| - I was excited to visit Vintage 95 because I've heard of this place before and I was in the area. When we got to downtown chandler, it was a zoo - I had no idea there was an artwalk, but I didn't want that to deter me from eating at this establishment.
So we scored a parking spot relatively quickly - however, the wait to get a table was 45 minutes. I hate waiting.... you had the option to eat appetizers (excluding entrees) at the front patio until a table was ready so we decided on that since I was starving. A perk is that they turned on the heater so we wouldn't freeze to death. Inside the restaurant is very charming, cute, rustic, and romantic. It would be a nice place to take a date, for sure.
Our order: the popular bruschetta board - 1) Pistachio, Date and Marscarpone 2) Salami, Olive Pesto and Feta Mousse 3) Shreiner's Bacon Jam and Whipped Goat Cheese 4) Prosciutto, House Made Ricotta and Fig Honey and the Vintage flatbread - Fennel Goat Cheese, Prosciutto, Onion Jam and Arugula
Just reading these ingredients made my mouth salivate - pesto, proscuitto, ricotta, goat cheese, pistachio, dates...mmmmmm.... right?!
We got our order and I was not impressed at all! The flatbread was underwhelming and the bruschetta was ok - the bread was a little chewy. After about 40 minutes or so, the hostess tells us that a table is ready, but we were already getting full and if the entrees were anything like the last two items we ordered, we decided to not take the chance. So we got our check and checked out the booths at the artwalk.
