Editorial Review for Vynl – by Dana Bowen
The Scene
A distinctive array of neighborhood characters sinks into squishy black-vinyl banquettes, watching the world pass by. Actors and producers seal deals over big salads; couples cuddle behind whimsical plastic partitions; and cheery waitresses mix milkshakes for kids. As if this casual spot needs any more personality, there's a ceramic bust of Elvis and a slew of celebrity action figures behind the bar.
The Scene
The inexpensive American-Thai menu offers a random mix that couldn't be more satisfying. American favorites, like spicy meat loaf with creamy mashed potatoes and gravy, win out over Asian-inspired mainstays. Wasabi-seared tuna wraps and vegetable-stuffed pad thai taste fresh, but it's hard to beat the juicy burgers dripping with melted cheese. Unexpected extras, such as sweet brioche rolls, crunchy homemade potato chips and red-cabbage slaw, distinguish Vynl as a food-serious diner. Don't skip coconut-banana bread pudding: It's comfort on a plate.

Love the Theme! Ok, Like a Big kid I had to peak into each of the bathrooms, too cool. Ya gotta go see to understand. I met Brian the manager and he was so inviting and welcoming. We stayed at least an hour longer than plan for another round after a great meal. I had the Tuna. Fabulous! Great place, so glad my friend Arnold suggested we stop in after the Gadzillion Bubble show, which was really cute, who knew you could do soooo much with a Bubble and to boot, we sat one aisle over from Tom Cruise, a bubbly ;) Thursday to start the weekend off right.
Pros: Great Theme
Cons: None found

I never been so mistreated in a restaurant before, from the hostess not knowing what she was doing, to the bartender assuming I didnt need the mananger from a flippy Waiter waiter with a bad attitude . Serious, hospitality ?? WOW - If you are not a gay guy with with D*** hanging out I assume you cannot get service at that place. Its one thing to be gay friendly because they make your place trendier but hey... Let it run it for you and this is what you get !! DRAMA !! I will totally never step at this place once again . Cannot compliang about the food because I did not had a chance to eat it . Hospitality its not found at this location . Bad service and attitude its for sure the last thing I seak when going out to dinner . After asking for a table and being told that it would take 25 min - after walking around the block we come back and ask the status of the table ( the hostess told us ) I told you 25 min .. How long has it been ?? HELLO >....... Thats how you talk with a guess, I don't care if had been one minute . If they know anything about customer serivce, they should know that is not it . If I ask for the manager I do not need the waiter to tell me I do not need to talk to him .. thats for me to decide . And over all, the prima donna's who are used to offer 1/2 good customer serivces got upset once someone who actually didnt take their half CAN service . Oh, and the table I waited for 1/2 hour didnt exist because they had a private party ... Someone forgot to mention that too !! Never gain .
