The Vineyard Wine Company

We have been here for drinks, brunch and dinner and have yet to have one thing here that was not awesome. Seriously, try the hummas trio, it will blow your mind

Nice place to have lunch. This restaurant is close to my work and it’s a bit nicer than other neighboring restaurants. By nicer I mean the menu is more interesting and their is above average table service. It will put you back at least $ 10 for lunch but the indoor and outdoor seating is nice, and the food is always fresh. I like any of their quiches and the chicken salad croissant sandwich with truffle fries. Don’t hesitate to go here.

Located in International Plaza in Lake Mary/​Heathrow– the Vineyard is a nice stop for a meal or a glass of wine. Over the years I’ve enjoyed visits for Brunch and dinner, the food and service has always been great. I finally made it in for lunch to order the Lobster Roll, which has been on my radar for awhile.
Deeeelish! A nice lobster roll, filled with sweet lobster and a good price for the portion. I ended up eating this with a knife and fork, as the lobster was overflowing. Not overly mayonnaise-​y, well seasoned flavor in the dressing. Worth a stop and only available on the lunch menu.

We stopped in after catching a movie at the nearby theater and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, service and wine (the wine is overpriced but good quality). I ordered the grilled bacon and Gouda cheese stuffed meatloaf. Very tasty!
My wife ordered the spicy shrimp appetizer and was very happy with it.
Great atmosphere with live music on a Friday evening. Would definitely go back.

I’ve passed by this place a dozen times but have never stopped in or looked online to see what they were about. Yesterday I was looking on Unilocal for a place to have a luncheon for my department at work and came across them again. Sadly, they are not open on Monday’s (when I needed my meeting scheduled) but everything sounded so good I knew I’d check them out another day.
I had lunch with a coworker already on the calendar for today so I recommended this place. She agreed and I am so glad, because it was absolutely delicious!
It was super cute inside — the decorations and atmosphere were dark and like a wine cellar (go figure). The booths were horseshoe shaped and intimate. There was at least one private room that could be draped off.
I ordered the bacon and gouda meatloaf sandwich with the chicken florentine soup as my side. They accidentally brought me their prime rib and mushroom soup instead and I am so glad they did! It was absolutely delicious! Huge chunks of prime rib, lots of mushrooms, in a creamy wine broth. It was amazing. When our server came back (who was awesome, by the way!) I told her and she immediately brought out the soup I had actually ordered. The chicken florentine soup was in a blue cheese broth (broth isn’t the right word but I can’t figure out what the right word actually is). The «broth» was delicious — like a fondue — and there was plenty of fresh spinach and chunks of chicken. If I had to choose between the two soups I’d probably go with the mushroom one, but it would be a tough choice!
The meatloaf sandwich was really good as well! It has loads of smoked bacon and gouda inside, and then on a soft roll with onion lettuce and tomato. It doesn’t come with any condiments on it and you really don’t even need any.
My coworker got the french dip sandwich with truffle fries and she said her sandwich was great. The fries were awesome and she was nice enough to share them with me. Yay!
I will definitely be going back! Lunch for sure because it’s near my office, but dinner for sure as well so I can try some of their wines. They actually have my all-​time favorite wine on the menu there (which I can only find at Cavallari’s Gourmet) but it’s way overpriced. $ 9/​glass $ 34/​bottle. It’s $ 20/​bottle at Cavallari’s… I’d also love to check them out for brunch because that menu sounds delish as well!

Took my date here for Valentine’s Day. Had reservations for 7, we showed up here around 6:50 and they seated us immediately. Service was excellent and food was even better. We both got the flat iron steak and both were cooked as we requested, one medium and one well done. We are not big wine drinkers, but we were both very happy with our selections. Service was actually MUCH quicker than we expected on V-​day and I think it was because they did not split any of their 4-​tops into two 2-​tops. I think every couple in there was seated at a 4-​top when they could have easily split them and had twice as many people in there. And they were even turning people away without reservations, so it’s not like they couldn’t have filled the tables. Other than that, lighting was nice and music was the perfect volume. Would definitely come back again for a special occasion as it was a bit pricy for us, but well worth it for the ambience and quick service as V-​day can get really slow at most places.

The food was excellent. At our table we had the Lobster Risotto and the Mediterranean Chicken Skewer. Lobster risotto was delish! Chicken skewers were a tad dry but very tasty, garnished and presented very well. They have a good selection of wines and recommendations on the menu for wines to accompany the dish.
The service was prompt and friendly. Overall very nice ambiance. Easy to have a conversation and not too noisy. I would definitely eat there again it recommend it to a friend.

