There just is no place in this country like this place! I'm not in a place to even describe it you just need to come experience it for yourself! I'm just blessed to be located in the same town. Please Chef I need to know what you do to the garlic in the dip! I crave it!! read more

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO! FOOD: 5 Stars SERVICE: 5 Stars AMBIANCE: 4 Stars The reason for my lower rating is based on the fact the chef/owner knew our party was coming in for the prime rib special, which we'd heard so much about. Our entire party walked in a minute or two past 5 p.m. for our 5 p.m. reservation. The kind waitress had to tell us the unfortunate news that the prime rib was all gone, as a handful of patrons had already been seated, prior to their opening hour of 5 p.m. While pre-orders are not allowed, why wouldn't there have been enough prime rib to accommodate a larger crowd, especially since he knew we were coming in for the special? Also be aware that the prime rib is not cooked to order. I assume it's cooked at a medium temp, but since they didn't have any, that remains a mystery. We really felt it was a bait and switch situation. Not only that, their online menu showed three GF options. Unfortunately, my wife thought she'd have a few choices and was forced to the one GF sausage flight of three sausages without any sides at all. She's not a sausage fan, but she was a good sport about the issue. By the way, they did have a fish entree, but it was breaded. We were surprised, as breaded fish is usually found more often in coffee shop types of eateries. I had the gnocchi and added sausage which was fabulous. So, as long as you know this can happen, expect to be disappointed and hope for the best. Oh! And one more thing...they have beef Wellington on the menu, which I'm sure was very good, but at $59...I don't think so! read more

We have always enjoyed the atmosphere, loved the incredible food, valued the quality ingredients and how you cook with intention of not only flavor but health. Now most recently I have been inspired by Chef Roberto's monthly cooking classes. Thank you so much for providing our little town so much richness in cuisine. read more

Lobster is my favorite seafood. The lobster dish from the restaurant impress me with this beautiful lobster. I love how amazing it is to prepare. Lobster, salmon are my family meals when eating out. Once you taste the thick, tender, juicy lobster tail, salmon, they will melt in your mouth. These amazing seafood dishes are mouthwatering! You can come and enjoying this AMAZING dinner together with the family or anyone you love, enjoy a delicious meal. read more

So I went on Friday since I'd heard rave reviews about their special. Made a nice night out of it with the family. Well I can't vouch for the drinks since we didn't have any wine or liquor the food was very good. I do wish the bread was warm but that is a personal preference, 6 items total and 3 orange juice came out to 190.00. So it is a bit pricey. Highly recommend and you may want to book a table in advance as those without reservations had to wait at least an hour and they do fill up pretty quickly. The place is nice and cozy in an unassuming small parking lot but the intioror more than makes up for it. read more

Vin Alegro - Lobster Special. Sausage Flight, Artichoke Dip, Cheese Pasta - New American Near Me - Discovery Bay, California

There are few meals that stick with you for a long time. One of the few dishes that I can count as a top 5 dining experience was the flavor explosion that I experienced when I enjoyed the stuffed lobster at Vin Alegro. While I could have easily ate the whole thing by myself because it was that good, you can easily share it with a partner. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. I wish it was available on more days than just Friday. If you want to treat yourself, look no further than the stuffed lobster here! Vin Alegro is a wonderful hidden treasure found in a strip mall. It's causal yet can also be a classy date night meal. The service was awesome and there was a great selection of wine and cocktails. I need to come back soon! read more

Vin Alegro - Stuffed Lobster of the Gods. - New American Near Me - Discovery Bay, California

I came to this restaurant looking for Spanish paella, in order to celebrate national Spanish paella day. The ambience in their outdoor seating was beautiful, with string lights, a wall of succulent plants. The music was great, I wanted everything off of their appetizer menu, but we did enjoy two, the stuffed grape leaves and the spinach dip. Next time I will go for "the bees knees ". The Spanish paella was delicious and big enough to split for two. My husband ordered some beef beef Wellington, and he enjoyed it. We were too stuffed to have dessert but I'm sure it would've been spectacular. read more

