"Vinya is a restaurant and wine bar and also has a really great liquor store. The menu has everything from morcilla spring rolls and a simple gnocchi to a huge smoked short rib you can make lettuce wraps out of. We’re not totally sure how to categorize this place, so we’ll just call it what it is: a pleasure. Coming here never feels like a chore. The food is always great, reservations don't require weeks of hunting, service is affable, and lazily browsing their excellent wine and liquor selection is the perfect way to digest the meal." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"Vinya is a restaurant and wine bar that has a couple great options for eating alone. The bar is where you’ll want to sit if you’re feeling social. It’s right by the entrance, so you can watch everyone who comes in while eating morcilla spring rolls and sipping wine. But if you’re looking for a quieter spot where you can pretend to read a book, then the banquets tucked in the shallow coves are where you’ll want to enjoy the huge smoked short rib. The menu is diverse and we’re not totally sure how to categorize this place, so we’ll just call it what it is: a pleasure. The food is great, service is affable, and browsing their excellent wine and liquor selection is the perfect way to keep yourself entertained before the food arrives." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"How to get in touch: Email them here. Vinya Table has a separate dining room on the second floor that can fit up to 20 people at one long table. It has a giant backlit wall of wine, green felt chairs, and is completely private. Menu options range from $55 per person for lunch to $125 for something they call “the whole mile,” which includes an amuse-bouche, shareable appetizers, individual entrees, and family-style dessert. Their bar area, lounge, and wine shop are also available to reserve for parties between 12 to 45, but those are all semi-private options." - virginia otazo
