Sat at the food bar watching the chefs cook. We got there at 5:10 and the place was packed - it opens at 5! The kitchen was run so efficiently it was entertaining! Our server loves working there. Totally enjoyable and didn't cost a lot!

How about pheasant enchiladas? Wild boar meatballs and superb sautéed asparagus? Come early to be sure of a table, of which there are lots. This would be a hit in any city. Menu always changing with the season. Always locally sourced and fresh. A gem.

Excellent food, wine choices, staff and setting. Great place in a converted older home in Eastport. We enjoyed several visits to this restaurant w family and friends. Loved the appetizers.

Food was great (more later) but our server was rude and inattentive. It may have been an isolated case, could be because we weren't part of the regular crowd. As you can see from other reviews it's popular and the wait is long. There was a small table on the porch that the hostess offered, but because it was getting... More

Small house setting. Packed on a saturday night. But, perfect for a Girl's Night. We grabbed a bottle and sat outside on the bench until our dinner was called. The wine was wonderful, the meal was perfect. I can't wait to go back.

My husband and I recently visited Vin 909 Winecafe in Annapolis for lunch. We arrived promptly at opening time, 12:00, as the restaurant takes no reservations and we had read that there might be a wait. We were glad we arrived when we did as within a few minutes every table was taken, as the available space is somewhat limited.... More

This place ROCKS! Great food, Great atmosphere, Excellent wine list and value. They have a changing menu depending upon the season. The tuna tartar ALWAYS is great, however the preparation. If had it 3-4 different ways and it always rocks. Their pizzas are thin, crunchy crust with highest quality toppings and some different and delicious combinations...ever-changing.

A year or so ago, after the Wild Orchid moved from its long-time location on the Eastport peninsula, Vin 909 opened up. And Eastport hasn’t been the same since. Vin 909 has a lot of things going for it. Great food. Great wine. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Now all they need is about twice the capacity. Walk in the front... More

I had been wanting to try out Vin 909 for quite some time and now that I have I can't believe I waited so long. This place is outstanding. We called ahead to see how busy it was and the hostess recommended we don't arrive too late if we wanted to be seated right away. We arrived around 6:30 pm... More
