Vintners Bar & Grill

The food was decent and server was not friendly. Almost like he didn't want to be bothered. I asked for no ice in my water, he poured me a cup full of ice water at the tableside. The restaurant was empty but he walked swiftly past without checking on us. The breading was falling of the fish and lightly seasoned.

I enjoyed coming to this restaurant. I flew into Santa Maria and they have a nice place to tie down your plane outside. While the downsides are that the restaurant is maybe a little run down or sparsely decorated, and it took a while to get seated, the food was excellent and the wait staff was so friendly. They had a great deal on Foxen wine which we gladly took advantage of. I got the queen’s cut prime rib and my spouse got the Nashville hit chicken. Both were great! I know that <4 stars is usually suspect, but I really enjoyed my time here. Please don’t hesitate to try especially if you are a traveler at the hotel and need to take it easy.

Just gave this star ratings, but I wanted to come back to it. Read some lukewarm reviews going 4 to 9 months back. Sorry it wasn't super at that time. I had great service and a great meal that was well prepared and came out of the kitchen in a reasonable time frame. My guess is people rotate in and out of these jobs from time to time, and you have hits and misses. I had the salmon with roasted potatoes and French cut green beans. The salmon portion was bigger than I expected and cooked perfectly. Also had a nice presentation.

It was Valentine's Day. I had booked a window seat for 6 pm for my wife and I, 7 days in advance. When we arrived, we were seated at a reserved table by the window. A waiter came by and gave us menus and 2 glasses of water. He told us he was not the waiter and there was not enough staff at the moment to accommodate everyone. Customers were coming in. We sat there for 25 minutes and still no waiter came by to give us drinks, or take our order. We drank our water. A couple came in and were seated behind us. They immediately had a waiter, who took their drink orders and their menu orders. We got up to leave and told one of the managers what had occurred. He said they could do nothing about it because they had overbooked. Really? Valentine's Day? No flowers on the table? No service? $70

We came for dinner at 8:30 ish, saw that they closed at 10:00 so we knew there was plenty of time. We got there we were the only ones in the restaurant and we're told they closed at 9:00, I said your website says you close at 10:00 she says I know we need to change that, Hello???? We quickly ordered our food, it was absolutely horrible. Rice that was scraped from the bottom of the pan dried out cold, the worst dinner I think we've ever had. I asked the waitress if she could take something off of our bill, we didn't eat it she said, I'll give you 20% discount reluctantly. Don't waste your money go down the street to Peppers Garcia's Mexican Restaurant, they treat you right and they have good food. Never again.The Radisson has really gone down hill.
