Vintana Wine + Dine

We’ve been following renowned executive chef Deborah Scott for years, so we knew our bellies were in the right place. However, the service we received from Issac and Emma was absolutely impeccable. This team of servers went above and beyond, were attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and made for an evening we will never forget. The cocktails, popovers, and sampling of the steak tartare set the tone right away. Next up was the light and crunchy kung pao calamari, shishito peppers with pork belly, and the crusted brie with crostini. Do not pass on these appetizers, you will not be disappointed. Everyone enjoyed their entrées, but the showstopper was the unbelievably creative and delectable desserts. Ohhh myyy gosh, the ube cheesecake and mud pie are to die for, but the warm butter cake is w

Beautiful space, beautiful food, excellent service - you may not expect fine dining in Escondido, much less an auto dealership, but this is a destination, dining experience. My sister brought me here for my last day of my visit, and she kept raving about the popovers. She was right, they were an excellent bread course - crispy exterior with an airy, buttery interior. She also insisted we get the pepita and sesame crusted Brie - I liked it better with the popover rather than the garlic crostini. We both selected fish courses: she got the Macadamia & Coconut Crusted Sea Bass, and I chose the Everything Crusted Ahi Tuna. There was so much going on the plates, but all the elements balanced each other out perfectly. Portions were huge, so we only ate half in order to be able to try the Ube C

We went there last Saturday for my daughter’s 3 year old birthday and the experience was fantastic! We sat at table 48 and it was perfect for us since our toddler could get a little grumpy in a restaurant, we didn’t want to bother other customers. The food was amazing, the portions were bigger than we expected so we ended up packing a lot of food home. And our server Nick (or Nicolas) was very very nice! The manager Robert was very nice too. It was our first time visiting Vintana and we are pretty sure we will visit again in the future :) Ps: we thought we might get a small tiny treat since we noted “birthday celebration” when we made a reservation, but we didn’t get anything 😆😆😆 but it’s okay, we still had a good time. Thank you!

This modern American fusion spot in Escondido features clean, stylish facilities and a tightly run floor team. The service is consistent and professional - a well-oiled machine. The Food 🦪 The Standout: The Black Mussels were the highlight. Plump and fresh, served in a flavorful coconut curry sauce (slightly spicy and salty) with grilled toast points. 🍗 Korean Chicken Wings: Hot, crispy skin with tender meat, coated in a sticky sweet/spicy glaze. 🥟 Chicken Gyoza: Nicely steamed with soft wrappers. Uniquely presented on a bed of cold noodles with a black sesame/herb crust and fresh veggies. 🌶️ Shishito Peppers: A mix of slightly spicy and sweet flavors, served with a healthy portion of crisp pork belly chunks. 🍔 Bacon Burger: The half-pound patty and hearty bacon slices were impressive

The seafood platter was great, but the steak left a lot to be desired. We had the oyster Rockefeller and scallops appetizers. Three pieces each. They were good
