We travel through Montgomery enough to need a great meal. Vintage Year fits the need. The inside is nicely styled and suits various types of dinners. We saw friends, business partners, families, couples, and singles all enjoying their meals. The wait staff was great on both visits. They knew the menu and made some great recommendations. They also took care of everything promptly and professionally. The food was amazing. Across our two visits we tried oysters, pork chop, fillet, a Caesar salad, and venison. Every item we tried gets 5 stars excluding the Caesar salad, which gets 3 stars. We will return the next time we pass through. read more

Zach took great care of us on our Valentine's date night. We got their special for Valentine's Day, which included the 1) 12 oz Ribeye with potatoes and broccoli with a mixing of scallops and 2) Scallops with Rissoto. Ended the night with a dessert Port wine 20 year (humble brag). Anyway, the highlight of the night was Zach's service. Absolutely went above and beyond. He is the example of what every wait staff should be and strive to become. A+ Highly recommend this place and will be back. Go celebrate a special occasion or date night with your significant other! read more

Did some research online under "fine dining" and came across this gem. We easily found parking in front of location...but it was a very small area...we dined early. Ambiance/Cleanliness-Very warm and welcoming. Comfortable seating, lovely table. 4 stars Service-Zachary was THE BEST!! He made great food recommendations and helped my girlfriend select a lovely glass of wine with our meal. He offered to take our picture and was on point with Service. 5 stars Food-was shockingly excellent. We started with crab cakes and scallops. Points off for what was a dissapointingly similar saucing for both. She wanted a light meal and the Caesar salad with chicken fit the bill. I had the Poulet Rouge with mac-n-cheese and crispy Brussels sprouts. The chicken skin could have been crispier, and the sprouts were almost burnt. Zachary recommended the creme brulee and it was perfect. 4 stars We were given a Military Discount. My favorite meal on this trip to Montgomery read more

We came here for dinner on New Years Eve, 2024. I found this restaurant through the Resy app, and was looking for reservations. I am so happy I found this place. It was absolutely amazing. The restaurant was beautiful, our service was phenomenal and the food was perfect. It had a real farm to table feel to it. My husband and I both ordered their elk chop for our dinner entree and we split the crab cake appetizer. I also had their fig martini. They had a champagne cheesecake for dessert for New Year's Eve with a sparkler on it! Quite the presentation. read more

Great restaurant in Cloverdale with some old style charm that did not disappoint. The Seafood Dynamite appetizer was brought back by customer demand! It was delicious but so rich and velvety.

I'd been to this restaurant years ago and it was special and wonderful. This time was so disappointing. Service was slow even tho they weren't busy and food was just okay. Burger was intensely salty, pesto pasta not much different than a quick meal I'd throw together at home. Brussels sprouts were kind of slimy. They are super friendly tho. read more

Great filet that was super flavorful and so tender. Great service and beautiful location

Had dinner here on a Wednesday evening. The dining room is spacious and comfortable. Wait staff was helpful and professional (Brian). The crab cake appetizer was outstanding! For entrees we had the pork chop and pasta prima Vera. Both were excellent. Good wine list and cocktails. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Montgomery. Will be back on our next visit. read more

Everything about Vintage Year is absolutely stunning! The decor is classy and not over done, the service is attentive, professional and very knowledgeable and the food is perfectly divine! We started with the Yellowfin Tuna which just melts in your mouth then shared the Passion Fruit Salad which was the daily special salad. It was definitely special, those passion pearls were fun and delicious! Our entrees were just as spectacular as the appetizers! Perfectly cooked filet and sweet buttery crab cakes made the entire meal unforgettable. Definitely worth the visit and will return when we're traveling through again! read more

Had reservation on a Friday night. 6pm. Seated quickly by a super friendly hostess. Service was great from start to finish; the hostess even walked me to where the restrooms were instead of just telling me. Husband and I had the wagyu steak and the duck; both entrees were delicious. We also had a side of brussel sprouts that were perfect. Server suggested sauces that went well with entrees and answered our questions. One note; the orange marmalade sauce he suggested, and I got with my duck was way too much flavor. My first bite and the sauce was all I tasted. So the first bite of sauce was the last....I got duck because I like duck. This would've been a 4 star review easily but......the ambiance. The restaurant is not big but the tables situated nicely so you could have a nice date night here. Unfortunately there is a bar on the end with several stools and two televisions (at least - I couldn't see to the end of it). It was LOUD in there. Typical bar noises, shouts and laughter that weren't out of line at all....they just took what could've been a lovely quiet dinner and made that impossible. I was expecting the Vintage Year to be that wonderful special place for a nice dinner out and was really disappointed with that part. EDIT: So in the reply below the suggestion is that I dine in the dining room. Ok; when I arrived I wasn't asked or given a choice of where to sit. That's where my husband and I were seated. First time there; how would I have known to ask? And I didn't suggest anyone could control the noise; in fact I said it was normal bar noise. No issue with that other than the fact I was having a $100+ meal sitting next to a bar. read more

