We had high hopes for Vinny's. The atmosphere is nice and they had a decent wine selection. Then the food started arriving. They totally forgot our appetizer , a muddy marsala mushroom affair. It arrived during our entree course after I asked about it (big mistake on my part). The caprese salad was very showy but had close to no... more

We arrived early on a Friday (about 5:00 PM) with no reservation and were seated immediately. Our server was classy, warm, and attentive. Everything we ordered was outstanding, but the Caprese salad was exceptional. I won't give away the secret, but the presentation was a truly delightful and beautiful surprise! My husband and I will go back to Vinny's every... more

Just got back from Vinny's. We loved it from start to finish. Service was excellent with a truly funny, charming waiter. He might have been the owner or manager, not sure. The bread was warm and the crust was just crunchy enough. One reviewer complained about not having oil/balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic at the beginning of the meal, but... more

Must say I was not impressed at all with Vinny's. No more view of the ocean, and I think the new owners still advertise this. But lets be real , there is NO view! Food was very so so, but very pricey for what we got. No more lovely bread rolls with balsamic, olive oil, and roasted garlic like before... more

The food was just PERFECT!! We started out with dessert as usual. My husband and I love a resturant that serve a great dinner bread. The dinner bread was awesome! The dinner selection was delicious. Everything we had at the resturant was GOOD! We love it and will definately have dinner here again the next time we're in Friday Harbor.... more

We stayed in Friday Harbor for one night after spending the day biking the island. The menu choices were perfect. The staff was friendly, attentive (as needed) and the ambiance was nice. Although not a view restaurant, enough natural light gets through and when it's dark, you can't see out anyway. Very relaxing and hit the spot for us. more

My partners had steak and were content. I had unrecognizable veal marsala that was the colour of ink. Owner/server was better suited to administration. Place was packed so maybe I was just unlucky. more

Have the calamari appetizer. Absolutely fantastic. Also, go before the view is completely blocked off by a developer's condo complex right in front of them. Absolutely the classiest place in Friday Harbor. more

We planned a family gathering in Friday Harbor. Our daughter and son-in-law drove up from Seattle, and we all took the ferry from Anacortes, an hour's ride. We were meeting our son, who was finishing his summer as a kayak guide on Sunday, so my daughter made reservations at Vinny's for Sunday evening. The person who answered the phone laughed... more
