Seeing only 3 stars on yelp I got worried. But it was a great surprise how good the food was. Mussels were excellent, but it was the octopus that surprised me as this is not easy to cook. It was tender and you can actually taste the Italian olive oil they use. My Mahi sandwich was also awesome and esp. Their thin fries. Francesca the waitress was awesome with a stunning smile.

New Year's Day, and the boardwalk was bustling. Trying to figure out what to eat and saw another patron having pasta and had to try it out. Thank goodness we did! Although it was windy, the outdoor heaters helped a bit, and our server was able to give us hot tea, and a shot of bourbon, making my own hot toddy... have to say that the service was really good and attentive, and the food was extremely tasty, and plentiful. Had a nice time, in a nice environment, where we weren't rushed, and food was really good.

I loved my birthday experience at Vinnie's by the Sea The ambiance was so great. Loved the live music. Loved the recorded music session. The espresso i had was so delicious!!! Dessert was of course Tiramisu which was absolutely amazing. Great vibe. Really good food. Fried Calamari is always a huge favorite of mine.

I didn't come in for the food, but I wish I did because the seafood looked amazing. I came in for the vibe , live entertainment and drinks. I tried the boozy egg nog and a few others. These specialty drink were soooo good and strong. The server was awesome. Even though we only had drinks , the staff was friendly and welcoming. Would do it again. Pictured is my very large and strong egg nog drink. Try it!

The Vin burger was spectacular! Made with locally sourced beef, mushrooms, onions, pancetta paired with French fries. Great atmosphere.

I’ve been to Vinnie’s by the Sea a few times now and it’s one of those places that stays consistently good, which is rare in a beach town. The food always tastes fresh. Try the mozzarella and long hit pizza. Thin and super crispy The service is relaxed in a way that matches the setting but still attentive. It’s the type of spot you end up coming back to every trip because it never feels like a gamble - you already know the meal is going to be solid. Always make it a stop in lauderdale by the sea!

Amazing pizza ! Got the margarita and it was easily a 9/10 ! My favorite drink was the Hurricane and my girl loved the Paloma … service is amazing as well!

Matthew

Great food and awesome vibe. Live music started at 7pm. Crowded and fun. We split a pizza as an appetizer, was really really good! Then I had meatballs and spaghetti while my son had a rigatoni dish. Pasta excellent. Wine was great, and I tried their house beer which was really good as well. The staff is excellent and pride friendly fast service. Enjoy!

I had a pizza off lunch special menu. Freshly made, really lovely. Reasonably priced, great view and atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

Desiree Fuguet Calles

This was a great experience, outstanding service, fast and the food was delicious. We had Fried Calamari for appetizer, the we had the Lasagna, Linguine a la Pescattore (white) and one of the day’s specials Sea scallops over Angel hair pasta (I had this for myself and I think it was the best), everything was so so good, all my family was delighted. We enjoyed Happy Hour, they have it all 7 days until 7 pm, with half price drinks and some dishes at special price too, and we also enjoyed live music and what a great ambiance! We definitely will go back and recommend 100%!

Great pizza, service, calamari, and live music! 🩷

We’ve been to Vinnie’s for dinner and happy hour, happy hour being our favorite choice. The food is always outstanding but the service is top notch. With a full house, our server, Susan, was right on target; pleasant, and checking in often but not too much. Of all the staff at Vinnie’s, Susan is the BEST who we’ve have as our server many time and always above and beyond. You are lucky to have her Vinnie’s!

Absolutely amazing ‼️. Food was amazing, ambiance was perfect, and service was beyond compare. We had lobster, decadent bread, and perfectly brewed coffee. Nothing compares💓

I love this place! The BEST pizza, the food is great! Service is awesome! Every time we are in town this is our first place we stop…

Phenomenal food! The seafood is to die for. And they have gluten free pasta options! Our server, Ricky was very nice and made our experience!

Awesome food , get the 1/2 chicken special on Fri nt, or the bone in veal, both are amazing !

Absolutely amazing. Service was great, thanks Scott!! And the pizza & oysters Rockefeller were incredible. They buy the flour from Italy for the pizza and it's very light and thin. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Seriously highly recommend. Great happy hour deals too.

