Amazing atmosphere. And that’s where amazing ends. Average food… below average service. The Ribeye was 25% fat and tough. Odd for a Ribeye. After sipping the first taste of the wine, I sad, «Very nice. Pour away» The waiter set the bottle down on the table and walked away. I guess its better if the customer pours it themselves. Crab cake appetizer was lots of cake… very little crab. When the waiter(Kendrick) asked if I was done with my meal, I said«Thats a lot of fat for a Ribeye, I’m surprised the chef didnt trim it, or pick another piece of meat». The waiter smiled and said«Yeah, that’s weird.» To his credit he did ask if I wanted something else, like dessert. Although I thought he might say something to the manager. I received no apology and no credit. Perhaps I expected too much when you drop $ 150.00. I won’t be back… ever. «Disappointed»…is an understatement.

Been here many times over the past few years. Always excellent. Don’t let some of these reviews fool you, Patio seating quite an experience, Main dining pleasurable. If you want VIP sports atmosphere dinning, sports lounge is the way to go. Going to surprise my wife for her birthday with their fantastic brunch tomorrow.

Good spot for lunch or dinner. Nice sports bar and very nice atmosphere. The food is above average and the service good. Took Mom for Mother’s Day day and we enjoyed it. The Salmon burger and Mahi sandwich are good and healthy portions. Pasta a insanity is also a tasty house special for the vegans. It will have you dribbling and slam dunking.

Went here for dinner, with family that came in, from out of town. From the time we sat down, until we left, it was the worst dining experience ever! 1st. We were short silverware, never was asked if we needed any, nor did we get any. My husband had to get some from a empty table. 2cnd.We ordered appetizers, the crab cakes. We got them, they had a strong fish smell, that i didn’t understand, but we ate some of them, and found that they were loaded with, tuna fish! Really? 3rd. We had ordered soup and salads, and my vegetable beef soup, let’s just say, WHERE’S THEBEEF? It was full of ground meat, and no real soup beef, as I was told by our waitress it had real stew beef in it. 4th. As we were eating our salads and soup, our waitress comes up with our dinner plates and slides them on the table right next to our salad plates, and walks away. #1 rule, and I waitressed for 10 yrs.“you never bring the actual dinner plate out, until you take the salad plates off the table”. So why we finished our salads, our dinner, was sitting there getting cold. And my husband ordered surf n turf, never was offered a steak knife, nor was 1 brought to him. His lobster tail, was actually, NOT a lobster tail, it was more like the crab cake, we had ordered for the appetizers. Same fishy smelling, tuna fish taste. No resemblance or taste of an actual lobster tail. Very dissatisfied! The other meals, pasta way overcooked, and very bland. Last… but not least. …while we were sitting there, eating our meals and talking to each other, here cones the waitress again, with 3, to go container’s, asking us if we would be taking our food home, as she’s handing us, these to go containers! How rude of her and may i add, Very poor waitresseing skills!(Crystal) We Will Never Go Back Here! THESERVICEANDTHEFOOD, WASTHEWORSTEVER! MY suggestion. … Train Your Waitresses Properly, and Put The Real Ingredients In Your Food, Instead Of Taking The Cheap Way Out, and Using Cheap Fillers, To Imitate The Real Things. Very Upset about, OURSERVICE, OURFOOD, THEWAYWEWEREBEINGRUSHEDOUTOFTHERE, &THECOSTWASRIDICULOUS, FORALLTHATWEHADTODEALWITH! VERYSAD, TOPAYBIGMONEY, FORAWFULSERVICE, ANDMISLEADINGINGREDIENTS!

Great food. I got the Ribeye which was cooked perfectly and lightly seasoned(not too salty); my husband got the seared scallops with ravioli and they were also amazing. They have a great happy hour which is always a plus especially on weekends :) the place is beautiful and I’ll definitely be returning!

