The Pig was super! as was the spam rice.

The restaurant appears to be fine dining with a nice atmosphere. The food is good, with meals like steak and chicken that are no different than what might be found at other places like Outback. The price is competitive, making it accessible for many guests. The outdoor patio is a great venue for large groups to gather for cocktails and appetizers, especially at night when the view over the city is beautiful. Access is easy, just off the 15 freeway. The wait staff and servers are excellent, providing friendly service that adds to the pleasant ambiance. Some dishes, like the Sea Bass, are tasty, though the macadamia crust can sometimes be mushy.

Recently, guests celebrated special occasions at Vintana. One guest enjoyed a dinner for a 50th birthday, finding the service excellent, despite it being a bit slow at times. The food was amazing, and the drinks, especially the "thin mintini," were fantastic—so good that multiple were ordered. The restaurant accommodated a custom birthday cake with a Cubs theme, which was loved by the celebrant. The staff was friendly and allowed outside cakes, creating a memorable experience. Guests appreciated that the restaurant didn’t rush them, even when they stayed late, and noted that the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. Overall, many found the experience spectacular, with wonderful food and drinks, making Vintana a great choice for special celebrations.
