Probably the best in town. It’s the quality of the food, Ingredients and all around world class experience that brings a me back time and time again. No other restaurant has this much invested nor puts the effort into making each guest feel so welcomed. I consider this place my go to when I want a truly great dinner experience. Well done!

Went for the first time, and it took over an hour and a half before we could eat. Unfortunately, our meal was sent out incomplete, and we were told they had run out of the sauce that came with our entree with no substitution. For the price point, it's not worth it. The food was just okay. Plenty of other restaurants in town can deliver at a higher quality.

First, I would say this place does show some promise. However, the execution is very underwhelming for the price point.

The atmosphere feels modern, bright, and offers a couple big screens on which to watch the game. The atmosphere feels like somewhere you'd go for lunch and casual drinks. Not really a cozy or romantic dinner vibe, IMO.

The tables are so small that staff has trouble fitting appetizers and drinks on it at the same time. Dinner became a game of tetris.

Appetizers- We tried the meat balls. We were a party of 4. Everyone at the table commented that they were very dense, meaty, and lacking in herbs or flavors other than just ground beef. Maybe they could use some diced mushrooms, parmesan, or Italian herbs inside the mix. Maybe even truffle salt, garlic, or parsley. Something more...

Dinner item 1- 1 person orderd the steak dish. The broccoli was good, but the steak was terribly plain in flavor. It tasted like an unseasoned piece of meat, with a mild au jus sauce on it. That was it. Felt like a let down. Not the taste experience you'd expect for over $60.

Dinner item 2- 1 person had the salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans. Ok, it was me. The salmon was just ok. It had a bit too much smoke flavor added to it, that the pecans with it tasted thrown off balance and out of place. The mashed potatoes were described as garlic mash, but I kept tasting Dijon mustard, or something like that, in them. I gave up on eating them. The after taste was very Dijon. The green beans were good.

Dinner item 3- Kid's chicken tenders. They tasted like Publix chicken tenders. Not much else to say. The fries were just fries with black pepper on them.

Dinner item 4- The snapper with grits. The 1 person who ordered this absolutely loved it. Maybe we all should have ordered that. Lol

Dessert item 1- The carrot cake. It tasted just like grocery store bakery carrot cake, complete with some orange coloring in the icing. Whole Foods' version or homemade is so much better. This didn't taste like "pastry chef" quality to any of us.

Dessert item 2- Blackberry Cobbler was decent enough. Not notably wow. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

Dessert item 3- The creme with berries was good, however, I don't believe the menu said it was chocolate. What we were served was very much lile a chocolate mousse with a sliced strawberry, 3 blueberries, and a mint garnishment.

Wine- The good part. The 1 bottle of wine we ordered was probably the best part of our dinner. Yay.

To summarize, The Acre, The Depot, The Botanic, and Zazu have produced food that has impressed us. They also fell under tonight's price point at Vintage.

For the level of food enjoyment we had tonight, we won't be back.

This has become probably my favorite spot to dine. Food is always excellent. Love the atmosphere and general layout of the dining area. Drinks are wonderful, and if you still have room after your meal, the desserts are excellent.

Atmosphere was awful, food was okay. Definitely not planning on returning.
Honestly, I've had better meals at Chuck E Cheese.

A very appealing location with a contemporary feel. Sorry to say had several misses with the $ 100.++ meal. The Green Tomatoes were undercooked. Yet, the pecan chicken was burnt. The Snapper meal was very underwhelming and such a small piece of fish. Even though our server was very supportive, we had to send back a super cold Mac and Cheese side. They suggest they sell items related to the butcher meats store next door, yet only one steak option on the menu. Very surprised they had no fresh dinner specials or options, vegetables, sides, or apps. We will not return as this dinner option does not match their trendy location.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were prompt and courteous. After placing our order for appetizers they moved us to a larger table to accommodate the additional dishes. The staff was attentive to refills and additional drinks throughout the service. We went with our best friends and they too enjoyed the experience. Our entrees were large portions. Our table got the flounder, filet, and ribeye. I recommend this restaurant!

Food was soo over salted starting with the bacon cheddar cornbread to the gumbo and porchetta. The best part of dinner was the caesar salad.

Loved this place from the moment we pulled up. Atmosphere is great, service was awesome and food was fantastic. We had a party of 8 for graduation and luckily we had made reservations well In advance. Place filled up quickly. We will definitely eat here again!

We were going to celebrate my GFs bday here and they JUST, this past week, changed their store hours to be off on Sunday and Monday. They called her once, while she was working, and didn’t bother to leave a voicemail. Thankfully she called back to see if they allow customers to bring bday cakes bc they told us they cancelled our reservation (less than a week in advance). Unlucky on our end, but you CAN do better than that.

Overall, it was a great experience. Had an issue with my husband's steak, but the staff was super kind and went above to resolve the issue. The good was delicious, very flavorful and fresh. The vibe was welcoming, and those drinks are the truth. Our server Eve was AMAZING! We'd certainly be back.
