Tapas was excellent. We had an artichoke Flatbread that was out of this world. Korean BBQ tacos were great as well. Salmon was overcooked. Ordered 8 dishes for 4 people and it was more than enough. Drinks are very pricey and all those small dishes add up. Decor is not upscale enough to charge what they do.
Would not recommend for brunch!I went with a group of friends when they werent very busy. Each dish needed improvement. All the poached eggs were not poached, they had a jello like texture and no runny inside. The eggs benedict was only one egg (egg benedict). The pancakes were HARD and small. Every dish was small portions. It seems these issues have been commented on before by other reviewers and the owner responses the same way he did when we brought up these concerns at brunch. If you would have told us sooner then we could have fixed these for you He did get us new pancakes and took off one of the poached egg dishes, but when each meal needs to be fixed and it has been reviewed poorly before, there is no excuse continuing this poor quality. The owner and chef really need to sit down and evaluate their brunch menu.On a positive note, the waitress was very good at re-filling our glasses for the bottomless mimosas! So if youre not very hungry, this is a great place to get plastered on a Sunday afternoon! ;)
Food and drinks were great. Very noisy on a Friday night but still enjoyable.
Server did not know menu. Could not answer questions regarding menu or drinks. Tap beer was flat. Service was ok.
Everything was so delicious! Definitely will be back! The ambiance and decor are also so cute.
Its dark and loud at 1pm. The food was GOOD and the service was too. However the drinks were terrible. Sangria tasted like cough syrup.
A very new nice for place to visit. The food was very good and we went through 6 dishes. The sever Grace was friendly and I would go back again just because she was so patient and kind.
We had a very nice dinner with friends. A great selection of tapas. All of the dishes were very good; everyone enjoyed it. They were busy but not over crowded. Dishes came out quickly and they were all good. I enjoyed the calamari and sliced skirt steak the best. The staff were all friendly. We had gotten one wrong item, they apologized and fixed it quickly. What more can you ask? I read some of the negative reviews. Frozen food? I have no idea where they ate, everything here was great. Highly recommended!
This is one of my favorites for sure. Portions are just right. Food is absolutely delicious. Great selections on drinks!!! I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance as this place get busy quick.
Its ok but the creepy owner will watch over the waitresses shoulder the entire time. Gross. You cant get flight prices during happy hour, or at least thats what the owner told us when trying to cash out. Just beware.
Very good wine and tapas... great for sharing
Over priced. Watered downed drinks. Stay away and spend your money somewhere else. Very bad experienced for me and my friends.
GET THE WINGS! They will change your life. All the food was great, the brussel sprouts were outstanding as well. Kind of lackluster beer options but a delicious cocktail menu.
Quaint is the first word that comes to mind. But thats more towards the decor and setup. Despite it being a wine bar, they do have a selection of beer and cocktails. Not craft beer type choices but most of the stuff you can get at a larger super market.The wine choices were ok. Two selections per type.They do have light fare when it comes to food as well. Technically the only option as a wine bar in the area but definitely not the only bar choice in the areaId rather go to stew Leonards and pick up a selection of wines myself but I understand others want to get out.
Really like the ambiance here. The bartender let me try 3 different dry red wines until I found one I liked. He also knew which brands of wine to direct me to, so I found what I wanted.Little plates of food are delicious. Will be back.
A wine bar should have a certain atmosphere.....note to the owner this isnt it! Blasting party music to attract college kids is fine but then do not classify yourself as a wine bar. Food was alright and the wine selection was okay, would be helpful to hire staff that actually know about wine! Take Wine out of your name and perhaps the star rating would go up...
