12oz Angus New York add Shrimp
Annie D.

Beautiful restaurant at the top of the Lexus Dealer in Escondido. American fine dining vibe with white table linens and napkin rings. Cocktails were decent. They sounded good on the menu but a tad disappointing on first sip. Appreciate the kids menu. Complimentary popover was a nice surprise. Short rib was tender but dry. Husband ordered the New York steak medium rare and it arrived medium well. Fortunately a server came to check on us right after the entrees were served and they fixed it right away. Lobster Mac n cheese was too rich with the bacon. I think it would've been better without the bacon. We also got the blue cheese on the side. Mud pie was good but was pretty frozen making it hard to eat. Complimentary butter cake for the birthday girl was an added bonus. Butter cake was delicious. We came here bc we had the Chase credit but also it was close to birthday girls house. Short and sweet summary: Don't order the steak. Prices are pretty steep and food fell short of expectations. Service is top notch. Would probably come again but only for HH and the butter cake

I've been here years before and my boyfriend recently took me here. The place is elegant and service was top notch. They sat us at one of the semi circle booths, and even had rose petals on the table. Ambiance is 10/10. Our server was Ireland and she was the best. Pacing was on point with the wine, appetizer, main course, and dessert. Great vibes and knowledgable on the food, when we had questions. Service was also a 10/10. The bread with their special butter was a great starter 8/10. The ceviche is probably the best I've ever had. I recommend eating the pepper that it's in, especially if you like spice... 11/10. We also had the cioppino and salmon, which were both delicious 9/10. This place is a must, if you're in North county. Oh and did I forget to mention that it's right above a Lexus dealership, which is pretty cool and unique. Overall a great place for a date or if celebrating something special.

We have been to Vintana many times. Tonight I'm finally writing a review. Tonight was a very nice dining experience. It's been a while since we have been here. There are many updates that add to the ambiance. The main dining area is as nice as I remember it with an upscale feel. Walking to the main dining area is a long dining table and a display of their bottles of wine. Tonight Daou wines were on display. The food: Husband is very picky about what he eats and I am happy to say he loved his swordfish entree. I took a taste and it was delicious! The complimentary bread reminds me of Yorkshire pudding bread. Our appetizer was chicken potstickers on top of ramen like noodles and dressed in a Thai chili soy broth--delicious! I didn't really have an appetite, so I went with the Romain Cesar salad (my go to when it comes to salads). New to me is the outdoor patio where there were several tables of diners. This is where they have happy hour every day. The sign says Vin-Tiki lounge, where they have live music. Sounds like a fun time! I think the Lexus dealership has really upped their game with Vintana. Our server was Ireland, a catchy name that I remembered! Very good service too!

This review is for the happy hour menu. We could've ordered almost everything if we didn't have any restraint, but also this was our first time in the restaurant. Parking was easy; dining was outside with lots of shade. The service was great; everyone was so friendly. We didn't wait long for our food or drinks. They even split the salad for us individually. The portions were generous than what we expected for a happy hour menu so it was a really GOOD deal. We ordered the lobster bisque, mussels with a red curry sauce, farmers market green salad, and ceviche. They were all so delicious! All the flavors were present as stated in the menu but were balanced and subtle which we loved. Our favorites were the bisque and the mussels. The lobster bisque was delicate and creamy with a hint of lobster. The ceviche was a tad bit too tart but we still enjoyed it with the fried chips. For happy hour, I highly recommend this place. It's so underrated. Easy parking, excellent service, and some really delicious food in town.

This was my first time dining here & it was for a birthday celebration, it was very pretty inside and the service was great. Our waiter was very helpful with the menu & drink menu, I ordered a Cesar salad & the filet mignon plate and we also tried the lobster Mac and cheese. The the plate we got was the rib eye with mashed potatoes. Everything was very tasteful and temperatures were perfect the filet was cooked perfectly but the rib eye was a bit weird with the texture not too sure why but overall we had a lovely time. The dessert that came out for the birthday celebration was a blueberry crumb cake with chocolate which is a weird combo not that good but we did try the mud pie and that was a giant slice of coffee ice cream with chocolate it was good.

This restaurants is a very elegant space with excellent service and the food you can tell made by a chef who understands flavors using quality ingredients. Due to each plate being made fresh don't expect your dining experience to be as quick as other restaurants which may be a turn off for some people.

