I waited to write a review until after my third trip to Vin. Was afraid that the name change and thematic identity design crisis of patio fine dining in a strip center would translate into inconsistent, unispired food and bad service. Not the case at all. I've dined here with business partners, family members and friends and we have never had anything but delicious cuisine, fantastic wine and attentive service. These guys are at their best when you engage them. Love food? Ask to talk to the Chef and sit back and be impressed while he explains his food conceptually. Love wine but consider yourself a novice at pairing? This is the place to ask the questions. The location provides an inherent challenge as you'd never just stumble upon it and the apparent lack of a local marketing budget means the success rides entirely on word of mouth. I loved it, will be back and suggest you try Vin Bistro.

Pros: Great food, knowledgable staff, easy parking

Cons: Difficult location
