We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Vin Rouge and it was lovely. They thoughtfully put a discreet happy anniversary card on our table, and every single member of the wait staff wished us well. It was charming!

Our favorite restaurant in Durham. Great service as always. (Jax?). Anyhow, the portion size was noticeably smaller than our previous experiences. Not that there was any change in quality or flavor. Just… noticeable.

Love the noise level because we could dine without everyone listening to our private conversations and the food was better than being in France. And the new Monseratz water was a nice touch! Thank you, oh & our waitress was excellent!
