The names of the restaurants that I will not hesitate to go to for a Birthday or Anniversary are a shortlist. Vintage is at the... top of that list. It is an intimate setting where you are within earshot of chef Tim Marotto and the Waitress/Hostess, Vanessa,and close enough to hear the sizzling of the pans while your meal is being prepared. Chef Tim Knows his food. He knows where itcame from, who grew it, caught it, and how to turn all those things into a verifiable work of art on a plate. My most recentvisit to Vintage was my girlfriend's birthday. She got the Pot Roast of Broad Brook Acres Beef, Scalloped potatoes with MysticCheese Co., "Finback" Cheese, and with an Espagnole Sauce on the roast. I was lucky, and she let me have a bite of her roast.The sauce complimented the taste of the beef perfectly, balancing the nuances of the grass feed beef while adding robustnessthat was not overpowering. The Scalloped potatoes were a delicately gooey yumminess that can only compare to a fun summerafternoon. I also had the Scalloped Potatoes with My Aged Long Island Duck which came with a Kohlrabi orange mustard glaze. Duckis one of those rare dishes that, when done correctly, is one of the most decadent and delightful meals you can have. If doneincorrectly, you're eating cardboard. When done masterfully, Duck is, as Chef Tim crafted it, fulfilling and richly flavorful.The Duck's skin was crispy with a lite orange zest rub. The kohlrabi orange mustard glaze was a sweet tang that pairedseamlessly with the sweet heartiness of a juicy duck breast. She had a wonderful birthday, and we enjoyed outstanding food!Eating at Vintage is an indulgence that I unreservedly support and fully encourage anyone thinking of going there. Read more
Vintage After Hours food truck yesterday. Wanted to love this, but $14 for very salty halibut & rice patties? Naw
I had a braised pork stew today at the Vintage After Hours food truck today. It was delicious from the 1st bite to the last. ... What a wonderful introduction to Chef Tim's fare. They had an "everything good" cookie that I threw in the oven for a fewminutes. I didn't even make it out of the kitchen before eating the whole thing. I look forward to trying out the restaurant.

Fresh ingredients to accomodate food made from scratch. Our waitress was knowledgable and eager to help us with our dietary... needs ( vegetarian and GF). Vintage is a breath of fresh air in Colchester! We will definitely return as their menu changesfrequently with the seasons. Their decor is basic and I am sure they will add a little more decoration as they progress! Belowis the duck egg and biscuit and the dessert of the night. Read more
Our 1st visit not our last! Farm to table! Amazing can't wait to return! Basic menu of taco and burgers and specials! Great... job guys Read more
Farm to table at its finest and my favorite restaurant in the area by far. Whether at the restaurant in Colchester or on the... road with Vintage after hours, Tim and Vanessa never disappoint. I've been many times, but some of my faves include the Cugno'sFarm chicken and dumplings, any and every taco on the menu, any and every burger on the menu (especially the shrimp burger), andanything that uses his beef stock in the winter. If you're looking for perfectly prepared meat with amazing sauces and fresh,local, organic ingredients, you're in the right place. I also love that it's BYOB to save a buck or two. Check out TheVintage. You won't be disappointed. Read more