Vintage Wine Bar and BistroThis place was amazing! Came here with my girlfriend, her best friend and her fiance. We all ordered a flight each. You can mix and match wine and also beer. This was amazing to start off with. The flight were so unique and different from any other flight Ive seen. Take a look at the pictures to see for yourself!The four of us ordered tapas. We had lobster roll sliders, pull pork sliders, short rib ravioli and Korean tacos. It all was so good. The food was so fresh and the service was so fast when getting our order taken care of. My favorite was the ravioli, but i must say to try one of the four when you go there. They were simply the best! We had enough for the four of us.We end up ordering three cookies that was enough to split also. So good. We had chocolate, hazelnut, and vanilla ice cream sandwiches. So good. The owner ended up checking up on us. Very nice welcoming guy! Feels great when someone of ownership comes over even management to see how things are going. Much respect there!I will recommend this restaurant to my friends and family to go to. And I will also return with my girlfriend and friends.
I cant imagine what kind of an entitled douche could write a bad review about this place. NOT ONCE have I came here and had anything short of a great experience. The food is RIDICULOUSLY delicious. Must be a scratch kitchen. Ive brought family here. Bartenders love to recommend things. They created their own seasonal cocktails. The owner is always present. He always greets me at the door. A+ to Brittany and the two Mikes.Cant wait to come back with a refreshed appetite ;)
A great place to come and relax with a glass of wine. They have a decent selection of red and white wine to choose from and you can even sample a few before you decide to buy a glass or bottle. Theres great beer here too. I cant talk much about the food only that the lobster sliders are really good. They have specials that they offer on weekdays and also painting classes are offered on Tuesdays. Nice for either a date or with a group of friends.
They didnt have much of a cognac selection but then again it is a wine bar. The bar tender was friendly, food portions were smaller then expected but very tasty. Nice place to grab a drink and bite to eat with your partner and the the set up and decor is well done as well.
I went to their bottomless brunch and not only were we able to reserve a table but the food was excellent and the staff were constantly making sure that we had everything that we needed! We even received a free dessert for offering to move to a different spot! This place has an elegant and rustic vibe and we would definitely recommend trying it. We will definitely be coming back!!
My Favorite place to go to! Absolutely delicious Tapas, the Parmesan fries are always a must get, they have an amazing Happy hour menu! They have an awesome wine list, definitely need to try a flight to taste all of them, my boyfriend loves the list of beer they offer plenty of choices! The staff always makes my boyfriend and I feel so welcomed! It is such a relaxed and modern environment, Highly Recommend to all my family and friends!!!
Wait staff was great & engaging. Mostly all the food we had was delicious, in our opinion. Great vibe and easily accessibleHighly recommend
Awesome place. Cozy, fun, atmosphere. Love the service Casey and Louis were awesome! The food was tasty and healthy! Love the open window feel. Love the train going by! Right in the center of all the action.
Went to the Sunday brunch, we got there at Noon and were told they would not seat us and had to sit at the bar. The service was also terrible; the manager ended up serving us most of the time and every time we wanted a refill on our bottomless mimosas we had to ask. The mimosas were subpar at best. Very stingy on the champagne. When our food did arrive the portions were small and the food was cold. The chicken and waffles came out with the waffles soggy and cold, and the eggs benedict only had one egg that was very over cooked. We also ordered a side of bacon and it came out cold and was very fatty. Overall it was an unpleasant experience. I would not recommend the brunch.
Love the vibe of this place and love the flights! Brunch is delicious but it’s a bummer that it only opens at 12. But it could def be worth it if you want to try their BELLINI FLIGHT. that’s right. A Bellini FLIGHT! Literally delicious. Also, #bottomlessmimosas are always the correct choice. I know they do trivia nights and wine/painting events each week, but I’ve never gone. The idea seems really nice though! Food is tasty, but pretty basic. Everything is tapas style, so small plates and kinda pricy. You really govthere for the drinks and the good time.
Very friendly staff who helped me find a wine I enjoyed. Their flight is great. A Good price for a fair selection of different wines. I also always find parking by them and theyre usually quiet.
Staff and owner is so very very friendly and helpful. Did not have a reservation but they seated us for dinner on a Saturday night. Drink menu is wonderful and the food is so very very good. I would suggest a reservation as this little gem gets very crowded. .
