Nice place but far from gourmet dining. My wife and I were both disappointed with the chicken. Kind of tough. We felt they were defrosted breasts from a grocery store. Cole slaw was good. Service is good. The food was mediocre.

Slow as all get out over an hour wait to get food but the bread was good

My husband and I decided tried Ventana for the first time last Saturday for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. First, I want to give props to our server, Paige. If I could give the service 6 stars, I would. The staff was friendly and attentive and put up with my 100 questions. The atmosphere was good- it's well laid-out in a historic building and wasn't too loud despite being busy.

They have a good selection of wines (and beer) and were kind enough to let me sample two prior to choosing a bottle. Another prop for having a couple dark beers included.

We ordered the smoky chicken dip for an appetizer and it was very good. It also had a nice kick to it.
I ordered the lasagna and it was very good (and big!) It's worth noting that the sausage in it was very mild- Don't shy away from it if you are spice-challenged.
My husband had the shrimp Alfredo and the Alfredo sauce was as good as other reviewers have noted. I stole a scoop to put in my lasagna. It was so good that I'd have done straight shots of it if that were allowed. He said the shrimp were very good also.

We ordered the peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake and the caramel pecan cheesecake and they were as good as the Alfredo. Neither made it to the to-go box.....

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and will definitely be back. Our only regret is that we live 35 minutes away and can't come back more often and that we didn't get more cheesecake to go.

I’ve been here twice now and the food both times has been truly phenomenal! I’m so impressed! The steak was unbelievable! Every item I’ve had here was just perfect! I’m gluten free and they have many options that are clearly marked on their menu which is so considerate and helpful. I just left and I can’t wait to go back!

Great Shrimp Scampi and Cajun Chicken meals. Don't be in a hurry, but it's well worth it.

I'm glad I went to the Ventana Gourmet Grill. The overall dining experience was lovely. The food was great, our server was friendly and attentive to our drinks and made excellent recommendations. One of the best spinach & artichoke dips around. My steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The exposed brick and tin ceiling added to the atmosphere. This is definitely a repeat spot for lunch or dinner.
