The Vineyard Wine Company

We drove up here to Lake Mary to enjoy one of our favorite outdoor dining locations, only to find that they had closed down! Then we thought we'd go across the street to Dexter's and it was closed too! I pulled up Yelp to see what was nearby and this restaurant had 4 1/2 stars. We decided to give it a try.This was an amazing find! You have to try the spinach artichoke rolls!! Warning: they're very filling.The French onion soup is awesome, the Fettuccine Alfredo lobster dinner did not disappoint.Our server was Joel, who is very attentive, but not invasive. He's very polished. My wife was disappointed to hear that the braised beef special had run out earlier in the evening! Based on how good everything else was, she's hopeful that maybe she'll be able to order it in the future.We will return!

Came here for lunch and had a great experience sitting outside. They don't have too many seats outside so if you are looking for that and the place is busy you will probably be disappointed. Otherwise, service was great and more importantly the food was too.Ordering the KEY WEST MAHI - Lightly blackened fresh Mahi Mahi, toasted brioche bun, lettuce, tomato, red onion with a side Caesar salad I was surprised as to how much fish was on the sandwich!

After years of living in the Lake Mary/Sanford area, I finally had the opportunity to try the Vineyard Wine Company, and it was an indulgent meal. The dim lighting and dark wood furniture create a romantic and intimate ambiance perfect for your next date night.Although the focus is on wine, there were also a variety of cocktails to choose from. I tried Dan's Margarita, which was absolutely excellent. (Bonus points in my book for the base tequila being Don Julio.) My husband tried the Red Sangria and the waitress even tailored the base wine to match his desired level of sweetness. For appetizers, we tried the toasted ravioli, and it was AMAZING. Crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, and cheesy with the bolognese on the side for dipping, if I had just ordered this as my entree, I would have been more than pleased! I also tried the California Turkey Melt with the French onion soup, and it was exceptionally delicious. The bread was extremely fresh and perfectly pressed, with the ideal ratio of bread to meat. The French onion soup was everything I could have asked for and more. All of the food here was so delicious that I couldn't believe it took me so long to try this place! Our server was extremely friendly, and all of the food came out perfectly with adequate timing between each course.The Vineyard Wine Company is remarkable from start to finish. From the food to the service to the ambiance, I enjoyed every bit of my dining experience. I will definitely be back to try the dinner and brunch menus in the future!

This is a go-to place for us but this visit wasn't the usual go-to experience. Server was not up to par and a dish I order frequently and love...the meatloaf...was raw in the middle. You HAVE to see this when serving it, I believe. The gravy which is great normally was a salt lick. In retrospect should have returned the meal but we were on the clock and I'm not a big fan of returning food. We'll go back, but hope this isn't a sign of things slipping in this normally fun, nice place.

Pretty busy at 2pm but stopped by for a late lunch. They have a bartender and a server and service was a little slow. Server was really friendly and we ordered a pressed turkey club and chicken salad croissant with homemade chips for both. Croissant was exceptional but the pressed sandwich was ok. Also they serve ketchup with the chips. Maybe serve ranch instead. Overall good meal.

I got food from here as takeout so I can't say much about the ambience and service, but the French dip is so good- one of the best I've ever had! So I plan on making a date night of this place in the future with Hubby.

So good. Forgot to take pictures of my dinner since I really wanted to experience the food and the company I was with. We started out with the okra appetizer, the sauce that came with was a little spicy but very flavorful. For my main course I got the flat iron stir fry. A definite must with the Asian chili sauce on top. Top notch. Service was a little slow and he forgot to ring in the chicken for the Cobb salad my friend got. But it did come out rather quick once he noticed the mistake. This is a great little place to dine in and have a great meal. The decor is like being in a Tuscan village

The Vineyard Wine Company is an absolute charming restaurant. The ambiance is very welcoming to a variety of people. The food is an absolute delicacy, the staff, very friendly, cordial and professional. You must experience this wonderful restaurant; you will find yourself going back for more. Oh, I forgot to mention, as one of their many appetizers, they offer Fried Olives; yes, I have heard of and eaten Fried Pickles, but never Fried Olives. I love trying new things so I tried these. My tastebuds did a major happy dance!They very lightly bread Queen Olives and stuff them with Italian sausage. They serve the dish with whipped cream cheese and a mouthwatering creamy sauce. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic! We moved to this area 3 years ago and just recently stumbled upon this restaurant. Fantastic experience. The food was delicious and the service great too! We will be back!
