Vinoteca, Washington, District of Columbia Restaurant Details

Food:

We went here for a wine class -- roses. Was definitely a great class, and very knowledgeable presenter. We have also been here before for dinner and the food was delicious, but that was a while ago :)

Food:

Went on a Sunday night for the live flamenco. Ordered the Charcuterie and Cheese Tasting Boards. The food was great, but the music was too loud for conversation. Service was awesome though.

disclaimer: I have been to the outdoors bar before and the bartender was incredibly rude. My second visit kept the review from being a 1/2 stars.

Would return.

Food:

This restaurant has a wonderful brunch and serves great food. I ordered the asparagus frittata. It was delicious and a very good portion. The mimosas are not bad, I'd recommend getting bottomless. The size of the mimosa is fair. The Bloody Mary's are done exceptionally well. The service was very efficient. The back patio is my favorite place here. Great place for happy hour.

Food:

We've been to Vinoteca several times and usually really enjoy ourselves. The service on our last visit will prohibit us from returning for awhile. Everything — drinks, food, check — was unreasonably slow. Entrees arrived before appetizers. A second round of drinks was delivered one drink at a time, with close to five minutes between each appearance. Frustrating and bizarre. Somewhat embarrassing as we were entertaining friends from out of town.

Food:

Great food for brunch, great venue, horrible horrible hosts. I won't be coming back anytime soon because of the way the hosts treated everyone, which is sad is to say because everything else was fantastic. They make it a point to say everyone in your party should arrive early/on time or else they won't seat you. My party arrived 15 minutes early, to the disgust of the hosts, who gave us (and the group behind us) attitude for arriving early. In addition, we called a few days ahead to change the number of people in our reservation, but the change was never made in their system. Instead of just acommodating the change as is, the host proceeded to lecture us in the most condenscending tone the rules of making reservations because somehow it was our fault they didn't have the reservation in the system. Vinoteca could easily be a 4-5 star venue had it not been for the despicable treatment from the hosts.
