Very nice restaurant with excellent food and atmosphere. Staff was great. Didn’t give 5 stars to service because our server disappeared for quite a while and we ran out of time for dessert. Otherwise service was great.

I was very disappointed in my dining experience. The ambience and outdoor patio is exquisite. -I was unaware they only serve appetizers from 3-5pm. -The service/kitchen were very slow (3:30 pm reservation) -The lobster bisque was watery and had no lobster pieces at all -The blackened shrimp lettuce wraps actually had no shrimp in them. I was so looking forward to my experience there but was safely disappointed.

Unfortunately we continue to be disappointed each time we try and visit Vintana. We’ve been going since it opened and the last few visits have been terrible. Last night I ordered the fillet mignon and my husband ordered the lobster bisque. It was delivered quickly so no problem there however I did not have a steak knife and my husband did not have a soup spoon. The food server said she would be right back with silverware. She disappeared and we waited for about 10 minutes before we could get anyone’s attention. Finally a bus girl made eye contact and helped us with silverware. The food was cold and our server ran around us helping other tables and never checked on us until we were done eating. $100 later, we decided it’s our last visit to Vintana. Last time I went they served my lunch but never returned with my mother’s food. Turns out he forgot to put in her order. We’ll drive farther for better service.

We enjoyed the celebration experience we ordered. For an appetizer we had the ahi stack. And it was great. The sauce does have a bit of a kick. If you're sensitive to spicy items you can work around it. For an entree I had the Risotto and added Shrimp. I ate about a quarter of the Risotto, wasn't what I expected. It's kinda sweet which is fine. But everything added into it (peas) just seemed like too much. My fiance had the pork chop and it was excellent. We will go back as we like the atmosphere and stylish setting of the restaurant. Thank you
