She inquired if we had dined there before, to which we responded that many of us had. When we asked for her name, she told us, “It’s Christy, C-h-r-i-s-t-y,” with an unfriendly attitude, and then walked away. Overall, it’s clear that Christy could benefit from some customer service training and better communication skills. Having worked in the food service industry as a server and manager for many years, I know this is not the appropriate way to treat customers or anyone, for that matter. On a positive note, Ethan was amazing. He consistently checked on us and was incredibly kind. Ethan, I’m sorry you had to deal with the situation with Christy. If you decide to visit this restaurant, be sure to ask for him!

A quaint location, with outside music, and bustling vibe inside, Vin 25, at least for me, ticked all the boxes to celebrate my birthday and our guests, one who was also celebrating his birthday. There are many choices in Roswell to dine, but I recommend Vin 25 purely for their food and ambiance. Being a chef and a culinary instructor, I have no faults to share about their food. If you're on a romantic date, and it's not 100f outside, I'd suggest dining outside. On our dining evening, for me, I preferred the cool A/C inside... Let's talk about service. Of course, if something were to go wrong, it will. How Vin 25 recovered, well, perhaps they could have done a little better. Our server, I could not tell if he was a relatively new server, or just didn't know how to open a bottle of wine. We ordered a bottle of the Auctioneer Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (2019). For me, vintage and terroir is everything. For others who read this, maybe not. More importantly, my advice to Vin 25 Ownership, find a local Sommelier to come in and train your servers on the art of wine service. As soon as our server began to remove the cork, I knew we were in trouble. The result was... he broke the cork. I discretely offered to remove the rest of the cork, which I did. He did not seem overly interested in this process, nor did he show appreciation that I removed it, and possibly saved him from a chewing out from his manager later in service. The food was excellent, as I said before... three of us ordered the salmon. I like mine medium rare, and it was perfect. My guests dishes, as far as could tell was also perfect. The salmon was sitting atop a deliciously prepared edamame risotto. In top of the salmon was a fried wonton and a sprinkling of snow crab surimi, which is not snow crab at all (as we know)... usually it's minced up Pollock... but it was a nice garnish. I also recommend the white bean hummus with roasted garlic, feta, and basil oil. The menu stated that this appetizer has preserved lemons. If there was preserved lemons, I did not taste them in the hummus. We also had the Pimento Cheese Fritters with red pepper chili jam. Sweet and salty. Love it. I'd return to Vin 25, and hopefully the servers, by then, are well-trained in the art of wine service.
