About Us

Vision Restaurant Group is behind twenty different restaurants and bars. And we’re still growing. Our concepts revolve around food first but that’s not all. We bring a heightened eating and entertaining experience to the next level. We aim to satisfy every style of patron with our many location options. From fast casual dining to family style, to classic bar style, we love finding new ways to satiate our customers. 

 

VRG was founded by Michael Finkelstein and partners in 2021 to encompass both his existing restaurant ventures such as The Good Wurst, located in North Carolina, and has since become the umbrella company for Lantern, Gallo, and Gallo Express (all based in Connecticut).  

 

We are proud to have celebrated years of success and boast accolades at many of our locations. Over the years, our restaurants have achieved: The James Beard Award, New York Times awards, recognition by Martha Stewart, and more.
