    Food was excellent but the table was very uncomfortable to sit at and the lighting was so poor customers had to use their cell phones to see the menu. We had to use the cell phone to see our meal when it arrived. A bigger candlelight at the table would solve the problem.

    I was kind of disappointed in our late brunch. While the food was good, as usual, the service was definitely lacking. Not sure if it was our server or the presence of other large parties taking attention away, but I expected more from Vin Rouge.

    We had such fond memories dining there 5 years ago was excited to return when we were in the area. The service has slipped a bit. Waited an extra long time for our main course but the staff recognized the extended wait and sent over a complimentary dish for the table. Always nice to experience civilized European style service.

    There are no negatives in this review. Our waiter, Michael, was attentive and efficient. We asked him about the history of the building, and he knew all the details of it! Our food was superb, as usual. We dine here often and bring others.

    Fabulous - exceptional food, great service. It does end up a little pricey, but it's worth it.

    The trout is always perfect. We also had clams, potato soup, the house salad and burger. All were delicious. My girlfriend says it was the best burger ever.
