My wife and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner. Joshua did a great job serving us and was very polite the entire evening. We sat in the half-circle booth where we've sat before and it seems to capture every other conversation in the room; cozy but not quiet. The drinks and food were very beautifully prepared and the surprise complimentary dessert was great.

Vintage House was exquisite as usual! Molly was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu items. We always have a great experience and the meal never disappoints!!

The calamari was tough to eat. Vintage House has been our favorite date night venue for many years. The service was friendly and professional, but the food was not. My salmon entree was lukewarm at best, who likes eating cold orzo and the same with my husband's fettuccine and "cold" shrimp.

Great place to visit with good friends. Sharing good food in an atmosphere that is conducive to conversation. No loud music to spoil the evening. Will certainly keep visiting.

The cost did not reflect the quality of the food. It was good, but not "great". The drink prices were utterly ridiculous. $24 for a martini, plus tax and tip placing pricing in excess of $30.00. One drink, shared appetizer and desert with bill over $200 for two. Service was exceptional. Kudos to the staff. If you are looking for a "relatively" quite dining experience, good service and overpriced food/drinks. This is the place for you. We have eaten many times in the past. Inflation has certainly affected the cost of this dining establishment.

New Years Eve. $100/person. Food was ok at best. Have eaten here before and the food was excellent. There was nothing in the 4-course meal that was better than ok. Will not be going back for New Years Eve.

If you do not climb stairs, make certain to request a table on the first floor! New Years Eve service was good even though the restaurant was packed. We waited a considerable amount of time for our entree to be served and it could have been a bit warmer. Quite loud music from speaker directly over our table.

I was very disappointed with the experience. We have been here before and it was excellent but there is clearly a new chef. My mother, whose birthday we were celebrating, was served BURNT fish and my dish had so many crushed peppercorns that I could barely taste anything else. I also have a dairy allergy which they were gracious about but I was concerned when I was told that the chef could remember if their Madeira Demi-glacé had dairy in it or not. This indicates it was not freshly made but packaged. The only items that were good were the calamari appetizers and the deconstructed profiteroles that was served complimentary for her birthday. I feel terrible that my gift to my mother turned out so horribly and I will NEVER patron here again. The only thing that salvaged the night was that the service was kind and attentive.

Under the previous owners this restaurant was excellent. Now it's not. We were served soup that was uneatable. When we complained we were told it was the end of the pot and were not charged. Our other guests at our table were given fresh soup. We will not go back

The server was absolutely the best! He was very attentive, made several suggestions and was very helpful. Food was excellent for the most part. I had the barramundi, which was delicious but I felt it was cooked a bit too much. I needed to use a knife to cut a piece and I can't say I have ever needed to use a knife on fish before. The drinks, basic gin and tonic, did not include a lime, which I didn't think I would need to ask for one. Excellent dessert! Nice atmosphere.

Food was very small portioned for the price and they were out of all deserts and all steak and fish

We had a lovely dinner. The atmosphere was perfect and the food absolutely exquisite. The staff were amazing from the moment we arrived. I feel this is a hidden gem and we will definitely be back soon! Delightful experience.

everything was super great. Food is always good. We have been going there for many years and have always enjoyed it. The part we wish we could change, is most likely impossible to do. Our last visit was the same. We had our special little nook and enjoyed the privacy as we arrived there for a 5:30 reservation. By seven a table arrived with four woman, and were they ever loud. My wife and I had to repeat several times because of the noise. But how can that be avoided. I've no idea, but it would be nice.

We were simply disappointed in the food prep quality. The fish and the steak were over cooked. The French green beans we hardly steamed enough to chew.

Robert

Vintage House is our favorite celebration restaurant! The food is consistently delicious, the staff are friendly and attentive but never intrusive. The house itself is charming. We've always been very pleased with our experiences there.
