Our Guestbook
“ My newlywed wife and I went here during our honeymoon, and it was truly a night we will remember for years to come. The reservation itself was painless and easy, and once we were in the restaurant, it was a perfect atmosphere. We were flawlessly guided to our reserved seating in front of the cozy fireplace with a view of the goings on of the Vin Rogue. Even a "congratulations" sign posted at our table. Our host for our spot, Megan, had a very friendly presence, knowledgeable of the restaurant and food, and was exceedingly helpful to us as we had our experience. The food was beautiful and delicious, we were waited on promptly and with smiles from all of the staff, and it was truly a beautiful time. Even as we asked for things to do in Durham with the rainy weather the staff made a list of places they recommended we visit. The staff, especially Megan, who went above and beyond, made us a wonderful night. We will be returning the next time we are in Durham. ”
“ Really good food. Good service. The Macaroni and Cheese is particularly remarkable -- so tasty and rich without being over the top. There are a lot of options which aren't on the menu. Good location too. ”
“ Spectacular food and service. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive and handsome. We enjoyed many food items (and drinks) with Oyster Gratinee and Lobster Salad being exceptional. ”
“ We celebrated our ten year anniversary here and everything was perfect. Everyone was so attentive and the food was so good! My favorite was the goat cheese tart as an appetizer but we loved our entrees too. The dessert was amazing so don't skip it! I look forward to returning in the future. The restaurant is bigger than I thought from the outside and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Thank you for taking such good care of us as we celebrated. ”
“ The service was THE BEST! The folks there were chill yet knowledgeable and attentive. The food prep and presentation was most pleasant! They have an excellent wine menu so - enjoy! Would return again! ”
“ Went here for a cute date night and the food was amazing. Our waitress was so chill which made our experience even better. Nothing like having a waitress stop you every minute to ask how the food is. I'm glad she wasn't the way. We didn't feel rushed to eat or leave. The drinks were great and will definitely be coming back soon. The atmosphere was very romantic and low lit, such a great place. ”
“ Simply delicious! The restaurant is so quaint and beautiful. Feels like you're actually in France! Our server was just awesome and so accommodating. A manger stopped by and was very friendly and genuinely concerned that everything was perfect. French onion soup, fries, and baked oysters were all outstanding! Will return soon! ”
“ Phenomenal event space. We had our rehearsal dinner here and the event team could not have been more helpful. Whether it was choosing dishes, wine, or which space to hold the event in. LeeAnn was quick to respond anytime I had a question. I cannot recommend this restaurant and space enough! ”
