Enjoyed a visit to Vinny's over Memorial Day weekend. We all enjoyed a delicious dinner and desserts. Only wish that Fred had been our server - our visit started out with Fred, but he was given the stink eye by a female server who never introduced herself and she took over. She was distracted and very nearly forgot to give... More

My wife and I live on San Juan Island six months of the year. Every year for our anniversary I ask her where she wants to eat dinner to celebrate the occasion. Now there are some fine restaurants on the island. She always picks Vinny's.

We ate here in May 2012 on a trip celebrating my wife's birthday, and had a delightful experience. The Penne Arigosta featured tender and flavorful lobster- a lovely surprise to have it cooked so carefully. The house-made lamb sausage in the Bucatini Agnelo was nicely made, and could hold its head up next to the sausage we recently had in... More

The waiter was friendly and had a great sense of humor, chatting with everyone and making it feel more like a family than a... More

This is a MUST when you are in Friday Harbor. Great food, environment and service. Thanks for always going the extra mile. Have been there on business trips and with family and never disappointed.

This place is top-notch. Come as you are and eat like a king/queen. The food is amazing and the owner waited on us. This place would do well in Seattle so finding it on a small island is like finding gold. And, the prices were decent compared to the quality you get. You can taste that they get everything locally.... More
