Vino Vino & Salad

"I cannot rate the food because no one ever came over to take our order. I am actually very happy about that because Tao Tao Chinese restaurant was fabulous as usual. So, I had a reservation for 6pm. I showed up 5:45. The place was completely empty except for one couple in the back of the place. I walked over to a staff member and said I had a 6pm reservation and headed to the restroom. When I cMe out, I sat at a table by the front door. And waited for my (online) date to arrive. 20 minutes passed and the servers did not attempt to bring me water or ask me if I wanted anything. If I wasn't waiting for someone, I would have walked out. I finally walked up to the bar where they had prefilled reuseable water bottles. I asked them if the water was self serve sonce no one came over to ask me if I wanted anything. My date shows up and we talked for another 20 minutes and still no service. Of it was not a 1st date, I would have been rude AF. Instead, I flag the guy down and we order a glass of wine. We had a great time and the date conversation fabulous. We talked for another hour and still no one came back to see if we wanted food. So a couple hours later, the kitchen was about to close and then they decided to come over and ask if we wanted food. Seriously? This was so far from what I experienced here 5 years ago. It all makes sense why this place was completely empty. With this type of lack of service, I can understand why the place was empty. Oh and in this 2.5 hour conversation with my date, only one other couple came in. So that is horrible for a Friday night. We picked up our umbrellas and walked next door to Tao Tao. This place had no problem bringing in people on a super rainy Friday Night. It is also possible that the younger crowd is at the new Tipsy putt a block away enjoying cocktails and great food. I'll be there tomorrow so you can count on another review for them. Last, my date went well cause be are meeting up again tomorrow."

"Despite the (quantity of) meat and cheese tray being a bit underwhelming, it was all good quality and very delicious. It paired well with my wine. Service was a a tad slow but then again I wasn't in a hurry to get back to my hotel room that evening."

"Food quality as well the wine flight is great. Staff members are knowledgeable about the wines. Nice decor too, makes the place relaxing. I recommend this place if you are into wine tasting and lunch. -Ravi G."

"I went to Vino Vino for Valentine’s Day with my husband. Our experience was disappointing. It was a busy Friday night as we expected and there were only two waitresses working. They were friendly but were not attentive. We had to wave them down for every request. We sat near the kitchen and could see one of the chefs eating as he was preparing orders. The kitchen was a very messy workspace making cleanliness questionable. We both ordered flights of wine and the vino vino sampler. It appears as though they use sandwich meat that they put in the paninis on the sampler platter which was disappointing given the price of the platter. We visited Vino Vino a few years ago when they were new to Murphy Street. Our experience then was much more positive. Maybe management has changed since? It was a fun atmosphere despite the service."

"I am an avid wine drinker and this place was a bit disappointing. The ambiance is nice, see pics. The staff is friendly. The wine selection is not up to the competition. The local selection is is a good one but the wine selection is too narrow. There are no expensive selection options."
