Veni Vidi Vici - Meatball /pizza/ salad/ Stockholm royale - Bars Near Me - Fresno, California

Dear yelp, I've never in my life have had better service than Cindy in a bandana and Zach on a sick one. I fucking love it here. I got a mimosa and a kidney transplant and it was only $36. Chicken is good too fr. You don't even have to wear a bra. read more

Prices have gotten ridiculous! $50 for a pork chop and an additional $5 to switch out anything on you plate. Chicken dish was mainly a huge pile of mashed potatoes and a small chicken breast that was just okay. Probably won't be back for a while. read more

I went here the other night for a Fresno Beer Runners meet up. I was hungry after my run so I got an appetizer. I landed on their Eggplant, tomato dish drizzled with vinaigrette and topped with arugula. There were mozzarella balls that came on the side. It was really good. It looked beautiful too. The bartenders and servers were really nice. Good service. Their patio is nice, especially on warm nights. Def a place to go back to. read more

What the heck...I've been coming to this place since 2000. I'm going to give it a 4 because I'm guessing the gross/burnt Apps we had was a fluke. Always a cool relaxed vibe. Of course I'll be back! Its more about the atmosphere...hoping they don't start to let that slip too. read more

If you get the Reddit mod looking server just go ahead and leave, I waited there for I'm not even kidding a little over 45 minutes before I just left and ate at the house, he took orders for 10 of the 14 people at our table (the other 3 weren't there to eat, they were just there to celebrate my grandmas birthday) but whenever I tried to order he just flat out ignored me, or just left before I could get a word in. I always try to be understanding and polite to servers, but this is by far the worst customer service experience I've ever had. From what I heard the food was good even for being pretty pricy, and the place had a great vibe, but I literally couldn't order after I hadn't eaten all day. read more

Great food...fantastic service..great ambiance. I knew the original chefs, and the excellence of the restaurant still continues after 30 years or more. I attended the original opening and lots of various events hosted by Tim and Adams. Had been awhile since I had eaten there and I was not disappointed. Might be hard to find the first time if you don't know the Tower District, but when u do finally get there, you will be rewarded. Also, so great to see a bartender/waitress that was also there from the beginning, albeit, she had left and returned a couple of times, but still was nice to see her there. Gotta give it a try and venture to the Tower! read more

Pretty good place with great drinks . Sit out side . It was ants on the table but food was really good and come out hot. I would definitely have a better sign outside. Easy to drive pass. read more

Phenomenal food and service...we have always wondered but never wandered and time well it tick-tocks away. This is an absolutely fabulous experience, the ambience is relaxing with a touch of old world flair. The food is plentiful and savory the wine list pairs perfectly with the menu. As you can tell from the picture i made it halfway through the plate (just to be sure) prior to posting. Highly recommend read more

Veni Vidi Vici - Ribeye - Bars Near Me - Fresno, California

To start off service was slooooow, patio sitting was nice. The plate presentation, 3.5 out of 5. Flavor 3.5 out of 5. We were there for bday celebration 6 at the table, we had 3 separate checks. They charged each check a 20% service charge for being at a table of 6 or more. That being said, they dinged us an extra $90 for sitting with our friends. They ain't all that!​ read more

I didn't know they started charging for entry. Went in with a party of 5+. Dude goes, okay for entry of 4 $60 for us special. We looked at him like uhh okay...he kept throwing "more deals". I told him it's fine we just came back from Vibes and just looking for a chill bar and started walking away. He starts yelling, ohh Vibe and their place are sister bars and it's the same since we paid over there then he'll let us all in for free...lol. WHAT? No thanks. read more

This is a true hidden gem in the Tower District. Our New Year's Eve dinner was PHENOMENAL. Excellent food and warm/attentive hospitality (Lydia was our server) in a cozy setting. Normally, for New Year's Eve in any restaurant, one would expect less than optimal conditions, but our meal was wonderful by any standard. Our experience was conparable with a higher-end San Francisco restaurant. Fair prices too, especially drinks. Our meal-- Salads: the pear-arugula; and the white shrimp. Entrees: grilled juniper pork chop; and grilled herb salmon. We shared a dessert: waffle with ice cream. We want to go back soon. read more

