You wouldn't see this wonderful winery and restaurant if you didn't pay close attention. I am so very happy I did. It's hidden on the third floor. The waiter was amazing, my tuna stack was delectable, and upon entering, the restaurant atmosphere and view made for a fantastic relaxing meal to be shared and enjoyed with great company. I am always looking for hidden gems to take visiting friends and clients to. I will absolutely be back!!! Thank you Vintana for the experience!

We had a lovely meal, with attentive and friendly service. The food was excellent and they had a great cocktail menu, and the dessert was outrageous.

The overall experience was very good. The steak and lobster my associates was very good however I don't recommend the PIEIA it the worst I have ever eaten...

The food was great - the location however left much to be desired - a restaurant on top of a dealership is not the very best -

Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a dinner at Vintana and could not have been more pleased with the food, service, ambiance and overall experience. Katie was our attentive server, backed by team members who served a wonderfully prepared meal. Our cocktails, appetizers and main dish were all first rate, topped by a personalized anniversary desert. Vintana provided the perfect dinner in every way possible... we will be back soon.

The food was pretty bland, the chicken dry. We had the Filet Mignon, ahi tuna, half chicken, and sea bass. Just nothing to write home about, which is fine, but the prices make you expect the dish to have a little more flavor. Those dishes each have potential - which may lead to a little more disappointment when they come up so-so. Nice ambiance. Friendly service.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Extremely Disappointed – Overcharged in a Dark Setting I had high expectations for Vintana Wine + Dine, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing and frustrating. During our visit, we ordered a bottle of champagne that ended up costing $445, something I did not realize at the time due to the very dark and poorly lit environment. The wine list was hard to read, and no one from the staff pointed out that this was a premium-priced bottle. By the end of the dinner, we were shocked to receive a bill of $609. When I questioned the price, the staff did not take any responsibility or show any willingness to address the issue. I find it unacceptable that such an expensive item could be offered without proper communication or confirmation, especially in a setting where visibility is so poor. This kind of oversight shows a lack of attention and customer care. It ruined what was supposed to be an enjoyable evening. I do not recommend this place to anyone looking for transparency or good service. Be very careful when ordering here – especially with their wine list.

Went there last night for my birthday. The food was amazing. The best dinner I have ever had. Thank you!

My wife and I have been to Vintana a few times for their happy-hour appetizers and drinks, and we have always enjoyed it. We finally went for dinner and were very disappointed.

We ordered roasted peppers, lobster mac, short rib, and seafood platter. The roasted peppers were excellent. The lobster Mac lacked flavor and the lobster was way over cooked. The seafood platter had flavor but the fish was over cooked and dry. The short rib was lacking flavor and was slightly over cooked. The most flavorful thing on the short rib plate was the root vegetables. The red velvet cake was dry.

Also, their pitcher water tasted like mildew. I usually drink a few glasses of water throughout dinner, but I probably only drank half a glass with how bad it tasted. I don’t remember this being an issue on our previous visits.

With our experience being there several times since Covid, this is another time where our wait staff was not as attentive. We know that it was busy, unfortunately, we felt forgotten. Just do better.

OMG, let me tell you about our server, Ricky G.! He was absolutely incredible, like seriously AMAZING! My friend and I were in a rush because we had tickets to a jazz concert and we were celebrating my friend's birthday. Ricky went above and beyond to make sure our food and drinks were served super quickly so that we could enjoy our dinner and make it to the concert on time. He was so understanding, attentive, and just made everything go smoothly. We were so grateful for his awesome attitude and willingness to make our evening special. Ricky totally ROCKS!!! Huge thanks to Ricky!! ??

My wife and were in mood for some good for dinner and of course we thought of Vintana. We ordered the specials of the day the food was delicious and right on time with a great service.

Food was good. Only issue was the waiter sold me on a glass of Pinot noir and then charged me $34 for 1 glass. Absurd. I was just in Spain and was paying less than that for an entire bottle. I wouldn't have minded so much if the glass of wine were excellent. It was just okay. Felt ripped off. Won't be returning soon. If you are going to push wine, do it with a small price list so people are not shocked when they get the bill. This is definitely an example of price gouging.

Food, service, and atmosphere at Vintana is always amazing. We had Crispy Ale Battered Fush and Chips, Local Baja Shrimp Carbonara, and Mud Pie. All are delicious. Our server is very nice and friendly.

It was my twentieth wedding anniversary and were visiting for the first time. The restaurant is on top of a Lexus dealership, seemed strange. Once in the restaurant it was an amazing view. The service was great and the food matched. It was a great memory. If we ever come back to this area would definitely return to Vintana.
