    Parpadelle spinach cream pasta special
    Lily P.

    Absolutely amazing delicious food for a very fair price! Great wine parings available also for a fair price. There is plenty of parking nearby. You should be prepared to show up early (at latest 4:45pm) or wait for a while for a seat. If you get lucky, you may be able to snag a bar seat since those are first-come first-serve. We learned that the menu changes each season to reflect the different ingredients that are fresher or more available that season. I think this is a great idea! The decor is clearly also changed season-to-season, and it was very cute and fall-themed during my visit. We ordered the parpadelle spinach cream pasta special, butternut squash arancini, steak, pizza special, and butterscotch pudding for dessert. The butterscotch pudding is a must-try!! It's easily one of the best desserts I've ever tasted anywhere. For entrees, I highly recommend the steak (which is cooked in a rich and flavorful Moroccan-style sauce) or the parpadelle (which was a special on the night we visited). I will definitely be returning in the future!

    Vin is the best. I will always get the skirt steak, the mozzarella, and the chef moore pizza. Make sure to save some room for carmelitos and butterscotch pudding to end the night. The service is impeccable. The vibe is great. Best restaurant in town.

    Vin 909 is a very popular destination on Fridays. The food is good and there is a broad drink menu for those who imbibe. There is also sure to be a line whenever you arrive, which can make dinner here a bit of a chore. PRO TIP: arrive for the first dinner seating early (doors open at 5pm) by arriving about 15-20 minutes before the restaurant opens.

    Brought a group of 5 into this little cottage tucked away in the suburbs of Annapolis and I'm so glad I did! We got to experience their farm-to-table Modern American menu and amazing hospitality. With a marvelous wine list and shared plates, there is something for everyone at Vin 909!! Be sure to arrive early! We arrived at 4:30 and there was already a line formed for their 5pm seating (we were already 4th in line)! They offer a rotating menu, the skirt steak, squid ink pasta, and margherita pizza were truly exquisite! The corn is was good as well but a bit too heavy on the lime for us. The wine was great, the service was awesome, and the ambiance was laid-back and inviting. We sat in the patio out back and it felt so homey. The noise level was a little high but that's to be expected when you're dining at an Annapolis favorite! Be prepared to park on the street and come with empty bellies! You do not want to miss out on Vin 909!

    Have not been here in years and wanted to take advantage of being close to come back to one of my favorite spots. Wednesday night with 30 min wait, I'll take it. The food remained real good with a farm to table theme. We ordered the Alex Ovechkin and Farmer Scotty's pizza. Both real good, the pizz crust was better and more crisp on the edges and got a little soft towards the middle. The flavor profiles and fresh ingredients on both made for real good pizzas. The service lacked and could not really understand their system. It took 10 minutes after we were seated to get our drink order and water to the table. Then about another 10+'minutes to take our food order. One person took the drink order, another server delivered the drinks and 2 more took the food and delivered it. I'm don't really care about the system other than it took a long time. We received our food 50+ minutes after being seated. The food was excellent the speed of service just detracted from the overall experience. Very cute location with excellent food that is good for a family or date night just be ready to be there for a while.

    Let me just say this was THE SPOT, at 5pm sharp there was a line and people excited to sit down for wine and dine. I've never seen so many people at the door waiting for them to open. The staff was kind and efficient in getting everyone seated and served. Food was delicious, especially the pizza and desserts and the rose wine by the bottle was five stars. Parking onsite and out front on the street as well, but plan accordingly because it is popular and in demand. Indoor and outdoor seating and a fun bar wrap around as well. Great spot and experience.

    Greens apple salad

    Oct 2024 It's been a while since we've been in to eat at Vine 909, so we decided to stop in for dinner. We ordered the spinach salad but switched the dressing to balsamic, and we also got the corn soup special to go with it. Then we went with our favorite -- the Porky Pig pizza. The corn soup was excellent, though it needed a little more seasoning. Once I added some salt, it really brought out the flavor. The Porky Pig pizza tasted good, but I was a bit disappointed. I understand prices have gone up because everything is more expensive these days, but if the prices are higher, the toppings shouldn't be reduced. There were hardly any meatballs on the pizza this time -- and if you look at my older photos of the same pizza, you can see a big difference. For dessert, we got the butterscotch pudding with the homemade candy bar, and we even ordered an extra candy bar. Both were excellent, as always. We love sitting at the counter so we can watch the kitchen cook everything and ask questions here and there. We've actually ordered different dishes in the past just from seeing them prepared right in front of us. Despite the disappointment with the pizza toppings, we will definitely return. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

    Really lovely wine bar with a tasty and creative food menu! We sat on the front porch and looked out on their lovely garden. It is a popular place with no reservations so arrive a little before they open to get a table. We got there slightly before 5 and snagged one of the last tables. They have an extensive wine list with lots of great options and the food is really good! The pizzas are fun and creative but a special shout out for the corn off the cob and the burrata which were fantastic! The apple crumble for dessert was truly divine! Service was so incredibly kind and friendly too!

    I've been to Vin909 many times and my experience is never the same and I'm unsure why I haven't written a review yet. I always come back for the butterscotch pudding. Even if the bartender just puts it on the counter with the lonely carmelita points on top and no spoon, napkin, or bag for a to go order, after leaving a 85% cash tip. When I learn or feel like making both items at home, I won't return.

    Sweet beet salad with yellow beets, greens, pecans, and blue cheese.  Delish!