There's a lot to like about Veni Vidi Vici, but there's also some things that need improvement. The food was pretty great; while the menu is fairly small, everything we tried was really yummy, with the spaghetti being particularly good. The drinks are also good, especially the Singapore sling (something that's actually hard to find, but this place does it right). Everyone else in our party also liked their food too. Finally, it was great that the patio was open. The real downside to Veni Vidi Vici is the service. First of all, it was super slow; it took forever for someone to come over to help us, a long time to get our drinks, and then even longer to put our food order in...we wanted to order earlier, but it was more than an hour after sitting down that we were able to order dinner. Our mains actually came out fairly fast after we finally ordered, but it was still almost 1:30 after sitting down. Finally, the server completely forgot what our order was when we tried to pay, and it took forever and multiple "confirmations" for them to get a correct check to us. After all of that, they had the nerve to put a 20% service charge on the bill (we did have a large group, but with that service, 20% was not appropriate). While I really like the food here, I'm not so sure I would come back because of how lousy the service was. read more

The food was over sauced,the service was slow. The outside dining was very nice. Big surprise at the end of the night, so I understand the service fee they charge for a sitting of 6 or more, there were 3 bills for the table. What I disagree with was that they charged each bill $78.50×3=235.50! I felt that was a little extreme for a so so dinner. read more

Set in the heart of Tower District, I am used to coming here for drinks so it was fun to come for dinner for my friend's birthday. It's a low lit industrialish vibe inside and the bartender/server was attentive. Their menu offerings are clearly thought out and higher end. I got a sausage ravioli that was outstanding. The sauce was rich and the dish filled me up easily with eating only half of it. I would love to go back and try a couple other things, everything people got looked so good! read more

Second time here for dinner and it didn't disappoint. After having some issues with a reservation elsewhere, I was so thrilled they were able to quickly accommodate our group of three on a busy Saturday night. Loves the pre dinner bread, pretty sure it was sour dough. Menu was good, I went with a burger and fries ($22) and my two friends did shrimp pasta ($36) and the salmon rigatoni ($39). Definitely on the more pricey side but I must say, huge portion sizes! If I went back I would definitely consider sharing a plate. We each had a drink as well, I did the spicy cucumber margarita which honestly wasn't my favorite but not bad either. I was so giddy when they brought me out a delicious brownie with ice cream for a birthday treat! Overall great experience, would love to come back in the future! Overall read more

Service was great! Music is waaaaayyy too damn loud. Musicians were good but please no need for a speaker in a 10x30 room.

Service is great food is like no other restaurant and the ambiance is amazing always a fabulous time.

Dinner service and menu can be good. Service is impeccable. Late Night bar crowd brings a complete club energy. Sunday evening jazz on the patio is a hidden gem in town. Catch it if you can! read more

Excellent food and cocktails, especially my favorite blueberry martini (must be made by Lydia who makes them the best). I can never say enough about the excellent service from VVV. Truly one of my favorite places to drink and dine in Fresno. read more

The food here was just ok. I think it is because we might have ordered the wrong items. The service at the bar was great and so were the drinks. I think we ordered too much food and our table after we moved from the bar was too tiny. I think the eggplant appetizer would have been better with fresh mozzarella. The meatballs in the pasta also could have been better. I really enjoyed my spicy cucumber margarita. We did get full off of one appetizer, one salad, and one main course. The ambience in the bar area was very dark which was nice until the front door was opened and the wind gushed in. People were a tad loud since it was Cinco de Mayo. The murals inside the bar area are incredible. I would come back here but probably order different plates. A definite place to revisit for drinks. read more

