"Vidrio’s dining room gives off strong oil tycoon vibes, with soaring ceilings, colorful blossom-shaped glass decorations, and a smaller bar overlooking the street, but this Mediterranean restaurant isn’t all show. The menu might read kind of generic—there’s roasted chicken, hangar steak, and seared salmon—but everything is expertly executed. The skillet cornbread with truffle butter will make you wonder why you ever settled for boxed, and seasonal specials like lamb tagine or baklava are worth trying if you spot them." - eric ginsburg

My husband and I had the best experience dining at Vidrio. From the excellent service to every single plate tasting impeccably, we were blown away! Each plate was flavorful and made our tastebuds bounce in the best way possible. Truly exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

This place is mind blowing pretty ( maybe a little dramatic) but it’s pretty. Beef skewers are good price and taste really good. The carrot from the seasonal menu was so delicious. Didn’t know simple sautéed carrots can be so tasty. It’s a good vibe here folks. Come check it out yourself

Initially I had left a one star review due to a very disappointing experience with the Mothers Day brunch event, but Said and the crew at Vidrio took the time to make it up and then some to me and to my family. We experienced excellent and attentive service, along with absolutely fantastic food. I highly recommend the Moroccan Beef Skewers, the Halloumi and the Seared Ora King Salmon. My partner had the Hanger steak and scallops and also loved them. Most restaurants will either just write off or ignore a customer who had a bad experience but the folks here stepped up and made it right, making a repeat customer out of me.

Thank you to Said and the Vidrio team for a spectacular dining experience! Our waitress Kristen was fantastic and even made my non drinking Mom a custom mock tail! 🥰 My guest and I enjoyed the saint 75 cocktail, their delicious take on a French 75. For our small plates; we tried the beef skewers, the most amazing dressed oysters ever, flatbread, and patatas bravas. Everything was super tasty but the oysters were unforgettable! For our large plates, we went with the hanger steak (super tasty my Mom wouldn’t even share a bite lol), a yummy squid ink risotto special and I had the crispy pork belly ate every morsel! I can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed our experience. I went here with my wife to celebrate our 7th anniversary on a Sunday night. We definitely would come back. For the “large plates”, my wife had the pork belly, crispy sweet and delicious. I had the hanger steak. Cooked to perfection. We also had some “small plates”, we had the beef skewers, charred octopus, the cheese croquettes and the artisan bread. All very good. Our waitress was a lovely young lady from Germany (I believe her name is Kiara), she was great. Also Said was very kind and took pictures of me and my wife. The place is gorgeous. The food was tasty, and service was excellent. We also made some new friends in the couple seating next to us, which is a plus. The only draw back was we felt the portions of the were a bit small for the price. We will probably come back although not as often as we would like due to the price.

99% AMAZING!! Only flaw is the floors 🥴 Went for an early dinner on a Monday. Service and food impeccable. Tapas plus a bottle of wine and glass of cava to end the meal. Charred octopus, patatas bravas, baked feta special, and fig and Gorgonzola flatbread. All hot, well seasoned abd well balanced. The elouan Chardonnay went with everything, but the cava really cut the richness of the flatbread. Emma was our server. She was awesome! Blend of checking in, observing, and circling back. Super friendly! Again, only con is the floors. You know when you walk across a restaurant and your shoes stick or you server walks away and it sounds like glue… that’s the feel. Either the floors were wrong or the deep clean regiment is off. Would absolutely return.

The food here is disappointing. The cooking methods seem off, making the dishes quite unpalatable. The flatbread was burnt, and while the octopus was passable, its accompanying side/souce was terrible. The meat and cheese plate is overpriced and oddly served with a cheese knife despite the random slicing. The beef skewers were somewhat spicy with an unusual taste. The wine was decent, but the prices were higher than average. The interior is the only redeeming feature of this restaurant. Service is slow. Servant preferred to wander around preparing other tables rather than bringing drinks or silverware. 3 stars because of the atmosphere.

3/5. Starting with the positives -- atmosphere inside is beautiful, well decorated. Our server was nice as well. Downfall -- the food was just ok at best, nothing that wow'd us or made me feel like "I have to come back for this." We had to send the octopus back (we rarely, if ever send anything back anywhere we go; it had a spoiled, fishy taste. Our server took care of this right away and took it off the bill). 3 of the 4 entrees were actually pretty good, the hanger steak, salmon, and pork belly. The pork belly was cooked perfectly, but the portion size wasn't worth $37 (at least try to beef it up with heartier sides, a quarter cup of lentils and some sauce isn't helping the case here). The dining experience here wasn't altogether terrible, but in a city with tons of restaurants, this was a 1 and done.
