Stopped in on a Sunday evening for a celebratory food fest. I ordered the drink special, a coconut pineapple margarita, which after the first sip from my straw was decidedly tasty UNTIL i realized that : 1. i was wearing brown lipstick and the bright red kiss marks on the rim of my glass were not mine and 2. i had sipped from my straw, so there was NO way that glass was clean. NOT the best start.... we went appetizer crazy, excited over all the better than ordinary options. fresh mozzarella and tomato salad - NICE crab dip with chips AND bread - tasty! breaded and fried asparagus spears with a delightful dipping sauce - YUM! scallops - NOT SO MUCH. first time around they were nicely caramelized on the outside, but COLD and RAW inside. we debated making a fuss, but did send them back. our server was great - but the next set of scallops were cooked to death, chewy rubbery ICK guess the cook wasn't happy with us. ahi tuna - delightful but missing some of the ingerdients listed in the menu... HUH. wrapping up the evening we decided to have a shot, as is our custom...but the tiny blonde bartender was extremely annoyed when our server interrupted her close conversation with a bar patron to question whether the bar had a certain liquor. she reluctantly broke away from her hook up to mix our shots and then proceeded to shut the bar down and turn off the dining room lights AS we finished up our food and drinks. i'd be happy to never see the blonde troll behind the bar again. her behavior was tacky and offensive - wonder if her boss knows how she behaves? that said, the place is decent, the food is better than some other local places and i'm willing to give it another try...maybe next time will be more convincing that Leola does have something to offer

Slow Service..... First visit it was extremely crowded which can be a good sign that it is good. They told us it would be a half hour wait but we waited almost an hour. It took our server 15 minutes to get us drinks and another 15 to take our order. Our appetizer came out in a half hour and good thing we got one because we waited another half hour for our food. From beginning to end, we were there at least 4 hours! Very expensive...... The appetizers were priced right but the entrees were way out of line. The food was good but my burger was well-done not medium like ordered. Crowded.... I attribute the crowd to the great atmosphere. It was a really nice place with a second floor and huge bar. Would I go again?? Yes, for a drink or just dessert or and appetizer. I would definitely call ahead for Reservations.

Charming atmosphere and good food to match. I had the Ahi tuna with a wasabi drizzle that was nicely prepared. The meals each of my friends had looked great and they, too, were positive on them. I look forward to going back!

service is good. food is good, half off appetizers during happy hr is awesome! how ever for regular meals i think it is a little pricey. A classic burger for 12 bucks only to taste okay ill pass.

. Vinola's is our "go to" restaurant. We have had lunch and dinner at Vinola's probably 40 times over the past years. Between ourselves and our guests, all have been very impressed with the unique appetizers, entrées and salads Vinola's offers. Steaks, seafood and pastas are always deliciously prepared and presented. And, as others have mentioned, gourmet, fresh crust pizza, almost impossible to find in Lancaster County, is delicious. We were able to host personal friends this weekend, and we headed to Vinola's. Having been to New Orleans and Italy with this couple, we were excited to see what they thought of our Lancaster County favorite. Fran was able to get a Belvedere vodka martini made exactly as she'd asked. Pete had a perfect Cosmo. We shared three starters: fried green beans with a yummy sauce I wish they'd sell, shrimp flatbread and the tuna tartar all great tasting. I ordered the night's special, panko-crusted sea bass that was juicy, not underdone or overdone and dressed with a chardonnay lemon sauce. My dining partners ordered the fillet mignon, asked for rare and received rare, a Cajun dish with steak tips and angel hair pasta and buffalo chicken pizza rounded out our meal which ended up being shared by all. An added bonus for us is that angel hair, fettuccini and penne are all offered with any pasta dish. Because Vinola's is always very busy, the wait staff, while very friendly and knowledgeable, works hard to keep everyone satisfied. This local restaurant is a fun, lively place where the food exceeds your expectations. Churchtown Inn B&B

Went for a late lunch on a Thursday. I ordered a wedge salad, a Philly cheesesteak was served. I decided to eat the cheesesteak anyway. Bad decision. The roll was stale and dry. Food was cold. The waitress was not friendly and did not seem interested. She disappeared after the food was served and did not follow up until the bill was delivered. I could have used a refill on my drink. Poor service. They were not very busy. I used to enjoy coming to dine here. Not anymore.