Food was okay but nothing to rave about. Presentations are very nice. My salmon lacked flavor. My friend's ribeye steak was over sauced and spiced. Just keep a steak a steak. Great drinks and ambiance. Sitting outside is the best. read more

My friend had the shrimp with penne pasta and pesto sauce and the only thing he wished was different is if they would take off the tails. Otherwise it was very delicious. I had the ribeye steak and it was mouthwatering delicious. I did not want potatoes and they will charge five dollars for substitution. I just let them give me the potatoes and I gave it to someone else. My mom got the salmon rigatoni and it looked and tasted so good. My sister and friend got the spaghetti and meatballs and they could not finish it. Huge portion. We will definitely be back. read more

This is our favorite place to get the best food and service for our date night. We absolutely love the food, service and overall experience we have at Vini's ever time we have gone. It's our absolute favorite. Chef Tony makes the best pork chop I've ever had. If your looking for a place to get an amazing meal before your next downtown or tower district event I highly recommend Chef Tony and the entire vinis experience...and the bar and bar staff will not disappoint. Live music by Jeff Logan during dinner just made it perfection. read more

I came to Veni Vidi Vici on a date night. I did not make a reservation and we were seated promptly. Unlike my experience before...I had a much better experience. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us drink ideas. I ended up going with Malibu and Pineapple as it is a very light fruity drink, can't go wrong at all with that drink! I must say our waitress was very patient as my date and lagged at ordering for a good 30 to 40 min...about the 10th time of her coming by we decided we should probably look at the menu. I ended up getting a vegetable pasta dish which was so yummy! My date got the Salmon pasta. I loved how my pasta had different vegetables which took the guilt out of the carbs I overloaded on that night. The bread was kinda hard and dry...and they just provided us with butter. The restaurant was not that packed but definitely had an older crowd. It was definitely a romantic feel and great for a cozy night on the town. I rarely ordered dessert but ordered the brownie with ice cream which was so delicious!!! I'm really not a Tower District person but 2 years later I had a much better experience. I may be back but Oggi's has my heart! Never had a bad experience there and the owner is always friendly. I'm still feeling Vinni out. read more

Warning* Read for REAL Review! We had a show to catch at Roger Ruckas and decided to drop in at opening for a meal. Read until the end, for 1 star review reasons. If you read my past reviews I tell it like how it is! Pork Chop Meal was 4/5.: The meal was tasty Lasagna was 0/5: it looked good, but after 2 bite and near the center it was COLD. Some of the Lasagne was still hard and frozen, definitely made fresh and it was thrown into the oven. How do u not fully heat up a Lasagne. Lastly, the real reason for 0/5 rating. Customer Service: 0/5. We got there at opening. There was 2 other couple and an older gentleman all seated at different table so 3 table. And 2 at the bar. We got seated and ordered. The male that works there did not acknowledge us or stop by to ask us how the food is etc. He walked right passed our table twice asked everyone else and then went back to talking near the bar/kitchen. We thought it was odd. We were the only Asian couple there, and fairly younger than the others around us. We're probably the bar tenders age lmao! But anyways, he made us feel off and it def showed since he did it twice. Could possibly say he's a racist *shrugs*. Lastly, when told the waiter about our Lasagne she said "what do you want me to about it?"...shouldn't the response be "would you like a new one or send it back"? LMAO. Anyways, first and last time here. I see why the rating for this place is pretty low on yelp. I should had trusted the 3 stars and reviews of low rating. read more

Want what I expected but the food and service was great, and fun place after work with a few co-workers.

We had lovely food, excellent drinks and fantastic service. We sat on the patio which is always a nice experience.

The vibes are dummie crazy stupid immaculate. The servers are some of the best people you will ever meet. The food is insanely good if you don't like it you might need professional help. Personally recommend the spaghetti and meatballs or the chicken and mashed potatoes. I started with the field green salad and that was also 10/10 so basically everything on the menu is bomb. read more
