Vincent's is seriously subpar when it comes to seafood 8/13/2010

I went there on a friday with my wife, and was not impressed at all. Me and my wife split their $35 Fra Divolo dish that contained a lobster tail, calamari, shrimp, scampi with angel hair in mild spicy tomato sauce. The waitress was great but the food, well where do I begin. As someone who loves calamari and shrimp and has eaten it in hundreds of restaurants, it was quite evident that the cook cooked all our seafood on the same pot as the calamari and shrimp were seriously overcooked. And that is a crime considering that calamari and shrimp are the easiest thing to cook in the world In fact if you can't cook the shrimp right at a seafood place you should be fired and the owner should know that. Then there was the question of the bill. Our bill was $100 but we had a $25 gift certificate. Their policy states that they accept credit/debit cards. However when you a gift cert., they want you to pay cash. Upon showing my debit card, the owner refused me to charge my debit and told me to go to an ATM. SO I had to leave in a semi-drunk state to the ATM just so I could please the freaking owner while my wife waited inside. THis does no sound to me like a business oriented owner. It sounds like an owner who would do anything to get an extra 2% on anybody. I would not recommend the place simply based on the fact that my calamari which was 70% of the dish was overcooked. Also me and wife are in our early 30's and the place seemed filled with a majority of senior citizens, with very few sporadic younger people at 9pm. Even though I don't mind senior citizens, it just doesn' give a good vibe especially on a Friday night. I prefer a mix. It goes to show you that the place just lives off their old customers and not new ones. more
