Vintners Grill - Santa Maria

Just gave this star ratings, but I wanted to come back to it. Read some lukewarm reviews going 4 to 9 months back. Sorry it wasn't super at that time. I had great service and a great meal that was well prepared and came out of the kitchen in a reasonable time frame. My guess is people rotate in and out of these jobs from time to time, and you have hits and misses. I had the salmon with roasted potatoes and French cut green beans. The salmon portion was bigger than I expected and cooked perfectly. Also had a nice presentation.

The food was decent and server was not friendly. Almost like he didn't want to be bothered. I asked for no ice in my water, he poured me a cup full of ice water at the tableside. The restaurant was empty but he walked swiftly past without checking on us. The breading was falling of the fish and lightly seasoned.

I thought the place was okay. I had the Reuben and it was not bad. It wasn't great either though. The service was lukewarm and being the only one in the restaurant at the time I still had to wait an extremely long time for service and to get my bill.

Thanksgiving brunch was such a disappointment. Definitely overpriced. Food was all cold no matter what dish you chose, generic cheese platter but not served with anything else, Only vegetable was asparagus, random sliced white bread in a bag! Mimosas were and additional $20 per person. It was definitely a low budget experience you could find on a regular day and extremely overpriced. Food was bland, plain and cold. Service was awkward. Will never visit for brunch again. Very disappointed in this holiday experience and the service.

My fish and chips had plenty of fish filets, more than enough for one person. My wife's fried chicken was perfect,crispy on the outside moist and tender inside. The sides were high quality also.
