Vinca

Enjoyed a great Groundhogs Day dinner special featuring two wonderful plates, duck confit or venison ragout, a glass of wine or beer for $55. Expected small plates for the price, but pleasantly surprised by the ample and tasty meals. Our server Brynne, was attentive and friendly which always makes for nice dinner experience. After we finished our meals, we had to try the desserts and dived into an apple strudel and a chocolate mousse. Both heavenly! Vinca has a huge wine list and features a European dinner menu. Stop in when you are in Broomfield.

What an amazing gem tucked at the end of the street! The space is intimate and cozy, and the food is amazing. Specialty cocktails for the season as well as an extensive wine list. Impress someone special with a night out.

Some of these bad reviews are odd. I thought Vinca was quite good. Wine was excellent, staff super friendly. And food pretty damn good. I was pleasantly surprised because I indented to go to the steakhouse next door but they were filled and a little aloof. So I gave this spot a chance. Had the split pea soup which was delightful. Not sure what the point of the ham shreds were but the soup and bacon bits were delicious. For my main I got the Beef Bourguignon. Really good and hearty. I'm no expert on Beef Bourguignon but it tasted good to me. Recommend this nice spot!

Different take on a Greek salad and the best I've had perhaps ever. The wine was perfect temperature. The atmosphere was a mix of family-owned and elegant. The service was excellent. I went on a short work trip, and I wish I had gone a second time while in town.

Great food and service. Had the Burrata appetizer with Caesar Salad and the Scallops with risotto for entree. Scallops were so fresh and delicious. Risotto was perfect. Bread was freshly baked. Owner helped us make the food selection which was a pleasant surprise.

The restaurant ambiance was nice and the overall feel of the place was pleasant. We got seated immediately, but it took a bit for our waitress to take our order. Then it took over 45 minutes to get our food. No one checked on us during that timeframe. No explanation was given for the long wait. When we finally got our food, the portion was a little small, but it had good flavor to it. We enjoyed the food, but left still hungry. We expected more for the price.

3 1/2 starsService is very friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant, but the food a little disappointing, especially considering the price. My gnocchi was very hard, which is too bad because the sauce and mushrooms were delicious, for $22, the chef should know how to cook those.A few of my friends were also underwhelmed with their plates, once again considering most entrees are close to $30.Note that they have a separate room for small groups.

The cocktails were delicious and the food was good but felt pretty over priced for what you got. There wasn't a bottle of wine under $60 and the service was ok. If the prices were more reasonable I'd rate it much higher

This was simply an amazingly good meal. I also had one the best Rye Old Fashion cocktails ever. A classy but welcoming atmosphere. A professional efficient friendly staff. The lamb was so good, I ordered the venison to go and felt guilty because I wouldn't get to see the venison in its full glory. The lamb was a complete dish everything complimented each other. If you don't like this restaurant maybe you are a picky vegan or vegetarian. I could not recommend this restaurant enough. It is jewel and I am sure it is loved by its proprietor and chefs because it shows.

Total disappointment. As a wine focused restaurant the wine by the glass menu was sparse. I lived in CA wine country. I founded a winery. I have numerous friends that own wineries. I know how wine dinners are hosted. Vinca is nothing but a Poser.The ambiance was bland.The music was annoying obtrusive jazz piano.The service was slow. The waiter was a nice young man, but he is operating in a poor environment. It was Saturday night and there were maybe 6 tables in use. I wanted to counsel him to take his talent elsewhere where he would make a lot more money.Then the food...The bruscetta was nearly unrecognizable. One bite was enough.The entree took a long time to be served. It was unremarkable.The dessert, chocolate mousse, was runny. It's hard to make chocolate unappetizing but they did it.The sad part is we were given a generous gift certificate which we were using to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. I cannot tell the giver how bad the experience was.The amount of the certificate exceeded our bill plus a generous tip (can't blame the waiter) so we left a balance which we will never use.I will tell whomever asks to skip Vinca.Hopefully the next tenant will be better at just about everything.