Fun Neighborhood Restaurant/Bar...Delicious Tapas...Perfect Size for Sharing and Tasting Different Items...Everything was Very Tasty...Drinks were Delicious...Jalepeno Margarita Might just be My New Favorite...Dont Let the Name Fool You...There is a Full Bar as Well as Wine and BeerService was Great!!!Will Definitely be Back!!!If Theyll have Us 😉
Cozy, quiet spot for a date night. I did think that the staff could have been friendlier but maybe it was just an off night. Food was tasty (seared tuna) & the wine selection was great. Definitely a nice find amongst the louder, more crowded bars where you can barely have a conversation.
Very nice place. Good wines and food. Very attentive service. Well be back. The patrons seemed truly interested in their food, wine and conversation.
We went here for brunch this past weekend and it was great! We did the bottomless mimosas which was such a good deal. We ordered chicken & waffles and the Nutella & waffles and it was so good. We cant wait to go back!
Very loud spot for dinner when this place gets crowded which makes it hard to converse. Food was ok, tapas style. Liked the wine selection better and would recommend that over dinner. Had some issues on separate occasions with Groupon.
Went here twice. Once with friends and another for Paint Night. The first time with friends we had a great time. The second time when we went to paint night. Waitress only took drink order once in the begining and that was all. Everyone had go up to the bar or try to grab someone walking past to order another.
Really great food and atmosphere. Great service.
For the price of brunch, not worth the trip. Owner not accommodating until we threatened to leave and complain to Groupon. Not a very good businessman! Save yourself the hassle we entailed and go elsewhere. There are so many other places in surrounding area. So to the Vintage wine bar and bistro, shame shame shame!!
Went with my cuz. Perfect atmosphere to catch up while drinking a slushy wine cocktail. Food was tasty! Waitress was cool.
Ive gone there 3 times now because of the amazing service and delicious food. Every single thing on their menu is honestly amazing. Definitely a must go for a night with the girls or on a date !
Really more of a standard bar than a wine bar. Service was good but wine selection was very limited. It was relatively quiet which can be good, but there was nothing special to make the place stand out.
The bartender took the time out to explain how to choose a good Pinot Noir. He also explained what the year on the label of the bottle truly signifies. Wonderful experience. Came in to have a glass of wine while my Thai food was cooking next door...so glad I did!!
They have the best brunch! On weekdays wine and a cheese boards are the way to go. Louis is one of the best bartenders I’ve had :)
Cozy atmosphere. Nice quiet place for good wine & food choices. Great for Brunch. Perfect after work spot.
Great food, atmosphere & service. Our waitress Grace was very attentive and sweet. Menu offers something for everyone. Will definitely be back.
Went here for dinner with my husband. To start out the seating is very squished and we were stuck in a corner.We ordered a few different things to try and 100% seemed microwaved. The chicken and waffles were basically store bought, frozen and warmed up. I could have made it. The Mac and cheese with brisket still had cheese cubes that werent fully melted so that was obviously microwaved. The lobster bisque was basically burnt half and half mixed with water with chunks of maybe lobster. This restaurant made me think of a restaurant that would be on one of those fix my resturant shows where it looks nice aesthetically but they have no idea what theyre doing. We definitely wont be back.
Matt was my bartender and he is the only one that can make/mix drinks. The new bartender served me a long island ice tea in a small cup with almost no alcohol. Its truly sad they need to teach him. But Matt stepped up and saved the night. I gave it 4 stars only for Matt and the beautiful place itself.
Waffles were pale and undercooked (frozen?) That was disappointing. The wine flights & tapas were good. Our waitress was a little standoffish. Probably wont return for brunch.
Delicious food and wonderful service!
