“Hometown Jacksonville - Award winning, retired Exec. Chef - always on the lookout for that special restaurant where exceptional prepared food and ambiance and great service meet my expectations for that five star rating - I found it in Crystal River Fl. at the “ Vintage at Fifth” . From the salads the appetizers, the crispy Duck, the Rib Eye Steak even the Macaroni Chicken Cheese dish all were superb. My compliments to the Chef and management for their dedication to excellence!”

“Everything about this place was excellent! Manager Julie seated us and was so great! Our server was Bree and let me just say, I wish she worked at every restaurant in town. We tried the jalapeño bacon, cinnamon swirl dollar pancakes, home fries, french toast and their eggs. Every bite was delicious! 10/10 ⭐️”

“Was a fan of this restraunt at least one day a week we ate there. Was not pleased when we last went. Waitress forgot our request with our order. My husbands order was half eaten by the time mine arrived. Ask for the male waiter he is not forgetful.. probably will not be back.”

Thank you for all the hard work y'all do owners and staff !! See you soon 😊”

“love their coffee!! Will go back!”

“Awesome spot with great smoothies and a wonderful atmosphere. Crew is always kind and welcoming. A blessing to the community.”

“I purchased a Lemon Meringue pie and a Pumpkin Streusel pie from this pie shop for Thanksgiving, and both were exceptional. The lemon meringue had the perfect blend of sweetness and tartness with a beautifully fluffy topping. But the Pumpkin Streusel pie was truly unforgettable—creamy, warmly spiced pumpkin filling layered under a crisp, buttery streusel topping. It was absolutely delicious and is now my new favorite pie. This shop clearly puts so much care into their baking. I’ll definitely be returning!”

“today me and a friend stopped in to check out the shop. the owners was working the counter and filled us in on all the great products aka super yummy stuff ...he let us sample some till we figured out what to decide on, because everything was too good we finally did and even got some to take home "couldn't resist lol",like to say it was a very clean environment and excellent service with no surprise from a veteran that served for are country as well ....so on an end note please stop by and support this small community business because you won't regret it 😁🍦🍧🍨”

“Easy drive up window, while ordering my coffee and paying for, the workers in the background are professionally preparing my drink. Quick, easy, and professional”

“My hubby remembered coming to this same location many years ago and the food was good. We don't know if it's under the same ownership.
No lie it was a little pricey for us. My husband's Sea Bass was $52. but my hearing isn't always the best and I thought our server said $42..
Oh well, I can't really complain because my husband said that it was THE BEST Sea Bass that he'd ever had at a restaurant. The sea bass was cooked absolutely perfectly and the serving size was much larger than normally offered at a restaurant. He was so pleasantly surprised and pleased at how good it was.
The mash potatoes were good to both of us and the brussel sprouts were excellent as well. I got the steak that was on special and it was large enough to share a good portion with my husband without missing it.
We topped off by splitting a piece key lime pie.
Our server was excellent and very attentive. I wish I could remember her name!
We would definitely return if we lived closer but, we'll be sure to come back if we're ever in the general area.
I've got to add, some people dress up and some don't so come how you want.”

“I finally found the Chinese food I have been craving for several years. Steamed dumplings are tender and filled perfectly, not dry, perfectly moist with a very good dipping sauce. Orange Chicken, perfectly seasoned, moist and tender with the perfect orange sauce. House Lomien is full of perfectly cooked pork, chicken and shrimp. It was top notch. Back Choy is delicious and couldn’t be better. Rachel was the server and also took my order over the telephone. She is exceptionally courteous and thorough, repeating the order to ensure she got it right and making sure all of the condiments were in my bag. This was the best restaurant experience that I’ve had in a long time. The restaurant is small and there are tables if you want to eat in . It was very clean. They deserve the best rating I can give them.”
