Editorial Review for Vincent - A Restaurant – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Stylish simplicity (dark wood, white linens) graces this downtown space, located on Nicollet Mall across from Orchestra Hall. Beautiful people pack the place for dinner, often creating lags in service. But at lunchtime, the place is sunny and subdued. With his name on the line, Chef Vincent Francoual is proud of what he prepares. Appetizers include a carpaccio of red beets with creamy goat cheese. Vincent's superb way with fish includes a fennel seed-crusted salmon.

I went with some business associates on a Tuesday night. We didn't have reservations but they weren't busy and could easily accomodate us. Our server was very good. She managed to be there when we needed her but she was not intrusive. The food was good but not great. Starters were well received. The mushroom rissotto is enough to get me back. Two of us at the table ordered the rissotto and after the first bite neither said much until the plate was empty. Two others had theScallop Starter and raved which prompted me to order it as my entree. Things went a little wrong after that. My scallops could have been warmer but I didn't send them back. One person at the table stated there was so much going on with his walleye dish that he wasn't sure he ever tasted the walleye or could say for certain that it was walleye on the plate. I didn't have dessert but did taste one of the specials, a passion fruit sorbet. It was so good, I'm thinking about going just for dessert. I do recommend Vincent - A Restaurant. The Starters were amazing and I want to try other things on their menu. We were never hurried and all enjoyed the evening.
Pros: Great Service
Cons: Some disappointing dishes

Vincent is a great guy. He's like his food mellow without pretense and dedicated to making you happy. Vincent's isn't fancy French food, it is about the food the French eat. Sometimes at home, competent, swayed toward Alsace and it is what it is. It is a great bar, you'll find fine food, service and drinks there. The bread and butter are super. It is a nice night out and a major winner for first dates.
Pros: great bar food
Cons: none