Tonight was burger night and I went on a friends recommendation. Yum! Got the Fox burger, loved it! I'm trying the Great Fondue next time I'm here on a Tuesday! The fries were crispy. I could have gotten sweet potato fries or a mix but I went with regular fries. $5 glass of wine and I was set! It was so good! I could not wait to take a photo, I had to start eating right away. Service was outstanding. I was offered bread before I had decided on a meal and it was so soft and the butter was whipped, I had to eat it, even though I had a burger coming. Until next time Vintage Year! Had a great dinner! read more

I came in for dinner late T evening and was immediately seated for dinner. The restaurant is nice and inviting and service was good. I was torn between the lamb and the burger; T is burger night. The wagyu burger blend was calling my name and the server recommended the Old Smokey, with bleu cheese and a bacon jam. It was cooked as I ordered. OMG! What a flavor profile for the palette! It was so yummy! I had sweet potato fries also and they were good, just the right amount. I ordered the million dollar bar, which was described as a fancy Twix bar, after I heard guests at another table raving about it. It was delicious and came in 2 pieces. I ate 1 there and the other the next day. I can't wait to return and try another wagyu blend burger or something else. read more

NOT ADA COMPLIANT! We were traveling & I85 was deadlocked due to a wreck. We decided to find something close & grab a bite to get out of traffic.

I would say that our experience was okay. We made reservations for a Saturday night at 7pm. When arriving, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The inside was nice and upscale type of environment. My family visited the restaurant for my aunt's birthday for the first time and we weren't so impressed with our food. It was a total of 5 of us, each having ordered an appetizer and main course. The waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive. We tried a wine recommended by the waiter and it was not good at all. My aunt and cousin ordered a rack of lamb chops a piece and my aunt's dish was undercooked, so it was sent back for fish and chips that she said were decent. My mom ordered the red snapper, which she said was very underwhelming. I ordered the crabcakes (tiny) and shrimp fettuccini. I actually enjoyed the pasta dish, but for the amount of food, the price is not worth it. A plus is how the food is plated. The chef pays attention to specific details, and it is very exquisite and nice to look at. Overall, I'm not sure if I would want to revisit. read more

Wanted to love this place as a new comer to the area and community and we got sick. Yes sick, me and my husband were both extremely ill from the steak we ordered. No stomach issues from either one of us, and we eat all kinds of food. No allergies to anything. The steak smelled sour when we got it home and opened the box, almost a little off. But we both agreed it would probably be safe to eat. No . Definitely no. We both literally ran to the toilet multiple times all Saturday night and I am not joking my stomach was killing me. I have yet to call the restaurant... kinda hesitant but this was definitely not the experience I was expecting. I will say the crab cakes were phenomenal salad was great. But man the steaks were rotten. We eat steak often and no issues, also the fact it happened to both of us was a HUGE red flag. Also we got the exact same cut of meat. read more

My husband booked my birthday dinner in the big city! We came from Ft Novosel to Christmas shop and have a nice dinner! It was really nice! We miss good restaurants! We cook really well ourselves but it's hard to find certain things in our "local" grocery. We decided on small plates and a couple of sides. My husband had the tuna which had herb seasoning crust with a nice aioli sauce and salad. We enjoyed it! Tuna is hard to come by in Enterprise or Ozark! We miss making our mango tuna spicy ball lol. I chose the quail! At home in Texas I'd hunt plenty! Oh it was so nice to have that again with MOLE sauce! Everyone makes that sauce different but it was pretty good! Mild but probably best for the area. The 2 sides We chose were the mushrooms and brussel sprouts. I liked the mushrooms best and my husband the brussels. Now the service was WONDERFUL! GOD BLESS THE SERVER! I ASKED SO MANY QUESTIONS! SHE WAS AMAZING! I forgot her name but she had a cute little baby bump. She was so helpful and knowledgeable about the wine I chose to the whole menu and dessert! We opted not to get a dessert but had we not been so full it would have been the creme brulee read more

Came across this location on a whim, and it's now a staple when I'm in the area. We even went twice in a week! Excellent service and vibes at both the bar and dining room. You can tell that the staff really enjoy working here. The Crab cakes are a must have. Honestly they have not missed with any seafood dishes I've tried. The Greek salad was wonderful. The burger is his go to- especially enjoys that they have burger nights. read more

Vintage Year is a perfect spot for dinner. The atmosphere is great. The tables aren't crowded together and the lighting makes you feel comfortable, but it's still bright enough to see your food. The hostess that greeted us was very attentive and welcoming. Samantha our server was very knowledgeable about the specials and she was very knowledgeable about the different drinks and wines. She was also very attentive and knew the menu very well and she was able to provide great recommendations. The seafood dynamite dip is definitely dynamite! It was so delicious! It was beautifully presented. The southern wedge was also very beautifully presented and good. It is so fresh, wow! The drink menu leaves nothing to be desired; the beer and cocktails are intentional and delicious, and the wine list is great as well. The food is excellent! We had an appetizer, main dish of half a rack of lamb, gulf snapper, filet mignonette, and dessert. Everything was perfect. We can't wait to go back so we can try more of the menu items. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Montgomery, Alabama. Make sure you make a reservation because they do fill up, at least while we were there! read more

Yup 5. Just well done. Traveling for work and somehow found this gem. Great service and the music was on point! I can't wait to be back!

