Editorial Review for Vinny's on Windward – by Suzanne Wright
The Scene
Soaring ceilings, exposed brickwork, marble accents and tasteful art lend this popular Italian eatery an attractive, though slightly corporate, feel. Noise levels are high even when not crowded, but Vinny's aims to please with earnest service and many specials, including a sunset happy hour.
The Food
The Italian-inspired menu features dishes made with high-quality ingredients. Filet mignon is flavorful and juicy; crab cake is all lump meat with a spicy kick of chili peppers. Seared tuna is paired with a melange of tomatoes and capers, while flavorful beef carpaccio is topped with mustard sauce. Desserts are excellent, especially the lemon-ricotta cheesecake with strawberries in balsamic vinegar.

The crab cake appetizer is by far the best crab cake I've ever had anywhere. So, so good. And the apple slaw is an unusual and delicious accompaniment. The salmon entree was average tasting, but the bloodline was not cut out. The risotto served with the salmon had an unusual taste--not necessarily a bad taste, but not good either. I'm not sure what it was. I'll try the restaurant again--any place that can make a pile of crab meat taste so divine warrants another try.
