    Vintage Tavern is our go-to place for an evening out. We often dine in the bar area for a more casual experience. This was date night so we ate in the dining room. They never disappoint. Our server, Patrick, was exceptional. He is personable, professional and efficient. He knows the menu and makes excellent suggestions. He sold my husband on a blackberry Old Fashion and had our dear bar manager, Liz, deliver it. Liz is such a breath of fresh air. We didn't eat beef this time. Husband had the flounder which he said was perfect. I couldn't resist eating my first soft shelled crabs of the season. They came from Johnson Bros down the street. Good size and beautifully cooked. Breading was light and crisp. Go there for date night in the dining room, or a more lively experience in the bar area. You won't be disappointed.

    We had a wonderful time at Vintage Tavern. We had the Duck Breast with sweet potato puree with kale. Delicious. Our favorite cocktail. Burnt Honey Old Fashoned were wonderful. Our server, Drew, was attentive, friendly and engaging. We loved her. No negatives. We had a great time and will be back.

    When making reservations for 5, I was not able to reserve our table in the bar area. I mentioned in the comments we would like a table in the bar if available. OF COURSE, Vintage accommodated us and we were able to sit in the bar. Always accommodating! The -1 star: Several of us had the Wahoo special. Everyone liked theirs, but mine did not taste as fresh as I thought it should; not Vintage's usual perfection. Nonetheless, was still very good so I didn't mention it. I will say, if anything was not exactly as ordered, Misty and Chandler quickly took care of it. Our favorite appetizer - Taste of Southern Goodness with added pimento cheese did not disappoint. BTW, best pimento cheese EVER. Worth getting some to take home.) We had a wonderful time, at a great place, with superb drinks. Thanks to Vintage and the excellent staff who took care of us; we really enjoyed our meal. Can't wait for our next meal there!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Vintage Tavern in Suffolk, VA, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was outstanding, with portions that were more than generous. The garden view added a lovely touch to the ambiance, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. However, what truly stood out during our visit was the remarkable service provided by our waitress. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure my aging parents were comfortable. She took her time to explain the menu options thoroughly, brought extra napkins to accommodate their needs, and was keenly aware of their loss of dexterity. Her thoughtful actions helped alleviate any potential issues, making the dining experience smooth and pleasant for everyone. Her kindness and patience made a significant difference, and we left the restaurant feeling grateful for her exceptional service. I highly recommend the Vintage Tavern not only for its delicious food and beautiful garden view but also for the outstanding care and attention provided by their staff.
