Beautiful lakeside setting, delicious food. I had the brie and a blackberry wine spritzer. The house is gorgeous as well.

Our server was the best very accommodating as it was a very busy night. I wish I could call her out by name but I forgot it ‍Setting was beautiful and food was great read more

This place checks all the boxes: food is delicious, customer service is outstanding and the atmosphere is beautiful. Not just a colorful sunset on Lake Erie but holiday decorations too. Every time we go we are greeted by the always enthusiastic Taylor! Kudos to the management. read more

We came for a quick drink and bite to eat, just wanted to scope it out. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed to gorgeous view and great live music! We ordered the crab cakes (I love a good crab cake) and a glass of the Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. To be frank, I work in the wine industry so I am a little more "snobby" than most. The crab cakes were great! I can only imagine the menu inside (photos attached) is just as good! Wine wise, the Cabernet Franc was lighter than I prefer but overall had a good full body and berry forward palate. The Chardonnay was a bit more fruity than I prefer but on a hot day it was refreshing. Definitely a more buttery Chardonnay so if that is your preference you will enjoy this. read more

Outstanding food and service. Restaurant is lovely- both indoors and outdoors. The views are stunning, and I highly suggest making a reservation, even for lunch. All seating is spectacular and we started with cocktails and eventually moved to wine. The menu has a nice mix of options, but we decided to go with small salads and the chicken piccata bucatini which comes with toasted garlic bread. Restaurant is clean and tidy, and food was delivered nicely with very good presentation. Tiramisu was a nice ending to a perfect Friday lunch! Overall a fantastic lunch and had the opportunity to chat with the owner. Would definitely return again. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing afternoon at your winery and restaurant. read more

**Original Flesch-Kincaid Score: 62.7** --- When I heard about this new spot, it came highly recommended. I was looking for a great local place and had high hopes, but I think they still have room to improve. I took my girlfriend for Sunday brunch and we sat in the "Lake House" section, their bar area. She ordered a mushroom flatbread and a grapefruit mimosa, while I chose the croque monsieur with iced tea. The interior was bright and welcoming, and despite being busy, they seemed to have enough staff. We were quickly greeted and given menus, and our waitress returned shortly to take our order. Our drinks arrived quickly. However, the experience went downhill from there. The room was so noisy we had to raise our voices to talk. And we had plenty of time to do that as the food took about 10 minutes longer than the drinks to arrive. My girlfriend liked her drink and flatbread, which were fresh and well-prepared. My dish, however, was disappointing; the potatoes weren't as described on the menu and the sandwich used plain store-bought bread. A waiter checked in on us, and I pointed out the potato issue. The menu listed smashed potatoes but you can see what I got in the photo. He seemed puzzled, claimed those were their standard breakfast potatoes and asked if I was sure I saw them on the menu, and didn't follow up further. After finishing our meals, we waited another 10 minutes without seeing any staff before finally asking for the bill and leaving. We really wanted to enjoy this place--it's beautifully located by the lake--but it seems they prioritize appearance over substance. If the owners can improve staff training, ingredient quality, and reduce the noise, they could truly make the most of this wonderful location. read more

Vincent William Wine - Croque Monsieur served with cajun breakfast potatoes - Wineries Near Me - Madison, Ohio

Great service and views, good food and they're proud it as reflected in the prices. 2 apps, 1 small side salad, 2 drinks, 2 glasses of wine and 2 desserts was over $130. So if we would have added 2 entrees at $30 each the bill would have been over $200. But it was a good partial meal. Their wine prices inflated the bill. For the quality the pricing should be adjusted a bit lower. I liked that the owner was on site. read more

Beautiful building in a fabulous location overlooking lake erie! The head chef Matthew here is absolutely fantastic and presented every dish like a work of art! I got the salmon here and it was next level. I will be dreaming of that salmon! read more

My group of 10 friends and I happen to come on a night when the weather was extraordinary. We came early expecting a crowd and found our table but needed some additional chairs. The young men who were servers were fabulous. They immediately came to our aid finding us chairs, giving us menus, but throughout the entire evening this group of young men were so polite, friendly and smiling, and concentrating on giving all of us a great time. the drink staff were the same. Happy and helpfu. Your staff are one of your best assets. The food was great, the drinks delicious. It was a wonderful evening. We all definitely will be back. But once again, bravo for your staff choices. They made the evening wonderful read more

The wait time was not long being that we had reservations. The food was okay. The service was a bit slow. The bad part is that I ran into a rude worker on the way out I was waiting for the bathroom and he said loudly and obnoxiously "what are you looking for! Then I said Jesus Christ because he came up behind me. He stated Jesus Christ is not here! What a bad attitude from someone that's supposed to be providing service to clients. Could be a nice place because the decor is beautiful. Mediocre at best. read more