I've been here quite a few times for work happy hours, holiday dinner, anniversary dinner and lunch happy hour every time I'm blown away by the meals and I have always loved the space no matter where I am seated! Food is top notch I love the ahi tuna stack and the Korean chicken wings.

Vintana Wine + Dine is known as the "modern elegance" in North County. I've always been curious about this dining destination and was excited to find out it was on the San Diego Restaurant Week list. I was ready to wine-n-dine! My GPS took me to a Lexus dealership but I saw the signage for the restaurant which reassured me I was at the correct location. The drive into the dealership was a little odd, but the good signage directed me to the parking in front of the restaurant. Suprisingly, it's located on the upper level of the stylish building. The first impression really matters to me so when the hostess at the reception area warmly welcomed me, I felt right at home. I didn't have to wait too long to be escorted to my table. As I walked through the restaurant, I was impressed by the beautiful decor and the romantic atmosphere. During my dinner, the servers were attentive and knowledgeable. Kevin, my waiter, had some good suggestions for the SDRW menu. The service from all of them was consistent like a well-oiled machine. My entree was exquisitely delicious...love anything braised and really loved the crunchiness of the vegetables but when it came to the dessert I was hoping it would be on the warm side. I spoke to the Manager and he confirmed the temp. Okay...I'll try a cold apple pie for the first time. All in all, this was an unforgettable experience.

Crispy potato pave

You drive to the top of the building with parking in the back just drive to the right and follow the signs to go up. It's a blessing they don't charge for parking. The ambiance is top notch with a view from the roof over looking Escondido. It's perfect for a special occasion. The service was pretty spot on. We were there for a celebration and wondered why we haven't been here since before Covid. Probably similar to the other reviews about the steaks. I had the ribeye and just expected something more tastier for $65. My wife said the pork chops were good. I agreed the crevice was very good from another review. The crispy potato pave was nothing to write home about. Ironically my wife said it tasted better the next day. I want to come back for happy hour as it seemed pretty full for a Wednesday.

Mussels
Ashley N.

Celebrating a special occasion! One of my favorite Hour happy places to go. Big portions at a great price. Our waiter RJ and his team were superb and friendly. The plates we ordered were delicious. Most favorite dish was the Brie, mussels, and salad. Least favorite was the sweet noodles on the chicken skewers plate. The outside patio seating was nice but quite limited. A great and inexpensive place to go for nice gatherings. I would give them 5+ stars for great customer service. Would always visit again for happy hour

Risotto
Amy B.

Love this location, just such a surprising spot for a nice restaurant. Have come for Happy Hour on the patio in the past, what a beautiful backdrop. This last time my husband and I split a chef's meal for two with a whole Branzino two ways, a side salad with yellow squash and risotto. Although the fish tasted good, there were so many bones you could hardly take a bite. The squash salad was weird, several people at my table tried it and didn't like it. The risotto was fabulous. The portions are great and the prices are on par with other locations. Will definitely be back, one disappointing meal doesn't account for a whole experience. Everyone else loved their meals.

Lucy M.

The food and service was GREAT! The bread and butter, really soft and delicious. My steak was perfect. The butter cake was so good too! The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars is because of how we were seated. Some of us had to basically crawl over the chairs to get to our seat. And to go to the bathroom, like 3 of us had to get up and move and again basically crawl over the chairs. Wasn't even worth going back to their seats so they stayed standing up. Not good seating!

B D.

First off not quite what you think when you pull up, its on the top floor of a dealership.... but then you walk in into a different world of great views, smiling faces and amazing food. The views of the city are spectacular, the overall vibe was nice, lively and entertaining. The server was great, walked us through the menu selections of the tasting menu and was very attentive. The food was beyond words, showed up for a Phillipino Ausie beef tasting and it did not disappoint, from the pan de sal to the shaved ice dessert this tasting did not disappoint. The lamb was by far my favorite served with a rich sauce full of depness and everything was well paired with their specialty cocktails. Can't wait to go back and try out their regular menu.

My wife and I split a couple dishes. She ordered the bbq chicken salad which had lots of chicken, but I felt the chicken was a little over cooked. The garlic toast with it was tasty. We also got the prime rib, that was good. The salt and pepper on the outside was seasoned well. We also got the tri tip appetizer which I think was delish. Overall I recommend giving this place a try.

