I used to frequent Vintage when it first opened. I found the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and level or service they offered. It was a great alternative to the stress and cost of driving into and parking in the city, both for casual nights and special occasions. I was a frequent customer at the bar, and enjoyed my time with the bartenders (Brian, Holly and Tricia were my favorites!). However, I was disheartened to witness the decline in both the menu and service as well as the departure of some of my favorite staff over the years. The increased pricing with smaller portions was also a huge let down. That being said I was more than a little curious and even more tentative to revisit it when it reopened this fall. I'm glad that I did! Though the interior has not changed, the menu and ambience have. I am used to a very high caliber of service so found the waitstaff to be a bit rough around the edges, but was thrilled to see one of my favorite bartenders had returned! I popped in for quick drink and bite to eat. I was excited to see a decrease in drink prices! The menu is less presumptuous, which will fare better for the area. The tuna tartare appetizer was delicious and Tricia remembered my drink without my having to ask! Gone is the valet parking and overwhelming wine list. In it's stead there is a more comprehensive menu with fair prices and staff who make you feel comfortable. I am excited to rekindle my ""relationship"" with Vintage and look forward to returning again!
Pros: Comfortable atmosphere, attentive staff and wonderfully revamped menu!