We have only tried a few of the wineries on the lakefront, but the patio small plates we had today stood out as the tastiest. Their flat bread was delicious esp for those who like their crust like a "pan pizza"-with a little more olive oil. Meatballs were great and the whipped ricotta as well. Wine was delicious. We weren't aware that we had to order at the window at first and sat a bit, so something to note. If you sit on the patio during the day at least, you have to walk up and order. read more

Gorgeous winery you would think you're in Italy! Mansion Right on the water with a private beach you can walk down to and take sunset pictures hard to beat this place Staff was on point Multiple bathrooms Also great patio food the restaurant smelled amazing when we walked through would like to try that next time we are here highly recommend this winery Overall 10/10 experience read more

I tried with this place. Opening weekend and it's normal for place to have links to work out, but the staff is rude and that's not something you can fix with a rough opening weekend. The place is so loud for guests in the rooms. Very loud banging around 9 pm. There is a guest lounge area right outside of the guest room we're staying in, which is loud and quite an odd choice. The worst part was the pool. We got to the pool around 10 and were pretty immediately asked if we wanted anything to drink by one of the waitresses. They brought us our drinks poolside in a glass. My husband accidentally knocked over his glass and one of the other waitresses shouts over to us in a condescending sing-song tone, "that's why you don't bring glass by the pool!" As she is serving guests. She comes over to the pool, takes the drink I had that has not broken, chastises us again saying they don't allow glass at the pool. YOU LITERALLY GAVE US THE GLASS! Stop with the attitude. YOU brought this on yourselves. It is not your guests' fault. Fix your attitude. This place isn't worth that. read more

Absolutely beautiful winery and amazing food. The space here is spectacular, with lake views and very tastefully decorated. I have been here multiple times, both on my own and with friends. Each time is enjoyable. My choice for wine is their Cab Franc, which is one of the most memorable- almost Napa quality cab franc's I have tasted. The owner- who is a delight, told our group it is gown right outside the winery, and I did hear recently it has won a bronze award at a competition. I've had small plates, dinner, brunch and even flatbreads here and all were very tasty. I was shocked to see 1 star reviews as I have been here over 6 times and never had a bad experience. Probably one of the most striking locations, great food and that lovely estate cab franc- I cannot imagine a better place to spend time! The winery also has beautiful guest rooms- so if you're from out of town, you will definitely feel spoiled in this lake view beauty with a pool for endless summer nights. Don't miss this glorious treasure on the lake. read more

Beautiful resturant in a gorgeous setting. Delicious food and good service. Unfortunately our experience was ruined by a large table of young women right beside our table. They were extremely loud and obnoxious. Management should have stepped in and asked them to quiet down. At this type of resturant you expect a bit more sophisticated, mature customers. So disappointed . read more

Discover the perfect fusion of romance and fine dining at one of East Ohio's finest wineries, featuring an exquisite mansion bed & breakfast with stunning views of Lake Erie and unparalleled wine-tasting experiences. We started our meals with cocktails, Blueberry Brie, and Crab Cakes; both were delicious and well-prepared. The bread was great with the Brie. I can't say enough about the crabcakes. They were perfectly spiced. The lemon zesty spinach salad was simple and tasty. The salmon, broccolini, and couscous were cooked perfectly, and so was my Delmonico Steak. Both plates were large portions. We ended our meals with Chocolate Bread Pudding and Gelato Ice Cream. The presentation on the dessert was lacking. The gelato was yummy, but we didn't care about the bread pudding. Our service was delightful and on point. Even the little boy clearing tables was cute. The wind was out of the NE and a bit windy. It was a perfect day on the lake for relaxing or sailing. All in all, we enjoyed our meal. The winery was pleasant and inviting. Our meals were tasty; the music was lovely inside and out.

had dinner there yesterday. it was a Saturday so they were very busy but they got us in, even without a reservation. The wine was awesome. Chef Q did an amazing job on the Bucatini Piccata and special shoutout to Taylor for making the whole evening flow perfectly. an overall great dining experience read more

Very pleasant patio with great view. Food was prepared well. Good selection of wine and bourbon. Would definitely try it again.

The place was packed and they didn't accept reservations on Saturdays. This was their soft start so I understand. The food was good, I gave 4 stars because their watermelon burrata salad had a third of a normal burrata cheese ball, they just sliced the bottom of it and served it. However, the flavors went very well together. Their scallops were amazing. The restaurant was clean, they have 3 bathrooms unisex in different areas of the restaurant. Their desert was underwhelming, the chocolate croissant bread pudding. All the flavors mixed together just didn't seem to blend well. They do have tiramisu so maybe that would be better. Lastly, the food came out very quickly so I commend the chef's on their timely food preparation. read more

Outstanding food, service and wine!! So lucky to have found this gem on the shores of lake erie!!!

