I ordered the steak and lobster - I would have loved to say I enjoyed the food, but unfortunately my filet mignon was overcome by salt from the sauce it was topped with so, they cooked a second steak that was way under cooked. By the time I was able to return it I had already been waiting a long time so I was done.
They offered a small discount on a $155 plate.
With that said, NO, I would not return to this restaurant.
The server was very kind, though.
I do highly recommend Tommy's Restaurant, which is only a few blocks over.

I’m a pescatarian and ordered a salmon salad, clearly stating I don’t eat meat. Shockingly, bacon was hidden under the salmon. The dish was returned, but came back with the same piece of fish, simply without the bacon — completely unhygienic and disrespectful.
My husband’s steak was also cooked incorrectly (served rare instead of medium). For a restaurant that wants to present itself as elegant, this level of carelessness is unacceptable. We cannot recommend this place.

I ordered a New York steak, specifically asking for it to be cooked medium. It arrived medium rare (closer to rare). My wife is a pescatarian and ordered a salmon salad, clearly stating she doesn’t eat meat – only fish and seafood. When the salad arrived, there was bacon hidden underneath the salmon. The dish was returned, but came back with the same piece of salmon, just with the bacon removed. That’s simply unacceptable and unhygienic, especially in a place that aspires to be a fine dining restaurant. Based on this experience, we cannot recommend this place.

The ambience of this restaurant is amazing. The food was of the freshest ingredients. I had a special the red snapper. I loved the rice pilaf you can tell it didn’t come out of a box. The cocktails were excellent especially Truth or Dare.
My husband and I were in town shopping. He was looking for places to grab something to eat. He came across TVP and wanted to try it out. I was hesitant because it said fine dining and we were nowhere near dressed for fine dining. He insisted. We walked in on a Sunday during brunch. We were greeted with a smile and immediately seated. The attentive ladies whom I did not get names, were amazing! Richard was nice with the piano keys and greeted us as he was making his exit.
Now, for the food. I can tell you how delicious it was or you can come and see for yourselves. Which I recommend y'all do!
I had the pleasure of taking my mom to The Vintage Press for Mother’s Day brunch, and it was an experience I’ll cherish for years. From the moment we stepped through the grand red canopy, it felt like entering a world where every detail matters – a place where the art of living is celebrated.
Inside, the dining room felt like a living gallery, with mirrored walls reflecting the warm glow of chandeliers and the soft, graceful notes of live piano music. The hand-painted murals from 1980, with their flowing lines, classical figures, and vibrant floral arrangements, added a touch of timeless romance to the space. These panels, rich in color and detail, echoed the artistry of the food itself – each dish a carefully composed masterpiece, as much a feast for the eyes as it was for the palate.
From the perfectly folded linens to the fresh pink roses on each table, every detail felt thoughtfully chosen, creating an atmosphere that was both refined and deeply comforting. The food was presented with the same attention to artistry as the murals on the walls, each plate a small canvas, reflecting the care and passion of the chefs.
Thank you, Vintage Press, for creating a space where memories like this can flourish – a place where every meal is a celebration, every bite a brushstroke in the art of living.