Dee I have eaten at this restaurant on several occasions. In the past the food and service have been excellent. However this experience was horrendous. I called and asked for reservations at 8:30. The website indicated they were open until 10 pm. Upon arriving the greeter asked if we wanted to sit in the bar area. We said we had a reservation and were promptly seated. The waitress took our beverage order. We asked for a couple of minutes to peruse the menu. She returned and took our order. She was not very friendly. After she took the order she disappeared and we finally saw her again and asked for water. While we were waiting she gave the check to a nearby table of 11 people. After a few minutes she came back to their table and announced so all could hear, «your card has been denied.» The man paying the entire bill said politely that the card was new and could not have been denied. She said she ran it through and«that is the way it is.». She walked away in a tiffy manner and came back for another card. She returned in a few more minutes and again said«the card has been denied also.» Again the customer said there was no way that could be. She stormed off again and did not return. In a few more minutes the manager came and indicated that they had machine troubles all day with it. He apologized for the error. He returned again with a $ 25 gift certificate. As the party of 11 was leaving he came to our table and asked if we would like the certificate as they were from out of town and could not use it. We said yes and thanked him. We asked the waitress what was for dessert. When we made our selections she said they only had 2 left. She said they close our section at 9. I reminded her that the internet said open till 10. Well tonight we close at 9. When our check came we got a 15 percent discount. We gave him the certificate and he said to us, «I gave this certificate to the man NOT you». He would not honor it. This experience will be our last one at this restaurant. Neither the waitress nor the manager spoke to the patrons in a nice manner. They need training in how to treat the customers. She never returned and apologized for her actions. We will not return there again.

First off let me say that I was quite nervous about eating here because of the many sketchy reviews. I came with a party of 9 people was only hoping that it was better than mediocre. I’m happy to say that I couldn’t have been more impressed. Everything about my experience was excellent. We started off with some appetizers, the jalapeño poppers, the baked Brie and the Thai shrimp. All were excellent and full of flavor. Everyone in my party enjoyed them. I also had the bowl of black beans with pork. And although it wasn’t all that hot when it came out, the taste more than made up for it and it was a very hearty bowl filled with big chunks of pork. For my entrée I had the pasta«Vinsanity» with shrimp and I have to say it was simply amazing. It has portobello mushrooms, kalamata olives, feta cheese, plum tomatoes and a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember offhand. It wasn’t just a few pieces of everything, it was full of it and tossed together perfectly. To be honest, I don’t understand all the negative reviews. To some extent I can see how some people might feel that the service was slow but personally I don’t like to be rushed when I go out to eat, especially at a fine dining establishment. We had a big party and our server was gracious, courteous and attentive and I couldn’t ask for anything more. The only reason why I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because it’s pricy. For me it’s crazy expensive and really that would be the only reason stopping me from eating there more often. So in conclusion, if you really want to try this place go for it. And don’t believe all the haters. Unilocal is full of snobs who can never be pleased.

I travel around Florida on business and have had many enjoyable meals in some very nice restaurants. Sadly Vince Carters is not one of them. First Shula’s in the Florida Keys now this place. NOMORE Celebrity sports restaurants for me EVER again. The ambiance and décor is outstanding, top notch really. The food was way below par. I’ve had much better food at way lower prices a middle of no where mom and pops. Being alone I elected to sit at the bar, I ordered a Heineken since they did not have ANY micro brews. Hmmm oh well. I found the prices a bit steep but not outside my comfort zone IF the food lived up to the ambiance. I ordered the Lobster Bisque soup which was frankly disappointing. Wolf Gang Puck canned is superior by ALOT. It was watery with no real meat or substance. My main meal was the Pork Chops with Marsala topping(a $ 2 upgrade). The presentation was great like the ambiance, but it was bland tasting and under cooked and near raw in the middle… appetite lost at this point. The Marsala topping was good but not great. I sent it back and they reheated it ! uggg. No offer was made to make new or try another dish. I took two more bites and got a to go box though I’m not sure I’ll even eat it later. Service was good overall but the food was way over priced. This adventure with tip set me back $ 32 Summary: Go Elsewhere don’t waste your money. I will not be coming back.

I visited Vince Carter’s for the first time for lunch, but have lived in the area for 7 years. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The building and décor sets a contemporary ambiance. There are deep and warm earth tone colors, woods, glass and water around to create levels of sophistication found in exquisite restaurants. We were simply greeted by the hostesses, seated in the dinning area as selected and greeted by our server moments later. The menu selections were as advertised, American cuisine. I ordered the Chicken and Mushroom Herb Wrap with pesto mayonnaise on the side and garlic mashed potatoes. Our wait time for our meal was not long, about average. However, the plating and presentation were dissappointing considering the ambiance I previously described. I literally felt I had just picked up a lunch wrap from my favorite grocery chain. The chicken had the appearance of perfect grill marks, but was cold and tasted at least a day old. The wrap did not taste as if it had been heated and there were very little mushrooms. The garlic mashed potatoes were good, but didn’t WOW. At least the pesto mayonnaise and my pink lemonade were good. I literally felt cheated and could have purchased this meal elsewhere or made it myself for much less. For dessert, I ordered the VC Red Velvet Cake layered with citrus cream cheese frosting in a small hock style wine glass. It was good and the hints of citrus were delightful. Overall, the restaurant looked exquisite, the food was sub-par and the service was good. I just love to leave a restaurant and feel inspired to visit again and/or wanting to attempt to re-create the meal at home. Not that I should have gone somewhere else or made the meal at home. However, Vince Carter’s, I will give you one more chance. I will give you a shot at dinner some other time.

