Vintage Year was originally opened as the Chophouse at Vintage Year in 1984, reopened in its current incarnation in 2016 by new owners Jud Blount and Derk Lyerly. The restaurant, which is helmed by executive chef Eric Rivera, transforms a former gourmet lunch spot attached to a specialty wine shop into a full-service dining destination that has entertained the likes of Johnny Cochran and John F. Kennedy, Jr., throughout its tenure. It has been acclaimed in international publications such as The New York Times, Forbes, and USA Today as one of the American South's top dining destinations, awarded top honors from culinary institutions like Wine Spectator and OpenTable for its high-quality menus. Fresh hand-cut meats, prime Gulf seafood, and outstanding wines and spirits take center stage at lunch and dinner throughout the week in a romantic dining room area.
