   We had a ball, the food was great, but the real win was being so attentively cared for by our server, Faith. She was very knowledgeable about the food and made sure that we felt comfortable and had a lovely experience, without hovering. The rest of the staff also made sure the temperature was right, and our needs were met. Had a lovely time and really enjoyed our first meal at Vin Rouge. High expectations met.

   Delicious French country dishes! Try the mussels, the duck frisee salad or the oyster selection! Nice specials too.

   Quite possibly one of the best nights of my life. The staff made this so special and help my family make a memory we will never forget. Transformative dining experience!

   The feel of Vin Rouge is of an old Parisian bistro, perfectly charming. The service was top-notch! A more than adequate wine list. All the menu items were good. Some outstanding, such as the caramelized onion tart appetizer. Same for the chocolate mousse. The bouillabaisse was good, as was the Halibut special, but neither were five star—I would give them four stars. All in all, a very pleasant evening. I would recommend to folks visiting Durham. The place was busy on a Thursday night—it is popular!

   On Valentine's Day, the shrimp sauce didn't quite go when tasted with the salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The sauce was very enjoyable. But together didn't... neither was enhanced. Otherwise it was overall a good experience.

   In all of the years I’ve been dining at Vin Rouge, I have never had one single, less-than-outstanding experience, and this Valentine’s Day was no exception. The prix fixe menu choices were awesome, as usual, and our server Roy was excellent. Everything was perfect.

   I have waited many years and tried many places looking for the next level dining experience and I am happy to say that Vin Rouge delivered and then some. I have seen the light and it is glorious! The Restaurant itself is laid out beautifully, with several different rooms that have their own distinct flavor and mood. Whatever your desired experience they have the facilities to accommodate for that which you search. We dined in the Red Room and amid lulls in conversation were able to lapse into a happy silence. In these lulls we were able to appreciate the soft susurrus of conversation interplayed with the tasteful jazz played low in the background. The lighting was dim and perfect for an intimate affair. The decor was lovely and nary an inch of the walls in that room were left open from decoration, something too be appreciated when you allow your eyes to drift around your surroundings. Allez, Allez! Onto the food and wine! We had never been to Vin Rouge and aimed to taste our way through their food and wine with gusto, we did that and then some! We sampled the chevre and sweet onion tart, delectable in its own right and it gave the Onion Soup a run for its money as the perfect starter. The Tart was my partners favorite dish of the entire night.. Moving into our Midcourse we tried the Escargot and Frisee and Lardon salad. Both of which were served beautifully. For our main courses I had the Entrecot de Porc and my partner tried the Salmon. The Pork chop was cooked masterfully. Double cut, the chop had attained a crispy char to the outer fat layer that was eye rolling delicious and a perfect accompaniment to the sweet tanginess of the cider braised cabbage. The cabbage must be a play on choucroute and I have to say it was one of my favorite preparations on the dish I have ever tried. Silky pommes puree brought a lovely foil to the rich, smokiness of the pork chop and the bright acidity of the braised cabbage. I'd write more but I've run out of room! 5 out of 5!

    The food was delicious including the black bass fish special and the potato soup. Our server was incredible. I was disappointed with such a small selection of wines by the glass.
