We had an amazing time at Vinoklet for their Valentine's Day special! The place was packed, as expected, but every single server available was attentive, kind, and efficient. If we had questions, they were answered. The food and wine were both delicious and well worth the price. We had only ever been to wine tasting or art events in the past, we will definitely check out their future dining/event specials!

We weren’t sure who our table attendant was after being seated. We had to ask a few different attendants for assistance. No one came around and filled the water. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice but we also felt like we were packed in like sardines. Overall it was a great night.

On Saturday, January 7, 2023, I had my 64th Birthday Party at Vinoklet Winery and Restaurant. I had a party of 6 and the only problem we had was that only one of us was a good cook the rest of us was just okay. Two of us didn't get our meat all the way done like we would have preferred it. But overall, we had a great time with the wine tasting and just the atmosphere itself. This restaurant is a special place for me because we use to bring my Mama there for Mother's Day and on Easter, so it brought back great memories for me. I was glad to make new memories with a few of my girlfriend who was experiencing this beautiful place for the first time. They were quite impressed. Kudos Vinoklet I see making many more memories in the months to come.

As a first timer, thought this was a buffet, and it was. Was seated at a table but not instructed on whwew the buffet was ( in another room) or how it worked. As we were the first guest there we just sat there, not knowing what to do, or maybe ordering at the table.

We absolutely love Vinoklet Winery, the ambience, the people, the wine. The steak was grilled perfectly, which seems rare at most restaurants now a days, but received 2 perfect medium steaks! However, wish the side dishes were larger portioned and some nicer serving cups/utensils are used to up the dining experience. Such as plastic single serve dressing cups are very tacky looking.

I was TRULY over JOYED!!! I only gave the food a 9 because I had to cook it and I'm not great at grilling so my steak was undercooked and well that's that. But We had a BLAST!!!! The Bride to Be was sooooooo Happy and said that was the BEST Semi Bridal Shower she's witness so Thank You soooooo much and we will definitely be back if you don't mind!

We wanted something different for Easter dinner after church. This was the first time visiting and trust me we'll be back. I will say everyone was so friendly and helpful. They explained which wines were sweet and gave us options for dinner. We have the best view of the wine yard and pond. Lovely ambiance nad the food was hot and tasty. Everyone finished their plate and dessert. Just wish it was more options for desset. Mom wanted carrot cake and it was gone when she went to get some. But she had cheesecake and that work. I am in a wine group on Facebook and will be telling them we should check this place out. Again over 10 plus and more.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Vinokolet on New Years Eve. The staff was friendly, professional and careful due to Covid. They all wore masks. The food was delicious. We were happy the wine tasting was done at our table which was safe. We were able to wear our masks when we were away from our table. Overall a great experience and pleasant evening.

My wife and I attended on 9/11/2021 on the first day of the Art Festival. It was a little crowded, but we dealt with it. We were supposed to have had a particular table reserved by Kim, the manager, but that particular seating was taken by another party, and we were re-positioned to another location with a lesser view/ambiance. We were disappointed with that, as we'd stopped by and had that conversation with Kim personally a couple of months prior, so we were definitely put off in her performance in that matter. She should have stuck to her word, as that caus=ght us off guard. However, one of the dining staff, Renee, stepped in and repositioned us, and was extremely kind and attentive throughout the entire affair, so we were genuinely grateful for her...she deserves MASS kudos. Her and Jessica, at the bar, were exemplary. Other than MAYBE a discounted price structure...it IS a LITTLE high...we had a good time.

I apologize that the ratings would not respond on this computer. Our overall experience is always a 10. We wish the salad bar was open to serve ourselves like it used to be. The only thing that went wrong was I requested a seat inside, but was seated in the sun in the glassed in area. I cannot be exposed to the sun, I got an immediate headache and could not stay. The servers are the best here. Thank you for asking about this fine place. Perhaps we could sit away from the sun area the next time. Perhaps I should call them directly. It could be that my note about the seating was not seen, even though I called a day ahead. Their salad bar is our favorite in this city. Hopefully it will be fully open at come point. Thanks so much to everyone! [email protected]

I loved the grilling but I don't like the fact I'm forced to eat all my food and no be able to take left overs home I paid $100 so I should be able to take what I eat home I was upset about that

I have been to Vinoklet frequently for the wine festival and summer fair, but this was the first time in years I had been for dinner. It was great. My only critique would be of the process of dinner. I know that since COVID buffets are a thing of the past, but the area that we went to do grill & get our salads/sides was quite busy at times and was a bit of a bottleneck traffic as it does not have a big walkway for guests. Other than that, the value, food and scenery was wonderful! We will def be back!

