I am not sure if we just really had a bad experience or if other reviewers are totally crazy.
After reading all the great reviews about Vintage 95 we (myself, the hubby and two other couples) decided to venture here.
Things we did like:
The patio is super cute and quaint. We had some great weather and our server Eric was fantastic. Plus they had one of my favorite wines-Dr. Loosen Reisling.
Now on to the bad.
We tried the bruschetta which according to many reviews was top notch. We only tried the goat cheese and bacon jam (out of curosity) and the mozzarella with grape tomatoes. Eric really talked up the bacon jam making it seem like it would be the most amazing thing I've ever tasted. It was the complete opposite. It was very underwhelming and loaded with salt.
I had the ahi tuna dish which was pretty good but again-loaded with salt. I felt so dehydrated the next day from all the salt I had!
My hubby ordered a burger which came over cooked. He returned it to the kitchen and they corrected it.
But this is the really bad.
3 of our friends ordered the stuffed poblano. It sounded like it would be delish. One of my friends said that hers was cold inside. Like flat out cold. Gross. Then her hubby and our other friend that ordered it said the same thing. We informed Eric who returned them to the kitchen. The manager came out to offer his apology and informed them that it would be 5-6 minutes for them to return. 15 minutes later they did. The EXACT same dishes, not reheated but simply piled with new sauce AND when they brought them back to the table they had no idea who's plate was who's. The gal that brought them back just set them down like they were brand new dishes-totally ignoring the fact that one of them had been cut into pieces! SO TACKY.
Needless to say everyone was totally disgusted at that point. We once again told Eric and he was more then apologetic. I felt really bad for him actually. And once again we received a visit from the manager. He whisked the dishes away and promptly took an order for some salads for them. Which they actually liked.
I really tried to give this place 2 stars. I mean in the end the service we received was exceptional. The manager was more then gracious about the situation and rectified the problem, I just can't do it though.
We will not be back.
Ok so after I posted my original review I received the absolute most sincere email from the manager Gavin. Because of this email I changed my review to two stars and all of us that attended the other night said we would be willing to give it another shot (maybe not order food) because of his email. Plus they did have a great atmosphere on the patio and a great wine list :) I have had bad experiences before and have voiced my opinion but I have never had a manager take the time to review my posted comments and contact me. So you know never know...maybe we will be back and fingers-crossed our experience will be much better.
