Vinya Wine & Market — Restaurant in Key Biscayne

I visited Vinya yesterday around 3:50 PM to find seating for my coworkers who were set to arrive shortly. Since most of us are locals, we decided this spot would be great for our happy hour. While we didn’t have a reservation, I was hoping to secure a table. Upon arrival, the staff immediately informed me that all tables were reserved. When I asked for the reservation times, I was told that some were booked for 6 PM and others for 7 PM. Given that it wasn’t even 4 PM at the time, I was surprised that they were hesitant to seat me and focused instead on how I would eventually need to give up the table to accommodate future reservations.

I understand we had a larger group, but I found the initial interaction lacking in hospitality. That said, they did eventually accommodate us, and once my coworkers arrived, we enjoyed a great time with their happy hour drinks and food.

Later in the evening, as some of us moved to the bar area to wrap up, we were told that because the bar was full—and some of us were standing while others were seated—we would have to place all our orders under a single tab. We had done this before when seated at the table in our large group. This was highly inconvenient, as we had hoped to pay individually.

Unexpected Gem with Outstanding Service and Food

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and it turned out to be an incredible find! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere, as well as the impeccable cleanliness.

Our server, Jofrey, made our experience even better. His service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He offered great suggestions, and every single one was spot on! The short rib was incredibly tender and flavorful, the lamb baklava was a unique and delicious surprise, and the manchego croquettes were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. For dessert, the cheesecake was the perfect way to end the meal—creamy, rich, and absolutely delightful.

One of the highlights of this place is their wine shop, which offers a fantastic selection. You can pick a bottle at a very reasonable price and enjoy it at your table with a $20 corkage fee—a great option for wine lovers!

Overall, this restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of excellent service, outstanding food, and a cozy ambiance makes it a place worth visiting. We will...

Im giving one stat because if there is something i hate the most is bad practice of business. And this business practice one of the worst , which is charge you for some goods promise deliver a week later after the purchase. Dont sent any receipts or anything . Then when i contacted you , Sent a casual email stating that what i bought is on “ short order” and it would not be available until NOV!!! For real that you will give me a refund!! Which i had to asked because until that point you guys have not gave my refund even when you said you did. Please don’t do this . Let your costumers know in advance that you don’t have an specific goods and allowed then decided if they want to pay and wait 5 months!! I wonder if i haven wrote you a email what would had happened!? Honestly this is wrong. I will avoid to do business with you in the future im pretty sure that i will be seeing you again in the next MIAMI...