Randomly decided to try this place for brunch today, and was quite pleased with it.
I only had water because I’m battling a cold, but it was nice to confirm they have a $ 10 bottomless mimosa special, with different flavors of juice, or if you only want one they’re $ 3.
The brunch menu was quite predictable, but still appetizing. My friend got the frittata and she was quite full and satisfied with it. I ended up ordering the French dip sandwich with fruit, and it was quite good.
My only gripe is the wait, we started wondering why they were taking a while with our order and as soon as we started discussing that they came in with our plates. Also, my friend ordered a soup that didn’t arrive before the frittata so she had to cancel it.
In any case, I will definitely go back and try that mimosa special!

Service: excellent
Food: excellent (Butter Lettuce Salad & Lobster Mac-​N-​Cheese)
Wine List: Very good

What a cute place! If you’re looking for a romantic spot to enjoy dinner and a great wine list, this is it. There’s a bar area up front and a more formal dining room in the back. Our server was polite and attentive and very knowledgeable on the wine selections. We ordered the lobster macaroni and cheese appetizer, which was loaded with large chunks of lobster. It was rich and decadent, perfect for sharing. We also shared an entrée, the salmon, which the kitchen split for us. It was flavorful and cooked just right. Unfortunately, because (we were told) the kitchen makes most everything from scratch, they were out of quite a few menu items. We were quite limited on entrees because of this. Still, what we did choose was tasty. Wine can be ordered by the glass or bottle and the menu offers pairing suggestions for each dish. Overall the warm, candlelit ambiance and cozy booths makes for a perfect date spot. We didn’t have to wait for a table, but seating is somewhat limited so it may get earlier in the evening.

Loved it! Lobster roll & truffle fries so Delish! Wine good, too. Will be back for sure.

The place looks nice, the service is very good, I ordered a medium rare wild caught salmon for $ 26, and they brought me an over cooked small portion of salmon with melted cheese some spinach and WHIP CREAM on top, didn’t get the whole combination, it was also tasteless, I paid my bill and went across the street to Amura to fill my almost empty stomach. One more thing they had Big brothers up on the TV screen «really» the 3 star is for service only

This has become one of my favorite places to eat, especially for brunch/​lunch. The food is fresh and consistently delicious. The service is quick, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is very pleasant.
The wine list remains a little… meh, but the whole experience is so lovely it doesn’t matter. Everyone I bring here wants to come back.

I met friends tonight at this restaurant. We sat in the bar for several hours having appetizers/​dinner and drinks. Service by Jessica was great. Constant follow-​up. Only issue was being a bit surprised to be given my to-​go dinner order at the time I was getting apps. and still having drinks with my friends. Not sure why they rushed it as I didn’t want it cold. However when I mentioned that I wanted to wait I kind of got a confused look but they quickly took it away and said they would redo it. Not sure if they really did because when I indicated I was leaving Jessica said «oh I already started it» (why when I hadn’t asked yet) and it came immediately — so I am sure it was the same dish reheated after over 2 ½ hours. Disappointing.
We had the tuna roll and sliders for apps. The tuna roll had absolutely no flavor and the sliders were almost average. I ordered the asparagus/​lobster risotto to go as it sounded amazing. My friends had an order as well and loved it. I came home tonight and had some of it and was underwhelmed. Didn’t really taste much cheese at all — mostly chicken broth. Fairly generous with the lobster which is good because at $ 17 and no salad or bread they had to offer something.
Overall it was an ok experience but wouldn’t go back for the food and still a bit disappointed on how my to go order was handled. Also when I called the day before to get directions I was put on hold (actually hand over mouthpiece) while they tried to find someone to give simple directions. When a Robbie finally came on the phone I heard in the background someone say, «don’t they have Google?» Yes, I do and I work in technology but I would have preferred instead of wasting time doing that to have someone literally take 60 seconds to tell me what exit off of freeway and where to make a left. It would have been easy. I didn’t even bother Robbie with his time and said I would find the directions myself. This effort cost me an extra 20 minutes getting lost even after my Google search!
In any event, I am not going to rush to go back but it was fine. Food very average, wine was fine and service was outstanding in some aspects. Questionable in others.