Had an awesome night here with an amazing singer by the name of Nikki Kidd. If ever you see her advertised you MUST go see her 👀❤️👌🙌. Our sincere apologies to the very handsome barman who's name we didn't get...we weren't doing a runner honest, I was a bit too merry and didn't realise my partner hadn't paid the bill. We will definitely be back to see you when we're next over from the UK

My favorite place in Lauderdale by the sea. Nice place for happy hours and good foods. Highly recommend.

Service was great both times that we went. Drinks were good!

Five stars isn’t enough! Vinnie’s in Fort Lauderdale completely exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and served with care. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was Scott. From the moment we walked in, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. His genuine hospitality and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs the entire time. If you’re looking for amazing food paired with top-tier service, look no further. We’ll definitely be back—thanks for everything, Scott!

I really enjoyed this place. They have good happy hour specials from like 5-7 and live music (at least when I was there). My kids liked the pizza and I ordered the meatball sub.

Linsey and Brian the bartenders are the best in South Florida. Great drinks and food.

Merry Christmas! Vinnies was incredible yesterday. Friendly service, great location, and the most important aspect was the quality of the servings. I ordered what may sound as a vanilla option from their extensive menu being penne pasta covered in their house blended meat sauce, with a side of their specialized Brussels. So good soo good We walked in unannounced around 1pm on Christmas day and we were immediately taken care of by their great staff. Wine, beers, and omg garlic bread(best I've ever had). Then came the entrées.. everyone was pleased to say the least. Just an overall A+ Next time we wander over from swfl again we will be following the dinner bell back to Vinnies.

An amazing place near the beach. Shrimp scampi was the best! Always a happening spot at Lauderdale by the Sea.

My family and I tried this place for lunch yesterday. Not only was the food great and the waitress excellent, they also had a lasagna dip, where the insides of a normal lasagna were put into a bowl and the lasagna noodles fried into chips for dipping. I had never heard of this before and it is a brilliant concept. It was superb in taste as well. Would definitely go back.

Been there 3 times The lasagna dip out of this world. The Pizza,meat balls and rice balls were fantastic.The service was fast and good thanks to Dawn,Trey and Oren

Usually I stay away from places that are named after me but I came here because my wife wanted pizza and I'm glad she was craving it. The scappa transported me back in time to nanas home cooking.The layers of flavor from the olive, sausage and peppers was a perfect match with the WHOLE chicken on the bone. Pizza was killer too, nice and thin just perfectly charred. Live music on Wednesdays and Mondays that features some 50s really sets the tone at this more than a pizza joint on the beach.

It was my first time here at Vinnie's. It was a group of us that stopped in for a few drinks before heading home and wound up staying a few hours. They had a DJ that played all genres of music. I had a great time and if you live on Miami it'll be a nice change of pace from the bar scene down there.

Vinnie's in Lauderdale by the sea is a must-visit! The wood-fired lemon, rosemary, evoo & garlic wings were delicious and the staff was incredibly welcoming. A great spot for tasty food and great service! #vinniesbythesea #lauderdalebythesea #foodie #wingslovers #review #reviews #RestaurantReviews

Pizza from the oven, homemade mozzarella, gnocchi! Fresh and delicious dishes!

Vinnie's is by the beach, but has a local, chill vibe... They have live music 7 nights a week, and an awesome $7 hamburger special on Monday nights. Our service was ok, but the excellent manager stepped in to make sure everything was perfect. We had the hamburger special and a dozen delicious oysters, definitely recommend. (Note: they do a nice job keeping everything pleasant while accommodating the current covid restrictions)

Real Good food at somewhat affordable prices for the area. We had half a dozen oysters on the half shell. Delicious, briny and fresh. The Rice Balls, good. The sauce was the star of that dish. And the New England Clam “Chowda”. Damn good, wish I could make it that good myself at home. For entrees I had the Snapper Piccata. Really good, the fish was fresh and the sauce was Excellent. The wife had the Mahi BLT. She liked it, it was a strange mix of pancetta, arugula, tomatoes, balsamic mayo that actually worked.