Horrible customer service. Don't you dare ask questions about the menu even though he is charging you way more than the food is worth. Chef has an attitude and I would rather give my money to the local McDonalds than supporting this jerk. read more

First time at Vin Alegro and it won't be our last! It was a perfect little date night spot. We sat outdoors which had ample heaters around to keep us warm. For an appetizer we got the artichoke dip, it was so good! As for dinner, we shared the much talked about stuffed lobsta and the Wellington. Boy were they delicious and rich in flavor! Loved our experience at Vin Alegro. read more

This restaurant is absolutely AMAZING! The lobster dinner was TO DIE FOR! Service was fantastic! Dessert was delicious! Clean restaurant, bathrooms, etc! Everything was perfect. Will definitely be coming back. Ironically, just left the restaurant and came to leave a review and see the two star below me left 2 minutes ago (I saw that family walk in while I was there) and I want to correct her. The lobster is not reserved for locals, my dad is a local and it's first come first serve (we showed up 30 min early to ensure we got this delicious lobster meal) this is a small business with the owner as the chef doing all the cooking and if you want the lobster ya got to get there early or order one of the other amazing dishes on the menu! read more

I'm a big supporter of local small businesses and have been a routine patron of this establishment over the years (weekly take-out during COVID to show solidarity) however, I will no longer support this restaurant following a bizarre chain of events. On December 1, 2024, the cook/owner (Roberto Rose) did a live cooking event that I signed-up for and attended with a friend. There were about 40 people at this event, most were on their phone writing the recipes down. The following day I received a call from a detective stating the cook/owner had been receiving "threatening texts/calls" and asked if I knew anything about it. Completely baffled (even thinking this could be a prank call), I told the detective I had no idea what he was talking about and was admittedly very uncomfortable with this accusation. After speaking with the detective, I was made aware that cook/owner had his staff scoping the place out during the event to determine who could be sending the texts and the cook/owner spoke to other patrons accusing my friend and me of sending the texts he had been receiving (still no clue who sent the messages or the nature therein). We spent close to $150 that day only to face a baseless accusation of a very defamatory act. I'd empathize with the cook/owner for being a victim but his handling of this entire situation was erratic and irresponsible. No patron should be subject to such reckless treatment especially in a small town that leads to damaging gossip. read more

Food and service ok but way over priced. Haven't been in a while and tried to look up the menu with prices, apparently this business doesn't publish that which is quite sus in my opinion. I wouldn't support a business that plays these types of business gimmicks and that doesn't publish up to date pricing. read more

Hit up Vin Alegro for dinner after not going for a year (a year ago it was pretty good). Wow, has it turned bad. No one was in there on a Saturday night. We ordered charcuterie, it was forsure lunch meat. A few pieces of meat laid on the plate like lunch meat In plastic and a block of cheese. Was going to order dinner but didn't make it past the apps and drinks. Do not recommend, especially for the price. Charcuterie 30$ for two meats and a cheese block. No jelly's jams or nothing. Everything was served with non fresh bread. It seems like the owner or someone deletes bad reviews. Just a heads up to my fellow Yelpers. read more

My husband and I have a dinner at the restaurant in the middle of nowhere. However, food and the service was great. He ordered a huge and I ordered a salmon place. The dishes looked great and the taste was much more better. Can not ask more from this restaurant, food and service. The chef came out and ask us for our experience, he truly care about this business. Everyone, please come and support this amazing business. read more

Definitely doesn't look like much when you walk in but their fare and wine selections speaks for itself. Service is pretty spot on as well. Braved the times and dined here a few days ago and I really like their covered out door dining facility. I remember it being pretty windy so that didn't matter which was awesome. Food was great, the 'bees knees' was delicious along with the burata caprese were delicious! So much so we ordered two of each. 'The Best Ever Spinach Artichoke dip not so much-- we didn't finish that so i'd skip it. Anyway, meals were delicious and definitely worth a try. The only thing I must warn everyone is that-- staff are NOT wearing gloves and masks. I felt very leary and it gave me the atmosphere of 'pre-covid' dining so if that's what you're looking for then go on right ahead, otherwise i had to say multiple prayers because I was really uncomfortable about the new normal of staff wearing gloves and masks which Vin Allegro's staff did not or are not doing as of 6/28. read more