Food was great and everything was wonderful. Just one problem. My daughter-in-law order wine off the menu --she enjoyed the wine but was very upset that the cost of the "joseph" wine was almost triple price of all the other wines. The other wines had their price listed but this particular wine was scratched out and no price listed. She did have two bottles that she shared with the table but was very shocked at the cost of $70 for the two bottles. I admit she should have asked the price but she didnt give it a thought--she thought that the wine was just added because it was scratched out on the menu. The waitress said she did not know the wine was that expensive---I did complain and was given a gift card---I just don t want anyone else to be in the situation,

It would be good if they brought the wine tasting to the table. The service was somewhat unorganized. They need a couple more side items to choose from at that price point, but they only had two.

For my husband it was hard to wait for salad and desserts the line was a lil long. Suppose this is caused from covid.

It was our first time and we were there on a Wednesday. We had a beautiful view of the winery which was nice. I'm glad we weren't seated inside the main building as the music was fairly loud. My only real complaint is that our waitress never came back to check on us. I had to flag her down for coffee and even for dessert. We ordered the berry dessert. I am not exaggerating, it took 15-20 minutes for dessert to come. She never cleared our table, other waitresses walking by cleared it. Our waters were never refilled and she never asked if we wanted another glass of wine. She literally NEVER came back unless I flagged her down.

We came to enjoy the food,wine and blue grass music. Unfortunately we were seated out on the enclosed porch with a large group and could not enjoy the music. Otherwise the view of sunset was great.

Server only checked on us a couple times at the beginning then had to go get her to leave. Spaghetti noodles were way overdone and mushy, bar girl was very rude when we tried to just pay our bill said I had to wait in the very long line of people waiting for drinks and wine. Server did finally see me waiting and helped me pay it without waiting!

My family and I love Vinkolet and have been here many times. However, yesterday was not a great experience. My son brought his girlfriend who had never been to Vinkolet so I wanted her to have the best experience. I asked specifically to sit in the atrium for the reservation- but I was told there wasn’t a table for 5- we are small people and could have easily sat at a table for 4 or 6 people. Instead we were sat at a very large round table- we were not approached for 10-15 minutes and then we’re asked if we had a reservation or if we were a walk in. We had a reservation. Our wine tasting was with another group who had their backs to us. The people working the sides and salad were very distracted and caught up in their conversations and half the time didn’t know we were waiting. Then we went outside to enjoy the fair but it had closed. I specifically had chosen that night to enjoy the food, ambiance and the craft show- but everything was closed when we got done eating. Not sure if it was because Vinkolet was so busy and or short staffed but the overall experience was rushed and disappointing. The food is never the best quality but we go there for the ambiance and the experience. However, that was not a good experience and for the price we paid for the food and ambiance- I expected more. We’ve been going to Vinkolet for 20 years and I love the little oasis with Cincinnati but last night was very disappointing.

Beautiful restaurant and surroundings. We made a reservation and were told we would be in the main dining room where the music was but when we got there, the only thing available was up stairs or the gazebo. We chose upstairs and that was a mistake. I think they forgot us. We did get orders placed and enjoyed some delicious wine but that was it. Nobody came back to check on us, see if we wanted more to drink or dessert,or to even bring us out check. We were the only ones upstairs too. Our mistake. The food and service was ok. The wine was excellent.

Normally I come on the weekend! But my husband and I dined in on Wednesday evening and order the NY Strip. It was very tough and I did not enjoy it. I normally have a pleasant experience. The waiter was exceptional as usual. My only complaint was the steak was not good.

For the price and being advertised as an buffet style sides the lil Lady that serves them could be a bit more generous with the portions ..then she acts like your taking food off her plate when or if you ask for a little more
