Vinology would have had a five point score it not for its lapse in service. The food was excellent in portions, flavor, and variety of choices and value. But the restraurant had completely forgotten about us for 20 minutes after they sat us outside. We were the only table without a waiter, causing the reassigned waiter to catch up and... More

Have been a couple times, and would say very creative and eclectic menu. Love how you can order half portions so can try many different dishes. Have found the service somewhat disappointing on our last few visits. Even when we had a reservation, was told to hurry up and order since another group was coming in an hour, Our orders... More

We celebrated our 33rd anniversary at Vinology and couldn't have asked for better treatment. Our server, Scott, was awesome! He was very attentive and made our dining experience very special- including his surprise selection of our great dessert. Vinny, one of the family members' who own Vinology, came and wished us a happy anniversary and spent some time with us... More

Be prepared for a very noisy environment which makes conversation difficult. The waitstaff is aloof, condescending and constantly trying to up-sell more expensive menu items. The food was very good but the overall experience is killed by the cold arrogance of the staff and the loudness. I have been there twice (we gave it a second chance based upon the... More

We hadn't eaten here in more than 18 months and we saw the recent reviews on TA and were interested to give it another chance. We tasted the sauteed calamri, pork and black bean chile and shrimp/chicken sugarcane skewers as appetizers and all three were excellent. The calamari wasn't breaded and was fantastic. The flavors were perfect. As an entree... More

We've always liked this place. Each time we visit the staff are friendly, the food is good, the wine flows, and we have a good time. My only complaint: I wish they were located closer to Detroit! More

A great feature of Vinology is that half portions of each dinner entree can be ordered. This makes it possible to enjoy one of their scrumptious desserts. The food is very well prepared, the entrees are deliciously designed and the atmosphere is relaxing. An excellent choice if this experience is what you want! More

Ambience in this restaurant is romantic, with gauzy curtains between booths and low lighting. A great wine list, as you might expect from a restaurant named Vinolofy. Also interesting food with an international flair. More

Perfect place to go with business colleagues or friends or for an impressive date. The menu is varied but not too extensive, the mark of a good restaurant. Really, a most inventive menu! We were all extremely pleased with our food. Perfectly prepared, perfectly sized entrees, and absolutely delicious. There's something for everyone here, with more fish entrees than most... More

I love to visit Vinology after work to catch up with friends. At five o'clock it is quiet before the dinner rush. A very pleasant atmosphere for a glass of wine with an appetizer. More
