Vintana Wine & Dine - Escondido

Great menu, great atmosphere and great service! Highly recommend you giving Vintana a try. After finishing our popover with honey jalapeño (i think) butter and the large enough wedge salad to split, I barely had enough room for my entree! I’m definitely a fan

We had a wonderful meal. We ordered short rib and tuna entree. Lobster bisque was fabulous. Our server was attentive and kind. They brought out an nice dessert for my friends birthday.

Service was great, and we loved the atmosphere. There were a few food highlights, but overall, the food was mediocre. The fillet was good, the fries were some of the best we've ever had, and the brie appetizer was exceptional. However, the calamari was drowned under an overly sweet sauce that made it soggy and clump together. The creamed spinach was over spiced with nutmeg you should taste the hint of nutmeg. It shouldn't be the predominant flavor. I tried the Japanese veggie plate which was very disappointing the sweet potato was so over fried i couldn't bite into it, the tempura veggies were soggy under the curry sauce and the ponzu cabbage turned out to be a slaw. I'd avoid this dish altogether. For a high end restaurant, Vintana provides a mixed experience. On the one hand, they have the service, atmosphere, and pricing of a great restaurant. Now, if they offered consistently great food, it would be worth it. But there are so many choices if you're looking for a great restaurant. Unfortunately, Vintana isn't one of them.

Overall great service and food! James did an exceptional job!

Wish we had asked for table not so close to service area with nicer view.
