Answer: I have mixed feelings about this place because I think it has potential, and because I think heavy meat-eaters might like it. I'll start with the good stuff to counter my low stars . . . The place is big with a large airy open space in the middle. They have live music on some nights and the space would be good for dancing, though I didn't get the feeling that dancing will be happening here -- maybe I'm wrong? The music that was playing while I was there was definitely not conducive to dancing -- VERY subdued, not that great. There are separate (but fairly open) large areas at the sides and backs of the restaurant. These are great spaces for large parties. The service was good, the meat-eaters in my group liked the meat (I'm vegan), and the owners spent a nice amount of time chatting with us and answering our questions. They're really trying to do something unique and serve high-quality food. They get their produce from a local farm -- One Windmill Farms -- which is awesome. But that's the weird part -- I buy my own produce from that same farm, so I was really surprised to find that the vegetarian food my husband and I ordered was really bland. I don't know if it's the way they prepared the food, or if the produce they got that day just happened to be flavorless, but I have no interest in going back to find out. So what did I get? The Angel Hair Pasta and the Bruscetta. It was the most bland pasta dish I've ever eaten. The bruscetta wasn't 100% flavorless -- it was drowning in garlic. I normally love a lot of garlic, but this was definitely overkill, and the tomato and basil were flavorless, just like on the pasta. The bread was too soggy for me, too, but my husband liked it. There is an impression that Il Vinaio is a wine bar. It's not. Go to D'Vine if you want a Wine Bar. The wine list at Il Vinaio is limited. I had the Malbec and found it no better quality than any Malbec I can get at a typical restaurant -- just o.k. Overall, it was the most flavorless food I can remember getting at a restaurant, but it was priced high. BTW, there isn't much for a vegetarian to eat here. That didn't affect my star rating, but since I yelp for vegetarians, I wanted to mention it.

Answer: Never taking Bruce here again. Only took him once, they never answered my phone calls or returned my phone calls prior to dropping him off. Our dog was there for four days and three nights, he was limping when we brought him home because his paws had been blistered so badly from the hot asphalt. They obviously weren't monitored properly. He is now missing chunks of skin and cries when you touch his paws. Beware!!!

Answer:
If I could choose no stars i would. Frozen vegetables and flavorless food- that's what authentic is all about. I applaud the effort but this restaurant should contact Gordon Ramsay. AVOID! Florindinos is more authentic
