    We were at a stopover in Durham and booked the Vin Rouge for an early 5:30 dinner. Parking was a little hard, probably because of a wedding being held there. Other than the air being a little cool, the atmosphere was great. We had the mussels as an app and they were some of the best we’ve ever had with a very aromatic creamy sauce! Enjoyed a very good French martini with them. The bread and olive tapenade was delicious as well. We both ordered the trout almandine and it was delicious! Service was great as well!

    Step out of the US and into France. From the moment we pulled up, we were charmed. The atmosphere directly in the front door felt like a family was there to graciously serve you. The menu inspire us to choose too many plates and our waiter was kind enough to split servings for us to share rather than over order. The bread came with Kalamata olive spread. The cheese tray was a lovely blend. The onion soup was perfectly balanced. The beet salad was flavorful. Our main dishes were delightfully seasoned and perfectly cooked, although we couldn’t complete them. As we were celebrating an anniversary, they gifted us with dark chocolate mousse garnished with sea salt and walnuts. We will be back. It was a perfect experience.

    We had a great time, as always. What particularly shines at Vin Rouge is the exceptional service. Spencer was excellent. We appreciated the care with the birthday at our table.
