Vinhus Restaurant & Lounge

I want to first start off by saying that the staff was completely rude.  I went in to use a Groupon and was treated like I was using food stamps. Many times I was told that I had to mention my Groupon when I made the reservation (Which I did).  They constantly had to remind me and not in a nice way.  The food was not even anything to write home about either.  I had the Bife à Portuguesa Shell, which was probably the most mediocre version I have ever had.   I will not be back and I will tell as many people as I can not to come here.  Horrible rude service and bland average food a recipe for disaster.

Came here last Friday for a dinner date with my girlfriend.  You can tell right when you walk in you're in for an upscale dinner.  The spot was a little more than half full and we were seated immediately.  The waiter didn't bother us too much, and we we never left wondering where he went.  For the app we went w the Calamari.  It was super tender, not rubbery like some places.  For the dinner I had the grilled shell steak in garlic sauce. It was topped with ham and a fried egg (I must admit I went outside of my comfort zone on this order).  It was amazing though and I'm so glad I tried something new.  The steak was cook exactly how I ordered and the dish was presented very well.  I seriously cannot wait to go back and order this same dish.

My family lives in Roselle Park. Small town, not too many places to eat besides A local sun tavern and a couple pizzerias. I ate here for a family celebration dinner in the beginning of May.  It was a Thursday night around 9:30pm and there were only 2 other tables there. Our food took a while, but understandable, we ordered the skirt steak special. For appetizer we ordered calamari and shrimp. The calamari itself was good but the marinara seemed watered down and tasteless. The garlic shrimp was good. We ordered Sangria but it just seemed like there was just juice. As a Portuguese restaurant, I was expecting the Sangria to be better than that.

Came our food, we mostly ordered the skirt steak special and my mother ordered a shrimp and rice entree. "Potatoes" were just chips. Entree comes with string beans, but when we approached the waiter, he said it doesn't. But clearly, it stated string beans. Steak was okay. Very small portion. My mother looked at her shrimp entree and was confused. The shrimp from the entree was the same shrimp as the appetizer.. she asked why she even got the entree when she could have just settled with the shrimp appetizer.

Anyway, service was not great either. they were just rude and impatient. You could tell they didn't have great customer service. A different waitress came to ask for drinks, and my cousin was in the bathroom. After she came back, she happened to ask our real waiter if she can have a sprite. And his response was... "... Didn't she just ask if anyone wanted anything?" WHAAAAT? Yes, the waitress did her job and asked everyone for drinks, but someone happened to not be present at the time, therefore, why would you even say something like that? He claims to have 15 years of experience, but if he did, he would have WAY better customer service..

not a place I'd go back to.
