Vinoklet Winery & Restaurant 11069 Colerain Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45252

"Vinoklet hosted our wedding, and it was the prefect venue for us. The landscape was alive with color in late October, the landscape was a riot of color with oranges, golden browns, reds and greens. Some of our favorite wedding photos were taken under the long grape leaf covered arches. There were wonderful pastoral photos to be had in the fields for our first look. I was worried about what to do as some of our guests had limited mobility, but the winery had carts on hand to get family members and friends down the hill if they couldn't do steps. The on site coordinator made it easy for the musicians and DJ (who set up the sound system). The weather was perfect, but in the event of rain Vinoklet had a back up plan in place to host us in the event of rain in the gazebo. Our guests appreciated the bar opening early for us so we could lift a glass and start our celebrations a little early. They were a pleasure to work with and will certainly keep them in mind for any larger party we might want to throw."

"Very interesting restaurant! Slightly out-dated style in the restaurant. VERY LIMITED MENU and very expensive for what you get. Chicken dinner was $45 and you cook the meat yourself in a dimly lit cold room. The "flow" was also interesting as our party was just walking around looking for direction on what to do next. Food was decent. You do get a wine tasting and half bottle of wine (but if you don't drink- it's only $2 off the price). ALSO, they do not offer to-go boxes "because it's buffet style", per the staff however this is not buffet style at all. Very interesting. Also it is recommended you bring your own spices."

"Volunteered at a booth selling wine yesterday. Very laid back and welcoming environment. Beautiful property. This was my first time there so I'll plan to come back and enjoy it as a customer."

"Beautiful views. I just went there to watch the sunset. Did not partake in any of the food or wine this time. Great place for date night. Amazing views and outdoor seating."

"I was with a party of 5 with 4 of the people being their first time there. We had reservations and were so excited about tasting wine and cooking our food. We were immediately disappointed as we were told because of the small attendance and the start of lent we would not be cooking our food but would be served. (I counted 23 people and this was never mentioned when were placed our reservations). The experience started with wine tasting. We were given a 1 ounce cup, which was filled halfway by one server. We chose to taste the Premium wines and that server filled the 1oz. cup all the way up. (So depending on who you get, you could be short changed with the samples that are given). We paid for our meals and then was encouraged to come pick up our salad. They served iceberg lettuce that was limp and brown. We received four croutons, two tomatoes, two sliced cucumbers, a few olives and a teaspoon of onions, for our salad toppings. As we finished our salad, we were asked to come back to the table to pick up our meal, three of the meals were ready and two of the party was left standing and waiting to be served. For $86 (tip included) I felt they could have served us at our table since cooking our own food was not an option. We had Diana as the server and she appeared aggravated. Diana interaction was short, dry, and felt forced. The menu stated they were serving tiger shrimp but when we received our plate it looked more like salad shrimp. When we asked about this we were told, “That’s what they sent us”. We all requested a refund for the shrimp at this time. Three of us had the steak the other two the salmon. I ordered a medium well steak that was served burnt, the vegetables were cooked to mush, and the potatoes clearly came from a box. The manger was called and they did fix more vegetables but I declined the remaking of my steak and asked for a refund at this point. The 5 remaining people in my party received there cheese cake and was sorely disappointed with the poor quality of the dessert as well. All commented it was bland and the portion was more fitting for a small child. We spent $400 collectively and felt cheated. A person in my party drove 3 hours for this event and was cheated the full experience. The restaurant was clean, the service was horrible, and the meal was something anyone could have made at home with the mediocre ingredients. It was an over priced experience that left us knowing we would never return."
