text: I have been here several times and honestly, I do love the decor.  Unfortunately, there's just something disjointed about the whole experience.\n\nThe food is hit or miss so order carefully.  The sweet onion flat bread and pork belly appetizer dish were both great and super as a combination but some of the dishes are just bad combination of flavors.  Also, twice I have gone in and the entire place smelled like 5 day old fish they cooked anyway.  No restaurant should smell like that.\n\nThey have a robust evening crowd especially on Friday and Saturday and the outdoor seating is nice.  Unfortunately, the waiters tend to forget about you.  The last time I visited I asked to be reseated mid-meal because although it was not a busy night, they sat a couple both drenched in very strong fragrance, next to me.  Not only does fragrance interfere with the taste of food, but it give me migraines.\n\nI excused myself to go to the ladies room and explained to the hostess I did not wish to cause a scene or to offend the new diners and asked if I could be discretely reseated inside that way the other diners would just think it was too chilly for us. \n\nShe did so graciously but to my great surprise our waiter had a hissy fit.  We sat and sat and sat and sat.  I had already dropped a few bills on wine and half a meal but couldn't finish it for lack of service.\n\nIt's sad to say but I handled the situation with tact, Vintner Grill did not.\nThere are way too many good restaurants within a short distance to waste your time on Vintners Grill if you are a \"foodie\".  \n\nOverall, I think if you not experienced with fine dining or just happy with kind of average stuff and want a place that is a pick-up joint for \"the beautiful people\" you would like the crowd and the food.  For me...  it's a well decorated version of something Dante conjured up.
