Came here for a dinner for a special event. Overall, Vintner Grill has a sophisticated food menu, with great options for a traditional multi-course meal, or more of a sharing and sampling approach to dining if desired. I particularly enjoyed the charcuterie and cheese course, with the variety of options in this area of the menu. Also, the lamb Bolognese pasta course was excellent.
For a restaurant of this caliber, there were some service missteps, such as:
*No bread course was offered to our table, even though it appeared to be standard service to all the tables around us.
*Follow-up was inconsistent from the wait staff, including instances such as: For long periods in the evening, the wait staff disappeared altogether and we had no service for our table. We were offered follow-up service for crostini for our charcuterie and cheese course, which never came. We had cocktails throughout the evening, but our water glasses were empty and not refilled for the duration of the evening.
I like to enjoy dining at a restaurant like this at a comfortable pace, which we were able to do so at Vintner Grill. There was no pressure to turn over the table, which I appreciated. However, service for a fairly simple limited course meal ran about 3 hours, much of this attributed to the disappearance of the wait staff.
All in all, Vintner Grill holds promise if they can address some fundamental service issues.
