   We ordered 2 glasses of red wine, gin and tonic and a soda. He came back handed us what we ordered then set another glass of wine and said I poured this by mistake. He then charged us!

   I am not sure what happened to the cook and bartender...both were not up to par as the previous visits. The food was expensive and just mediocre. I do not mind paying top dollar if the meal is delicious. The service was great, my waitress, Monica, was amazing.. service is definitely not lacking, it is superb. They need to fix the food issue.

   Second time there. I won’t be back for the price as the food is overpriced and bland.

   Vinny’s Clam Bar has great food and a lively atmosphere! The Baked Clams Chipotle was an amazing appetizer, and everything we ordered was delicious. The valet parking was a nice touch, making arrival and departure easy. The live DJ was a really nice addition, adding to the fun vibe of the place. However, the only downside was our seating location—we ended up near the kitchen entrance, which was way too busy with staff constantly passing by and shouting “corner” every time they turned. It made for a bit of a chaotic dining experience. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Vinny’s for the food and atmosphere, but I’d suggest requesting a table away from the kitchen entrance for a more relaxed meal. Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes! 🍽️🐚🎶

   Great food as usual. The wood fired oysters were a little small and some were missing their oysters.

    From the time you walk in and see the jumbo shrimp and oysters on the open fire grill, you know you are in for a tantalizing experience! The service was on point, on time and absolutely welcoming. Our waiter and the team that worked with him throughout the night were amazing. Every bite of food and every sip of our cocktails complimented one another and our waiter was so well versed in the menu and assisted us in choosing the best experience for us. Downtown quality and service 15 minutes from home is the perfect recipe for my family to come back and make this one of our new neighborhood faves! Kudos to all of you!!!!
