Vinnie's Steak House Tavern - Raleigh

The dinner choices are very limited to steak and Italian dishes. We dined in the colorful dining room which represented an atmosphere of wealth. The food was delicious with an entire platter full of your selections. I ordered the eggplant parmesan which tasted very fresh and authentic Italian. I brought home 3/4 of the meal. The platter could easily be shared by two people. The only downside is that the prices are a bit higher than average compared to other Italian restaurants. My advice is for patrons to share appetizers and meals and perhaps a dessert and then the prices are great.

I went for my birthday and I enjoyed the first time experience. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great too and the people were very welcoming

This was on my hub's list of local steakhouses to try based on a coworker's recommendation, so I saved it as a surprise for a birthday. My husband already knows how to cook a great steak at home (such as using sous vide methods), so our expectations were high. Service was impeccable, especially as they helped us navigate some dietary restrictions, and steaks were cooked to preference. It is a pricey treat so not an everyday thing for us, but worth the splurge for a special occasion. Looking forward to more special occasions that we can share with others, and opportunities to try more menu items.

My wife and I had dinner last night to celebrate my birthday. It was a wonderful experience. Our server, Valentina, was very friendly and on the ball at all times. They first brought out the complimentary starter deviled eggs, which we found delicious and unique. We began with an order of the okra which is only in season at this time of year. The portion was huge, so plan to share; the picture below shows an almost half eaten portion. Being from NC, I consider myself an okra aficionado, and this is the best I have ever eaten. Then we shared the Beefsteak Tomato special, which was very fresh, unique, and wonderful. I had the Delmonico steak prepared and seasoned perfectly, with just the right amount of crust on the surface of the steak. Since it was my Birthday, they offered me a complimentary dessert, and I chose their Blueberry Crostini. Chef Tom Armstrong came out to chat with us, answered all my wife's questions about how he makes the okra, and he shared how he visits the Farmers Market to pick out the vegetables personally. He came back out after they delivered the Crostini to see how I liked it. We had a fantastic time. This is a very special place for special occasions.

Vinnies is a really great steakhouse. Everyone knows. Everybody knows! Well, here's something people may not know that seafood is perhaps the best everywhere. The sea red tuna is exceptional. Every salad is amazing. How do you find the extraordinary tomatoes for the Caprese salad all year? Well, just wanted to make a review of Vinnies that contains seafood and salads. If you think of a great, special event destination, there is really something for everyone. Pescatarians and vegetarians can all enjoy an exceptional meal in Vinnies. Oh, and the onion rings are worth the calories! You're just so great. The bar also looks amazing We have made a lot of Vinnies during the pandemic when we wanted an amazing meal at home. Unlike some restaurant, they carefully and carefully package to go ordering in a way that they are beautifully presented. We love Vinnies!
