Vincent's on Camelback seems out of place in its neighborhood. The restaurant had a lot of stone walls and large wooden doors that made us feel like we were in a medieval castle in the middle of the desert. Ambience aside, I wasn't really fond of the food. It wasn't quite French and it wasn't quite good enough to make it worth the trip from the office. The entrees were decent but the appetizers and dessert were disappointing.
We came for work and had a private room off to the side, which was nice. There weren't too many other people dining on a Tuesday night that I could see. We started with appetizers - I don't really know what happened, but I guess since we were a group, we ended up with individual servings of various appetizers. I ended up with the vegetarian stuff: stuffed pepper, salad, and potato pancake. It just wasn't that good so I skipped it.
For the entree, I had the duck, which was tender and fell off the bone nicely. Others also enjoyed their entrees, such as the quinoa, rack of lamb, and white fish special. For dessert, we ordered various soufflés and they brought some flourless chocolate cakes from the chef. We didn't end up finishing dessert because the cakes weren't very chocolately and the soufflés just tasted overwhelmingly eggy. Mine had areas which had the consistency of poached egg white, which wasn't quite right. Luckily we were full already, but dessert was definitely disappointing.
It seems like the food here is hit or miss - I did like my duck. I just don't have the patience to find the menu items which are good. Service was pretty good, given how large our group was, but I definitely wouldn't choose to come back unless it was grudgingly for a work event.
