My wife and I met some friends at Vincintorios for the once a month special entertainment dinner. The entertainment, "Dueling Pianos" was enjoyable but the voices of the male and female piano players was atrocious. They played for over two hours of oldies at a volume level that did not allow conversation with others in our party without shouting in their ears.

The sound system was shrill and did nothing to enhance the horrible voices of the duao. It actually exacerbated an already terrible sounding performance. The female singing piano player was monotone and sounded like a duck. What they need is a sound system that enhances the voices and artificially expands the range of their voices. That along with the employment of a program called "Perfect Pitch" which when used in the audio system artificially modifies the sound of the performers to expand the dynamic range and keep the augmented voice on key. With out this I would never go to this place again especially when "Dueling Pianos" is performing there.

The seating was long wedding style tables. This might be good for the management to pack the house but terrible for a night out with friends. Nothing worse than sitting with friends shouting to try to have a conversation with total strangers sitting shoulder to shoulder to you. No private conversation possible. The place was packed, the music was loud and off key the entire time. The irritating voice of the female entertainer sounded like a duck being played like a bagpipe. These people need new voices. I am sorry but only a friend will tell you if you have a booger in your beard.

The food was good adequate not great and the portions were fair but nothing to write home about. The prices were average and the service was great.

I will not be going back there soon, perhaps never. The whole thing is overrated.
