There was something I wanted to order for dinner that was not on the menu for Christmas Eve, but is available to any other day that I wanted to have for Christmas Eve. I was disappointed that I couldn’t have what I wanted, but what I ordered was OK.

We were not impressed with the food. Three people ordered Lobster bisque and it was watery and no one ate more than a few bites. You have to pay for bread. The filet was just ok and the salmon was good but not great. The bills came and the waiter had put one persons food on another persons bill. Use to love this place but we will not be going back. Too expensive for this kind of meal and service.

I love everything about this place but the food. Which is sad. It’s just not as good as it once was. The kitchen needs help. They are sending out medicore food.

We had terrible service last night. Our server did not communicate well, the person who delivered our food essentially threw it onto the table in front of us, my order was wrong - food allergy was not accommodated and I had to repeatedly ask them to fix it appropriately after struggling to even get a server’s attention. I’ve been to Vinny’s many times over the years and never had this bad of an experience. I will likely not go back based on this experience.

Truly good food and service to match. Vinny’s menu is a cut above most of the newer popular restaurants in Alpharetta.

This was our first visit back in 5-7 years. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food, freshness and menu diversity. The cocktails were spot on and the wine selection impressive.
