    As always Vintana never disappoints, my took his girlfriend for he sweet 15. Quinceañera. The staff was awesome gave them privacy, a table near the window and make my son’s girlfriend feel like a princess on her special day. The food as always 5 star old And new recipes very well balanced. Japanese lager cold and on point . Steak and seafood along with our favorite Vintana signature salad and Debbie’s Brie sesame crusted cheese are a staple. Love ❤️ Vintana. We keep coming back..

    The name of this restaurant includes the words “fine dining”, and that is exactly what mom and I experienced. Our booth was at one end of the restaurant with one heck of a view through the wall of windows facing the I-15 and the hills in the distance. When we ordered the Fish & Chips as well as the Avocado BLT (minus the avocado), we did not realize just how much food was coming to our table! The Fish & Chips had four very large pieces instead of the standard two you get anywhere else. There was more fish than batter, which happens nowhere else. We have ordered this particular menu item from numerous other restaurants over the years, including Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco— and nobody has ever made it this darn good! Nobody!! The fish was so thick, you feel like a VIP when you sink your teeth into absolute perfection. The BLT didn’t get eaten in the restaurant. We had to have them give us boxes to take that home due to the fish being so filling. If you look at the photos I’m including, you’ll see two pieces of fish on the plate because mom and I split it. We got full quickly after some fries and one piece of fish each. We put the leftovers in the air fryer to keep the batter crispy, whereas a microwave would soften it and reduce the texture to less than delicious. That BLT is for the next day. You really get a lot of food on your plate! They are not chimsy with the portions. I honestly believe this meal is the go to lunch and I will definitely bring mom back here for lunch. The first impression really matters, and I can say that the customer service was a definite 10 on that 1-10 scale. Everyone was so friendly, and I asked to speak to the general manager so I could tell him how satisfied we were. Robert came to our table and he was truly a wonderful person. He welcomed us to ask for him again when we return. And yes Chef Deb, we will return! Thank you.

    It took 12 minutes to get seated for a reservation. The hostess seemed preoccupied or overwhelmed. Our server Kevin was exceptional. Been her quite a few times, but it's been awhile and the quality of your food has gone down hill. Very disappointed, and probably won't be returning

    Vintana is one of our favorites. The calamari appetizer is probably the best preparation I’ve ever had. I ALWAYS order it and it’s large enough to share. We both had the fish and chips for lunch and the fish was so tender and flaky. The fries had Old Bay Seasoning lightly added to them and they were delicious. Our server Ciara is THE BEST! I was there recently twice with friends and this third time with my husband and she was my server all 3 times. She’s cheerful, knowledgeable and attentive and really makes you feel welcome. The ambience is beautiful and comfortable. Will continue to go back often.

    Unusual location as it’s at the top of the Lexus dealer, but everything was top-notch. Loved it and we consider coming back again

    We went here for a birthday celebration and it was great. The braised short rib is amazing and the mud pie was ridiculously good. It could have fed 4 people, easily.

    Piped music was a bit too loud, but otherwise a very pleasant experience. Food was great, and Nick, our server, was terrific.

    We went to celebrate my third win for the Senior Golf Championship. My husband shared the news with the hostess. When waitress Ireland came over and said I heard we’re celebrating your third win. That was absolutely wonderful to be acknowledged. We ordered oysters very fresh. We had a beautiful bottle of wine quilt. Then we shared the Caesar salad and the braised short rib, which was absolutely delicious. Ireland was so attentive as well as the others. Always reminded that Vintana is the place to go to.
