Vintage

We had dinner at Vintage in Vail and it was a totally great experience from start to finish. The vibe is awesome, the service was excellent, and our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, which always makes a difference. We started with the escargot, which was very good—rich, buttery, and delicious, though I could’ve done without the crouton on top. We also shared the burrata salad with peaches, which was very fresh, light, and perfectly balanced. For entrées, my wife had the filet with the crab cake and absolutely loved it. The French fries that came with it were dangerously addicting—some of the best we’ve had. I ordered the duck, which was served with apples and blackberry, and it was completely different from any duck dish I’ve had before in the best way. Unique, flavorful, and memorable. Overall, a fantastic meal and a spot I’d highly recommend if you’re in Vail.

We had a great meal in this beautiful restaurant. Our server was very friendly and our food was delicious. Great paintings all over the walls. Ambiance was fairly quiet. They did charge to split both our salad and entree but we knew in advance.

We drove into Vail to meet friends at a midway point. A quick search revealed vintage to be one of the highest rated restaurants. I made a reservation for lunch, sitting outside on a spectacular afternoon. Immediately, the staff adjusted the umbrella for the sun, ask us if we wanted heaters on the other side and began the first of many many water refills. The staff continued to be outstanding through the entire outstanding meal. We ordered from the brunch menu, one getting the chicken sandwich, another the decadent French toast, two of us getting the galettes. The feathery puff pastry pulled apart effortlessly filled with the ideal amount of creamy egg and topped with the accompanying onions, spinach, etc. They have an excellent wine and cocktail list as well. This being brunch, we contained ourselves to ice tea. Excellent!

First, the gentleman that greeted us as we arrived was very courteous and attentive. A member of our 4-person group was in a wheel chair. He put us at a table that alllowed easy parking of the wheel chair. The server was equally courteous and attentive. There is a coat check, and while that may not be a big amenity, it served our group well as two ladies wore fur coats. The ambience is spot on for Vail. The food was excellent with two of us enjoying the filet. All-in-all, the Vintage offers a great dining experience.

Classic brunch spot in Vail but we were disappointed. Service was EXTREMELY slow (over an hour to receive our food after ordering) and quality was fine at best, especially considering the price and time we had to wait. The fries were good Probably wouldn’t recommend unless lines elsewhere are too long.

Great food. We love their brunch which only is available select days/hours. I wish they had a nonalcoholic drink menu because they have awesome fresh squeezed orange juice, hot chocolate, mocktails, which are all awesome but require asking. They can accommodate menu changes for example I got the eggs Benedict but swapped the bread out for toasted crescent which was amazing. Probably one of the best crescents in the US, and I am kind of a crescent snob if that’s a thing. We also love the puff pastry and avocado toast. Can’t go wrong with anything you order I am confident. Fancy or casual, up to you. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They take reservations. For the first time since coming here we learned they have complimentary parking only steps from their entrance. It’s impossible to find on your own though. You have to turn in the dead end road that goes in front of their front door, have someone ask the hostess inside to open the garage door for you, and then quickly pull forward and into the garage door on the left before it closes. It’s ONLY for the time you are dining with them so you have to move after your are done eating, which is fine as there isn’t much to explore in this area. But it’s so much better than walking 9 minutes from Vail or Lionshead public parking. And not found on their website anywhere which actually is a miss. So you heard it here first :)

The steak, beef bourguignon, mussels and cocktails were great. I thought the portion sizes were good, I was very full at the end. Our waitress was attentive but did not bother us a lot which I appreciate. The only downside is the price, I think it is overpriced but that is not uncommon at Vail.

Vintage is well-loved for weekend brunch. Many are not aware that they offer an outstanding, authentic French dinner menu. The atmosphere takes you directly to Paris and the food is creative and delicious. No doggy bag for us, only clean plates.
