One of the more fine dining options in Montgomery, I have put off the trying Vintage Year for a while because I was worried it might not live up to the hype or be worth the money. On a spontaneous date night we went full send with a four course meal and cocktails. Everything was spectacular and the service was top notch. We didn't need a reservation on a Wednesday night. The salad and the filet were both amazing. I hate how much I enjoyed it because I will be back soon, everything was great. Isaac was our server and he's great at his job. Revisited for our anniversary and Joshua took great care of us. Everything was great and worth every cent.

First time here and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful! The wait staff and bartender were all all awesome and the food was over the top! Lamb lollipop appetizer and Elk chops and creme brulee were beyond perfection! Thank you and we will be back!

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!

Amazing! Can't wait to go back. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. The service was spot on: knowledgeable, timely, and pleasant. I had braised short ribs that pretty much fell apart with a fork and tasted sublime.y husband had a 16 oz ribeye and I had a piece and it was cooked medium rare and it was perfect. Even though dinner was wonderful, I think the appetizer was even better. We had fried pork belly with thin slices of apple and I could have had second and maybe thirds of this dish it was so good, the apple pieces were the right pairing for this meat. If you are looking for a special night out or just want to be a little pampered during a hectic week come and eat here.

Vintage Year perfect spot for a nice dinner. The food is delicious, beautifully presented, and the ingredients are somewhat daring. While some dishes were truly inspired, a few lacked the flavor interest and culinary flair to justify the price. However, nothing we ordered left us disappointed. The drink menu leaves nothing to be desired; the signature cocktails are intentional and delicious, and the wine list is generous. The staff are wonderfully attentive and know the menu well enough to provide thoughtful recommendations. Be sure to make reservations to ensure you have a seat!

Vintage Year was ok. It was not the fine dining experience that my husband and I expected it to be. Our service and server were extremely slow. I felt our server was on the side of unprofessional with how he handled his approach with us, sarcastic and unnecessarily comedic at times. We had to ask for bread and a refill. The cocktail, crab cakes, and burger were good, but the halibut fell short with no flavor and terrible presentation. I am not sure that we will return to Vintage Year, but it was nice to try it.

Really enjoyed our meal here! Would love to come back. Husband chose the restaurant for date night and I initially was nervous because I’m pregnant and picky now. But I liked my duck, the waiter suggested I get it “well done”, I’d like to come back and try it the chefs way. Well done was a bit tougher than I like. The cake was amazing! They also had a watermelon mint mocktail and I really appreciated that! As an appetizer we had the oysters, I honestly could have had more, maybe after I have this baby. The atmosphere is very “downtown” they have indoor and outdoor dining. Also a large party room. The wait staff is helpful and attentive.
