    What an amazing Christmas dinner at Vintana Wine and Dine. The hostess was welcoming upon arrival and accommodated my request for a window table. The ambiance was inviting, pleasant and full of Christmas cheer. Savanah came by our table and introduced herself and provided water while wishing us a Merry Christmas. Next we had Chase our phenomenal server who was kind, personable and provided top shelf customer service. We started with two tequilla drinks crafted with lime, pelligrino and mint. The drinks were fabulous. Joshua brought out some sourdough bread and also stopped by through the experience providing excellent service. Our first course arrived with my wife having the beet salad which was exquisite and I had the beyond kabobs which were simply fantastic. After the first course our main entrees arrived and wow the preparation and presentation were stellar. Joshua brought both dishes out and they were beyond amazing. My wife had the Chilean seabass entree and I had the short rib entree. Top Shelf and extremely tasty. The food was so good and epic. What a Christmas blessing. Emma brought out our dessert and she was fantastic as well. My wife had the Tiramasu and I had the pecan cheesecake. Both were beyibd words yummy. Chase also brought out a nice hot cup of coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and meal experience at Vintana Wine & Dine and highly recommend this fine dining establishment.

    Very lovely ambiance and service. Food was excellent. The meat in the beef Wellingtion was truly exceptional. The squash soup, bland and boring, was the only disappointment. For the prix fixe dinner of $130 on Christmas Eve, some bread should have been offered, I think. We are looking forward to another meal there in the future.

    Our server, Brook, is one of the best I’ve ever seen. She was friendly, efficient and attentive. The table beside us were a bit much but she rose above their poor behavior and cheerfully accommodated them. The food was excellent. Good beer & cocktails. Beautiful outdoor seating with plenty of heat lamps.

    I’ve been dining at Bellamy’s for years now, but I love the current menu! The short rib, cioppino, and the sea bass were absolutely delicious. Staff is always very polite and inviting. Would recommend their restaurant to anyone who loves good food!
