Vinos Finos

Vinos Finos is a hidden gem. It has a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere and you are always greeted with friendly, professional staff. They have high quality food and excellent wines that you don't see in other restaurants. They also have a very generous pour of the wines vs more expensive and smaller glasses of wine in other establishments. The unique, european style location is like nothing else around. We continue to come back to Vinos and we're happy to be regulars here!

We were visiting from Austin and I picked this place out...my wife is WSET Diploma and working on her Master of Wine. The wine menu has a few things on it she liked but we were hoping for more...alas, not their fault--it's just a NC market I'm afraid as it seems everytime we look for a place visiting family that moved here, finding that ultra-shiek cool options, great small plate bomb wine place. Never fear--service and food here were good, and it's a pleasant atmosphere...worth visiting.

This tapas restaurant is something else and it's amazing!!! We loved it, the service was great, the food was super tasty and the whole environment was super relaxing and welcoming. This is a great place for date nights, groups and everything in between, definitely something adult friendly kid free environment. Their wine selection is really good. For food we went for the lamb sliders, caprese jumbo lump crab cakes and the grill honey/spicy swordfish all the food was another level, (the fish was our favorite) but everything else was so good that it melted in your mouth and their cocktail was really good if you are not into wine. We enjoyed all the food we tried and definitely will be back to try more of their food. The chef was out on the floor checking in with the guests and making sure everything was good, which is something you don't see often. It's a place to go for locals but even if it's your first time you feel like a regular and excellent service!!!! I will go back for sure and I will highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥

During my day exploring, I finally visited Vinos, nestled in Lafayette Village. Very nice spot for a nice glass of wine with an overwhelming amount of wine options for wine lovers. Perfect place to drop in for wine, cheese boards, tapas, and even desserts. You will not be disappointed. I had the Cabernet Flight, which was a burst of blackberry along with warm spice and vanilla, and I enjoyed it. Service: Only one person was working the bar, and that individual was also responsible for folks dining in and outside. He was fast, but I think stretching staff members short takes away from experience. Some people walked in and waited a while before anyone greeted them. There should be a host. No one should walk in and not be acknowledged. That's not the best look, but besides that, when that person was freed up, he did a great job servicing everyone. I get it times are tough, and it's important to keep businesses afloat, but rethinking this process would greatly improve the overall experience.

Went there on the Friday night before Father's Day, and we really enjoyed it! We did have the kids with us and it wasn't as big of a hit with them, but we made up it for it later. The empanadas we're not as good as would have been expected, but they were still better than what you would spend for something comparable at your local Tavern.
