Vintage Tavern
5.0
Chef Sam McGann's menu is "seasonally Southern," pairing old favorites with an upscale spin. Jumbo Lump Crab Remoulade with Basil Marinated Zucchini, Cucumbers & Tomatoes is a tasty starter. The Taste of Southern Goodness is a sampler platter containing country ham, Bennett's Creek sausage, green tomato relish, pate and deviled eggs, sized to share. Southside Virginia Brunswick Stew is a surprisingly large portion of that old favorite, saddled with a fluffy country ham biscuit.
Cider Brined Grilled Pork Chops with Warm Molasses Glazed Vidalia Onions, Carolina Corn Relish and Zataraines Creole Mustard Sauce are juicy and tender. There's also Sautéed Soft Shell Crabs and Grilled Bison Rib Eye with Buttermilk Chive Potatoes, Braised Swiss Chard and Brandy Peppercorn "Gravy."
Bourbon Bread Pudding with Whipped Cream & Whiskey Sauce, Warm Pecan Tart with Buttermilk Ice Cream, Watermelon Sherbet and Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler are some of the desserts offered.
Vintage Tavern is an elegant and relaxed upscale dining experience that is sure to satisfy both the eyes and the palate. The fresh regional foods are sourced locally, using sustainable farming practices when possible, and an adherence to this quality is reflected in the price.
