VINGOUTE RESTAURANT

I really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back! The restaurant has a nice ambiance, perfect for a date or a group. It wasn’t busy when we visited, and the food came out fast, hot, and fresh. What we tried: - Akra (fried taro fritters): Crispy outside, chewy inside. Loved the Pikliz cabbage, but a dipping sauce would have been a nice touch. Ended up eating with ketchup. - Poulette en Sauce (chicken stew): Flavorful, and the bean rice was excellent. - Tassot Cabrit (fried goat): Pricey but amazing! Lots of meat and very few bones which is uncommon for goat dishes. I also upgraded to the black rice and it is unlike any rice I’ve tried before. It does cost extra but I thoroughly enjoyed it. A few things to note and improvements for the restaurant: - Portions are generous and food is delicious, but prices are on the higher side, so it will be more of an occasional treat for me. - Black rice upgrade was an extra $2.08 (wish that had been mentioned). - A 10% gratuity was added without any mention of it even though we were a party of two. Overall, great food and experience with a few transparency improvements needed.

We got the oxtail and the jerk chicken. Oxtail was fine but jerk chicken was unbearably salty?! I don’t think the kitchen tasted the food before it came out. I feel like if you are charging around 30 for entrees you cannot 1) give such a small meat portioning, 2) make it so salty that it is inedible. People working there seem really nice so it was incredibly disappointing and hard to write this review.

Vin Goute has made a lot of improvements in the quality of their food and service. Everything we ate was excellent and the owner came out to ensure our experience was wonderful. The food was cooked to perfection, the taste of spices were just enough to awaken my taste buds and the service was superb. Thanks for a fantastic experience! I’m so happy to see a Haitian establishment doing well in our community.

Fun time at a small and authentic local restaurant- what more could you want? We had very fast and friendly service, I deferred to the host on what to order and was very happy with my fried fish. Glad I found this place. I'll be back.

Did not expect to find a Haitian restaurant near me but man was the food AMAZING! If you are thinking about it, stop by you will not be disappointed and the customer service was very respectful. I cannot wait to come back to get more

A Delicious Gem! So excited to finally visit Vingoute—it’s been on my list for a while! The space is beautiful and clean, with great attention to detail in the décor, both in the indoor dining area and the pickup/waiting lobby. It’s also super comfortable and welcoming. The service was great—especially the guy at the register, who was very attentive and helpful. We ordered the oxtail (which comes with rice of the day—usually rice and peas—and two huge fried plantains), a side of salade russe (a potato salad with beets), and the House Marinade appetizer (we didn’t know what it was at first, but it turned out to be a delicious deep-fried fritter—crispy on the outside, soft and savory inside). Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. At first, I was surprised to see entrées around $30, but the portions are very generous—easily enough for two people to share. We had plenty of leftovers to take home and enjoyed them just as much the next day. We’re so happy to have a Haitian restaurant nearby! We’ve tried Haitian food from friends in the past and have always wanted to find a great local spot to satisfy those cravings. Vingoute did not disappoint!

This place serves some of the best Haitian food I’ve had. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. From the griot to the sides, every bite was delicious. The atmosphere and hospitality made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back! 😍😍😍😍
