Our first experience of Vinnies was at a fundraising evening for the Honey Bees back in June. This was an incredibly educational evening, with speakers that included the President of the Bee Association and the Beekeeper for the hive at the Town Hall. The food was inspired by honey and was exquisite. Our second experience was for a night out with five friends. This was another superb night at Vinnies. The oysters are AMAZING, service impeccable and beautiful wine to wash it all down. I would highly recommend a night out at Vinnies.

Another fantastic experience at Vinnies Restaurant. Rowen makes you feel incredibly welcome and knows the menu and every important detail you need to know about it, to ensure you experience every taste the chef meant for you to taste. My hapuka was perfectly cooked and much better than i could have cooked myself :-) My husbands eye fillet was cooked exactly as he ordered it. The cheese selection was a taste sensation and the burnt tea creme brulee had a unique, but delicious taste. I can highly recommend Vinnies and look forward to the next time we visit. I will definitely have the degustation next time, which looked AMAZING!10 out of 10 guys! Thanks once again.

We tried Vinnies degustation menu last night - the slow cooked duck was to die for!

I always hear from friends that Vinnies is great. I would agree, wasn't sure at first of the wine suggested but I came around.

Vinnies is consistently terrific. There is nothing lazy about this place and you feel they make an effort within each food group. Perhaps unusually for a fine dining restaurant you genuinely look forward to coming back. The wine is excellent. Thank god their not shy in showing off Aussie & SA wine. Sorry guys but their wine is better. The waiting staff are enthusiastic and understand their food very well. I've given up on asking advice on wine in other places. In Vinnies you're silly not to.

We had an excellent night at Vinnies. The service was excellent and there was a friendly atmosphere there. My meal was exceptional. Every mouthful was a taste sensation. The portion sizes were also generous, but not over the top. My plate was hot, which made such a difference. I would love to go back.

Had the opportunity to dine at Vinnies Restaurant in Herne Bay last weekend and have to say, the experience was simply outstanding.
One of the best fine-dining restaurants in Auckland, the food will simply take your breath away.
To start I had the whitebait and as a main I went for the Hawkes Bay Lamb (although my dining companions wild rabbit dish both was equally as appealing). Simply put...fantastic!
