Wonderful Shrimp Appetizer and Fresh Oysters. One of the best Crab Cakes I've ever had, along with best Southern Succotash. Liz, the server at Bar where we sat, was very nice and great at her job. Drinks were top notch. So, you get what you pay for...prices are higher than most anywhere else, but it's a once-in-a-while place to go, a "special occasion" place. Beautifully decorated, inside and out (patio in back).

First, the decor was specular. We were seated as soon as we arrived in the corner with a beautiful view of the garden/greenery. We felt so welcome with open arms. Second, it was our nephew's high school graduation celebration and we were the only table with tablecloth and special table setting that made us feel very special and cozy. Third, adding "Congratulation Graduate" to the menu was out of this world. He felt very special that Vintage Tavern went the extra mile to honor him. Our server was very accommodating and patience with us and with a smile.

Food was great, if a bit pricey. The dining room was way too loud but I don't see what they can do to address that.

The food was good. Burger prepared well but fries were average. Salad was crisp and fresh. Mussels were good. Service was excellent…personable and attentive.…we ate in the bar and it was comfortable. All in all a pleasant experience.

The music, service, drinks and food were amazing. The first time that I had shrimp and grits and it was soooooooo good. Dani was very knowledgeable about the food made great suggestions and was on point. I definitely will be returning. I know it was their first visit and hopefully not the last ---that jazz band was awesome.

For my birthday dinner we went early on a Tuesday which made it nice because we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. The mixed drinks and wines were very good, so were the apps and desserts that we tried. The issue we had was none of our steaks were cooked to the proper temperature. My husband ordered his filet "Pittsburg" and my daughter and I ordered ours "medium" What we got was 1 medium rare and 2 medium well. My husband is used to not getting the steak how he likes it but the server said that a lot of people have been ordering "Pittsburg" or very rare steak and she said the chef knew how to prepare it that way. I guess we were just disappointed as in the past the entrees have been on par with the rest of the food. We love this little restaurant but if the entrees continue to be disappointing we will have to find somewhere new.

Went for a Sunday Sippin wine tasting and it was outstanding! Patrick was one of the servers and he was fabulous. Angela facilitated the wine tasting and she was excellent. This is my new favorite wine tasting! Stay for dinner and the food and service were great!

Despite having the last brunch reservation timeslot, all the food options were plentiful and delicious! Our server, Ally, was attentive, friendly and engaging. Great Father’s Day brunch!
