text: It pains me to write this but I am no longer a fan of Vintner GrillnnMy husband and I were seated a nice table for our anniversary dinner last night We ordered a couple of glasses of wine and decided on an appetizer In the past we have ordered cheese plates but we decided to ordernnCrispy calamari with haricot verts lemon and curry aioli nnI wish we did not order it It was rubbery and the aioli had a very strange flavor After eating two rings of calamari I had enough of the rubber Surprisingly enough the waiter never asked how the appetizer was nnBut he did come over to ask what we wanted as a main course I am guessing there were not any specials of the night since it was never offerednnI orderednSeared sea scallops with saffron risotto english peas fennel pea sprouts and roasted pepper relish nThe scallops were MASSIVE and very good But the risotto tasted like a box of ricearoni yuck The roasted pepper relish that was on top of each scallop was unnecessary as it caused the inside of the scallops to turn pink which then makes you think could this be raw insidennMy husband orderednDurham ranch wagyu sirloin with parsnip puree baby vegetables and balsamicport reduction nHe said it was good but the wagyu at TBones at Red Rock if you can believe it was MUCH better In fact any wagyu that he has had anywhere else was better than thisnnWe ordered our dessert to gonWhich was a trifle with granola strawberries and pound cake It was yummynnThere are restaurants in the area that have better food the ambiance at Vintner Grill is terrific but that is what you are paying fornnUnfortunately I am no longer a fan and will not be visiting anymore Such a shame since I live about five minutes away
