Vincent’s

I'm sorry but our experience wasn't good. When you're looking for fine dining it's usually for a special occasion and you want your night to be exceptional. I'm going to try and save you money and time. Here were our issues and pictures to match. 1. Our water glass was dirty with dish towel fuzz all over the rim. 2. We got the French Onion soup and mine came with a nice leek on top for garnish. My wife's didn't. 3. French onion soup also had burned hard flakes from the bottom of a pan floating in it. The chefs explanation was it's sediment from the bone broth. I'm sorry but I didn't read bone broth sediment on the menu! Lol 4. Dessert had a chocolate sufflé but they didn't disclose that it was an almond flower sufflé... It also tasted like it had coconut in it which was also not on the menu. 5. The decor is kind of off putting. It's like they're trying way to hard to show it's a French restaurant. Fine dining in my opinion is elegant, clean, and delicious. 6. The plating was cool but color was weird on the main course. Looked kind of like a poop streak on the plate. Maybe I watch too much Master Chef... Okay let's talk about the good because I definitely gave 2 starts for a reason. 1. The main course was pretty damn good. Kobe beef ravioli, short rib, and steak. 2. The dessert I got was really good. Lots of whipped deliciousness and fruit. Creamy lemony dolops and cheese cake-esque puddings... 3. Service was stellar. For $75 dollars a plate there's 6 other places I would go spend my money. You're paying for memories at places like this. An experience. Unfortunately ours wasn't great barly even good. Bellamy's down the street crushes this place for similar prices.

Found this place during restaurant week, but will definitely return for their regular menu as our dishes were delicious. All ingredients are fresh and seasonal from the local farmer's market. Filet and lamb were cooked perfectly. French onion soup and tartar were great appetizers, and the dessert options were delicious (especially the apple trio for the Fall). The staff was nice and attentive, checking on us and refilling water, and gave great recommendations on food and wine pairings, including a port with dessert. Overall amazing experience for a special night out and a treat to find this place!

What a lovely restaurant in Escondido. Beautiful ambiance catching your eye as soon as you walk in, very attentive staff, and a menu with extremely tasty options. The French onion soup was served hot and to perfection, as well as the mushroom ravioli being beyond delicious. If you’re a fan of sweets and desserts, you can’t go wrong with their options here, wow! This is a beautiful restaurant that cares about the guests and quality of the food! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a tasty, elegant dinner spot! I will be back!

Spend our anniversary here. It is one of the new restaurant in Escondido. We decided to try it. We had Oyster and it was fresh and delicious. Then we had the onion soup the best Ive had. My husband had the lamb and I had the picanah steak the seasoning is perfect. Dessert was the Sundae its just okay but Im not a fan of sweet. Spend $200 with tip. Its a bit pricey but it is our anniversay. Staff was great and friendly. I didnt get any refills for my ice tea or water because there were only 2 or 3 dining staff. The bartender had to helpef out.

Probably the most I’ve spent on dinner anywhere (in Escondido of all places?) but the amount of effort that went into the food presented to our table was mind boggling. Three courses, each of which had more variety and complexity on a single plate than I’d ever put into an entire meal. A small dining room with only a handful of tables to support their business means that you should only go when you’re willing to spend well on a dinner because they deserve every penny of it - their chef is putting his/her heart into that restaurant at a level I’ve never seen in California and not at all since leaving Austin. 5 stars.