    Vin 909 continues to shine brightly, amid much restaurant competition in Annapolis. We went there last night (a Friday, and the 4th of July). We had not been for a while. We had planned to arrive around 7:00, after the first seating. We were seated immediately at a nice table outside on the patio (our preference, whenever possible). I ordered a glass of pinot grigio and my husband wanted a beer, so he chose the Forward Brewing Kolsh. The beer was a home run, and from another neighborhood business we love. We had decided ahead of time to share several items. I ordered the Spring Local salad: mixed greens, radishes, roasted beets, goat cheese, & a hibiscus vinaigrette. It was a huge portion and we both loved it. My husband enjoys their Margherita pizza with pepperoni added. The crispy crust is perfect. We also ordered a side dish of the grilled asparagus to share. We asked for the whole grain mustard vinaigrette on the side (my husband was not sure at first about that combo), but he proclaimed it was the best asparagus he had ever eaten, and the sauce was light and tasty. The service was impeccable. They use a team model, so we interfaced with four different staff people, but our glasses were never empty. They are very professional and not intrusive, but they've got you covered. It was a delightful dinner. The prices are extremely reasonable for excellent food.

    the calamari was so underwhelming.. the price tag+ portion and overall flavor was just confusing. Pizza was good though.

    I see it says not kid friendly, does that mean that kids are not allowed to be here?

    I wouldn't say they aren't welcome...it is very crowded (small space) and there are always people waiting to be seated. I wouldn't bring toddlers or infants as there isn't any place to put them. Only one large booth the rest of seating are chairs.…

    We ended up ubering here from our hotel but there's street parking here in downtown Annapolis. We…read moredidn't have to wait and we didn't make a reservation. They were pretty busy and the bar was packed to watch the Kentucky Derby. It was very cute inside and not too loud where you can't have a conversation. It did take a little bit before someone came and greeted us but our server was friendly and another individual (maybe a manager) was consistently helpful throughout the evening. We ordered a bottle of red wine to share and we were asked if we wanted a decanter to which we replied yes. He poured it in at our table with an aerator. For food, I ordered the City Dock Pizza and my friend ordered the Beef Bolognese. The City Dock Pizza was good - thinner crust but plenty of flavor. The Beef Bolognese was a lighter colored sauce than I anticipated. The pasta was good and the sauce was also good but not what I would consider a traditional Bolognese. We did order the Cheesecake and a couple glasses of prosecco and they were sweet enough to put in a candle for my friend's birthday. The cheesecake is DEFINITELY recommended, it was very good and came as a suggestion. It did not disappoint. Overall, had a great time and would definitely come back and everyone was really friendly.

He likes to travel by boat everywhere so this was fun pulling up to the marina area and just do the short walk over into the downtown area. Parking is always crazy for cars but I can attest parking boats in good weather is also a challenge. RRWB is small, they have outdoor seating, and it's one of those places that gets packed by default. Service was good. There was manager presence which was great but he didn't say hello to all patrons. He was quick to give a Navy serviceman attention, but missed out on saying hello to a young multi-millionaire patron. Not that it mattered to my friend but you just missed a notable person in plain ole casual wear. That to me was a miss. My sweet friend loves food too so of course he said I could order anything my heart desires (they all do and should), I love having foodie friends. Let's get into it! Pizza - Great! We ordered a pizza as an appetizer because I'm greedy and it did not disappoint! Crab Dip - I couldn't taste crab, he loved it! Crab stuffed shrimp - It was a special! I ate it all, I'm not a shy date! Thai Style Red Curry Salmon - HE RAVED about this! Drinks were great! He loved his old fashion and I loved my margarita! I'd come back if there was nothing else available but probably not just to come!

    Meatball MediterraneanThree juicy, tender meatballs that were well executed. The olive-oil-soaked…read morecrostini was the perfect complement--crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, and ideal for soaking up every bit of sauce. The feta chunks neither added nor detracted from the dish. A dollop of mascarpone or ricotta would have given it an even richer, meltier finish. Heck even a whipped feta would've added more depth. The blend of meats was outstanding with a pleasant kick of spice, while the mellow, flavorful marinara had a thinner consistency that made it perfect for crostini dipping. Lobster RavioliThe sauce was unquestionably the star of the show. The pasta tasted homemade with a wonderful texture. Unfortunately, the lobster seemed either overcooked or not at its freshest, as it had a noticeable fishy flavor and a chewy texture. The fresh lump crab, however, made for an excellent garnish and added a bright, sweet contrast. Smoked Pineapple Rum Old FashionedThe pineapple-infused rum came through nicely, giving the cocktail great flavor. The smoke, however, was much more subtle than I expected. I knew it had been smoked because the bartender presented it with a plastic smoking device over the glass. I was anticipating the more dramatic wood-smoke presentation under a glass dome that I'm accustomed to. It was also missing the classic Luxardo or maraschino cherry garnish, and without any garnish at all, it felt like it was missing that final finishing touch. OverallWhile it didn't quite reach Feed My Soul status, everything was genuinely good. An added bonus is that it's within walking distance of Maryland Hall, making it a perfect stop before or after a show. ServiceFriendly staff and impressively fast service. The food arrived much quicker than expected.

We've never needed a reservation, was seated quick, and had great service. Truly no complaints on that front. The issue is that the food has been a bit hit or miss. I typically get the squid ink pasta and love all the seafood add-ons. But more recently it's been bland and needing flavor. My husband had the Fettuccine Mediterranean a similar issue with missing flavor. The calamari has been a consistent hit but it's just an appetizer. The place has great ambiance, nice for a date night or girls night out, and is very family friendly. But sadly the food wasn't as we last remembered.
