"We had a very enjoyable evening at Vincent’s, despite some less than perfect aspects to the experience. First, we had a bit of a hard time finding the place. When we asked a local guy who works at a bar nearby, he has not heard of it. We did eventually find the restaurant I would suggest a larger and more prominent sign. The restaurant ambiance is cozy, comfortable, maybe a bit old fashioned. There were some very loud and rude people near us that evening, which was entertaining and a little uncomfortable. The food was excellent! For starters we had fois gras, which was perfect, and the Apple/Camembert salad, also fantastic. For main courses we had the beef Bourgogne and a cassoulet made of duck, sausage, beans, and bacon. These entrees were rich, luxurious, “French comfort food”, and really delicious. The wine list was comprised of good options at fair prices. We had a Chateau Neuf du Pape and loved it. For dessert we had a creme brulee, wonderful. The service was well intended, but inexperienced. Our server could not offer recommendations on the menu, eventually confiding that she has not tried any of the items on the menu. We received a similar response to questions about the wine. That said, though, the service was attentive and respectful. In summary, this restaurant has potential to be great. The interesting venue, great food, homey ambiance are winners. Work on professionalizing the service knowing and promoting the menu, dealing with unruly customers, and showing more leadership in hosting the patrons, etc. and the place will be a winner!"
