    Wow, what a disappointment. We each started with an Aston Martin drink, which was a refreshing peach vodka-blueberry number. Unfortunately our server didn’t offer to refill those once we had finished. We shared a spinach and parmesan dip, which came with thick flash-fried toasted pita. The pita was interesting; I’ve eaten a lot of pita over the years and hadn’t had it prepared that way before. The dip was quite runny - any more so and it would have been a soup. I had the American carbonara and a side of the Vintage potatoes. The carbonara was fine, but I wouldn’t get it again as it was completely unmemorable. The vintage potatoes come as a single-serving baked casserole that was so cheese-heavy I couldn’t eat any more than a bite. Besides being basically a block of fried cheese, the edges were also burnt. The service could only be described as terrible. Our server opened by telling us the cost of the oven (apparently it was $25,000k), which we thought was gauche. We were never asked if we wanted another drink, and the service took excruciating long. After we finished, it took over a half hour until we closed the check. For one round of drinks, an appetizer, and two entrees, it took close to two hours. We just had to sit there and wait. And then wait some more. Finally, apparently something in the expensive new oven caught on fire and the restaurant started smelling of smoke with different tables commenting on it. Overall, mediocre food with abysmal service. We won’t be back. It was a huge disappointment, and not anywhere close to being able to command the prices they list.

    It's been about two years since I've been here, so my husband and I decided to give it a try. Atmosphere was nice when we walked in, we got seated in a nice area. Service was good, not great, nothing over and above. We ordered lobster Mac and cheese, it was drenched in sauce with one piece of lobster in the middle. You couldn't even taste the lobster. We ordered pasta with mushrooms. Also super drenched in sauce, the few tomatoes and spinach pieces were lost in the sauce. Fish and chips not tasty. We were so disappointed in the food. My advice, less is better and use fresh ingredients. Two stars for clean bathrooms and nice employees.

    It's been about 10 years since I've been here. I remember the first time being excellent and my second time did not disappoint. The service and food were exceptional. My family enjoyed the sea bass, 9oz filet, and shrimp scampi for our entrées. Also enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and creme brulee as well as some nicely made cocktails from the bar. If you like a dirty martini or a rusty nail this place makes a mean one! Our lovely waitress, Chantall was very pleasant and provided excellent service! I'm surprised at seeing some of the poor reviews for this establishment. If I had one minor complaint it would be the silverware was odd to hold, rolled in hand compared to a flat piece setting. I will definitely return in the future the next time I'm in town. Keep up the good work!

    Husband surprised me with dinner here on a Tuesday evening. He made a reservation but it probably wasn't needed as it was fairly quiet this night. Kari was our superb waiter, who made the dinner remarkable. We were never out of water, a used plate didn't sit on the table for longer than a few seconds and everything was performed with a smile. We had the Caprese salad, which they split for us. Delicious and just enough to get the meal going. Fresh bread while we waited a short time for our main course. David's rib eye was cooked precisely as he specified. I had the seafood linguine because I wanted a dish that would yield leftovers. Again, proteins cooked to perfection and not overdone. Lastly, David wanted dessert, the Triple Chocolate cake. Very good also. And yes, they have an extensive wine list (we had a malbec). Elegant, comfortable atmosphere. Music was not too loud. My one complaint is that some items seemed pricier than warranted but the overall experience made it worth it, at least for us. It was a good evening. (Hard to believe this place is 11 years old when she doesn't look a day over 2. 🤣)

    Classy is an understatement! This place was amazing, we just went for a drink and an appetizer and we were not disappointed (with the drinks and food). We ordered 2 Espresso Martinis (each) and an order of steak quesadillas. The martinis were exactly what the Dr ordered and the quesadillas were absolutely delicious. The ambiance was relaxing and very posh! My only complaint is that our waitress was not attentive. It took a long time for her to grace us with her presence and we had to get up from our table to ask the bartender for napkins for the appetizer. We also had to request our check twice. It was not busy at all. There were only 2 other tables and 4 people sitting at the bar. We were her only table 😮‍💨 We went again last night and it was another great visit! This server was wonderful!! I wish I had caught her name. The latter gets the louder the music gets. But we still had a wonderful visit!

    It was a lovely spot for an intimate dinner and the food was delicious! The zucchini fritters are a must and the food came out very timely as well. The drinks were pretty tasty as well, but as the scene changed from happy hour dining with live music, to dinner with loud techno music, it did not feel like they were catering for the guests and rather the staff that wanted to feel more awake. I had reservations at 8 so I would have appreciated more mood setting experience. I'm sure I'll try again to see how another night plays out.