Our go to place for excellent Italian food, fresh cocktails and live entertainment. Lauderdale by the Sea's true gem. Tonight, we both had happy hour Oysters Rockefeller appetizers and Sunday Sauce. Outstanding! Our server Tony was prompt and accommodating, Lauren Carter has the pipes and sang her heart out, what a great evening. Don't leave LBTS without dining here. Owners are wonderful, on site and making sure everyone is happy. Love it!!!

Best Happy Hour!! $1 oysters and $ 1 clams and the clams were gigantic and tasty!! Great wine selection and service. My friend had the most amazing brick fired pizza with prosciutto on top. It was so crispy. The location is just a block from the ocean in Lauderdale by the Sea. This is one of my new favs!

Good place to eat. We had the Philly cheese and Mahi fish sandwiches. Both very good. Service was good.

It's not just a restaurant-bar, it's an experience! With the live music at night get ready to sing along! They keep the drinks coming all night long! If you want some really good Italian food and seafood at amazingly low prices, then you need to check out Vinnie's! The hostess & staff is professional and very friendly.

Unbelievably good pizza and if you want some amazing New England sea food this is the place! Best food by far in the area

Not only was the food incredible, oysters, wings, pizza, calzones and the meatballs, But the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The Live music and atmosphere made a perfect evening for my family.

Best Italian restaurant in this cute little beach town! We sat at the bar where the bartenders prepared fresh oysters and were full of fun banter. Everyone has a smile on their face because the atmosphere is so lively. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, order it all! There are no pepperonis for their pizzas. Instead, they offer a very spicy salome and wow was it an intense treat! I normally don't like meatballs but they were incredibly tasty here. The live musician was playing bass and singing over instrumental tracks. He was phenomenal. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

Had a great time here, enjoyed the food and the service was awesome. Will be back.

Delicious food, superb martinis 🍸. Went between 5-7 "happy hour'. Fast & pleasant service. My daughter had gluten free pasta with broccoli & chicken, perfect👌. Had the shrimp scampi🍤.Shredded ribeye and onions served with shoestring fries . Arugula salad with parmesan cheese and lemon dressing.Reasonable prices & generous portions. Love the atmosphere! Music playing. Indoor & outdoor seating. Always a great spot in Fort Lauderdale "By the Sea".

Twice now we've been to Vinnie's, and twice we've been seated at the sidewalk tables quickly, had great meals, and fabulous service. The food is stellar, and the people watching is top notch for the area. Commercial Ave has all kinds of things going on, and this is a great place to come enjoy it while relaxing over a great meal!

Been coming here for many years and this place is my favorite in the area. Huge selection of dishes, and every one is as tasty as it gets. Welcoming staff and great atmosphere. Wife selection of oysters and crab (when in season). Love it.

What a fun place. Good music and the best clams and spaghetti I have had in a long time.

Absolutely a blast and fantastic food. A local recommendation and it was not let down. Pizza was amazing staff was fabulous. What else do you need in a dinner? Highly recommended a stop at Vinny’s

Great place to eat on the beach. Good Italian food. I had the clams. We also brought a pizza, was delicious. It came with white cheese and prosciutto. The restaurant was packed, but Maria the owner made sure that we had a place to sit. James our waiter took good care of us. He was on top of it. They also had a band which played good music. It was a little chilly but they had the fire lamps outside to keep you warm.

Quality well made risotto balls, Meatballs, wood fire pizza oven, hand crafted dough, talented staff, chefs, management, live music & we'll run! Everything for reasonable prices! Yummy yes yummy 😋♥️

