text: Vincents was my third restaurant week stop for Spring and is a five star but my restaurant week visit was a bit of a bummernnTheir food is fantastic Their service is fantastic It is an expensive restaurant with the entrees in the mid thirties each but worth every penny I hate spending a lot of money and leaving a place underwhelmed but I will happily spend it at a place like thisnnOn the down side this is the only restaurant this week so far that when I told them I would not be eating dessert they did not sub out something else I forgive them a bit considering of all the places they are taking the biggest hit in terms of average revenue per table during restaurant week but let me compare this to two years agonnTwo years ago a fourth guest spontaneously joined my table of three Then she said she was not eating she just wanted to hang out I was a bit embarrassed by this but said nothing Then she started to eat off of everyone is plates During restaurant week that is completely unacceptable and they could have been quite justified in charging us a plate sharing fee which this year is nnInstead Vincents showed their incredible finesse and taste They brought her an empty plate to make her food stealing easier Then at dessert time they did not ask what we wanted they just bought one of each of the four available desserts They said well there were four of you so we just thought you would like one of each Even though she did not pay a dime This was a deeply classy way to say we see what you are doing but will not stoop to your levelnnI left a large tip about and have told countless people about how Vincents is the number one date place on my list for great food and service above and beyond any I have ever seennnSo this year my sixth time going three during restaurant week three regular visits it was really disappointing that they did not even try to be creative with me And no it was not busy when we were there I almost feel like the waitress did not even ask or something and made the call herself I bet a manager would have come to explain if they had made that call The difference between two years ago was a real disappointment But what I did eat was of course fantastic The lobster roll was perfect on a slightly sweet roll the ravioli was delicious and delicate Just what I expectednnSo I am only rating them four stars for this review for their lack of empathy and creativity and for being less amazing than they used to be But it really is my favorite date place so maybe next year I will give them the star back
