Since opening in 1987, Vinnie's Steakhouse & Tavern has established itself as a prime dining spot for Raleigh residents. The traditional wood-paneled interior, complete with atmospheric dim lighting and shining brass bar, harkens back to the Eisenhower era, and the menu is a steak-and-seafood lover's dream. Vinnie's booths are often filled with the suit-and-tie crowd, and the three private rooms are frequently booked for business meetings. This is a nice spot for a romantic evening as well -- whoever is paying for this meal will certainly impress, as the prices are decidedly steep.

Start off with a bowl of soup; Vinnie's onion is a favorite. You can dig into appetizers such as oysters Rockefeller, jumbo shrimp cocktail or hot crab dip. Red meat entrees include filet mignon, king-cut prime rib, baby back ribs and New York strip. Perhaps you're in the mood for a seafood selection? Try the grilled scallops, fried jumbo shrimp or lobster tail. The surf and turf is a popular choice for those who can't choose between the two. You can also order Italian specialties including eggplant Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs and shrimp scampi. The wine list here is extensive, and Vinnie's also has a full bar. Reservations for dinner must be made by 10AM on the same day.

    Having come from Kansas City (23 years ago) I have been to some superb steakhouses and this one rates with any of them. My wife and I love the atmosphere because it isn't frilly and fru-fru. Vinnie's is certainly a place for manly men and women who appreciate that quality in a man. We have never been disappointed with the food or the service and will continue to return for our special occasions.

  • Very Good Dining Experience

    The filet mignon was fabulous! Side orders of various veggies were the best I've ever eaten in a restaurant. Looks like there has been a big improvement over past reviews or I visited on just the right night. I would definitely eat there again. It is a little pricely but well worth it for special occasions.

  • What a disappointment

    High prices, slow service, smoky room, not that great food make this loser a "never again"

    Grossly overpriced, truck stop waitresses have more personality and professionalism. Reminds me of the Eastern New Jersey mob hangouts, with chefs just out of cooking in the joint kitchen, dining room staff trained in the joint and food left over from the joint. Business gatherings! -- Why would anyone want to give business associates indigestion

  • Sad Restaurant!

    Review rating : 0out of 5   attorneys2000 - 11/10/2004

    How this restaurant stays in business is a mystery. The price of the filet mignon on the menu is ten dollars more than the price posted outside the restaurant door. The salad was nothing more than iceberg lettuce. I asked for some kind of improvement on the salad and the waitress "guessed" that she could maybe add some shredded carrots. The wait staff had something of an "attitude" which surprised me especially since the food quality and price was questionable. Had to leave the restaurant after the salad ordeal. I definitely will not return and will not recommend this restaurant.

  • Delicious

    Vinnies is my favorite steakhouse in the area. I spent my birthday there and ended up leaving with hockey tickets, a free CD from the lounge singer (who was too cute) and a few complimentary glasses of wine. The steaks are absolutely delicious and the owner and manager are very conscientious and professional. 5 stars
