  2026-0308: After hearing about this spot from friends for ages, we finally visited a couple of times this year—and it lived up to the hype. The menu options are fantastic, the service is consistently excellent, and the spacious environment gives the whole place a truly special feel.

  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 what I would choose if it was my last meal on this earth. Vintana is a true gem in Escondido. Service is exceptional. Food is amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening

  The drive into the car dealership is a little odd, but there is good signage that directs you to parking in front of the restaurant. Once inside, you are immediately transported away from the car dealership experience. There is a classy atmosphere with high ceilings and large windows. People are wearing outfits from business casual to jeans and a t-shirt. I would recommend skipping the t-shirt unless you can dress it up. The service was amazing and we had champagne waiting at the table and rose petals on the table for us. The waiters recommendations and descriptions of the food were helpful and we all enjoyed our food. We got the pork chops and the ahi tuna. The ahi was delicious and savory. I would highly recommend.

  Let’s start at the beginning. In planning our 10 year wedding anniversary lunch, we chose Vintana based on prior reviews and the word of trusted friends. We’d heard about the atmosphere, quality of the food, and the level of service; all of which were said to be top notch. Reservations were made ahead, weeks in advance, and we looked forward to our visit. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a hostess who confirmed our reservation. The restaurant appeared to have just opened for lunch service, as a number of guests were waiting to be seated. We were seated after about a 10 minute wait. Once seated, we were greeted by our server almost immediately. He asked for our drink orders, and also asked if we were ready to order our starters or mains. We hadn’t had a chance to look at either menu yet, so we asked for more time. One of our place setting napkins had a perfect lip imprint of a lipstick stain from a past guest. We traded it out for a new one with no difficulty. We provided our dietary restrictions, one person being gluten sensitive, and one being lactose intolerant (however, we explained that we didn’t need to avoid lactose, just needed to know if it was in it so that we could take an easy pill to counteract it). Our server confirmed his understanding, and recommended the shishito peppers & pork belly for a starter, stating the sauce was the best part of the dish. The dish said it could be made gluten free, so we ordered it. The server also asked for our kids’ orders - and we asked specifically that each course come out together so we could eat with our kids. Our server reassured that he would put each course in together. Our kids’ drinks and starters arrived promptly. We waited for about 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive from the bar and for our starter to arrive. The mocktails we ordered were amazing. Honest credit is due there. The shishito peppers and pork belly arrived, and, but unfortunately, had no sauce on them. Our guess is that the sauce had gluten in it, but we were never advised either way. The peppers were…fine. Quite bitter without the sauce, but we enjoyed the pork belly. While we just began to eat our starter, our kids’ main courses arrived ahead of schedule. Their eyes now on their food, it was impossible to turn away. While they ate their mains, we waited for our server to return. When he arrived, he apologized for the misfired timing, then promptly retreated. The kids finished their meals quickly, as kids do. We then waited for quite some time while our mains were cooked. When they were delivered, the gluten free dish was without sauce. Again, we assumed this was due to gluten. The mains were good. Both lettuce wrap orders were cooked well, plated exceptionally, and were without error. Dessert time was upon us. Given our restrictions, we were surprised with an anniversary sorbet in two different flavors. Both were fantastic and were decorated to fit the occasion. Loved it. We ate, we laughed, we enjoyed the amazing view and each other’s company. However, what lingered afterward were feelings of disappointment about the experience. Our server seemed to be in a rush taking orders, lacked menu knowledge that would have been helpful when making choices around dietary restrictions, and overshared personal experiences to us and surrounding tables. We acknowledge food restrictions can be tough. We worked in restaurants ourselves in our younger years. But you need to know this stuff. And you certainly shouldn’t brag about your favorite part of a meal being the part we couldn’t have due to restrictions when that food is literally sitting on the table. There was a lot of good. But overall, this was a lackluster experience that didn’t have to be. If your menu lists something as gluten free, or that it can be made gluten free, the staff need to be able to explain ahead of time what changes will be made in order for it to be delivered. If that drastically changes the quality of the food, it’s better that staff say they wouldn’t recommend it in that form. Wish it had been different.
