We were very happy with our dining experience. Prawns , pork chop and a beet salad. All dishes consistent with a nice level of prep and flavor. Courteous staff and comfortable dining. Cheers

The brunch menu was varied enough to satisfy all dining choices. Brunch or lunch variations. You were able to order off the menu on Mothers Day which isn't always the case. Service was attentive, and was able to sit at the table my choice. Quality of food was excellent in all three orders.

I had the crispy chicken with whipped potatoes & I cleaned my plate, loved it! My wife had the scallops & liked it but said she’d like to try something else next time. Reasonable prices & great service! We’ll be back!👍

We were seated promptly and the staff was friendly and professional. The Crispy Lollipop Kale was quite tasty and surprisingly melted in your mouth. Highly recommended. I can also recommend the handmade pappardelle pasta with short rib. We also ordered a side of Crispy Brussels Sprouts that was also nicely don. Serving sizes for all dishes including sides were substantial and could easily be shared by two people. All in all, a great little restaurant.

Vin Antico has lost a little of its luster. The food was good but not great. The service was quite good and the waiter was quite conscientious and responsive. Overall it didn't quite live up to its past glory

The wines by the glass were healthy pours, the Caesar Salad was extremely bland, entrees were good, but portions were somewhat small. Service was ok due to low staffing, our waitress tried as best she could, no fault to her. Nice setting, reminded me of a Manhattan bistro. Unsure if we will return.