Vincent William is on a beautiful location in Madison, Ohio. There are vineyards in front and the lake behind. Service was good. I was told if there's more that eight persons sitting at a table a group check it given, not seperate checks, that's a deal breaker for me. Luckily there were only six at our table. The food was good but portions were appetizer size, we all left hungry. We actually left Vincent William and went to Ferrante for a hearty size meal. This is a nice restaurant to experience but not a restaurant I would frequent because of the small portions and group checks. read more

Had dinner tonight. Three people . Reservation was 530. Service was decent . Not feeling rushed at all. Had drinks, appetizers, entrees. We ordered dessert and coffee we received the check and paid around 630. A woman came to our table and asked us to finish our coffee and deserts at the bar. She said she had to bus the table . Reservations were waiting. I was furious. Never had I been asked to leave while I was finishing up. read more

We had a big group come for an impromptu work dinner to enjoy some wine and apps with the sunset. The servers were courteous and attentive, ambiance was beautiful, food and wine were delicious. The manager was also super helpful when I called back because I had lost my receipt. Will definitely be back!! read more

Food and service were amazing! We got pesto flatbread, scallops, lobster ravioli, pork chop, and wine of course! Everything was excellent. Our waitress (Trisha) was very nice and gave us some interesting history about the property as well. Highly recommend! read more

We enjoyed an awesome dinner here with extended family last week. Our Uncle Frank had been here once before and it didn't disappoint. Our server Suzanne was super. It was Good Friday so most of us had the beet salad with salmon which got rave reviews. After dinner we walked the grounds and watched the sunset. Then we retired to the bar for after dinner drinks. What a gem on Lake Erie in Madison, Ohio! read more

Vincent William Wine - Ovsenik-Vidmar family dinner at this amazing place. - Wineries Near Me - Madison, Ohio

Very underwhelming. Food was subpar, drinks were weak, service was fine. The view is beautiful but the food needs to improve immensely.

The only reason for the two stars was the gorgeous view. This food was inedible. Truly sad that the food was so awful compared to the beautiful ambiance. read more

Before I arrived at this amazing find, my expectations were not too high. It was winter and the Lake Eire lakeshore rated an anemic blah! Driving up to the rather classy hotel-restaurant winery combo things began to brighten up. Once inside, looking at the surroundings and especially the menu, things definitely brightened up. I ordered the scallop and risotto main course and my friend ordered the lamb chops. The scallops had a perfect, caramelized sear and the lamb chops reduced my table companion to occasional grunts of delight. The service was impressive, to say the least. Did we return? You bet. Many times. Later in the spring, and summer, and following autumn, and we were never disappointed. The ambiance, especially if you choose a table on the lakeside patio in the nicer, spring or summer, is idyllic. Do not miss this place. It puts Madison, Ohio on the map. read more

Amazing place. Top notch for sure. Scale of 1-10....11. The only hit could be the $$$ but you get what you pay for!!! Will be back. read more

Food and services were phenomenal... four people ate and with tip it was around 300$... totally worth it!!!

This is the best restaurant in Madison by a mile, the food is absolutely amazing, they change there menu very often, with a wide variety, their salmon is phenomenal and their scallops are easily the best thing on the menu. I also recommend the baked Brie as an appetizer, and the croissant bread pudding is to die for, the service is always amazing, and the view is the cherry on top, a beautiful way to watch the sun set. read more

Beautiful view! Good food and wine. Great place for special occasions. I really liked the Rose' read more

Hubby and I visited for lunch. The wine selection was delicious and the food had us wishing we could try it all. With fireplaces everywhere and views directly on the lake we were anxious to see the new guest rooms. Michael the owner gave us a private tour that did not disappoint. Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! We can't wait till it's available to book. There's a built in pool right above the lake!!!!! read more

This was my favorite of the six wineries we visited while near GOTL. The view is outstanding, and the wine is pricy but good. The atmosphere was really fun as people were friendly. Service was fast and friendly. read more

We had reservations and we were the only table seated in our section at 5:30. We finished our waters before our drink orders were taken. We did a tasting and waited awhile before our waitress came back. When she returned we ordered our wine and food. By then several other tables had been seated. We were a table of four. A table of eight that were seated after us and after we ordered our food received their food before us and we had the same waitress. We had two orders of scallops, one of salmon and one gnocchi. The food was delicious. When our waitress returned and our meals had been cleared we asked to see the dessert menu. She then stated she was not aware we had finished our food. I had purchased a gift card and your option is to receive a code emailed no card. Waitress said slightly irritated that to use my gift card she needed to take my phone to scan the code or come back with a pen to write it down. Once we were able to close out our transactions a person in our party had to use the restroom so the other 3 of us waited in the lobby. An employee came down the hall and rudely asked what we needed and we stated we were waiting for a member in the restroom. Sorry this was so long and my first yelp review but this was a special meal at a restaurant that we were excited to visit for the first time and the service and employees ruined our experience. read more

Beautiful. Unique. Lunch on the patio of Smash Burgers, fries and bloody Mary were excellent. 2nd time there ate indoors, excellent service, my pasta dish was okay. Wish you could make reservations for less than 6. It gets very crowded. Go when it opens to get a seat on the patio. read more