Vinnie's by the sea, Italian Restaurant next to the beach on Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. You have to come here not only for the food, but the ambiance, the live music ( single performer), the whole customer experience, WOW. Full disclosure i am not a pasta lover, nor a bread lover. But I'll try all types of foods, and this experience was off the charts, amazing. I regret not taking pictures of the property which i normally do, apologies. You can sit outside/ inside walking from the street right in. Medium size restaurant, excellent decor, staff match shirts. Come with friends/ family/ yourself either way you'll enjoy it. Sat at the bar, staff was pleasant, friendly, approachable eventho it was super busy. Started with an app that it was so good that i had a 2nd serving, octopus carpaccio a masterpiece of arugula, evoo (extra virgin olive oil), red onions, lemon, the octopus was thinly sliced very delicately, and accompanied with droplettes of aioli ( olive oil, garlic, and a taste of salt). For the main course there were options that i wish i can taste all of them. Well, i selected the linguine pescatore (pasta a bit larger than spaghetti and seafood) in white sauce, what a treat. It had clams, shrimp, mussels, calamari, and to make it awesome ordered the brick oven flat bread baked to order (the oven is right in the restaurant visible to all) topped with evoo, you can not eat just one. I had no room for dessert, bummer. There are lots of options here, including whole wheat/ gluten free pasta. Protein and non-protein eaters have plenty of options. I'll come back again.

Good drinks and happy hour specials. The dinner was excellent. Calamari was cooked just right for the appetizers. Pizza is made fresh in the wood fired oven. The chicken Parmigiano and eggplant Parmigiano was excellent. Did not need to order the pasta as a side dish. Would recommend going here for happy hour and also dinner. We will go back the next time we are in town.

I loved that more than one person made sure that you were taken care of you and the server is not overloaded. We kept ordering cause the food was so good and didn’t break our pocket. We should’ve ate there the first 3 days of being there instead of the other places. Drinks were strong just like I like it!!!

This is one of my favorite places in LBTL! Lively place with great music and people. Pizza was delicious! During my last visit, the buffalo wings were not fully cooked so we send it back but they did take care of the problem right away. Thank you, looking forward to next time!

The menu is extensive but the food was high quality and well presented. I had to try the Tiramisu and a cappuccino after having the veal chop parmigiana and it did not disappoint. Great job, I'm glad they were open past 10:00 on a weekday .

This was a delightful experience. They have great pizza and Chicken parmesan sandwichs. Those are the 2 items we had although they have much more. There was a live band and singing and dancing going on at the front side of the restaurant and sidewalk. It was great entertaining and fun to watch. I would definitely go back here again.

Spent some time at Vinnie’s on our last day of our vacation. We had a great time and our bartender/server Brian did a excellent job. He made us some excellent drinks. The food and service is outstanding and they have some live entertainment too. Must visit when you are in Fort Lauderdale.

Restaurant owners in from out of state. Hands down five big star experience ALL Around!! Only In town for 36 hours and dined here three times!! Yall are doing a great job!

Great food and fantastic service! The servings are generous and we had leftovers for lunch. This was our favorite place to eat during our stay in Lauderdale by the Sea.

I found a very laid back and cool spot to take a break and stop for a cold brew. 🍺. I met some friendly nice people who enjoy life and aren't afraid to share on their experiences. The little thing's in life are usually the most beneficial. Thank You Vinnie's and Ladies for the stella attitude & service, like a little slice of home for this guy. P.S. With a small walk, his place boasts some of the best back yard space you ever see want to be in. Enjoy... ✌

The pizza was phenomenal the best we've had!! Patty was out waitress and she was a delight!! We look forward to coming back one day ❤️

This place is fabulous. Great food, great vibes and we had the most amazing server named Eda Francesca. Darling woman who is so fun to talk to, seems like she really loves her job. Made the whole experience exceptional. We came back the following day and had her as our server again because we loved it so much!

I have been eating at Vinnie's occasionally for a while now, the happy hour oysters during the week, the pizza is fantastic, I have really never been with anyone that had any negative comments on the food. They have a super friendly hostess that greats you with a huge smile and friendly banter as she guides you to your table, making sure you get the right table, inside or out, close to the music or away from it for better conversation....Last night we went (2 of us) and had a great waitress named Kelly, I had not had her before, she went above and beyond for anything we needed and said she would love to serve us again and be sure to ask for her by name when we came next time. That is even before she saw the tip (which of course was excellent to match the service!!!, I believe in taking really good care of the people that serve us, they are on their feet all shift, they work hard , they have to deal with people that are hungry and thirsty ! The beach vibe here in LBTS (Lauderdale by the Sea) is awesome. So I will continue coming here, it checks all the boxes, good food, good service, good ambiance....Hats off to the management here, they run a really great place and well trained and selected staff, even the staff that bus the tables, etc. super friendly and quick with a smile wishing you a pleasant evening. Keep it up!!!

