Simply delicious! The restaurant is so quaint and beautiful. Feels like you're actually in France! Our server was just awesome and so accommodating. A manger stopped by and was very friendly and genuinely concerned that everything was perfect. French onion soup, fries, and baked oysters were all outstanding! Will return soon!

Spectacular food and service. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive and handsome.
We enjoyed many food items (and drinks) with Oyster Gratinee and Lobster Salad being exceptional.

Really good food. Good service. The Macaroni and Cheese is particularly remarkable -- so tasty and rich without being over the top. There are a lot of options which aren't on the menu. Good location too.

We celebrated our ten year anniversary here and everything was perfect. Everyone was so attentive and the food was so good! My favorite was the goat cheese tart as an appetizer but we loved our entrees too. The dessert was amazing so don't skip it! I look forward to returning in the future.
The restaurant is bigger than I thought from the outside and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Thank you for taking such good care of us as we celebrated.

Delicious food and our waitress was wonderful! The restaurant itself was beautiful inside, though a bit dark.

Good restaurant with creative French-style dishes. Wonderful soup and goat cheese tart. Attentive wait staff. A handful of choices of salads, cheeses, and main courses. A little on the noisy side (has a bar as well as tables). My wife asked for a vegetable substitution on her main course and the waiter acknowledged it - but it didn't get done. Besides that, everything was very nice - good for a special occasion and not overly pricey.

I reserved a dinner here for me and my fiancee for our anniversary. It was also our first time being at Vin Rouge. The experience was better than we could've imagined, decorated beautifully for the holidays and the entire staff was so kind - especially our waitress Meaghan ❤️ the food was perfectly cooked and the dessert at the end just added to an already perfect night. Thank you to everyone at Vin Rouge for making our anniversary feel so special!

Went here for a cute date night and the food was amazing. Our waitress was so chill which made our experience even better. Nothing like having a waitress stop you every minute to ask how the food is. I'm glad she wasn't the way. We didn't feel rushed to eat or leave. The drinks were great and will definitely be coming back soon. The atmosphere was very romantic and low lit, such a great place.

An outstanding French restaurant which is the best we found in the area. The atmosphere reminded us of eating in France. The service we received was remarkable. Our server (Kristen M.), was very professional, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The Pork Chops and Hanger Steak were outstanding. Order a side dish of Bearnaise Sauce to dip the french fries, meat, and vegetables in. Yummy! The Escargot was very good. The Creme Brulee was outstanding and the best we have eaten in a long time. We definitely will be back to try other dishes.

My family and I went in on Saturday and had a fantastic time. We all started with several appetizers and all of them were delicious as we all shared with one another. Entrees were pretty good although several of us had the sirloin, they were seasoned to perfection however were very tough. I suppose that comes with the territory with this particular cut. The star of the show was our server, Meagan. Absolutely some of the BEST service I have ever had! She is extremely knowledgeable about her menu and her attention to detail was a breath of fresh air.
Thank you all for a fabulous Evening!!

My wife and I came for a date night one week ago, that date was amazing due to the amazing food and staff at Vin Rouge. The food was decadent and absolutely well worth every single red cent. The cocktails were delicious, and I was kept absolutely breathless by how fantastic the food was. We were so happy that we came back this past weekend for brunch, and honestly brunch was just as amazing if not more so!! The brunch options were just amazingly simple and delicious, but the big winner was the wait staff and chef during this meal. My wife had ordered the eggs benedictine, fries, and a salad. My wife got curious about what sauces they had for the fries and we landed on a curry dipping sauce. The waitstaff asked the chef to make it special, and they made it completely one off for us. They charged us more than fairly for it, and we WILL be coming back to Vin Rouge. The management is friendly, waitstaff is knowledgeable and wonderful. If you want a great meal for a great price and want to leave satisfied on all fronts COME HERE!!!

I had a fabulous birthday dinner at the bar on Sunday. Josh was excellent as always, and he helped me pick the right bottle of wine for my dinner.
I've been coming to this place for 3 years, and everything is always flawless!

We are from our of town and wanted to experience some good food while exploring the Raleigh area. Tried Vin Rouge and it was incredible! It started off by great customer, we were originally seated outside, but the hostess knew that we would prefer inside and so she came and grabbed us before we even had a chance to order as soon as a table opened up. We started off with an appetizer, carmelized onion and goat cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was fresh as well. The main course we had was salmon and steak. The flavors were all incredible and we didn’t feel rushed at all while eating there. We were given just enough attention by the wait staff, but didn’t feel like it was pushy or anything. 10/10.

My wife and I stopped here for a nice date night dinner during our road trip. The waiters and waitresses are extremely friendly and attentive. We started with a half dozen Dukes of Topsail oysters, which had a clean, less brine-y flavor due to them being raised in an estuary. We asked our waiter what he recommended, and he suggested the Poisson du jour and Cotes de Porc, which did not disappoint! The complimentary baguette bread with Olive Oil with Olive spread was incredibly addicting. The lemon tart overall was very good, wasn't overly tart, and the crust was the right consisency between soft and hard. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. Would highly recommend trying this restaurant out if you're in the area and in the mood for French haute cuisine!
