The Vintner’s Tavern - Chino

Heard about this place from friends and we were not disappointed. Great food and service. Suggest making a reservation. Small space.

Only one of its kind within a few city limits, so it’s a “Go To” for good foundation (old school) cocktails, modern as well, and fresh food. Bartenders have good pours. Staff was great, attentive, drinks/food were straightforward, pricing is on point. Place could use some art or decor to counter the black walls. The only decor was the Wi-Fi router and cluster of wires above the kitchen door. If “Rustic Tavern Minimalist” is the idea then they are dead on. Im also aware they are building a wine tasting room next door. Nice touch. It’s a good spot. Give it a shot. I’ll be returning.

We ordered the pork chop, candied speck hamburger, and mango sorbet. Everything was delicious, and our server was very friendly. Their recommendations for the menu, beer, and dessert were extremely helpful.

For the main course, I had the paella while my son ordered the steak with fries. Both dishes were very flavorful, and we also shared an amazing Caesar salad. For dessert, my son chose the panna cotta and I had the bread pudding, which was large enough to share and absolutely delicious. Although the panna cotta was quite good, we both preferred the bread pudding. As a lovely gesture, they also surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate a special occasion in my life, which I thought was very kind of them.

The food, drinks, and service were excellent. I truly enjoyed the ambiance!
