    We really enjoyed the happy hour experience at Vintana. Great selection of $10 items for both food and cocktails. Highly recommend! Super cool setting above the Lexus dealership. Who knew?! Makes me want to buy a Lexus!

    As always the menu offered many interesting selections, but the ahi tuna/nicoise salade was simply EXCELLENT. I would welcome a quieter environment.....even tho lowered, the music in the patio was still too loud for my sensitive hearing. The patio was cheerful and lovely.

    The service was horrible. My companion received her food 10 min before I did and my side of green beans came at that time as well. We kept asking about my food order and were told “it’s coming”. It finally arrived and by that time the green beans were literally cold (we sat outside) when not edible. There was no acknowledgement as to why my order took so long nor was there an apology. Very disappointed.

    I had high expectations for Vintana Wine + Dine, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing and frustrating. During our visit, we ordered a bottle of champagne that ended up costing $445, something I did not realize at the time due to the very dark and poorly lit environment. The wine list was hard to read, and no one from the staff pointed out that this was a premium-priced bottle. By the end of the dinner, we were shocked to receive a bill of $609. When I questioned the price, the staff did not take any responsibility or show any willingness to address the issue. I find it unacceptable that such an expensive item could be offered without proper communication or confirmation, especially in a setting where visibility is so poor. This kind of oversight shows a lack of attention and customer care. It ruined what was supposed to be an enjoyable evening. I do not recommend this place to anyone looking for transparency or good service. Be very careful when ordering here – especially with their wine list.

    Date night to a fancy place, the food gave us both stomach aches. I guess it was too rich. The ambience is great, the Lexus dealership that The restaurant sits on top of is a great attraction. If a tasty meal is what you're looking for, go somewhere else.
