The Vineyard - Madera

From the moment I walked into the restaurant we were greeted as though we were regulars. The bartender was most gracious in making a recommendation for a fun Friday night libation prior to dinner; it was a Lemon Drop and it was outstanding. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and quite accommodating when I requested an appetizer that was not on the menu. The Seared Ahi Tuna appetizer was delicious and quite a generous portion. The Lamb Shank was so tender that the meat fell off the bone. Did not indulge in the homemade desserts but I did enjoy a fabulous Irish Coffee. The Vineyard is a “do-over” on my list of fine dining establishments in the Fresno area.

I really like this restaurant. The service especially is excellent: knowledgeable, always there when needed, but not obsequious. Very reasonable corkage $10 per). Reasonable prices 6 persons,2 courses,$162 including $20 corkage on two bottles). Lamb shanks and seafood pasta and pumpkin ravioli very good, mushroom lasagna and house lasagna and stuffed chicken, excellent. THE restaurant in Madera. Locals love it, and many drive from surrounding areas we drove from Fresno).

Lots of fun with two tables of ten! Service was great in spite of the crowds. Food was wonderful.

Awesome place they use local produce and local wines. the employees are great

We had a great time at the Vineyard Restaurant. The food was great. The owner even came over and opened one of our bottles of wine we brought for the occasion.