Very nice place, with delicious food and great people. We are eating here 3 days in a row, pizza, pasta, burgers and beer. Everything is delicious. In the evening live music.

This place has good food and almost good service but considering they are so busy , I am OK with all of it... Octopus carpaccio is very good

Outdoor seating was nice. Our waitress Debbie was great. She knew the menu and made excellent recommendations. Food didn't take too long and was delicious! Prices were reasonable. Will definitely go back!

From the moment we walked in, the hostess greeted us with warmth and made us feel incredibly welcome. Her inviting personality definitely influenced our decision to dine there, and we're so glad we did.The atmosphere was fantastic great music, lively entertainment, and positive vibes all around. The energy in the restaurant was contagious, with everyone enjoying themselves, dancing, and having a great time. We also thoroughly enjoyed the food both the pizza and calamari were absolutely delicious. The service was quick, and our waiter was friendly and attentive. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and experience. Overall, we had a wonderful time at and we’ll definitely be returning in the future! Highly recommend.

I had a pizza off lunch special menu. Freshly made, really lovely. Reasonably priced, great view and atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

Absolutely loved our evening here. They have amazing Happy Hour specials. The service was top notch and food was delicious.

Stopped here while out for a walk and an espresso martini. Staff were great as was the service. Live entertainment that was excellent. Food looked great.

FINALLY!!! A pleasant experience at Vinnie’s! My husband & I went to Vinnie's 10/13/25 @ 7pm & for the first time we actually enjoyed dinning at the restaurant. We live LBTS, usually order take out because historically dining in the restaurant is such a terrible exp, d/t the loudness of the music/singer, it over powers the food. Last night the volume for the singer was turned down, my husband & I could chat & hear eachother!! We had some of our favorite dishes, enjoyed the singer & left without our eardrums ringing!! We are not old (our teenage daughters refuse to dine there), we simply like good food & a pleasant atmosphere…hopefully Vinnie’s keeps the volume down so we can come back. Our faves: meatball, bread, Cesar, clams casino, tagliatelle pasta, oysters, pizza

Great pizza, service, calamari, and live music! 🩷

Was our first time here. Drink specials from 12-4 daily (1/2 off). My friend had several things from the raw bar that she said was very good. I just had a simple Caesar salad that was good. We both enjoyed margaritas a well. Seating available inside and outside. It's not "on the beach" but just about a half block away. Tons to eat, drink, and shop in the area. I don't think it would be a bad choice for you to consider. Give it a try!

The service was amazing I wish I wld have taken more pics. But I will next time 😉

Vinnie’s!! Absolutely the highlight of our 10 day trip to Fort Lauderdale! We ate here Every Night of our 10 days and never once did it disappoint! Being greeted by the beautiful Hostess, Stacy. Can’t say enough good things about her! She is calm and collected and so professional as she quickly accommodates huge crowds at ease. The staff are friendly and welcoming and so attentive! Got our food so fast! Met the owner, Vinnie, who made us feel like we’d been friends for years! The atmosphere is Amazing with beach views and the live music every night with great talent makes for an experience every visit instead of just a meal. We feel like we have become great friends with them All! And consider them Family! The food is outstanding! So many delicious choices to choose from! Highly recommend the spaghetti and meatballs, house bread, Gorgonzola dressing, buffalo chicken wings, steak and garlic potatoes, lettuce wedges, Meatball pizza was amazing along with all the other Delish pizza options! Happy hour daily is a must with half price drinks! Definitely an amazing experience and Highly recommend to Everyone and can’t wait to return! 5 Star Plus!!!

New York themed Italian restaurant. The food is good as well as the service.

I stopped to have a drink and have an appetizer, it turned out that my husband and I stayed for a couple of hours, we had an appetizer that was delicious. We ordered the meatball pizza and the Sunday special that was amazing. Susan was our waitress, she was so friendly and to helpful. I will definitely come back again.

