The Wine Bar at Vintner Valley

My husband and I went for date night. The food was amazing we had the artichoke hearts, tuna, and tortellini. All were exceptionally good! Wishing we had leftovers! Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The watermelon salad was great. Julie, Karen, and Duke were awesome, and I was able to get a Harvey Wallbanger! Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

One of the worst dining experiences I have had. We went to celebrate a once in a lifetime achievement and wanted to splurge on a great night. Someplace that is named “Wine Bar” and has a large selection of wines, some of which are very high end, should know how to serve a Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The owner brought it to us and AFTER it was opened and decanted, said it is a “bit cold”. When I touched the decanter it was so cold that it seemed as if it had been refrigerated. Red wine should not be cold like that. The flavors will not come through and we were spending $145 for this wine. Not wanting to make a big deal, I kept trying to warm the decanter with my hands but it was not working. Our entrees had already come and the wine was not drinkable yet. When we called him over, he downplayed, saying it was just a couple of degrees too cold. This was not true. My husband asked him to help us to solve it. He went from being upbeat and personable to cold and aloof. He brought us another bottle of the same wine a vintage year earlier and asked if this one was ok temperature wise. I said that one was perfect. He decanted and poured in silence. He left and did not come back to check again. Our service for dinner was awful. Our initial cocktails came after our appetizer, and mine was brought then my husband’s a couple of minutes later. All dishes and glasses were left on the table throughout the meal until there were so many we had to stack them on a chair. Water was never refilled. My steak was overcooked and the entrees overall were mediocre. The owner never came back once and he did not make any adjustment to the check to make up for giving us a wine he knew he should not have. Terrible experience. Price per person: $100+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
