Let's start with good though. The food was mainly delicious, we took Vintage Tapas Plateau and Garlic bread. I like to order restaurants' special plates, because most of the times it gives you an idea of the food in general. Vintage Plateau is pretty big and the price is democratic (€9,95 p/p). Our Plateau consisted of a carpaccio (really decent), bruschetta with pesto, avocado and tomatoes (average good), mini burgers from wagyu beef (fingerpicking!), shrimp croquettes (quite mediocre), filo and goat cheese roll (tasty, but too fat and, funny to say, too cheesy) and marinated salmon (really gentle taste, delicious). The carpaccio, burgers and salmon were my favourite. Warm garlic bread was fragrant and melted on the tongue. Wine cart is rich, but, for my liking, it lacks New World wines a bit. There are lot's of French wines, which in my mind don't really go with tapas, even though Vintage's tapas are not necessarily Spanish style. I really liked the interior and the personnel was friendly (especially the girl waitresses). For the disappointing part I must say that it seems to me that in Vintage they care more about serving and squeezing in as much people as possible, rather than paying attention to the customers and keep them in the restaurant a little longer. We ordered a bottle of wine, which they forgot to bring and only remembered to take our second drink order when we were almost finished with the food. By this time we decided just to follow up with another glass of wine and cancelled the bottle. Well, restaurants's loss.. It's also awfully difficult to find a table, so keep in mind to make a reservation before you come. We didn't do one and we were lucky to be seated after half an hour waiting. Unfortunately we had a table in the back, where it feels too crowded and noisy, as they squeezed 8 tables in what seems 3x3m (or less) space. In the end, I must say that we enjoyed Vintage Tapasbar & Wine, will definitely come again, but more for a quick bite than relaxing dinner out.

Being a special date for my wife and I decided to go to this place. First mistake was not to make reservations, but we thought that being Monday.... anyway, we were told that no tables were available.. so we sat at the bar... although tables were becoming available 10 minutes after our arrival. The waitress with a beautiful smile offered the table, BUT under the condition that if somebody was coming we had to leave the table! No even offering the usual sharing. I found this very annoying, particularly the three tables remained free for more than an hour we stayed there. NO courtesy, nor respect for first come first serve and make of the visit a nice experience. Second the food, ok nice try but these guys have a poor view of what a real pintxo is. Combinations that were odd and difficult.. example mussels with salami...(really??!) but the poorest ranking I can give was the quality of bread... sorry for a Pintxo place bread quality is a must. NICE try, but not enough to make me wish getting back

The ambiance is really cozy and nice and eclectic, definitely not overdone like some Mexican places and they have a great selection of tapas, even for me as a vegetarian! Plus, the cat that lives behind the restaurant drops by every once in a while to keep you company when the restaurant is still quiet early in the evening; adorable! I love it when restaurants here in Utrecht have "house cats". Love the seasonal selections, for me in the summer it's Empanada de Espinacas (Filo stuffed with spinach, pine nuts, soft cheese and raisins) and in winter it's the Tumbet (Spanish egg, potato and vegetable casserole) both are super delish! However, the two dishes I can't live without are the Patatas Bravas with the lovely spicy dip and the Pan (bread with red butter, aïoli and olive tapenade) the red butter is especially amazing. The BF always loves the Champiñones Rellenos (stuffed mushrooms), Costillas (Lamb chops with aïoli) and Pollo El Mundo (marinated chicken legs) and orders at least one of these three every single time and of course also the Pan, everyone loves that! The desserts are all great, try the Banoffi or the Tarta de chocolate y nueces, big recommendation on those two! Now, with my love for the ambiance and food you're probably wondering, why not five stars? Well, that's the staffs fault. The olive tapenade can be a bit inconsistent in taste, the Pincho de Pollo is the tiniest portion of Chicken skewers in the world and the servers tend to have a bit of an "we're better than you and would rather talk to each other" attitude about them, they don't really act on it and stay polite, but a few smiles coming towards the customers instead of each other would be greatly appreciated! Overall a great restaurant and I wish they would deliver to my house!

We were definitely in a neighborhood spot for locals but they didn't seem to mind that we were tourists from America. The menu was printed in English but it had familiar items from tapas restaurants in the US. The tapas prices were reasonable for the quality of food but I wish there was a bit more on each plate as we ended up ordering doubles of some plates because we just needed a few more bites. I felt like we ordered most of the menu because either everything looked delicious or it tasted delicious.

We enjoyed our meal and I would definitely return here again to enjoy some other wonderful menu items.

Tips for ordering: The "rib eye pork" pieces were super rare. Eat at your own risk. Don't order paella unless you have 2 hours to eat dinner. The paella took 1 hour and 30 minutes to come out!! When we ordered, the female server said the paella takes 20 minutes.