Amazing snacks to go with wide wine choices
Food was okayManagement was sarcastic and was not very accommodating at first. We had to say your customer service needs help almost walked out. After telling him the reviews would be bad, he chose to work with us. The restaurant was not busy and just not worth the trip
Was really looking forward to going here for the first time with my friend, but was sadly disappointed, the wine was great but the food was a let down, the cheese board was slices of deli cheese and the old school margarita “brick oven pizza” was something I could have pulled from a microwave, had one slice and couldn’t eat the rest.
Great menu. High quality food for affordable price and great atmosphere. Also a large diverse choice in wines!
Great food, service, and atmosphere--the ribs were amazing and the prices seemed very fair. The manager was present, involved, friendly and professional. Vintage is a true find in a neighborhood with myriad options.
The food at Vintage Wine Bar is pretty good. They offer bottomless Mimosas as well. The service is really slow and leaves a lot to be desired
Not bad if you use the groupon but wouldnt go back. Frozen waffels and frozen chicken. Forget about the bacon... a side of bacon is one slice cut into 4 pieces. You get what you pay for. But i wouldnt recommend even paying for it.
I had a Birthday brunch there yesterday, with 30 people, Staff was top notch, Food was outstanding and an amazing atmosphere. Love this place
I have been there for brunch and absolutely loved it. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff! The Nutella waffles were amazing. I will defitnely be back!
We had our holiday office party here and now weve become regulars! The service egg rolls, tacos, shrimp rissoto,wine, etc are GREAT!!!
My wife and I went there for Valentines she had been there before with friends the food to service the atmosphere were absolutely wonderful and we will certainly return I highly recommend it
Vintage as a great wine selection, great food, and never a wait. I dont know why this place isnt packed every night of the week
Great place to split a bottle of wine with several shared plates. Bruschetta is great and they do wine flights.
Great food, service, and atmosphere. They gladly accommodated low carb restrictions when preparing our food.
Great food, excellent service, mellow atmosphere and good wine. So so happy this place came to town.
Would absolutely recommend trying out this place. Great mood, yummy dishes, good customer service. Keep it up.
Amazing experience great food and atmosphere customer service is the best you could ask for staff was friendly definitely add this to your list of places to go for sure!
Great vibe waitress bomb drinks yummy price not bad food great
Food was amazing and fresh. Great services provided by great staff. Great atmosphere.
Wasnt the best wine tasting experience but it wasnt bad for a local place right off the train!
Good times, good food and good drinksService was also great.
Good food. Good happy hour deals, but I wish it was a wider happy hour selection.
Elizabeth was our server was friendly and was greatWill definitely be back again
Went there for brunch. The menu was not diverse and the drinks were somewhat uninspiring
Wine was opened and poured at the bar and not at the table and no tasting was offered first in the wine bar - it was just served.
One of my favorite places in Farmingdale. Great food, staff and wine. Get the chicken and waffles!!!
Service was great! Unfortunately the steak & eggs came cold.
Food is very delicious and affordable for a wine bar.
Service was lacking and food quality wasn’t anything to be excited about. Was never given more water and half the meal never came.
I like this place. Small but in a cosy way. Great place for a date or to hang with friends and/or co-workers.
Monday $10 flights are a great deal. Nice spot, good time
Were regulars. Consistently good atmosphere, service, & food. Slightly pricey.
Nice Crowd , Not a loud place,Could talk to your company without screaming, Food was Good too
It was a great place! Sat at the bar and food was good.
Great place to go after work with some coworkers! Food is also awesome
Love it.. cozy place and great service. lots of wine
Great small dishes. Wine selection good.
Way over priced for what it was. The Spanish rose that I got was flavorless and the food was underwhelming.
Great small plates...the short rib mac and cheese was the best!!!
This place is awful. Service is great but bald guy at the end of the bar is a creep
Awesome! Our server was very sweet and friendly.
