best dishes I have had in a long time! Meghan our server was just wonderful! Give that girl a raise!

    It was fantastic. Everything was exactly as we ordered. My hanger steak was wonderful. My wife had the trout amandine and it was excellent. She’s had it before and it didn’t disappoint. We eat there about twice a year, as it is a little bit of a distance, but it has always been great.

    Superb food and service, as always. We wished only for less heavy meal offerings on such a hot summer night. A few summer menu offerings, please?

    Our beet salad, chicken liver pate, shrimp, and hamburger were delicious, as was the chardonnay and beer. The special gnocchi not so much - mushy, salty, not enough veggies.

    Food was extremely good, and the value was fair for the quality. However, it was hotter inside the restuarant than it was outside. Multiple people were sweating due to this and it just became very uncomfortable. I am sure visiting in the winter or cooler months is much more pleasant. We would totally eat there again because the food and service was amazing.

    The food was very good, as usual, but the area we were seated in, near the bar, was uncomfortably noisy (from the bar) & the tables awkwardly close together.
