• milestone birthday party

  I recently hosted a milestone birthday in the Wild Backyard Garden at Vinegar Hill House and it was truly an exceptional experience. The food was spectacular and the service impeccable. The team was so polite and responsive throughout the whole planning process that no detail was overlooked and everything went so smoothly on the big night. Highly recommend hosting your next large group dinner at Vinegar Hill House. Thank you to the whole team for a magical, unforgettable evening!

• corporate dinner

  We hosted a corporate dinner event at the Carriage House and it was an amazing experience. The venue offers the perfect blend of privacy and upscale ambiance—ideal for a professional gathering. The staff went above and beyond, helping us customize the menu, print additional materials, and graciously accommodating us even after our scheduled time ended. The food was excellent across the board. While the pasta could have used a bit more seasoning, the salad, chicken, and chocolate cake were standout dishes. I can't recommend this venue enough for anyone planning a corporate event—it truly exceeded our expectations!

• rehearsal dinner

  I had my rehearsal dinner and welcome party to kick off my wedding weekend in the private dining room & carriage house at Vinegar Hill House and our experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was cozy and warm, perfect for a family celebration - and, most importantly, the food was exceptional. Karl was incredibly responsive (and patient!) with us as we planned our event. I highly recommend Vinegar Hill House for any private special event!

• large party dinner, party of 14

  I worked with Karl from Vinegar Hill House to book a table for a large (14-person) party at the end of August. I was able to choose from a prix-fixe menu with lots of different options and opted for open bar for the group. The entire experience was spectacular - not only was the food incredible, but every single person on the staff was so great. We were a rowdy bunch and could've understandably been too much to deal with, but everyone was so kind and helpful. Luckily the weather was great so we ate outside on the back patio which is a perfect setting for dinner. I can't recommend this place enough and will definitely be back.

• post wedding dinner, party of 8

  Eh… I had my after wedding dinner here for a group of 8. They were super kind setting up the reservation, seating us and the service was great but honestly, their portion size and claim to serve “family style” was truly puzzling. We ordered a ton but still left hungry. I would suggest you dine here for 2 and no more than that… you’ll need to order at least two “family style” entrees as well. Idk… not returning.
