Vintana Wine Dine - Oceanside-Escondido

Had a wonderful experience here for my anniversary celebration, had moments where i wanted to order more but service was slow, other than that the workers were really nice and id definitely give this place another shot soon!

The food was not great. We were here July 5th of ‘24 ..The Ahi tuna appetizer had a fishy taste and texture was rubbery in some parts. The braised short rib was very dry and hard. My husband had the ribeye and it was mediocre. Overall not impressed by the food. Without ordering they brought to the table kids fruit and at the end a sundae, we said “what's this”? And they replied “oh it comes with the kids meal” but it really didn't come with the meal because we got billed for each fruit and sundae. I have extremely picky kids so they didn't like their selection of fruit and ice cream. If they were going to charge for it they could have asked what flavor ice cream or which fruit the kids wanted. Our server was very nice. Unfortunately food was not great.

The service was impeccable. I'll wait her Daniel and Justin could not have done a better job. The ambiance was pretty cool also. The food was just average. Maybe it was just the dishes that we ordered. However, my fiance got sick at the end of the night. We're not sure if it was the drinks or the food, but it ruined and otherwise pretty great night

The pork chop was good, but it seems to have declined and was somewhat uneventful, as Vintana was the only place my girlfriend would eat pork chops. The 18-ounce steak was not 18 ounces, more like a thin 14. The portions of garlic mashed potatoes were scant, and I remember more generous servings. The vegetables were few at best. I left feeling the $230+ I paid for the dinner of two could have been better spent.

As I have to be wheat free I have to be careful so was delighted to see g/f options which on the whole are wheat free(I know not always but I can cope). However once you get to dessert apparently that goes out the window. No options????? Why???? And don't do fresh fruit salad or ice cream(neither were there by the way) as I can do that at home. Please put something on I can eat. Flourless chocolate even I'm not that fussy honest.
