I went into Vincents with my Service Animals to order something to eat. I have done so before and have not had a problem. I take my dog into many restaurants in NYC and NJ and never had we had a problem. Disabled people are protected by Federal Law, their Service Animals are permitted to go everywhere they go and they cannot be discriminated aginst or refused service. Well, Vincent of Vincent's did just that earlier this year (we've had a long term illness, so this is the first chance to post about this).\r
\r
I called the police and even the officers, two of them were clueless about the rights of the disabled. This was such a joke, on them. I told those officers to do some homework and when they learn about their mistake, contact me and apologize. Well, I'm still waiting for the apology. \r

Vincent's food is so-so, it's no high quality. Anyone with good taste would make the effort to go elsewhere. I only went there for a slice of pizza prior to going shopping. So I'm not missing much and have never gone back. \r

I could have sued him and yes I'm going to report it to the press. He's an old world Italian shuvanist slob and so are his employees and he treats the women who work for him like garbage. \r

I had one waiter who thought he was slick talking about me behind my back once, unfourtunate for him, I heard every word. BUSTED JERKO! I told him off politely in front of his boss. You never disrespect customers, ever. I tip very handsomely I told this fella, however, your not going to enjoy that knowledge because of your serious mistake. Respect at all times is the key.\r
\r
If you like high quality Italian food, I would not recommend Vincent's, go to the city, go to Rao's, Patsy's on 56th and 8th or one of Mario Batalli's restaurants, now that's quality.