    My beautiful daughter took me out for my birthday. Everything was amazing, but the service sucked! Very rude maybe they were just having a day but I sure will go back because of the food

    Beautiful restaurant with an excellent staff and superb food. The pastas are esquisito here. Only thing they need to do is get new aposterlery for some of the booths.

  • 3/5 Tina A. 6 months ago on Google
    It started with; We placed an order for drinks and it too way too long to receive them, 20 minutes. We asked if we could get bread for the table and that took 15 min or more. Food tasted good. We received our bill and I told the waiter that it would of been nice if you offered bread in the beginning so as if I didn’t need to ask and he said it was on an asking basis. I mentioned you could of asked if we wanted dessert before handing us the bill and he said nothing. THEN we noticed the gratuity was already on the bill. So he had nothing to work for. Gratuity is earned not automatically given. The restaurant was not jammed. Would pass on this restaurant.

    Usually when I go out I think to myself I could've made this at home but eating here saved a lot of time and effort. That is not the case here. Each dish has that little something extra that sends it over the edge into culinary excellence. The atmosphere and decor was also very nice. A superb selection for date night.

    I finally had the opportunity to experience vintage 423. I was very impressed with the overall appearance and setting of the restaurant. The staff was very polite and friendly and allowed me to enjoy my time while I determine what I was looking to enjoy from their menu. My overall experience was very wonderful food was very tasteful and the staff was very pleasant. I saw them taking care of other individuals and it was refreshing to see that type of service extended to every customer that was in the restaurant. That speaks highly of the management and what they want to achieve above and beyond with Vintage 423.

    I went straight to the bar to have a night cap, so I ended up with two chocolate martinis. I went at weekday so it wasn’t that full. The bartender is really friendly and the restaurant has great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 8 months ago on Google
    Great staff, excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere. I've enjoyed dinner and lunch at Vintage. Both experiences were what you would expect from this kind of eatery. For dinner I enjoyed the lamb. For lunch I enjoyed a prime rib sandwich. Both excellent experiences. Love this eatery.

    This place nailed it in every area for a restaurant. Especially to be 5 star. The staff and service was on point. The chef who made this menu killed it. Not only was the presentation great, the flavor profile was amazing!

  • 3/5 Rogue D. 1 year ago on Google
    Steve and Doug Butabi would be here every night. The music is loud and techno. There’s a bar and booths to sit. Food wise, It is expensive for what is offered. Your friend, George Washington, would be left by himself. The Chilean sea bass had an over powering fish taste. It was a disappointment. The dessert was okay. This place would be great to bring someone you’re iffy about to drink, but not to dance, you don’t want to talk to them too much, but you want to have some conversation and you secretly like techno but you don’t know if your guest rocks with techno or just wasted your time.

    Great atmosphere and good music at the bar. Food was good. Wouldn't say outstanding, but good. Nothing special on the menu that makes them stand out from any other restaurant. Definitely are paying for atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Janette M. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was good. Lobster bisque was good, risotto was GREAT, vintage potatoes could be amazing (if they let them heat up long enough for the cheese in the center to melt) and the tres leches was alright. Would I come back for steak? Probably not. Would I come back for the sides? Absolutely. The lounge menu looks promising if we come back.

    Love this place. Wonderful staff and delicious desserts. They also have really good appetizers and an incredible liquor and wine list. If you're looking for a great place to hang out especially on their balcony with some friends, this is the place to do it.

  • 5/5 Trevor J. 2 years ago on Google
    Out of this world dining would 110% recommend. The chilean sea bass was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had, hands down. Our server Yuli was so on point and attentive; thanks for an amazing and memorable night!

    Place is amazing! Loved the rooftop bar area. Design details are beautiful and unique. All of our food was phenomenal! Bartenders made great drinks, Carrie our hostess was the best! We enjoyed our visit! Thank you!

    It was girls night out, bestie from Connecticut in town and a few other friends. The ambiance was superb! We were there nearly 4 hours, drinks, dinner with bottle of wine and deserts to share and great conversations. Our waitress and food was awesome, couldn't have asked for a better night out!

  • 5/5 Logan H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is pricey but very good! The food tasted fresh and amazingly delicious! My wife and I went here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff was good and the service was good too! We ordered the shrimp scampi, 9oz filet, and apple cobbler. If you feel like splurging a bit this is the place to do it. The decorated atmosphere was nice and relaxing on the inside. You have to reserve a table before coming here so be prepared ahead of time for that. Different foods are served at different times. They have a variety of drinks to choose from as well. Have a great time if you decide to go!
