The food was outstanding. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming and showed an amazing familiarity with the wine list. The 16 year old dining with us ordered the mocktail and we didn’t think to mention pineapple allergy. As our waiter presented the drink to her, he told her what it was, including the pineapple juice in it. As soon as he found out about the allergy, he took the drink away and returned within moments with a fresh mocktail using a different recipe without pineapple. We didn’t have to ask him to, he just took care of us without complaint.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Vin Rouge and it was lovely. They thoughtfully put a discreet happy anniversary card on our table, and every single member of the wait staff wished us well. It was charming!
