This place is so good! I love the Ruben with kimchi, best I've ever had. We went on Christmas Day and it was perfect. Thanks so much for making our Christmas brunch a lovely moment in time.

Vin48 is consistently excellent. Their food is delicious, service is super warm and their ambiance is perfect. I’ve been a loyal costumer for over 10 years and still consider them to be 120/100. Definitely my favorite in the Valley.

I ate the sea bass and it was fantastic. The gingerbread soufflé was excellent. Staff was very friendly and talkative. For appetizers, try the ravioli. It was excellent and everyone at my table loved it.

This was our second Christmas Eve Dinner and it was as good as the first time! Great ambiance for the holiday - we dressed up in holiday flare! Love the decorations and the staff in the holiday spirit with Christmas sweaters. Had the gnocchi salad as an app - delish could use a couple Of more gnocchi. We had the scallops and the braised short rib - well seasoned and lots of flavor. Tried the homemade pistachio tiramisu- also delish! Hope to see you 12/24/25!
