Vintage Chophouse & Wine Bar

Vintage Chophouse is inside the Inn at Bay Harbor. We didn't stay at the hotel, just found them on Google and decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is very small but doesn't feel cramped. Breathtaking view of the lake, and in summer, the view from the outside patio would be stunning. We had tomato soup as a starter. It had balsamic and olive oil in it, which was something new for us and quite cozy and inviting, especially with the asiago sourdough bread. I had the tenderloin pappardelle, and my husband had the seafood pappardelle. Both were absolutely delicious. We couldn't decide between the brown betty apple and the flourless torte for dessert, so naturally, we got both. I was blown away by the torte, so smooth and rich. The bourbon caramel apple dish was amazing and just the right dessert for a blustery fall day. Andrew, our server, was personable and attentive. It was a fantastic experience. We will be back.

We came to celebrate the night before my wedding and Andrew was HANDS DOWN the best server I have ever had. I have dined at Mastro’s, Capital Grille etc. and I have not experienced that quality of service until tonight! He set such a mood for us and I will always remember the night before my wedding at Vintage Chophouse.😊

You cannot ask for a better atmosphere outside on the patio. The views are amazing! Service was good. Inside it is a bit cramped and very loud when full, but there are still great views of the water. The seafood papardele was good but you are basically paying $50 for a plate full of pasta. There were 3 shrimp, 3 mussels and the lobster was almost non existent. It was tasty but again LOTS of heavy pasta not much seafood. The mushroom flatbread, mushroom ragu, and mussels were awesome. Great wine selection. Everything is ala carte and very high end pricing but again you are in an amazing venue. Would recommend if you are looking for a great place for a special occasion.

Upscale dining within the resort hotel. It's open to guests, and the local shopping options seemed nice (that we didn't try any since we didn't know they were there before visiting and hadn't planned enough time to stop in). The food was certainly high quality, but did feel a little overpriced considering what we received. All in all, we would go again and be happy to pay a bit of a premium for the location, service, and atmosphere. No, and the cocktails were cool too.

We came during the week and the car was packed but we pretty much had the place to ourselves. I am a Brussel Sprouts girl, whenever it’s on the menu I order it and this one was too soggy. The glaze was watering down my Brussel sprouts. Not the best but had potential- I got the braised short ribs and left none to spare; well cooked and full of flavor. My 3 year old got tenders and fries for families who need to bring their kids. Husband got the burger and everyone told him to get it. Someone randomly, the front desk, the valet and so the hype was high- it was just okay. Overall we enjoyed our time but everything was just okay. My Braised short Ribs were the absolute best! Oh and let me add I debated on the Lamb Pops but wanted more than 3 so I choose the Braised short Ribs instead.
