    You cannot beat the Vintage Chophouse. Exceptional food, service, ambience. Love the lounge atmosphere. 14 oz Rib eye best around. My wife had the 8oz tenderloin Oscar, says it’s the best she’s ever had. Great wine recommendations by our server. Top notch. One of my favourite places for years.

    This restaurant was recommended to me by my son and it was a wonderful experience. The ambience was lovely and the service excellent. The steaks were done perfectly and our salmon was delicious. The only thing that would have been better, is to include a vegetable with the dinner and not have to buy on the side. We will be going return!

    Very pleasant business lunch. Room had perfect ambience with the ability to connect and discuss important matters with our client. Service from Nick was spot on, informative, formal but still warm and charismatic. He was there when we needed him and offered appropriate space when we didn't. His timing for drinks/orders etc. was perfection. Would not hesitate to book another business lunch here or romantic dinner date for that matter.
