My wife and I went there on business (yes, I know) so were only there for one night. We walked over to another restaurant and was terribly disappointed so we drove a couple blocks and found the Vintage Press.
When we travel, we normally like to sit at the bar and have a cocktail. It's amazing how you can get a feel for a place by doing this. You see the attitude of the hostess, bartender, and the patrons. The first place just made us feel like they couldn't care less about us. The Vintage Press however was the complete opposite. Excellent staff attitude and service.
So, we had a glass of wine and an appetizer (mushrooms) at the Vintage Press bar. Oh man. It was so good we decided to stay and have dinner, which was also superb. The decor of the place is also spectacular. The attention to detail and cleanliness of the place is top notch.
You know we are from Los Angeles area and we have tons of good restaurants but we both agreed that this is one of the best restaurants we have been to in a long while. In fact, a friend of ours is a chef and we have discussed driving up for the night just for the dinner. We know he would be impressed.
The icing on the cake is that the prices are pretty reasonable as well. We wish we could get this level of service in LA.
So, a big thumbs up on this place!
