3 Sisters pressed sandwich at The Vintage
For an impromptu date night downtown, my husband and I stepped into The Vintage just in time for their last call for food. We ordered quickly and then took a seat outside to enjoy the balmy night air. The Vintage has a delicious assortment of pressed sandwiches and flatbreads.
I ordered the 3 Sisters sandwich, which had sweet fig spread, melty Brie, salty capi ham and bright arugula. The flavors combined to produce a luscious bite of food that I will not soon forget. The sandwich was filling and accompanied with perfect truffle fries.
My husband ordered The Vintage flatbread, a classic flatbread with marinara, pepperoni, tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. Simple but quality ingredients gave it a savory, pizza-like moment. The Vintage may have great drinks and coffee, but the food is also tasty.
