Booked 1 time today
My husband and I came here for date night and had a great experience. The service was kind, attentive and well paced. We got oysters and calamari for appetizers, the seared ahi and linguine with clams and prawns for dinner, and the crème brûlée for dessert and it was all delicious. The drink and wine selection was also great. I’d definitely recommend Vintage 61 if you’re looking for a nice dinner.

We had THE BEST service!!! Gracie was so attentive and felt like part of our party vs. an interruption. Of course, The Village offers an amazing ambiance, but Kona tops the experience with great food and incredible service!!! We will be back!

I treated my friend for his birthday and we all were very impressed with Red Feather. My friend is huge into brunches and loved the variety of choices of the menu. I'm not a big breakfast food person and had deep appreciation of the not-so-brekky items available. The steak and eggs were cooked to perfection! My husband (who has a sweet tooth) highly recommends the French toast!