The place doesn't look too bad, your average bar-done-over type of feel. The wait staff were just fine, nothing more than I'd expect at the local bar-done-over, but not less either. Food was very slow at coming, but maybe it was something we had ordered because other people ordered after us and got the food earlier. The food was certainly not better than your average bar-done-over. Calamari was not crispy, steak was over done, pizza was topped with button mushrooms, etc. All-in-all, if you can't find anything better than this around perhaps you should go to culinary school.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here over the summer and everything was amazing - special thanks to Ola for all of her help in making it a special evening! That being said, tonight we were unfortunate to meet the other owner - and I hate to give Vinola's a 2-star rating because of such a great previous experience, but his behavior was competely inappropriate - if not borderline sexual harassment. Otherwise, the food and general atmosphere get a 4 and the service (outside of what I just mentioned) get a 5.

Working at a clients facility in Leola, PA so went here for lunch. Client said it was the best lunch place in town in his opinion. Will need to try more places to prove that, but Vinola's was really good. Full on bar with several beers on tap and a decent wine list that was reasonably priced with several options by the glass...but alas...I couldn't sample any during working hours....bummer :) So it was Diet Coke as I looked over the menu. Looks of good looking sandwiches and I settled on the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Bacon, Cheddar, Lettuce and Tomato on a Toasted Kaiser Roll. But I am a P.I.T.A. and like things my way, plus I am on a Chicken Pesto Sandwich kick right now so I asked for Pepper Jack cheese instead of the Cheddar and Pesto instead of Mayo and hold the Tomato. Our server said "No Problem" and that was that. The sandwich came with fries for like $8.95. Well, it was a great. The toasted Kaiser Roll was perfect, chewy but not overly thick to where it was too much bread. They made a Pesto Mayo and brought it on the side and I applied it liberally to the bun. The bacon was thick, chewy and tasty. I really, really liked the Sandwich. The fries looked to be cut fresh on premise and were good. I don't know why but I have never had house cut fries come out really crispy which is how I like my fries but they were good even though not as crisp/crunchy as I would like. We sat at the bar and Ola the bartender took great care of us. Food came out fast and she was refilling my diet coke as fast as I consumed them. We have to split our checks for our party of 4 because of business rules and even though it is a pain for the servers Ola once again said "No Problem" Only been here once but it will be a regular stop for me without a doubt. Our hotel is about 10 miles away but sometime I am going to stop here after work before heading to the hotel and try them for dinner. My client did well with recommending Vinola's...usually I look at Yelp and then make my decision. This time I went based on my client's recommendation and was curious to see what my fellow Yelpsters thought and it looks like they agree it is a very good place.

Entered and the hostess sat us right away. Came by a couple of times to let us know the waitress would serve us soon...we were sat at 5:15 pm. The waitress eventually came and took our drink and food order. 15 mins later our drink and appetizers show up. The drink, apple martini, was okay. The soup would have been great if it wasn't cold. The gin and tonic...well I guess you can't mess that up. 35 minutes later (after soup and apps) our main dishes hadn't showed up. By this time we had been there an hour and needless to say I was ready to go. My husband asked the manager to provide us the check because we wanted to leave. After some running around she comes to our table and starts talking real low saying this isn't McDonalds you have to wait for the food. Hold on...A. I know where I am. B. You are going to force me to stay somewhere I do not want to be. We told her that we wanted to pay for the soups and drinks we had and to leave. She said again...this isn't McDonals you going to eat this food. Oh hell no. I went to the hostess stand and asked for the check. Poor hostess. She was the only one who provided good service. So after 45 mins waiting, yes we counted, no main dishes yet. We asked the manager for the check for the drinks and soups. She then proceeded to yell at us saying this isn't McDonalds you'll have to wait. Overall this place has very poor management, lackluster food and is not worth the time. Avoid like the plague.

