It’s my wife and I second time at the Vintage tavern and it didn’t disappoint. We really like the cabin vibe. The food is fantastic with so many unique dishes. I opted for the lamb chops special. My wife and daughter had the duck and her boyfriend had the beef tenderloin. All were very tasty and perfectly cooked. We opened with the pimento cheese and I had an old fashioned that was excellent. We will definitely be back again.

My reservation was mixed up, reserved upstairs, but they were about to sit us downstairs, I had to show my reservation confirmation. I wasn't pleased. Ordered the Market Price fish, Mahi Mahi blackened and the fish was quite dry. Couldn't finish it. The bar drink was incredibly weak. The wait staff was wonderful. Although my husband enjoy his Bison ribeye. This was an anniversary dinner, I wasn't satisfied. Had been there previously and had high hopes.

The food and service was wonderful! Our server, Liz was very attentive and personable! My wife and I sat upstairs. The temperature of the room was very cool. I chose the duck breast and my wife chose the flounder.

The special fish was wahoo. Fish was dry with overly spicy and dry rice and a little bit of a ginger/soy sauce.

Service was outstanding, our wait staff Elizabeth whom we had on our first experience was awesomely incredible. The food was amazing, wine outstanding. However, the ambiance was not good due to a large drunk group who ended up being loud and obnoxious which made alot of us in the upstairs dining room a little less than satisfied.
