    I reserved an outdoor space to accommodate 10-12 people for a birthday gathering. On the day of I came by the restaurant early in the afternoon to check on the area that they planning to have us. They asked for my preference and we agrees on a corner spot. I asked that they pull the outdoor seatings together so that when my guests arrived they could able to lounge together. I informed the restaurant that we will be having a light eating and drinks but not a sit-down dinner. When I arrived at around 6:45pm the restaurant was so quiet, there was no background music. I can see that they did not put efforts to accommodate us. The seatings were at exact same spot, not one chair have moved. I was very disappointed. My husband and I are a big fan of Vinoy. We hosted our company holidays party here many times as well as other company’s related events (not at Paul’s landing). My husband and I would come for afternoon cocktail on Sundays. We love it and been telling everyone about how beautiful and wonderful the service was at the Vinoy. I can’t say the same after last night.

    Great location in the Vinoy with nice views of boats and marina. Food was ok but shrimp (3) and grits was closer to soup. Valet parking was expensive , $12 for 1st hour and then another $12 for the 2nd hour, so still $12 even with restaurant discount since you’re not likely to get out in less than an hour. Very noisy inside if there are more than 2 large parties of 6 so best to dine outside weather permitting.

    The seafood tower for two was terrible. The crab and lobster seem old. The lobster stuck to the shell when it should have easily separated.

    Signage leading to restaurant was very confusing. Had to ask employee and her directions were wrong. After getting on elevator 3 times we found it ourselves. Very disappointed in menu. Very limited. Wound up getting a sandwich for supper. Doubt we'll go back. Very disappointed.
