    You cannot beat the Vintage Chophouse. Exceptional food, service, ambience. Love the lounge atmosphere. 14 oz Rib eye best around. My wife had the 8oz tenderloin Oscar, says it’s the best she’s ever had. Great wine recommendations by our server. Top notch. One of my favourite places for years.

    The dinner services were fantastic. The tuna tartare is a must. I didn’t really enjoy the cocktail I got because it was unexpectedly sweet, the ginger syrup overpowered the drink. I should have asked for a recommendation. Overall, a happy experience. Thank you.

    The scallops were cooked perfectly. We got there early and tried a selection of the margaritas. The blood orange and mango were awesome. Max is the GM. He was very friendly and made us feel at home. Definitely recommend the place. We’d go back again for sure.
