I was visiting friends in Orlando and we had diner at Chez Vincent. We had a lovely evening. The service was friendly and neither too slow (as in France) nor too fast. Between the four of us (all French), we had the smoke salmon (classic, as expected), the frog legs (delicious and tasty) and the tuna, also quite good, as appetizers. Then we had the chicken crepe, a bit expensive at first sight, but so well garnished that is was worth it; the venison, the duck a l'orange and the lamb. Everything was very well presented and tasty. We then had desserts to share: the creme brulee was very good, not too creamy at it is often the case on this side of the pond and with a delicious crunchy caramel top; the chocolate cake with a raspberry mousse was delicious; the chocolate fondant and 3-layer chocolate cake were good, classic.The neighborhood is lively and it is easy top park.Do I recommend Chez Vincent: YESWill I go back: definitely, next time I am in Orlando.Parking: Free public parking lot almost across the street

Ate in the room adjacent to the main restautant... same menu.. waited an hour for food...our guest had to wait an addition 15 min.... waiter got 2 of 3 orders wrong... room was so cold I had to our on my coat... inappropriate music (loud, bass-y blues) played the boom box on the floor. Not would you expect in an upscale French restaurant. Never again.

Thank you Vincent, Claire and Nastasia for very nice Christmas Eve. The entire experience was perfect!! The wine, the plates, the music and of course the personal attention by the Maurin family made the evening one to remember. Thank you again and our best to you and yours in the new year. ??
Really really good food, not extraordinary, but solidly enjoyable. Every dish for the four of us was cooked impeccably and nicely sauced. The same for desserts. A wide variety of wine and price range. Importantly, this has been the only restaurant in Winter Park where we could have a conversation and hear one another without shouting. Terrific service. If we could return tomorrow night, we would.

I took my wife and 3 off her cousins to Chez Vincent the other night to celebrate a promotion at work.This is one of my favorites for special occasion dining. The food and service are always fantastic.I bought a nice Bordeaux to share and a Cognac for myself. The Bordeaux was wonderful. The Cognac was good, but they didn't have the Remy.Appetizers were Frog Legs and Bruschetta. The Frog Legs were perfect, as was the Bruschetta.All the ladies got the Filet. They were all very pleased.One guest got the Scallops. He thought they were amazing.My dish was the Duck Breast, which is my go-to dish there. As usual, it was perfect.We also shared 2 orders of Chocolate Souffle. No pictures for that. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was good. If you want this, you need to order it before you order dinner. It takes an hour to prepare.If you want some great French Style Cuisine and don't mind paying for it, this is the place to go.I've been a customer for over 20 years, and it never disappoints.

Went to Chez Vincent during the Magical Dining Event. For the appetizer, I had the escargot. It was good but I had better at other restaurants. More plentiful and better sauced. I added a second appetizer because I heard about their cream of mushroom soup. I see why other reviewers loved it. It was very good.I had the Salmon for the entrée and the first bite said it all. Tender,melt in your mouth goodness. You look forward to every tasty bite.I had the Chocolate Raspberry Mousse. Good but quite small.Try this good French restaurant in Winter Park.
I haven’t been here in 10 years or more and won’t go back. First of all, the restaurant was hot. I saw the thermostat and it was 80 which was way too hot for a restaurant. Second, we had the filet on the magical dining menu and it was one of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. It was tough and stringy. They must have bought the meat from a discount place. All three in our party did not like the steak and only ate about 1/2 our meal. The blackened tuna was the best part of the meal. The service was fine but the restaurant is loud and the tables are too close together. It was difficult to even have a conversation. Much better dining options in the area.

Magical Dining Expérience made special. This is an amazing delicious menu with wine pairing and can not be any better. If you are looking to have a delicious meal and a great atmosphere Chez Vincent made it the place to be. WOW. Loved every bite and sip tonight♥️ I am hard to please but Chez Vincent Magical Dining is nothing but a big WoW from beginning to end. No wonder the place was packed.

We chose Chez Vincent during "Visit Orlando Magical Dining". The food at Chez Vincent was outstanding! I started with the Escargot and the Warm Goat Cheese Salad (I couldn't choose). For my entree I had Salmon, and Creme Brulee. You can go to their website to view the menu.I highly recommend Chez Vincent give them a try!
Excellent French cuisine in comfy authentic atmosphere. Loved the signature mushroom soup (don’t dis it until you’ve tried it!). My husband will return anytime for the escargot.

We came for Magic Dining, last year we ordered the filet mignon and we got a regular size. Don't know if they have a new chef, but it was too peppery. Did not enjoy the meal. I am sorry I recommended it to my friends. This was one of my favorite restaurants in Winter Park. Sorry to have to write a bad review.Will try them again to see if they improve. The chardonnay was served in a water glass?? I asked the waiter and he told me they ran out of wine glasses.
Was disappointed in how slow it