Anastasia is a sweetheart! Geniune and mindful. Fantastic bartender. We stopped many nights this trip and will be back. The food was great too!

Love the place. Great wings, pizza, meatballs and steamers. Even the clam chowder was terrific and I'm from Boston the home of clam chowder. Fun music all night with the singer getting the entire bar up and dancing. Best of all the legendary Greg is back. Without question the best waiter in all of South Florida!! He has a loyal following among all of us in Massachusetts!! Bottom line, when in Lauderdale by the Sea, enjoy the great food and entertainment and don't forget to look for Greg!

Visited this restaurant during the holiday. We sat outside and for an early dinner we had a Margherita pizza and linguine with meat sauce. The pizza was brick oven cooked and thin crust. The linguine came with fresh Mozarella and sauce had three types of meats. It was deliciou, since the weather was cool we ordered teas and spiced up with bourbon.

Visited on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised by the lively atmosphere—pretty busy for a weeknight, which speaks volumes. The live music added a really nice touch and created a welcoming vibe. The food was good, flavorful, and satisfying. Service was okay—not bad, but could’ve been a bit more attentive. Overall, a solid spot with great ambiance and a fun midweek energy.

We found this place on vacation last year and had a great experience. We came back this year with friends, and the service we received left a lot to be desired. We were seated with 5 minutes left for their Happy Hour specials. We asked if we could take advantage of the specials and were told yes. We proceeded to order 2 dozen raw oysters and a dozen Rockefeller along with drinks for our party of 6. After about 10 minutes, our waitress came over and said she didn't get the order in fast enough and we could not get the Happy Hour specials. This seemed really off, but we kept out order as is. Later, when ordering our entrees, my wife asked for a side of Alfredo sauce and was flat out told no, we don't do that. This is an Italian restaurant. Certainly, they could have somehow come up with a side of Alfredo. We weren't asking for it for free. The bad services aside the oysters were excellent and the food was very good.

Gabby was an amazing server and very understanding. We sat outside, the only issue was the birds constantly Coming near the food. Happy hour is the best time to go Since they have half all drinks and $20 1 dz oysters. The day we went was perfect weather and the food was phenomenal. We had gnocchi, zucchini fritters, rice balls (had cheese), penne pasta with broccoli and garlic oil and spaghetti with broccoli and fettuccine. We had the lemon drop martini, strawberry daiquiri and casa amigos with pineapple.

Stopped in for happy hour before heading to dinner. Great service and fun atmosphere!

Great location. Not open too late on a weekday during my visit in early January. Tried the Margherita pizza and my husband had the lasagna. Both tasted great. Restaurant is a bit pricey but the food tastes good.

12/01/18- went at 4:00pm place was busy inside and out . We had a couple of glasses of wi e. Then we ordered the piazza that had ricotta cheese project white pizza they weren’t cheap on anything was very tasty with the thin crust . Plus plenty of fresh baby arugula . 9/16/18- HH on Sunday too. Lots of TV’s. Tried the rice balls . Four nice size in a red sauce and a sprinkle of Parmigiana Cheese on top . 8/31/18- wow busy all HH thru out the whole restaurant plus great music playing a horn sound great. Orders the Piazza with prosciutto and arugula.. I just wish there was a little Virgin olive oil or n top of salad. Melissa the bartenders is stop on, so is the other girl . Working hard.

Food was good. Service little messy. Got our food before our drinks. To be fair it was busy. Atmosphere was very lively.

Very Italian look and feel type restaurant. Went on a Friday night and sat at the bar. Place was busy and had live music. Place was clean and service was good. Anastasia was very polite and informative about the drinks and food. Ordered the Brooklyn cocktail, good bourbon drink. I wasn’t impressed with the food, presentation was nice but just felt the two main dishes were bland. Neither of them were finished. Zucchini fritters have cheese in them which was ok. I’d try this place again and either update my review or leave it the same. More of a 3.75

Fantastic vibe, live music, excellent selection of oysters, very good Italian food. Meatballs are delicious, linguini pescatore is also a winner with a lot of seafood. Nice selection of wine. Delicious desserts - Nutella cake is amazing. Great service, very friendly staff who listen to you and make good recommendation s based on your tastes.

