In Short
At this Theater District hotspot (pronounced "vine"), warm woods, red leather banquettes and dramatic lighting accent the elegant dining room. Menu starters feature sharable plates with regional flavors like cornmeal-crusted oysters, seasonal foie gras, and Gulf shrimp and grits. Signature entrees include a bone-in beef filet with Maine lobster "mac and cheese," olive-crusted salmon, osso bucco and rack of lamb plus salads and flatbread pizzas. Finish with a tasting plate of "The World's Tiniest Desserts."

I have dined at this restaurant a few times in the last year and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I tried to make a reservation this week and found it strange that no one answered the phone and voice mail simply instructed me to make a reservation through opentable which I did. I arrived there last night only to find a "Closed for Business" sign on the front door. Nor sure how long it has been closed, if this is temporary or permanent.

Nothing comfortable about the atmosphere, interior design does not match menu selections; acoustics? horrid, I really don?t care to hear everything the tables next to us are saying; some of the most unprofessional service I?ve experienced at this price level of restaurant in Houston, no knowledge of menu items and armature wine service; food presentation lacking and flavors not impressive; will not recommend this restaurant even to an enemy. It would be nice if management would refine restaurant as the location is great for nights attending shows within the Theatre District.

VIN is a nice place, fun place with good decor. The food is ok but if they plan to stay open long in downtown, they might want to speed up the service. It is painfully slow. I have been twice and each time I hope it will get better but it doesn't. If you plan on going for lunch, be sure to set aside about 2 hours. No Kidding! They must have 1 cook in the back. I have decided that I will probably just eat somewhere else.