Great atmosphere, good food, & delicious Mimosas

2021-08-02Love, love, love this place! The wine flights are amazing and the food…BOMB! My favorites are the Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese w/ Brisket, Korean Tacos, meats and cheeses, Sicilian Egg Rolls & their wings. It’s never too loud and the atmosphere is nice and quaint. Great for a small dinner date or just to hang out with some friends. Definitely recommend this place.

2019-05-14Second time here......I think that speaks for itself. Food is very good, atmosphere is perfect for quaint medium size groups to small groups and probably dates too. Wine list which is attached in a pic is endless appetite for any wine drinker in my opinion. Staff is friendly and willing to please. Look forward to going again.

2021-12-04We had a reservation for 4, via Yelp and a text message sent to us (double confirmation). They said they only had it for 2. Ok, no biggie…we waited about 5 minutes and got a table.Food = Very good tapas for the most part. We think we had a rookie server because we were served food but then the sauce for that food came out 7-10 minutes later…and she had a few other missteps. Again, no biggie.Drinks = Not strong enough. I ordered a few double Jack & Cokes and I could barely taste the Jack. I understand the Pandemic and restaurants making $$$ on their bar tabs, but just give me a little tease…show me something is in the drink. Same for my friend who was with us…she couldn’t taste the Tito’s. She though they have her Smirnoff/Georgi Vodka.Atmosphere = Cool vibe. Small space overall but I think it’s fine for the wine bar/tapas feel they are going for.

2021-11-11This place is great! It had a chill, laid back atmosphere and my friend & I enjoyed the glasses of Chianti that we ordered. We split a few food items - my favorites were the Octopus Toast and Brisket Mac & Cheese.
Review №7
2021-11-29This place is amazing, the staff is very friendly, the food was fresh and delicious! My friend came from Manhattan and was impressed with the food and the ambience! I will definitely recommend visiting and hope you get the sweet and kind Grace as your server!

2021-12-12I dont do reviews often but I really couldnt help it, the brunch I had today was terrible, and for almost 100 dollars for 2 people, for what we got, there is just no way. For starters Ive never had worse pancakes anywhere else (and I just looked through other reviews and its been brought up before) they were as hard as rocks, the cornbread was very dry, the hash was very bland and frankly the mimosas seemed very watery and bland as well. The french toast and bacon were ok but even the french toast was just plain bread with confectionary suger (for the price I feel like some challah bread or cinnamon or something would be warranted) and there is no way to mess up bacon (which is almost 5 bucks for a side of). Just given the price I really feel ripped off compared to what I could have gotten at a diner or even just made myself. Ive never been to this restaurant before and maybe brunch isnt their specialty so Ill give it the benefit of the doubt, and the atmosphere was nice but either the quality needs to go way up or the price way down. I hope someone sees this that can take some action (Id start with removing the pancakes from the menu until you get some new mix or something), Id be willing to maybe try this place again but it definitely wont be for brunch.

2021-10-31The food was pretty decent but you definitely need to watch the bill. I had some random $8 “pumpkin” charge on my bill. When I asked what It was the waitress said oh it’s a mistake. They took It off the bill and came back with a total bill of $106. I then gave my cc and when It came back for me to sign the charge was $110. I asked why they charged me $110 when the bill was clearly $106. The waitress says oh we charge $4 for using a credit card. I paid the bill because I didn’t want to argue. I don’t believe they charge for cc I think they were just looking to charge any “hidden” charges they can find. I wouldn’t go back

2021-11-03Overdue girls night and this was the absolute perfect spot! Our server, Casey, was wonderful and attentive while juggling many responsibilities both behind the bar and throughout the establishment.The food was delish, no photos because I was having so much fun catching up with my friends but I can recap some of the highlights: the meat and cheese board was the perfect starter; the wings were slightly sweet, crispy and delicious; and the Brussel sprouts were some of the best we have ever had. My friends throughly enjoyed their wine flights, too, which were a bargain during happy hour!We decided this needs to be a regular spot for future girls nights! Look forward to returning, thank you Casey for your wonderful service!
