Filet mignon and salmon were both good. Server was pleasant but seemed a bit distracted. A bit too expensive for food and service received tonight. I've been to Vintana about a dozen times in the past and they normally do better. Will continue to go.

We had a really great meal chosen from a holiday menu. While the drinks may be expensive, the food is and ambiance definitely worth the money.

I have been coming for at least 10 years for Christmas. When I made my reservation I specifically said that there would be 4 adults and one child. So we needed a table for 5. When I arrived they brought us to a table for four. When I said that this was incorrect the hostess was inconsiderate and said well you booked only four. I did not. They just squeezed in a 5th chair at the end of our table. I will definitely look for a new place to have our family Christmas dinner next year. So sad. This used to be my favorite place. Now it’s lost its charm.

The Christmas fixed price menu is good with the exception of the dessert. The Manhattan Clam Chowder was delicious as was the filet minion and sides. The Tiramisu did not live up to the restaurant’s quality. It was at the Denny’s level of quality. Also, a glass of tea is priced in addition to the pricey meal. Cheesy to add for the tea.

What an amazing Christmas dinner at Vintana Wine and Dine. The hostess was welcoming upon arrival and accommodated my request for a window table. The ambiance was inviting, pleasant and full of Christmas cheer. Savanah came by our table and introduced herself and provided water while wishing us a Merry Christmas. Next we had Chase our phenomenal server who was kind, personable and provided top shelf customer service. We started with two tequilla drinks crafted with lime, pelligrino and mint. The drinks were fabulous. Joshua brought out some sourdough bread and also stopped by through the experience providing excellent service. Our first course arrived with my wife having the beet salad which was exquisite and I had the beyond kabobs which were simply fantastic. After the first course our main entrees arrived and wow the preparation and presentation were stellar. Joshua brought both dishes out and they were beyond amazing. My wife had the Chilean seabass entree and I had the short rib entree. Top Shelf and extremely tasty. The food was so good and epic. What a Christmas blessing. Emma brought out our dessert and she was fantastic as well. My wife had the Tiramasu and I had the pecan cheesecake. Both were beyibd words yummy. Chase also brought out a nice hot cup of coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and meal experience at Vintana Wine & Dine and highly recommend this fine dining establishment.
