Visited Viñas Wine & Tapas in New Haven on a Friday(edit: Wednesday night) night around 8pm. The restaurant was only about half full, and it was hard to really understand the vibe of the place. The décor and menu feel a bit all over the place, and the large screens playing food videos throughout the restaurant were somewhat distracting.
Unfortunately, the service was where the experience really fell apart. We overheard more than one table asking multiple times about the status of their food. We ordered two appetizers and two entrées, and it took over 45 minutes for the entrées to start coming out. Only one arrived at first, and the appetizers never came at all. By the time the second entrée arrived, my husband had already finished his meal. In the end, we had to cancel the appetizers and one of the entrées(food taste and quality feels overpriced).
The waiter did come over and apologize, explaining that the chef had gone home sick and that the kitchen was struggling because of it. They offered us the sandwich to go at no charge, which we declined, and also offered a $30 gift card for a future visit. We appreciated the gesture but declined that as well and asked them to give it to someone else.
I understand that unexpected things happen, but some communication upfront would have gone a long way. If we had been told early on that service would be slow due to being short staffed, the experience might have been a 3 or even 4 star visit. Unfortunately, based on the décor, food experience, and service issues that night, it’s not somewhere I would return.

The food was ok, my husband and I are foodies and enjoy authenticity in everything. My husband had the ceviche and pork belly while I had the…. Well fish, ( can’t remember the name), potatos and avocado. My husband said the ceviche was ok and so were the pork bellies. He likes the pork bellies At Jacks better. The drinks however were amazing. I had a strawberry mojito and my husband had a margarita… well 3! Lmao
THE STAR OF THE NIGHT WAS CHRISTIAN OUR WAITER! He was amazing and attentive even with the large crowd he had to serve. Thank you Christian for amazing customer service. I don’t think this place has happy hour…. If they do we weren’t told about it! Oh and guacamole and chips cost $17 smh! It was a bit pricy for happy hour time. We could have gone elsewhere for cheaper. But we really did enjoy Christian! We won’t be back anytime soon unless there is happy hour pricing!

Super friendly place. Love the Chilean-inspired Latin cuisine. Killer Chilean wine list, which is a fav of ours. They deserve your patronage – go!

This was a great pre-show meal before wandering over to College Street Music Hall. The team and staff at Vinas Wine & Tapas were great. We arrived a bit late for our reservation, but were promptly seated at a cozy two-person hightop near the front of the restaurant. We mentioned that we were seeing a show that evening and the staff promptly kicked things into high-gear.
Ordered the Papas Bravas, Empanadas Chilenitas, Churrasco Philly, and the Birria Tacos. The Papas Bravas were adequately crispy, but slightly underseasoned. They were cut a bit larger than what we were used to, which may have explained why they were a little underseasoned. The Empanadas were delicious. The pastry dough was crispy and well seasoned, while the filling was both meaty and flavorful. The aioli on top just added to the richness.
The Birria Tacos were filled with some deliciously flavorful meat. Like most birria tacos, be prepared to roll up your sleeves because it can get a little messy, but totally worth it. Last, the Churrasco Philly was everything a Philly Cheesesteak should be in a “normal” personal serving size. The meat was seasoned perfectly and matched nicely with the peppers and onions. The cheese added just the right amount of salt and creaminess to tie it all together.
Everything paired nicely with the 2022 Montes Alpha Carmenere we ordered. Definitely planning to visit again when we’re back in town.

Viñas is truly a gem of New Haven. Had a wedding party of 15 people and Mario and his team made our night truly special. Food was incredible, wine selection was spectacular. They really know what they’re doing here. Thank you so much to the entire team for giving my friends and family such a wonderful night Can’t wait to come back for our anniversary next year!

My girlfriend and I recently took a trip to Miami Mojito Company, known to be the “best” mojitos in the Miami area (hard to beat that). They come NOWHERE close to these mojitos!!! The Miami place didn’t even have that fresh minty taste in the traditional mojito! We were dying to come back and here we are. Viñas also offered us mojitos that aren’t even on the menu (mango & passion fruit)! Amazing service!! Everyone is super nice and helpful. Will keep coming back and recommending to others
Ps. My girlfriend loves the Lomo soltado and calamari

Just had a really nice night. I have to say I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. There is outdoor seating that was great in a vibrant part of New Haven. They had live music as well. Food was very flavorful, and the drinks were well made.

Fabulous, authentic Chilean/Spanish food! The empanaditas chilenas, patatas bravas, pastel de choclo, and chicken pimiento were our favorites. Don’t skip the churros at the end–they are delicious. The additional standout of this restaurant is its service. Our server, Mario, was extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive, as were Christian and Yaquelin. Everyone seemed joyful and happy to serve us, and went out of their way to offer us recommendations and accommodate our needs. We just really enjoyed eating here, it was a real treat!

This was a 5-star dining experience for a party of 4 from the service to the atmosphere to the cuisine/tapas. The restaurant is exceptional and everything was devoured!
