We were greeted by Alexa, the hostess, and she immediately made us feel welcome. Even with the restaurant being busy, she had a friendly smile and checked in on us in a way that made us feel taken care of, almost like a server would.
Her kindness and attention added a nice touch to our visit. Really appreciated the warm hospitality.

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 Cheesecake.
The cheesecake was also huge and unlike any other Ube Cheesecake I’ve tried! Those little mounds of ube halaya on top are genius, I’ll be doing the same when I make them at home.
We chose to sit inside, and I requested a table next to the window, which overlooks a beautiful fountain below. In the warmer months, I’d choose to sit outdoors, that space looked so cozy and inviting.
Our server was awesome, he let us know that if we signed up for their loyalty program, we would get 10% off our first bill. The restaurant is part of a larger restaurant group with locations around the country, including Hawaii.

Fine dining with beautiful views and delicious menu items. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable about what they have available. I was able to get a walk-in table on Thursday evening with no reservation and I asked the hostess for a table with a nice view to have dinner with family at. They did not disappoint!
The drinks were delicious and the entrees were full of flavor with large portions served. We had the bone in pork chops, sea bass, and short ribs, all amazing. The end of the meal was finished off with warm cups of tea thst did not disappoint.
Our waiter came through with great suggestions for drinks and entrees and helped us navigate the menu selections.

I had the most beautiful dining experience at Vintana wine and dine, located on top of the Lexus dealership—it’s honestly the most stunning dealership I’ve ever seen. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a gorgeous fountain and pool that sets the tone for the whole evening.
Inside, the ambiance is absolutely romantic—the lighting, décor, and atmosphere are elegant and inviting. It feels like the perfect place for a date night, celebration, or just to treat yourself.
The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The service was just as impressive—our server, Armin, was exceptional. He was kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed. You can tell the staff truly take pride in their work and in the restaurant.

We were dining with a large group last night. Parking was on the top floor of the Lexus dealership. After arriving we were told to order at the bar (food and drinks). Evidently we went to the wrong bar (they have 2). We saved some seats for some friends at our table and we were the first to arrive and order our meal and drinks. After everyone arrived we started eating (our salads were first to show up). We had the steak (12 oz Angus New York with sweet potato polenta). Our salad was really good. The wine was very good and a generous pour. People here were very friendly and nice. Overall we had a lot of fun with our friends.
