| - I have been to Vintage 95 probably 8-10 times now & normally it could be a 4 star place. It's typically great for what it is, a local restaurant in the AZ suburbs, that don't always offer non-chain restaurant options. We went to restaurant week last night & didn't care for it. The restaurant was almost empty, but the service was super slow. We were asked to take our silverware off the plates being cleared to use them again; which is fine, but also a weird request of the customers in any typical medium-high-end restaurant. We were sitting outside & a kitten/it's "patio cat" mom were climbing all over the tables. I mentioned that sadly, I'm super allergic to cats so I didn't want my silverware on the table that we assume previously had cats walking on it. We all balanced the used silverware on top of our water glasses. Which throughout the evening someone was always sitting with an empty water glass for 5-10 minutes. The menu was average & too large of portions for restaurant week, my mid rare steak came out wrong twice; first blue rare, then rare, but at least I could take it home & finish cooking it there correctly. The cocktails were good, it was a lovely evening weather wise, and the staff was kind. We will be back, I just don't suggest it for restaurant week or if you have kitty allergies. Side note, the kitten was precious & we were told it needs a home.
