Let's start with the positives. +3 This is opening week. We visited the day after the grand opening per the staff. The service was pleasant! The male waiter was super friendly and professional. The Culinarian even came out to check on us. As far as the ambiance. It seats about 44 to 45 people. The decor could improve but some things take time. The food. Oh boy. So. The Steak. -1 I wasn't asked how I would like my steak so that's an issue. I was brought the steak you see and it was dry for me. Not much seasoning at all. The Eggs. -1 The eggs was cooked too long for me. They were rubber and well you can see them. The French Toast. -2 No. No. No. Flavor. None. Lacked sweetness. Lacked fluffiness. Brioche Bread or Texas Toast - heck even French Bread but this .. I could barely finish. And I wasn't handed syrup for it - it was pre-poured on there. What am I, 5? The least they could've done was ask me would I like syrup on the side.. so I had to suffer though the dryness of the bread. Ugh. The Potatoes. +2 Cooked just like I like them. Perfect. Not overly salted. Slight crisp on the outside. Made my day! My partners plate was the Country Fried Steak and he was disgusted. He couldn't even cut it. I have never seen him waste food and he was over his meal in 5 min. -3 He liked his eggs though. They were better than mine so. +1 I believe in this place and it has potential so I will give them an extra point. +1 But they have to get better in that kitchen b/c, what in the world?!. Would I go back ? Probably not. Do I recommend? Mmm. You know what - yes. Maybe you will have a better experience than me.

Breakfast was amazing, very excited to try the rest of the menu.

The Vintage Press is an example of what restaurant can be, when the owner cares enough to put…read moreeffort into what they own. Walk in and be swept away to old Hollywood glamour with white linen table clothes and service personnel that take pride in the way they look and the way they do their jobs. The food is just as manicured, ready to be photographed. AMBIENCE: 5 SERVICE: 5 PRESENTATION: 5 FOOD: 4 PRICE: 4 Why the 4 stars? The food is really good... but you can definitely go through the menu quickly. I understand the concept of having a small menu but I wish the menu was changed occasionally (maybe it is and I don't know it). And the price is a little steep.... Just a little...

For brunch, I ordered the steak and potatoes, and it was sooo good. Everything was cooked really well and had great flavor, definitely felt like a more upscale brunch compared to your typical spots. One of my favorite parts though is the pastries they bring out -- such a nice touch and always super good. I also tried their cappuccino and it was just okay, nothing amazing but not bad either. The service here is always amazing, which honestly makes such a difference. I think the brunch is better than dinner, oops hot take! But everyone is super attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels classy but still comfortable. Definitely a solid spot for a nicer brunch or dinner, I'll for sure keep coming back.

I made plans to come and see my friend and we talked about doing a little Galantines dinner since I…read morelive in a different state so she gave me three different options and I chose here, the menu looked great and the location seemed prime so we made reservations back In February to come on Thursday March 5th, 2026 at 7:30pm. Elderwood is located in the darling hotel in downtown Visalia on the rooftop, it's a small beautiful location with indoor and outdoor seating, we decided to sit outside the weather was nice but there was a bit of a breeze we asked of a heater could be brought closer to us in which it did when we were done with our dinner. My friend and I dressed up nice only to find people wearing sweatshirts sweats, jeans and whatever else they found in their closet next time I know I can just come as I am, but hey we dressed up to feel good and look out best and we did! Our server wasn't very attentive she only had one other table outside and didn't seem to engaged we started by splitting a Caesar salad and ordered a lemon drop martini, we sat and chatted then she took our entree order in which we both ordered the roasted chicken. The food came and it was absolutely delicious incredible flavor the chicken wasn't dry, we continued to catch up the server came by when we half way through our meal to check on us, we did have another drink with our dinner, the lemon drops were fantastic. Overall location was prime food and drinks were excellent and service was mediocre at best but again why do I even have my hopes up for? I need to go in expecting less so when it actually is average at best I won't be disappointed like I am, like I said in this economy if I'm willing to spend my money at least act like to you care to help is that too much to ask?

To start, there was no silver wear at our table and we only got silverware by asking after our…read moreappetizer arrived, we received our napkins just as our meal arrived (our poor server was searching for a while then had to tend to other tables then after the second ask was able to track some down). We got the spicy shrimp appetizer,12 oz New York strip, the lobster with mash potato's and Mac and cheese. Food was okay, price tag was steep for the quality. Especially considering, the "from the grill" section did not come with a side had to be ordered separate and food came out lukewarm but flavor was good (except the mash potato's they were bland). Drinks were good. Additional note: having bathroom lights that are on sensors, don't work well for people in stalls. Having to sit in a dark restroom while using the facilities is not an enjoyable experience. Two stars because the overall vibe is decent and drinks are good. Food is just ok for a luxury price and staff is not set up for success.
