We dined at Vin Rouge on Xmas eve and it was amazing. The perfect combination of delicious French cuisine and a festive ambience. We were seated right by the pretty Christmas tree and our family enjoyed an outstanding meal and attentive service. Highly recommended!!

Unbelievably amazing experience. Service was phenomenal, food was insanely good, and they went above and beyond for me. The waiters/staff were all extremely professional and welcoming. Plus it was my birthday and they went out of their way to give me a card and surprise me with this ridiculously delicious dark chocolate mousse. I’ve never felt so comfortable dining anywhere and treating so amazingly. Thank you so much.

Consistently good, always charming. Service was ok. They bring coffee with cream & sugar, but no spoon. They never put spoons on the table. Had to search for waiter to bring spoon. No big deal, but an easy fix.

approximately our 10-12th visit. An excellent, well paced meal on the (indoor) patio. "Jax" our waiter - was great, honestly, I am always impressed by the understated - he and the rest of the staff managed a busy evening with quiet panache. well done. plus he chased us down as we were leaving with our leftovers. The mussels were delicious (we should have asked for our baguette early to dip but next time!), The roast chicken and macaroni and cheese (shared - more than plenty for 2) was delicious. still our favorite in Durham!
