“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!“

“Stopping for lunch. We have drove by here so many times. Today was the day! Very nice inside with great views of the water Started with the crab corn chowder. Amazing! So delicious. Perfect consistency. Fried BOLOGNA/ Brasstown, NC COUNTRY BOLOGNA, WHITE RICAN CHEESE, MUSTARD SLAW. So good!!! Instead of a thick cut piece of bologna it was lots on thinly sliced slices. Really well done. The mustard slaw was so perfect with the fried bologna. Deb chose the crab cake app as here meal. All of it with the salad and succotash was well paired. Great food. Chilled laid back atmosphere. Would sit outside next time but inside is so nice. Service was awesome. Lindsey Was so nice and friendly. Can't wait to come back.“
