About Vintage '61 Wine Bar & Kitchen

Vintage '61 Wine Bar & Kitchen is a charming spot with a cozy atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including the Caesar Salad, Pan-Fried Halloumi Cheese, Black Prawn Cocktail, Bucatini Bolognese, and Petite Angus Filet Mignon. The restaurant also serves Wild Monk Fish & Lobster Risotto and Creme Brulee for dessert. The wine selection is impressive, with a full bar and reasonably priced drinks. Guests can enjoy a wine flight or a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned. The menu features pan-seared calamari, prime rib with Gorgonzola potatoes, and scallops with green pea risotto. The bison flat iron steak is a standout, and the service is always great. The chef, Carlos, is dedicated to using fresh and seasonal ingredients, and the service is fast and attentive. Guests often enjoy meals like the bison filet, sea bass, rib eye, and swordfish, which are praised for their quality and flavor. The cozy outdoor “backyard” area, shaded by mature trees and umbrellas, adds to the charming experience. Guests have enjoyed delicious Prosecco and a red wine flight, along with the filet mignon and game plate with quail, bison, and wild boar. Clam chowder and French onion soup have been praised, as well as gorgonzola mashed potatoes. The service is wonderful and personable, with a birthday cheesecake on the house. Bread pudding was enjoyed, though more ice cream was desired. The atmosphere was great, with live music fitting the restaurant. Appetizers took a long time, but everything else fell into place.
