We had dinner at Vigneto the other night.\u00a0 It’s in the former Spoons space next to Mitchell Books in Covington Plaza.\u00a0 It was a bit disappointing.\u00a0\u00a0 Vigneto is run by Lisa Williams and Chuck Kaiser, formerly of Joseph Decuis, so we had high expectations on our visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The space is nicely decorated, but if you sit next to the windows wear a jacket, the blowers move\u00a0a lot a air.<\/p>\n
The waiter didn’t seem familar with the menu at all, but in all fairness, the menu was a bit confusing.\u00a0 For example, at the end of the meal the dessert wine list mentioned under the “Wines by the glass” section an ice wine.\u00a0 I thought that would be nice, so I ordered one.\u00a0 A bit later the waiter came back and said that was a half-bottle, not a glass.\u00a0 Well, then, why is it listed in the by the glass section?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The food was hit and miss.\u00a0 Debbie ordered lemon and black pepper risotto for one of her plates and it was cooked until the rice formed a paste and even worse was missing its black pepper.\u00a0 I had some pate that was ok, and we had a salad with pomegranate that was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, and the polenta parmesan fries were sublime.\u00a0\u00a0 So pretty uneven, I expected better.\u00a0 It was a Tuesday night, and the place was packed, so I’d give them the benefit of the doubt and try dinner there again some day.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a place to have a glass of wine and a snack, it’d be great.\u00a0 They mention the enoteca influence, that may be a hard sell in Fort Wayne, but that seems like what they are, more than a place for dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