Went there for a business dinner last night. Had looked up the reviews and they were mostly great so I had high expectations. When you first pull up in front, it doesn't look like much but the inside is really nice. We had reservations so we didn't have to wait at all and were seated right away. We were still waiting on the the third person in our group, so we ordered a couple of appetizers. Our server suggested the butter baked oysters and the Vintage Seafood Dynamite. Both were disappointing and I think I got a bad oyster because I woke up in the middle of the night sick as a dog from what I could only assume was food poisoning. If it weren't for that, I probably would have been generous and gave it three stars instead of two. Anyway, moving on: I ordered the Chuck Short Rib, which was served Beef Wellington style wrapped in a puff pastry. When I cut into it, it was basically just one big chunk of fat with almost no meet and was very bland. Also, nothing came with it. No sides. No salad. No bread. Nothing. I checked the menu online this morning and it was supposed to have come with local mushrooms and carrot puree. Didn't happen. Being the portion was small and no sides came it with it, I was still hungry so I ordered the cheesecake with the baclava crust for dessert. They ended up bringing out the Smores cheesecake instead. At this point I didn't care and ate it anyway. Like everything else, it wasn't that great. My dinner companions entres didn't look very appetizing, either. The service was decent but nowhere near what you would expect from a high end restaurant, especially one that charges the prices this one does. Definitely would never go there again. read more

So this was kind of a last minute add on our recent trip down to Montgomery. Looking for a place begore a show, we came across Vintage Year. We called ahead and were unable to get reservations (pretty last minute), but they indicated that outdoor and bar seating were first come first serve, so we gave it a shot. When we arrived they weren't very busy at all and there was one table in the bar, so we grabbed it. Service was really good and we really liked our bartender who doubled as our server. Very knowledgeable about the menu, not just the drinks. He helped us decide what we wanted to go with based on how he answered our questions. For starters we had a Cool Cat Lemonade - Cathead honeysuckle, peach nectar, house made lemonade - it was sweet, but a 5 out of 5 Berkshire Double Bone Pork Chop. No other way to put it ..... RIDICULOUS!!!! This is one of the most legit pork chops we've ever had. I can think of one other place that makes pork chops on this level, not sure whos I liked best, but this is a solid 5 out of 5. Even if you don't traditionally like pork chops, this will change your mind. 8 ounce Black Angus Filet with hasselbeck potato, broccolini, bordelaise, bleu cheese compound butter. This was so good! The compound butter melted on the filet was amazing! This was a solid 5 out of 5 as well. Chocolate Budino dessert. We got tempted into this, even though we were full, because of how good everything had been so far. To be honest, our opinion, this was actually pretty bland. It did pair nicely with the scoop of ice cream, but at the end of the day, I probably wouldn't get this again. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 (I'm being tough, because this is 5 star dining). All in all a great dining experience that is highly recommended. read more

What a wonderful surprise! Great restaurant with so much attention to service. Every person that worked there was super friendly! We had the crab cakes (made with crab claw) and the pork belly. Both were superb! My companion had the steelhead trout and absolutely loved it. I had the duck. Normally I never order duck but gave it a shot. The chef recommended medium rare but it came out rare. They took care of it immediately and within a few moments it came back and was delicious. It was served with a yummy risotto with a hint of goat cheese. Desserts were cheesecake and gluten free strawberry shortcake. I personally don't care for cheesecake (unless it's ricotta based) but I had a few bites and it was quite good. The gluten free shortcake was a little on the dry side but I still liked it and ate almost all of it! Wonderful service, high quality, and an interesting diverse menu! read more

Super happy we booked this restaurant for our Anniversary. Multiple staff members complimented us, as they clearly were aware of the occasion. The service was phenomenal; me and my wife both commented on how the server went above and beyond and the presentation made the experience that much better. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals - they had a seasonal salad with bacon jam and smoked blue cheese dressing that was probably the favorite! Desserts were awesome too, The cheesecake was locally made and the crème brûlée was very rich and creamy. It has a very unique vintage atmosphere, very elegant and classy. We will definitely return. read more

This is always a great place to come if you want a fancier side of town. The food is fresh and the cocktails are great.

Definitely come here for a nice date night, business meeting, or any other event that requires an above average establishment. read more

What a lovely place! Produce is grown on site, menu and service were wonderful. Great date night or celebration spot.

This was a great place to eat, although there was only one vegetarian option on the menu...It was delicious Squash Stew.
