Service was slow. Server kept forgetting the limes on a drink. The BBQ ribs were dry. A glass of wine was expensive. Probably won’t go back.

Vintage Tavern is a nice restaurant. The ambiance is good for celebrating a special occasion. The dinner selections seem to be limited to around 6 or so main courses. The portions of the main course (meat) are a decent size, most of the sides are pathetically small (there more for looks than eating). those in our party that had steak had some green beans as an included side (about 6 green beans) , my sides (with fish) included about 4 roasted Brussel sprouts that were more like cinders than roasted. The steaks, chop, and fish that we ordered were decent portions and cooked well, tasty as well. The service was great, our waiter worked with us to tailor our meals to combinations that worked better for us. The complimentary champagne was a nice touch to celebrate our anniversaries. That all being said, I think the prices are too high for the meals.

Loved the ambience in the bar area, nothing better than a great meal in a slightly upscale casual setting. The service was exquisite. The Tavern Tini is a must try!

My Wife and her friend had a wonderful time!! The only challenge they had at the Ladies day brunch was they had to go down stairs for everything. Up and down the stairs with drinks and food while holding on the railing was challenging. But overall it was a great experience!!
