Metairie Location

Located near Lake Ponchartrain in the Metairie suburbs, the original Vincent’s is easy to get to and is comfortably inviting. Scents of roasted garlic, fresh basil and delicious dark roux will greet you like an old friend when you walk through the Italian red front doors. You will also be met with a gracious “hello” and a smile…just another prelude to a wonderful dining experience. The linen tablecloths and soft lighting belie the casual, friendly tone set by Vincent and his staff. Vincent’s in Metairie is an ideal venue for a romantic dinner for two, catching up with friends, small family get-togethers or big celebrations.

The staff here considers one another family, and you’re likely to feel like part of the family before dessert is served. Vincent is at the restaurant every evening and is likely to share a joke or funny anecdote with you should you engage him in conversation.

Begin your dinner with one of our appetizers like perfectly golden fried eggplant sticks with house red sauce or the crispy oysters almondine with roasted almonds, lemon cream and a hint of fresh tarragon. Don’t miss our popular corn and crab bisque in a toasted bread cup, a longtime favorite, matched in flavor only by the delicious specials created by chefs Brian Gremillion and Norman
Williamson.

Every entrée includes our cool, crisp house salad with your choice of homemade dressings. The house vinaigrette is filled with herbs, garlic and the pleasant sweet/tart flavor of balsamic vinegar – the addition of savory bleu cheese crumbles makes our tremendously popular bleu cheese vinaigrette. Creamy Italian, spicy Honey Mustard or Thousand Island are also available.

A cornucopia of entrée selections provides something exquisite for everyone’s taste. From traditional lasagna and classic parmigiana dishes to unbelievably fresh fish and spicy grilled duck – you are destined to find a new favorite with each visit to Vincent’s. Local favorites include the Bracialoni (stuffed red veal braised with red sauce like Vincent’s Mama used to make), Parmesan Crusted Chicken (pan sautéed to a golden brown, served over creamed spinach and topped with rich beurre blanc) and our Sautéed Fresh Fish (a seasonal filet) topped with lump crabmeat in a rich cream sauce.

In addition to the two main dining rooms, there are two newly renovated private dining rooms that each hold 25 to 50 guests for all types of events. The double doors adjoining the two rooms may be opened for cocktail parties or receptions for up to 100 guests.