False advertising! Food came straight out of a box! At least get a better vendor for your premade garbage food. The guy offers limoncello that he made yesterday You can't make limoncello overnight brother! God bless you! May you find your true calling cuz it ain't in the kitchen! Service was fantastic though. Maybe some more business so the chef will have the resources to do his thing. Ambiance was good great decor but food two thumbs down read more

Everything is delicious and Chef Robert and his staff are so warm and welcoming. A place you want to go back to again and again

Breakfast and dinner are both fantastic. You can't go wrong! Locally sourced ingredients meet familiar favorites with a fresh and unique spin. You like bacon and eggs? You'll love Cloudy with a Chance of Bacon! You like lobster? You'll love Stuffed Lobster with Prawns and Scallops! The menu changes periodically and the chef is open to suggestions for your special events (birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries etc). We go at least once a week and have never been disappointed. read more

Don't use for catering, especially for a wedding. He'll pretend he put you in the books to only surprise you a month later that you weren't. Wasted our time and is a very sensitive person to work with. What a shame. read more

BEE'S KNEES ALL DAY! I love this little gem in my town. Great service, great food, great wine. Keep it up.

We had a family reunion at our home in Discovery Bay catered by Vin Alegro. The dinner for 28 was a wonderful success. The food by Chef Roberto and the coordination by Glen was fabulous. The meatballs were outstanding and the pork roast was tasty and tender. We deeply appreciated their attention to detail especially since it was Father's Day. We can't thank them enough for helping to make our dinner and evening a beautiful memory for all. I would highly recommend Vin Alegro for all your catering needs and for an evening out in Discovery Bay. Pete Sustarich and Jo Ann Schreiber Sustarich read more

Amazing under the radar local eatery. The food was super yummy and they have outdoor seating with lots of space between tables. And, best of all, the owner understands not everyone tolerates gluten. As a result, he offers gluten free options that are super yum ! read more

Mushroom Ravioli - They appeared to be fresh made raviolis however buried in cheese in a casserole dish was far from great. Why bother making them and then covering them in cheese sauce. Same for the "beggars purses" they were beautifully made but again buried in a not so great tomato sauce in a casserole dish Both could have been presented on a warm plate with sauce below and cheese above Sorry but Bees Knees did not do it for us. bread goat cheese and honey!! 1st timers - You came recommended You never get second chance to make a 1st impression read more

I've been here twice now and enjoy the food, drinks, and ambience. Staff are always kind and accommodating.

We had been looking forward to going here for a long time as we've always read great reviews. Finally went this last Saturday night for our anniversary. All I can say is I hope we just picked a bad night because the dinner was awful. I ordered the gnocchi with cream sauce and chicken. It came out in a baked dish with three pieces of bread that probably were supposed to be for dipping in the cream sauce. The dish was so over cooked that I had to break through the crust on top to eat the dish. No cream left. Chicken dry and stringy. Gnocchi flavor was good but cooked way too long. My husband ordered pork schnitzel. Looked nice and crispy. When he cut a piece off to share with me, the dried out piece of pork inside just fell out of the breading. He said every piece was that way. Basically he ate dried pork pieces and then the crunchy outer by itself. The brussel sprouts were delicious and the waitress/hostess was great. Beautiful little restaurant. At the time our food was delivered we were the only two in the restaurant so they were not too busy to get it right. I did hear the waitress tell two women who came in later that the chef was in Austin at a food competition so I'm guessing we had a backup cook. So so disappointing. If you go, call ahead and make sure the head chef will be there. I hear he's great but unfortunately we did not get him. read more
