    We had 4 for lunch and Birthday celebration. The experience was ok. We had two appetizers. The Pork belly and peppers was disappointing. The peppers were delicious, but the pork was hard, crisp and tasteless. Lots of peppers and not much pork belly. Not succulent and juicy as expected. The Brie was warm but hurried and firm in the middle. With only 4 crispy toasts, not much to work a nice piece of Brie with arugula and garlic. We had 2 Chicken dishes and Fish and chips. The fish is very bready. The chips came with maybe 1 ounce of ketchup and one tin of tartar sauce. Not much to cover the fish and chips. We had a bottle of Chardonnay and a few beers and after $270 I expected more. A very nice touch to have a treat for the birthday. Full tip to the server. $65. The food was average and less than expected. Been to Vintana many times and a bit disappointing.

    Once again Vintana Happy Hour was excellent. Food is always fresh and comes to our table quickly. The only suggestion I have is for the servers to put serving spoons in the appetizers. Also a separate dish to discard shells if you are ordering the mussels. Should be a standard practice.

    Our table wobbled and spilled a good amount of their expensive cocktails on the table. Had to ask twice for additional water. Food quality was very good.

    We booked this for a group solely based on location and the large number of great reviews - and were very happy. While not a traditional location, sitting above a car dealership, the minute we stepped into the place we were impressed. The place is quite large but it feels intimate, comfortable, and cozy. The service was very professional and attentive, the food and beverage options were absolutely fantastic. A range of options means that vegetarian to carnivore will find something to their liking. The wine list is extensive. And for the quality and service, the prices are well within the range of “reasonable” compared to competitors. The sesame crusted brie and the ahi tuna appetizers were excellent, as were the sea bass and salmon entrees. The rice bowl was a great choice and well presented. Unlike many restaurants, the portions were generous and plated beautifully. For a party of 8, the food came all at the same time, was hot and fresh. A-plus for service and presentation on an A-plus meal. Would absolutely recommend if in the area.

    With the high cost of dining out this Happy Hour is a value. We had the Calamari and Flatbread and they were very good. Two adult beverages that were different and with the two it did not break the bank. Ask for Isaac Sr as he was great. Reservations are strongly suggested as there are not that many many tables for happy Hour.