Let me start by saying, this is one of my absolute favorite places whether its a date night or I am just spending time with girlfriends. I couldn’t say enough good things about this place! I thought it would be tough to continue going here as it reminded me of date nights with my Ex but this is a place that can take your mind off any really bad relationship… lol. Add some wine, girlfriends or a new love and you are all set!
I love to order there tapas style menu items: hummus plate, fried olives, truffle fries, sliders… it is all so very delish! I always go for the House Merlot but they do offer many different types of wine, beer and spirits.
The service is amazing. The servers and bar tenders are all so friendly and they know me by name as I always feel treated like family here!
The ambience is perfect no matter what the occasion and the menu prices are very reasoble.
Definitely a 5 star recommendation from me!

Six of us got together here for lunch just before Thanksgiving. We each had different sandwiches or wraps, and everyone enjoyed their meal very much. I had a hot pastrami with brie served on a delicious bun with a salad side. Yum.
We were seated in semi-​private area so we could talk across table (loud) without worrying about being a bother to other diners. The service was friendly & very attentive. Nice place. Can’t comment of the wine, though, as no one had any (ha ha).

Came in for a little Sunday brunch action. The french dip was delish. the benedict, also very good. The winner of the horse race is definitely the $ 10 all you can slam mimosas! Tons of flavors! They even have hibiscus flowers! If you haven’t had one, try it. A pomogranate type taste, but with a real flower that blooms in your glass, awwwwww. How special. And then eat the sweet flower once you are done.
The service was outstanding at the bar. The blonde server was helpful, friendly, attractive, and best of all funny. She really made me want to come back to this place.

First time there to eat, walked by many times. Will most definitely go back. Our waiter AJ was awesome and not pushy like other places, they allow you to relax and enjoy your food and drink on your time.
We started with the toasted ravioli, made and shipped directly from St. Louis, nachos and rocket shrimp. Lasagna was amazing, could only eat half. My wife had the French onion soup, she was in heaven. My mother n law had the wedge salad and father n law also had the lasagna, heard no complaints only raves. We then finished with the banana bread pudding.
If you want good quality food and want to relax while eating this is the place. Even the manager came out and spent some time talking to our table, you don’t see that much anymore.
I highly recommend this place and we will for sure be back many more times.

Very tasty Sunday brunch.
I need to start ordering food that I can’t make on my own at home, that said – I got the breakfast panini and the wife got French Toast that’s made with a little help from Bailey’s Irish Cream.
Her meal won.
While my sandwich and home fries were all tip top spot on, they weren’t anything I couldn’t get at a number of breakfast nooks around the way. However that french toast was soooo good. Twas soft and sweet. The extra lovin from the B.I.C. gave it a taste – superb!
Did I mention the $ 10 bottomless mimosas?
Yeah, they’re sitting on like 5 – 6 flavors to choose from. I got to try Strawberry, Mango, Hibiscus (interesting), Pear and a Strawberry/​Mango hybrid I dubbed: Strango Unchained. Not as good as the movie, but tasted great just the same.
Attentive employees, excellent service, full bar. Looking forward to coming back.
Awesome Service Post Script: After we finished eating and paid our bill, we dipped next door to do some shopping, well, the wife did that is. She was in there with two gals trying on dresses for a while before I finally said, I’m outta here.
I stepped back into the Vineyard and asked the server if there was a chance I might be able to have one more mimosa to kill some time while the girls played dress up. The M.O.D said that’s Kool n tha Gang and hooked it up.
Didn’t have to do it, but did it just the same… that’s some tender loving customer service.

Night out with two of my favorite girls (daughter & fellow foodie/​friend) brought me back to Vineyard Wine Company. Wednesday being more or less a casual day, we strolled in without reservations. Promptly greeted by a courteous host, we got seated in a nice corner with views of the entire restaurant and a huge 6 seater just for us.
Since we couldn’t decide on our drinks, our friendly server brought us samples of few of their beers on tap. Personally, I do enjoy the extra touches restaurants & their staff offer (especially in this economy, any personal touch goes a long way in filling empty chairs).
One of the reasons I choose to dine at The Vineyard Wine Company is their menu. Limited but carrying an expansive range of eclectic dishes and the option to choose your own portion; whether you want to share or dine alone.
There must be a change in the kitchen staff — dishes came out presented with an extra flair of perfection and playfulness. Every dish we ordered tasted clean, fresh, & had bold flavors. Nicely done!
Whether it is a casual evening out or a date night, The Vineyard Wine Company offers something to please all palates. I certainly plan on repeat visits.
