I'd like to preface this with my expectations and preferences for a restaurant. I appreciate places that prioritize an experience, details, and vibe. I also appreciate places that nail small menus and put care into dishes with love and flavor. The Vintage Kitchen ticks off all of that. We had never visited Restore, so the quaint interior was new to us. I had only seen it in photos. The quaint interior had such cute and thoughtful touches. They are still working on their bar menu, so I don't recall the exact drink names. My husband had a cherry old fashioned, I had a chai pear drink. He loved his old fashioned, but we both agreed that the chai pear drink was hands down the winner. The French onion soup risotto was absolutely delightful and so flavorful! It was the perfect sharing portion for 2 diners. He got the double smash burger with duck fat fries. I don't care for sauces, but really liked the bite of his burger I tried. The duck fat fries were very good too! I'm pretty sure that was malt vinegar with it and it paired quite well. I got the beef short ribs and brown butter mashed potatoes. I cannot begin to describe how tastey the combination was! I'd eat a whole plate of just those potatoes and gravy! We ended our dinner sharing the hot cocoa tiramisu. It was a great end to the meal. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly. It was apparent from the moment we stepped in that this place was built on love. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes we saw come out to other diners!

I dined here with a large group of friends on one of their first days that they were open, and we were thoroughly pleased. The atmosphere was cozy and unique, the wait staff did a great job accommodating our large group. But the food was the star! We devoured a few portions of the French onion risotto, which was so flavorful. I had the chicken gnocchi and it was some of the best gnocchi I’ve ever had and wished I would’ve saved some for leftovers the next day. I got to try a friend’s short ribs and the meat just melted in your mouth. Everybody was very happy with their dishes and the tiramisu at the end was fantastic. I had a delicious mocktail and my friends also really enjoyed their cocktails. I would highly recommend a visit here, I’m already planning to go back with my family. The owner was also very helpful and responsive when making our reservation.

The food was incredible, the chef’s cooked and prepared these meals to perfection, and the service was great. The owner even stopped by our table to say hi, very classy move. Highly recommend!