Was there for the first time with my teammate. He told me all about it and how great the food was. I must say the wings are big and juice. My meal was the red snapper with a wine sauce with toasted almonds on top and yellow rice. The only small thing that could have made my meal excellent was a little more sea salt on the fish. The inside of the resturant layout was beautiful. Each room had is own vibe. I will be back when I’m in the area. Thanks VC!

Stopped in for a birthday lunch with my grandmother and daughter. Beautiful building, beautiful interior and warm, enjoyable ambiance. Was impressed by all three. But down to what matters most… the food and service. Another homerun. Service was 5 star and the food was terrific.(Note: If you read my other reviews, you’ll find I don’t rate lightly and I tell it like it is. This review is no different.) We ordered the brie appetizer and various items for lunch. The service was friendly and attentive. Even the front host staff was engaging. The food was plentiful, flavorful and well presented. I was hesitant to go prior to this visit based on assumed pricing, however the lunch menu prices were on par with all other nice options in the area. Whoever is managing this restaurant is covering all bases. We WILL return.

The building is beautiful, and service is fine, but I find the food a bit overpriced. I don’t mind paying more for a meal, but not for something that’s just ok.

If I could rate 0– I would. Worst surf and turf-don’t know how you can even get the hollandaise to taste that bad. Disgusting macaroni and cheese! What truffle mac? It tasted like Kraft on a bad day. I know this: Houston has excellent restaurants and this place would close. Maybe it’s great for drinkers — lots of alcohol being served. Don’t bother for a nice dinner.

Vince Carter’s is a great place to watch a game; the restaurant has TVs everywhere. Plus, they have a TV dedicated to Vince Carter highlights. Food: I ordered two entrees: grilled Cajun chicken sandwich with garlic mashed potatoes and a salmon burger with saffron rice. The salmon burger was OK, but the grill Cajun chicken sandwich was great! The sandwich had great seasoning and was cooked perfectly. Side Notes Ambiance: The look and feel of the restaurant gives off a classy feel. Service: The servers were fast and accommodating; however, the kitchen was extremely slow. It took our group over 40 minutes to receive our entrees, and there were only two other parties in the room. Overall: Although the kitchen service was slow, I did enjoy the food.

Vince Vince Vince *shakes head*. Thought I’d take my dad out for a nice dinner. We decided on this place. *SIGH* From start to finish was not impressed at all except for the décor. All that money spent on the inside should of been used on thoroughly training the staff. We sat in the dining area where one other couple was. The sports bar was pretty busy. Our apps took 25 min. to come out. Our salad and soup came before them, along with my sons food(he’s 3). When I asked how much longer on the apps, she had a look of that she forgot. She kindly tried to play it off and said oh they should be out soon. 4 minutes later we had apps and 2 min after that our food. She offered my dad a refill then never brought it til later. OK so the food: The mini crab bites for the app was absolutely disgusting. It tasted like the crabs had been playing with their own crap before being chopped and cooked. I gulped so much water after one bite and ate a jalapeño popper just to mask the after taste. Sweet and Sour Red Snapper with some yellow rice: BLANDBLANDBLAND :(such a waste of a beautiful yummy fish. Plus the sauce they brought was not sweet and sour it was some ginger soy stuff. The fish was overcooked #FAIL Tasted my dads bow tie pasta and it was bitter lacking any salt or flavor. My son got the best meal… grilled cheese. I wish I had got grilled cheese. Had the red velvet cake shooter for dessert which was alright nothing to write home about. Then the waitress says«I took the appetizer off cause it was so late». Then I get the bill and she didn’t take anything off. Overall just terrible. I wouldn’t recommend unless you want a drink and burger in the sports bar like the other guy said. I just want to point out most of the bad reviews were on a Sunday. So maybe it’s just Sundays? Either way everyday should be good service and food should always have flavor!