We also ordered the gluten-free focaccia because my sister is gluten intolerant, and it was seriously good. I could barely believe it was gluten-free. It came with olive oil and balsamic for dipping--the olive oil was perfectly good, though nothing especially memorable. The bread was the star. I got the Sofia pizza with ham, artichokes, and mushrooms, and loved it. After trying plenty of pizza on a recent trip to Europe, this was one of the closest experiences I've had in the U.S. to that style. The toppings tasted fresh, and the pizza was delicious. The very center was thin and a little floppy, so picking up slices was tricky, but a knife and fork solved that easily. The servers were attentive and kept our water bottle refilled, which we really appreciated during the October heat wave. Going early, around 5:30, also meant it wasn't too busy yet. One practical heads-up: parking took us about 6-10 minutes of circling, partly because we wanted a close spot for my older mom. By the time we left around 7, the area was getting packed, so I'd allow extra time if you're coming during the dinner rush. Overall, excellent food, great gluten-free options, and thoughtful service. Five stars--I'd happily come back.

The first thing I want to mention is the last thing that I experienced. ALWAYS GET YOUR RECEIPT…read moreBEFORE PAYING. Before I get to all the good and there was a lot of good, let me explain that I asked for a written receipt before I paid to take a look at it, and I was told I'd have to wait until after I paid. After I paid, I noticed they charge for a game that was on the table. It was $2.99. I remember it flashing at the bottom as I was choosing golf just to see what it was like, but I have a feeling that the touch or your curiosity locks you in. So if you have kids that reach for the game and press the button to open the games, you may never know you paid for that game set because they don't give you a written receipt. So, that being said, be wary of the fact that you don't get to read any of the charges before you pay and that's not the way it should be done. So let's go back. Went there for their 14.99 deal, which is seven days a week. We ordered, my wife and I, the hamburger with a Caesar salad, french fries and cheese cheesecake comes at the end. And then we also ordered the coconut shrimp which came with rice. And a blue cheese and sugar walnuts salad , for this fancy salad there was a 3.99 charge. that also came with cheesecake. The hamburger was just fantastic and cooked to perfection. I'm kind of a hamburger snob so I was thrilled. The coconut shrimp was fantastic. And came with a glazed marmalade that you dip in, but it really didn't need it. You could eat it either way, and it came with bread. I asked for the salad to be served with the entrée, but by the time the entrée got there and we were enjoying it so much it wasn't until about five or 10 minutes after that the salad showed up and we had totally forgotten about the salads and the salads were delicious. And they have a special deal and I really should've taken a picture of it but while you're there ordering a full entrée as we did, you could also order food to go for $10. Or $10 plus an extra three if it's really special so if you go for the chicken or shrimp, I think it's a straight $10 and we went for the salmon so it was three dollars extra and it came with fettuccine Alfredo and there were other choices that I don't remember, I apologize. And those choices came with four sauces that you could choose. So salads were great. Coconut shrimp, fantastic. My wife ordered rice with the coconut shrimp which had some garlic in it which she just loved and I ordered the hamburger with the french fries, I think the french fries could've been cooked a little more but they were hot so I don't complain unless food is cold. Or I have an additional charge that I don't agree with and I was never given a receipt and then after I paid and asked to talk to my server, I waited for five minutes and then I just left because it was just a moot point. As an aside, I had $20 gift card so my meal was $58 and I didn't get a refund or a gift card of two dollars so they just kept that two dollars and they got an extra 2.99 for a game that sits on the table and Beckins you especially if you're a child or an adult child like myself. Anyway, I hope this helps. Jenifer was fantastic except for not being able to reach her to fight the 299 charge not that I was going to have it removed. I just wanted to let her know how unfair it is that you don't know that you're agreeing to it. Once you press the screen you're already charged and if you got kids that do it and you don't get to see the receipt you're paying for it whether you know it or not and the odds are you don't know it.

Food & Drinks: I am on keto so I ordered grilled shrimp and steak snd upgraded my side to…read morebroccoliand cheese & salad. The steak was overcooked but it was OK. I ordered a ranch water with Tejin. My husband ordered a smoky old fashioned and with dinner a Burger with a side salad and a beer. Service: Excellent, we were a group of 10 in a private room on Sat., June 6th around 5:30 and the server was on point. Ambiance : Casual Noteworthy: The server, young, dark haired guy was really accommodating in stacking our orders because half of our group came about 1/2 hour later, it all worked out pretty smoothly. He was exceptional in his service. $120 with tax & tip
