Loved the food and service here. The staff was very professional and helpful especially giving suggestions. My servers Rhea and Chris know what they are talking about and would recommend coming here! I’ve head the steak and salmon and would like to try more on their menu!

EXTREMELY RECOMMEND this restaurant! It was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was very upscale and simply beautiful. Their cuisines were fresh and mouthwatering. The most exquisite and freshest ingredients were evident in every bite, making their prices understandably high-priced. Trust me, they are worth every penny and minute.

Vino is a true sophisticated sanctuary in the heart of English Village. The atmosphere is stunning, offering a seamless blend of luxury whether you’re sitting in the chic interior or enjoying the beautiful patio.
The bar is a highlight of every visit—it’s such a fun environment, and the cocktails are top-tier. Chris and Michael are absolute pros; they have a way of making you feel like family the moment you sit down. I love that the menu leans into healthy, flavorful options without sacrificing taste. The Grouper Bowl is a personal favorite and a must-try! The prices perfectly reflect the high quality of the food and service. Highly recommended!

My friends and I chose Vino to celebrate our birthdays. They were also participating in BHam Restaurant Week and offered a pre fix menu in addition to their regular menu.
So let’s start with the food. The food was Great! We ordered appetizers, drinks, entrees from the regular menu and from the price fix menu. As a native of St. Louis, MO I enjoyed The Lou. Traditionally, the stuffing is meat but the cheese combination was done well. The apple fritters were a hit across and around the table. The only complaint we had was the amount of citrus/lemon in the sauce of the shrimp pasta dish.
After reading the reviews, I wonder if our waiter was the same one spoken of in the less than perfect ratings. Unfortunately, no one at our table can remember his name but only the subpar service. From not making eye contact to make sure everyone’s needs were met to forgetting (verbally admitting as such) to place orders to general inattentiveness, it was not the best service experience. After receiving all of the entrees, he did receive assistance with waiting on our table to ensure our water glasses were full. Even with that assistance, we did have a beckon the host in order to pay our tabs. This all made for a long dining experience but it was well as we were in good company.
The largest disappointment was the cake. I completely understand the cake cutting fee. However, how the cake was cut, I would whether saved my feelings and dollars, and cut the cake in my car. The pictures show the slices of cake that were provided to both birthday celebratees. It may look as though we ate some or played around with it. Unfortunately, this is exactly how it was presented. Definitely putting a damper on the occasion. I would sincerely recommend cake cutting lessons for staff in the future and/or training on the small things that help make an occasion special.
We would definitely consider coming again. Maybe just for bar service as to not expect much from service.

I’ve always seen this gallery, and when I discovered there was a bar inside, I thought it would provide a nice evening out for a few cocktails. Upon discovering it was a restaurant as well, I was curious how the food and ambiance would be. Upon entering, it was just as expected: elevated, elegant, and relaxing. It reminded me of being in L.A. and seeing a restaurant through an ivy covered alleyway that you had to peek around if you wanted to discover more. A beautiful outside seating area (especially at night), covered patio area, and a dining room that was cozy & sexy. I loved the interior & the overall feeling of the atmosphere. Our server Jake (Jacob?) was amazing & provided amazing service & recommendations. Our cocktails were amazing, which consisted of a blackberry & bourbon martini, & an elderflower martini as well. Both were amazing & I love a good cocktail, so I definitely will be back to try more. We started with an order of oysters & some toasted ravioli. For our entrees, I ordered the lamb shank with couscous & mixed veggies, and my partner ordered the grouper bowl. Both dishes were delightful & full of flavor. For dessert, I ordered the apple fritters with ice cream, and my partner ordered an affogato. The fritters were absolutely amazing & our server even gifted us a couple extra. For our first time discovering and dining at this restaurant, I can say I thoroughly enjoyed the environment, the food, the service, and the music being played as well. With beautiful jazz & great food met with beautiful company, you can’t go wrong! Thank you to everyone at Vino!

We had a great experience, my date and I were very impressed with the atmosphere and the ambiance of the restaurant. We ordered cocktails and they were good. Our appetizer was very good, but wished they would have come out with the feta on the side as the waitress stated she wrote down. We followed up with another round of cocktails once our food was served. Once again, they were good and I ordered the same but my date got a specialty drink. We were both very pleased with our drinks again. The food was delicious. I ordered the tuna, which was a little gamey on it’s own but once it was dipped in the wasabi sauce it was perfect. The waitress was very attentive and in contstant, but not over whelming, contact to ensure we had a good experience. Overall, great experience and would return again.

Genuinely some of the worst service I’ve ever received in Birmingham. I visited two years ago with friends and received pretty sub par service, but tonight was just plain awful. Our table was seated at 7:30 and did not get to place our order until nearly 8:45. Didn’t get our check until 10 pm. I checked my phone and our party did not leave until 10:30 pm. It’s completely unacceptable to wait 3 hours for service and checks. I will not be returning.

Let me tell ya… this place has EVERYTHING on point. As soon as we walked in, the hostesses was excited to see us. She sat us at our table and then we fell in love with our waitress. The food was AMAZING. I’ve lived in Birmingham for 5 years and this was the best experience/food I’ve e experienced. The cucumber mojito and dirty martini was perfect. The oysters were perfect. The penne pasta was perfect. START TO TO FINISH… PERFECTION. Hands down, best place in Birmingham.