Disclaimer: I was super excited to try out this restaurant. This was probably the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Granted I've waitressed for 3 years in NYC, so I feel like I'm more than understanding when it comes to restaurant service. Party of 7, we sat- 3 different people asked us if we wanted a booster seat for the baby and no one ever brought it. We ordered. Our food took legit 50 minutes, people that had ordered after us were getting their food. This restaurant was not full, and it wasn't like everyone was ordering food at the same time this clogging up the kitchen. Our waitress was avoiding us, at least tell us the situation and make sure our drinks are full. My sister had to leave bc the food took so long. The kids food took the longest which is ridiculous bc if you know anything about making a table happy get the kids food out first! So everyone had their food except a kids order of chicken fingers. They came out about 7-8 min later piping hot which leads me to believe they forgot it entirely. All the other food was lukewarm and so salty. The rest of the meal the staff avoided us and didn't even ask if we needed more drinks/refills. What a joke. Finally we asked for the check and refills and 15 minutes later we get our check, no refills... She completely forgot. I thought initially this was just a kitchen problem, but it's also a service problem. And a management problem. Who was on the floor managing? Even a host could've seen the problems. Never going here EVER again. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

I decided to stop here for lunch after hearing they were good. I have been driving past this location regularly for the past few years. The interior is dim. The bar looks nice. They have several taps including a few crafts. You can also purchase six packs to go. Their menu includes apps, salads, burgers/wraps/sandwiches, and flatbreads. Many items on the menu hover around $10. The burgers and sandwiches include fries which can be substituted for slaw and chips (free) or black & tan onion rings ($2). The Hunter's Grinder looked interesting because of the tarragon sauce they put on over beef tips. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the grinder. She noted that the crab cakes are made in house. The portions are sizeable and I felt my crab cake was worth the price. The fries were soggy though so I would suggest requesting they cook to crispy upon ordering, if you like them that way of course. This place is average but I will return at some point to try the Hunter's Grinder. Unless it blows my mind I most likely will not return due to it being out of the way most times. It is a good spot for the true locals as dining options are severely limited where this restaurant is.

The food here is pretty darn tasty, thankfully for them. I say this because if the rating were based on speedy service, there would be only one lonely star up there. That being said, if you're not in a big rush, this is a good choice out of the limited lunch options in the New Holland area. The staff is friendly enough, however, one of the times we visited we were left alone in one area of the restaurant and the waitress checked on us sparingly. My suggestion when visiting is to make sure you're in the main area of the restaurant (close to the front door, which is ironically on the side of the building farthest from the road) to get the best service. Also, making your food decision quickly was helpful because even when there aren't many other customers the servers don't check on you frequently enough. Don't be hesitant to wave them down in order to get refills and other necessities.

Not from the area and stopped by chance. Excellent food, presentation, and price. Very nice atmosphere. Had the snapper with walnuts, tomotes, onions and wine sauce. Perfectly delicious. Will come back again.
(5)Rachel S.
Fresh salads. Warm bread. Okay wine selection. Ahi tuna is fatty. Nothing spectacular...
(3)Andy K.
I've probably been here a hundred times over the past 3-4 years, so maybe I'm a little biased, but I think Vinola's is great. Food is fantastic, selection of beer and alcohol is good, bartenders and waitresses are friendly and helpful. My go-to spot and everyone I've ever taken here has agreed. Unbeatable happy hour specials - $3.95 appetizers!
(5)Margo K.
We've been enjoying Vinola's for years, but the last two times leave something to be desired. Seems like all their dishes are chipped which leads to a poor presentation. I think it's probably not very sanitary either. We stopped in for supper on Friday and I ordered their Wedge, my favorite. The wedge was small, the bacon was limp, the bleu cheese dressing non-existent. When the water that was served before our dinner tasted like it came from a less than fresh bar gun, we should have lowered our expectations. Luckily we had a case of water in the car and quickly brought in our own two bottles. I ordered the Thai chili wings off the torn menu and was told they were unavailable. We ordered the BBQ as a second choice and they were very tasty. Our other meal was the hot roast beef open-faced sandwich, and that was ok, not great, but ok. Oh, Vinola, where has all the quality gone?

Skip this place unless you have a long time to wait for mediocre food and service. Worst salmon I've eaten in a long time. They charge you for salad with dinner??? What's up with that??? Not like their entrees are cheap by any means. A few years ago this place was great. Don't know what has happened.

I was actually really impressed with Vinola's. I'd never been so far out in Leola and had no clue what was out there; and then, as if by fate, stumbled upon this really awesome restaurant. We stopped in for a weekday lunch and there were a ton of cars in the parking lot (always a good sign!). We were seated right away and had a super friendly and personable waitress whose name unfortunately escapes me. I ordered the special, a grilled buffalo chicken wrap with lettuce, tomatoes, and blue cheese, served with French fries. My boyfriend had the crab cake sandwich. I loved my wrap! Really good and tasted very fresh. I especially liked that the chicken was grilled and not fried. My boyfriend thought the crab cake sandwich was good, but that mine took the cake (why would you order seafood in Leola anyway? I digress). The prices were very reasonable, the restaurant was very clean, and the service top notch. A real find!

