Vintage On 5th - Crystal River, Florida

This was a great find when we were staying in Crystal River. We booked a table on the day ( they called us back after we left a message). Our server Michael was very attentive and informative. The food was great. The starter portions were generous. The main course sizes just right. The desserts were delicious too, especially the chocolate tuxedo cake. The setting is intimate with dim lighting. Almost European style.

One of my favorite restaurants in crystal river. Always great food and experience. Make sure to get reservations in advance because seating is limited especially for larger parties.

We decided to go here to celebrate a birthday. I called the night before to make a reservation and reached the voicemail. No more than 15 minutes later someone called and I was able to book for the following evening. We had to wait a few minutes for our reservation. As we waited we were able to look around at various awards , pictures and art . Once we were seated we decided to order the Caribbean Jerked Shrimp appetizer. It was delicious! They give you crostini to sop up the sauce the shrimp sets in. The depth flavor was just wonderful. The dish was not too spicy for those who are sensitive to spice. We both chose salads with the house vinaigrette which was tasty but the acid starts hitting hard after a few bites. I ordered the lamb chops MR with risotto and green beans. I can't tell you how good these were. I had to stop myself from picking them up and gnawing on the bones. The risotto was pretty good. I know it can be challenging to cook, the flavor was there. My spouse ordered the ribeye. The meat was cooked perfectly. It had a nice char to the outside and a wonderful juicy flavor to it. The sides were small red potatoes and green beans. We couldn't eat all of our food. The portions were fair for the price and the presentation and quality. The only thing that would have made the evening perfect would have been an espresso, latte, to have with dessert which we passed on because of that reason. I would highly recommend this establishment for a higher end dinner. The dress code is Florida casual which is perfectly fine. When the food is that good who cares what you wear? Just don't be naked. Thank you.

We made a reservation for today and was the best experience ever. First, I walked in and was greeted and guided to the table that my friends were sitting. Michael our server recommended the best wine in the house. He explained all the itens on the menu, he even cut us the bread and our salad. Five stars experience!!! The food was delicious. We will definitely come back soon and ask for Michael for sure. Thank you so much!

Joe was a good server, and the food was excellent! We started with the she crab soup and ahi tuna, both were incredible! Then for dinner he had the Scottish Salmon on Gouda cheese grits and I had the Chicken Scallopini piccata. I added a side of sauteed spinach which helped balance the Scallopini. Then for dessert we had the creme brulee and the lemoncello cake. All in all a very fine dinner!

I’m so glad my mother and I ended up here. It was one of the best dinners that I have ever had. The pork belly was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Flavors with it were so delicious. I had the ribeye which was a perfectly cooked medium rare and such a nice seasoning and grill taste. We also ordered the clams, crab soup, salad, fried tomatoes, ahi tuna… we couldn’t decide on one or two things so we ordered it all and it was all just as excellent as the others.

Along with the excellent food, we were greeted by the owner when we arrived and you could tell he is a genuinely nice guy who wants to provide excellent service and food. We had a great chat with him after our meal. Thank you so much, we look forward to returning every time we are back in town.
