    mid pizza
    Hope D.

    I visited this past Sunday and though it was a cute outdoor space, unfortunately didn't have the best experience. We were seated almost immediately and ordered drinks, which were good. We wanted to order the cheesy pizza, but the waitress mistakenly brought out a charcuterie board instead. When we pointed it out, there wasn't really an offer to send it back or comp it, so we just decided to take it to go and ordered the pizza afterward. Since we were taking the charcuterie with us, we asked for a bag to carry everything. The waitress came back with gallon-sized Ziploc bags, which honestly felt a little weird and kind of summed up the experience. I'm from San Francisco and went out of my way to try this spot, so it was pretty disappointing overall.

    Nice night in Santana Row

    Good selection of wine in a comfortable location. The food selections were reasonable and went well with the wines. We enjoyed the flights we tried. Service was a bit slow, but certainly friendly.

    Came here and ordered one of their Pinot flights. The portions were fair, and each wine had a unique profile, ranging from lighter to bolder flavors. We were seated right away upon arrival, which was much appreciated. Even though the seating is outside, the heaters made it warm and cozy. I've been here multiple times before but kept forgetting to leave a review. The charcuterie plate is also very good and pairs well with whichever wine you choose. Overall, I've always had a great experience coming here.

    Cute spot in the middle of Santana Row! Mainly outdoor seating but a cute vibe to sit with friends and talk! We shared a bottle of their riesling which we thought was a good deal for 3 people. It was very sweet and was an easy wine to drink. I would come again to get this wine and for the vibes!

    Location, location, location. Vintage Wine Bar is smack-dab in the middle of the Row. It's beautifully lit up at night and even more whimsical during Christmas time. Depending on their menu selection, I usually go for either their sparkling flight or a bottle of bubbly. Their menu does alternate, as one time they had lambrusco! Knocking down a star due to slower service. Even when the place is empty, it still seems to take them a bit for turn around time, but it's not the worst thing in the world since the vibes are always vibing there.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Santana Row. Ambiance is great, fabulous wine selection, and the snack selection has variety. The service, however, is very slow. I often find myself waiting much longer than I should for food+wine and even longer for the check. The bussers are kind but a bit inexperienced and unprofessional. I will be back but hoping for faster service.

    Very convenient spot and vibes BUT the service is truly disappointing!! Sometimes all you need is is a good glass of wine and a refreshing space unfortunately they only have wine. Many other places around with better experiences for sure

    Service is HORRIBLE... Literally came before 8pm and we were sat down and took the server more than 10 minutes to get to us when the place wasn't even busy ... we had to wave her down to even get her attention and then she tells us when we are ordering that kitchen is close. CRAZY.. just unacceptable when they don't close until 9pm and it wasn't even 8pm yet And our last visit wasn't great either. Keep in mind this place isn't cheap either. But the food and wine are good but the service sucks ! I feel like it just gets even worse every single time. They really need to work on the service. And if they're closing at 9 PM, their kitchen should be open to 830 at least. And my recent visits have been in the last month I don't think I will be back for a while, even though I love this place ... We came on a Friday evening 5/30/25 and a Sunday evening 6/8/25

    This is a great place to come in for outside sitting and to try out new wines. Whether it is family or friends company, it will be great. They have great options for flights as well as bottles

    Funday Cabby Funday
    Jenny K.

    I stopped by this place while shopping with friends and it's a nice little spot in the middle of Santana Row. I got their Funday Cabby Funday flight and their burrata primavera. It was a bit pricey for everything but considering that it's in Santana Row it's not unexpected. The wine was okay but I wish our server could have pointed out which wine was what when she brought the flight out. Overall the service wasn't bad but it can get a bit slow when it gets busy so just a heads up.

    Absolutely amazing! You can get a three wine flight for less than 30! Waitress was amazing and allowed for ample time for a much needed girls night, we didn't feel rushed at all. The wine was excellent

    Burrata
    Mia Y.

    Vintage wine bar is one of my favorite places in the South Bay! To be honest Desiree is the driving force behind this. Waiting for a dinner reservation, a casual girls night out, or if you just need a glass of wine and a good book this is the place. Come for the charcuterie and Riesling and all of your problems will vanish! Service is excellent and if you get a chance to meet Desiree or Taryn your night will be made! I can't recommend vintage wine bar enough!

    Cozy corner for some weekend drinks

My expectations were already low as I'm not usually into tapas style (aka small portion but expensive and possibly mediocre food) but boy was I wrong. All of the food that we ordered was genuinely so good. I still think about the BUCATINI (tom yum butter, lime, garlic and basil) and would solely come back for that dish. The portion sizes were on the smaller side but it is tapas, we had a group of 8 hungry people so that was on our part lol Overall, would recommend and come back to try some of their other dishes and wine! super cute for date night

The small bar is great for chatting and the back room is a wonderful choice if you're on a date or chilling with a handful of friends. The service is excellence, friendly and knowledgeable. They have a nice selection of wines and I really like the tube wine flights. I have not seen flights presented that way. I can't wait to return!

We ordered both of the bruschettas in the starters section (honeycomb burrata and porcini pate) and I was a bit surprised they came on untoasted bread because I'd been picturing baguette slices. They were both tasty because it's hard to go wrong with an umami ingredient like pate but if I really think about it, both of these dishes were things anyone could throw together. There wasn't any special seasoning made by the restaurant or anything. For entrees, we ordered the Paris by night truffle lover bifteak (filet mignon with truffle cheese on sweet potato) which was just okay. We ordered medium rare but the entire thing was a bit chewy and slightly dry. Could taste the truffle on the Parmesan cheese when alone but not when eaten with the sweet potato. The Persian saffron gheymeh lamb ossobuco (lamb shank with stew and dill basmati rice) was delicious though! Lamb was incredibly tender and savory and the spiced split-pea saffron stew went well with the fluffy rice. We'll probably return to try the recommended cod and tiramisu because overall it was pretty good.

It took about 20-30 minutes for her to come back and take our food order after we placed our initial drink orders with her. Throughout the dinner, her demeanor felt very passive aggressive, and there were several moments where we felt like we were being given attitude despite everyone in our group being polite. My friend asked for extra olives with his martini and she responded with a rude "Really?" while making a face. It was such an unnecessary reaction to a totally simple and normal request. She also recommended that we order family style, which we followed, but the pacing between courses was extremely slow. We waited around 30+ minutes between our pasta and our protein entrees. For a restaurant that specifically recommends family style dining, the courses should be paced more appropriately so the table isn't sitting around waiting for the next round of food. The birthday cake situation was also frustrating. We had given our cake to the hostess when we arrived, but I guess our server was never notified of that. When I asked about a candle, she said she would bring it out with the birthday dessert, but brought out the restaurant's dessert instead. When she realized we had our own cake, she immediately took the bill back and said she needed to add the cake fee. The issue with that was we weren't asking them to cut or plate the cake. We just wanted to sing Happy Birthday, then have it boxed back up. She had assumed we wanted the cake service without actually asking us, and when we clarified, her response was, "Well, that's why I asked earlier," even though she hadn't actually asked us. None of us gave her a hard time or were anything but polite throughout the evening, which made the repeated attitude especially disappointing. The food wasn't terrible and the drinks were great, the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, but spending around $900, which included a 20% automatic gratuity, you'd expect the service to match the price point, even though service should always be good regardless. Unfortunately, the poor service really overshadowed what was supposed to be a nice birthday dinner for my friend and left all of us with a bad taste in our mouths.
