We provide a dining experience with a focus in providing excellent customer service, while creating a welcoming upbeat environment for people to gather and enjoy thoughtful, delicious food and beverage. At Vestal, we honor both tradition and innovation. We believe that food taste better when sourced from local vendors and artisans, is prepared by hand in house, and cooked over hot hard wood coals. We better serve our community by sourcing responsibly and implementing sustainable practices. Our bar program is built around flavor with little regard paid to name and branding of the spirit used.

    Excellent atmosphere and service. Steak was cooked to perfection. Best dessert I can remember having in a long time. I would definitely recommend for a date night.

    Our server, Joseph was great! He was very knowledgeable of the whole menu, including the drinks. The food was fantastic! We had everything…appetizers, salad, entrees and dessert. The drinks were also great. It is a bit pricy but worth the money spent for a great date night!
