Vintage 423

Food was excellent, decor and ambiance quite good, a little noisy but it's Friday night. Service was top tier from the waitress and busser. Had the tasty beef stroganoff and key lime pie. The pie was very good with a good chewy crust and sour enough filling to make the sweet pop.Only loss of the star was the fact that their dress code is completely ignored. I went out of my way for the upscale place partly because of the dress code yet next to me is a guy in a sports track suit and a baseball cap on backwards. Either don't have a dress code or enforce it.

We came to Vintage for lunch today. It had been a while since we had been there. My husband had the chicken sandwich and fries. My son had the pasta carbonara and I had the beef stroganoff. The chicken sandwich tasted fine but the multiple chicken pieces were a bit over fried. It was disappointing that it was not a single chicken breast. The fries were fine. The pasta carbonara tasted fine. The sauce was very thick and rich. My son said he liked it but I don't think he will get it again. I had the beef stroganoff. It was good. The pasta was soft but not mushy. The beef was great. It was tender and flavorful. We also had dessert. My son had the banana pannacotta. It was good but just an average banana pudding. My husband had the apple pie. It was good. I had the Mille fuelle. It was disappointing. It was layers of phyllo with cream and white & dark chocolate according to the menu. There was no dark chocolate and it was very sweet. The service was good, a little slow but friendly. Overall we had a mixed experience with the food and of course it's expensive. You can be the judge if it's worth it.

Came in last week for a dinner date with my wife. We were probably seated and it took a bit for our waitress to come to the table to start our orders. The service was really slow and felt like we were forgotten more often than not. The food was okay, but nothing I would go back for. The restaurant is nice inside and that's my biggest positive.Appetizer - tried the Vintage Bao Buns. These were okay. Nothing amazing. The meat was a bit dry and it made it way chewier than it should have been.I had the Scottish Salmon with Teriyaki sauce and my wife had the Ribeye Steak. Now the salmon was good but there is way better in town (Pappadeaux) where you get more salmon for your money. The steak was okay, but really missed not having salt at the table. With how inattentive the waitress was we never got a chance to ask for it. The sweet mashed potatoes were a bit of a disappointment. We split a dessert and I don't even remember what it was it really didn't stand out. Not having salt at the table is a bit of a pet peeve of mine and with the service and lackluster food we wouldn't be back. It really was a disappointment.

Very nice place. Service was good but this was the first time we were there for lunch and I hate to say it was overpriced and not that good. The wedge salad was salty and the Caesar salad was good but I added chicken and it was extremely dry , the green chili stew was a combination of green chili stew and tortilla soup,the beef appetizer was $27 which I don't mind but the beef was spread on butter thin with lots of greens on top so it was like we got a third salad. I have been here for dinner and the food has been amazing. I was extremely disappointed this visit

Recently I was invited to attend dinner with friends at this restaurant. Although I had been to places close by, I had never noticed this place. It's on the NE corner of a "strip mall" area. There is nothing that draws your attention to it - besides its name over the doors. I was in for a surprise. As I stepped in through the front doors I felt like I had stepped through a time & elegance warp. It immediately reminded me of the elegant restaurants my Father used to take us to around the country. And this one was in Albuquerque, NM - he would have loved it! So . . . gold metal for ambiance!Service was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'll give them points for the fact that it was the middle of the afternoon and we were a large group. Only one server was (available?) to take care of us. She did a good job, but could have used a little assistance. We were so busy talking to each other (and were not in a hurry) that it wasn't probably noticed by anyone but me. Bronze here.Food & wine definitely passed with flying colors. They had one of my favorite wines (Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc, so I was happy. All the meals around the table seemed to be more than satisfactory. I heard comments of "We need to come back here again so I can try the '**' next time. Only have room for one lunch." I will happily come back again and try some of the other great sounding menu items. Of course, I will have more Kim Crawford sb next time. No reason to experiment with great wine. And, who knows, I may find a perfect dish too. Definitely Silver.

Had a reservation at 7:15. Was seated on time. Didn't order drinks, didn't order apps, didn't order soup or salad, just ordered my meal. After waiting for 45 minutes, the waitress FINALLY offered us bread. Is bread not offered for every table? Why would you not instantly offer bread service. Food finally showed at 8:08. Almost an hour after I ordered. Oh and they were not busy. Trash management. Avoid this place

Our server was wonderful and everyone was friendly. We really enjoyed the mussels and chowder but would pass on the meat (filet). Maybe would go back for happy hour during Paseo traffic but at the price point and quality we'd rather to Vernon's or Monte Carlo. The ambiance was nice and the bar looked interesting. This is a pass for me. But I'm glad we tried it.

Tried Vintage 423 for lunch today. My wife had the Eggs and I, 2 over medium eggs, bacon, hash browns, sourdough toast. The meal came accompanied by a side of green chile (excellent), red chile and a biscuit style gravy. Yummmmm! My daughter had the Club Sandwich with onion rings. Turkey, ham, bacon, avocado on toast. Well played Vintage. I went for the Prine Rib sandwich with fries and BAM it was delicious. Lunch was great and we will return to give the dinner menu a run.

Our waitress Eleanor was exceptional and really added to the enjoyment of our meal. The ambiance here is great. The food... not impressed, except for the crème brûlée. The zucchini fritters were okay, but the sauce greatly improved their flavor. The grilled shihitos peppers with soy sauce was plentiful and tasty. The linguine carbonara was really dense and heavy and hard to make it through the plate of it. Saved space for dessert. My dinner partner had surf and turf with a huge lobster tail and a small chunk of steak. The square of cheesy potatoes was overcooked and over spiced. The asparagus was fine. The cocktails were well prepared , but pricy like everything in this place. Dinner for 2 was almost $250, and I did not even have a cocktail, just iced tea.Now I can check this place off my list of restaurants to eat in in Albuquerque. We will probably spend our money elsewhere next time.

Came out of town for a bachelorette party and we made a reservation at 8pm. As the rest of the party is walking in the door they tried to say we could not be seated until everyone was here. They then said our table was almost ready. 15 mins later they said the table we're waiting on just ordered dessert and they did not know how much longer it would be because they arrived late to their reservation. After 30 mins and waiting for the manager to speak to us, they said there were no other table options as 7 parties walked past us and immediately got seated. We asked for the manager again, he would not come talk to us and told the hostess to offer us a free bottle of champagne. The hostess said they would make sure we got fast service since we were 40 mins past our reservation and had other places to be. Once we were seated, we still didn't get our food for over 45 mins. We tried to talk to the manager and he literally ran away from us then would not walk by our table again. Not once did he stop by our table to apologize or welcome us to the restaurant. Finally checked the reviews here and the 3 stars make total sense. Management needs to be replaced and more servers need to be hired.