Festive, fun Italian happy hour with live music. The guy was singing Neil Diamond as we were being seated in the outdoor section. We ate off the happy hour menu. I had the 3 meatballs for $10 because it seemed like the perfect choice for a Sunday dinner. My friends had the clams casino and pizza, and we ordered bread for the table. One friend indulged in the pretty in pink Rum Runner. The meatballs were delicious ! Our waitress was wonderful. The area was crowded with music in almost every venue - great Sunday evening treat !

Food is always very good. Show me the staff is very pleasant.And then some of the staff are not very friendly , depending on the day. Staff seems to be micromanaged very easily. Go early if you want a seat.

Food came super quick at the side bar, slow to order got bartenders attention. Happy Hour apps, off the charts!! Will come back. Block away from beach. Great location.

Food was OK, really not that good. Probably would skip most of what we ordered if we ever go back. The oysters and stone crab was good mainly because the kitchen didn't have to cook it. Service was good when you could get the server's attention. Other times there were long lags in seeing our server, even when we were ready to order another round of drinks. Then forced into a minimum 20% tip. Service wasn't worth 20%. And the place only a quarter full, it just should have been better. OK - so the tip is not automatically added to the check. But the minimum amount option is 20%, without going through some convoluted way to change it. Interesting that you chose to address that, but not the quality of the food and service.

But the minimum amount option is 20%, without going through some convoluted way to change it. Interesting that you chose to address that, but not the quality of the food and service.

The garlic bread is a must - but unfortunately it costs $5 extra (almost double the $6 price) to get mozzarella on it, which really seals the deal. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, which was oversized but decent. My biggest issue with the experience was the volume of the interior of the restaurant. Absolutely impossible to hear anything, so sitting outside is almost made mandatory.

Went to Vinnie's all of last season for Dolphins games. They had draft beer specials. No draft beer specials this season so we left to find a new place to watch the games. For those interested I recommend Pier 14.....

I had a to go order and it was quick. A bit loud but nice. Ordered meatballs and a salad. The meatballs were WAY over done. The outsides were burned and the inside was so dry. Could barely cut with a knife. Yet, the red sauce was amazing! The salad was average - lettuce fresh, cheese generous yet only 10 croutons. There was a container of butter, but no bread. $35 too much for what I got.

Went to Vinnie's on Xmas Eve for dinner. It was busy and the wait staff was not equipped to keep up with the flow of orders from different tables. Had to wait a long time for service after securing a table. Upside is that the food was very good. We ordered the calamari, bread, stone crabs, and oysters. All met or exceeded expectations. The bread is cheesy-garlic goodness and well worth a trip. You pay for parking. Some nice options for food and drink. Just don't go on a holiday.

Margarita pizza was great, thin crispy crust, wonderful cheese (mozzarella made in house), fresh basil on top. Mussels smelled and tasted like urine. They were spoiled. Music was way too loud inside and even loud outside. Very annoying, hard to hear anyone. Close to the beach. Somewhat expensive.

I had the diner special of swordfish. Not 1 vegetable came with it. I asked for some broccoli which came when I was finished and they charged me $13 extra. If your going to charge $50 odd for a simple dinner and beer, at least have the decency to include some vegetables l. Service, atmosphere and food were all good otherwise

I'm a local and have been coming here for several years. Normally, Susan is our waitress and is awesome. We got a different waitress and she told me to use a credit card to pay the bilil, I have to pay a fee. I informed the waitress it's a debit card. She ran it through as a credit card and it charged the fee. I informed her it should not have charged and she just said, "All I do is run it through.". I'm not going to return since they charge a fee to use a debit and credit card and this waitress was not as good as Susan, so it was a turn off. Good-bye.

Had huge amount black hair in my food tonight , my daughter didn’t even want to eat her plate after she saw what came out of mine, they took only mine off even though my daughter didn’t touch hers … why would she after I had hair in my pasta !!! No manager came no nothing our server was a sweetheart and did all she could still tipped her! Tne fact I had to pay for food we didn’t eat on your mistake is actually wild. Do better