Crab dip is amazing!!! Most of the food is pretty good, chicken tends to be bland. It's more of a bar setting so we don't being the kids after 7pm.
(4)Tim W.
I've dined at Vinola's at least four times, most during the happy hour. The food is always great and the drinks are always better. I'm a big fan of martini's here. They really make a strong martini and everywhere I go I'm constantly comparing the martini to Vinola's. When I'm in Lancaster again I will go back.
(4)Kay M.
Visited this restaurant frequently until the last year or more. Food was poor and service was terrible. Went back this week and found the food good but the service was terrible. Server couldn't remember our order, never got all of our food, was not offered another drink and got the check before we asked if we would like dessert. It will be a long time if we ever go back again.

My second time here and it has gone downhill--my friends say maybe it was an off-night. The wings made my friend sick, and the (Canadian-style) bacon in the chicken quesadilla was overwhelming, The golden-brown stuffed mushrooms ended up being a portabella cap with a mushy crab cake on top. My drunken scallops were stinky and the pasta didn't have much flavor to the sauce which was thin and runny--yet somehow it stank up the whole fridge. The beef au jus sandwich didn't get a good review either. Ambiance is nice, particularly for a place so far out in the country, and the pinot grigio by the glass was $5. The food was just disappointing. Perhaps a little ambitious for its own good. Better to stick with the pizzas and burgers probably.
(3)Michael K.
Lost our reservations for 8 made to celebrate a birthday, but quickly got us a table as they were far from full. Server did not really seem like she wanted to be there. Drinks were not refilled without asking, food was okay but nothing special. Probably won't be back.

So.... Having the Harvest Moon Bed and Breakfast in New Holland here in the eastern side of Lancaster County leads me to telling guest often that there is not much for creative food in our general vicinity. However not too long ago we discovered Vinola's Restaurant in Leola. It appeared to be another bar with just your typical buffalo wings and maybe a burger. And although you can get this items here, that is not what this place is about. How surprised was I when I entered and found quite a comfortable, warm relaxing atmosphere. With the wood stove upon entrance and the lower ceilings in the restaurant part of the building, the place delivered on a looks. When looking at the menu, I noticed that they were quite experienced at jumping "out of the box" a bit with cookie cutter bars. With things on the menu like, Frosted Almond Brie and Chicken and Goat Cheese Florentine, I knew this place would deliver. And deliver it did, Since it was just a quick lunch I decided to order one of the specials this afternoon and got the Seafood Quesadilla. With fresh greens and salsa on the side, this dish was just right. Monterrey Jack Cheese, shrimp and crab-meat were only slightly masked by the crazy warm heat of Jalapeno peppers. I look forward to going back to Vinola's to experience a full fledged dinner one day. In the mean time, I continue to salivate each time my guest come back with all the juicy details! Thank you Vinola's for offering a great casual place for guest here at the Harvest Moon Bed and Breakfast in Lancaster County.

Good food, decent prices. Always a nice mix of people. Love the Ahi tuna appetizer!

The food was very good and the atmosphere was cozy for a bar. The mussels were some of the best I've had. The pizza was surprisingly great for the location of this restaurant. Great pizza in Leola? Who knew?! The service was initially confusing, but we ended up winning in the end. Our first server disappeared and was replaced with no explanation by Heather, who was very friendly and funny. She was very busy with other tables, but we really didn't wait long for anything. She was so charming, it was hard to be upset about anything. We will absolutely be back!

Met a small group on a Thursday afternoon for a business lunch meeting. The service was excellent and informative. The food - timely and super tasty. This location is cool and easy to get to. Didn't hang out in the bar but wanted to. This is just an inviting, warm, killer place for bar food that's wayyyyy above average. In an area of the country that serves comfort food out the ying yang (or is it YingLing in these parts?), Vinola's does not disappoint.
(5)Mike M.
A great place to meet for a drink or a casual meal. The food has always been good and the service is excellent. A definite step-up in casual dining choices available in Leola. Vinola's has a completely remodeled interior and a large bar. Was last there on a Friday night and it was quite loud in the dining area since it's situated right along the bar, but that's to be expected during happy hour (4-6pm). Good selection of beer and wine, and a full-service bar.
