BackDoor Bistro and Wine Bar - Vacaville (CA)

5 /5 Ryan: Fresh food and upscale dining experience! The dining area is quaint and adds to the ambiance. The food is priced accordingly to the quality of ingredients and I would say the drinks were maybe a bit on the higher priced end. It was around $300 for 2 people but we did order a few drinks, an app and both had the special which was $64 each. The pork belly as an app was amazing and very rich and light at the same time which is very hard to come by! The the 14 oz ribeye was just as good and also very flavorful and fresh. The chutney on top was also one of a kind and everything from the salad and duck fat fried potatoes paired perfectly. The servers were also very attentive and present which added to the great experience. I would recommend this place over Makse down the street for better quality food and a “lighter” meal. Perfect for a date night and can’t wait to go again!

5 /5 Matti Smith: The food for me was delicious. I had the shrimp and grits. The mixture of flavors was delightful, the tomatoes playing against the slight heat of the spices. The feta is a great touch. The shrimp was fantastic, soft, flavorful, and very fresh. It is a little noisy as it is a small dining area and the walls are bare. My wife didnt like the lamb saying it was too raw and didnt taste enough like lamb. I liked it.

5 /5 Erika Kelsh: BackDoor Bistro & Wine Bar is such a cozy, welcoming spot — the kind of place that makes you want to linger over every bite and glass of wine. The atmosphere is warm and intimate without feeling crowded, perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. The food is absolutely delicious — fresh ingredients, beautifully plated, and full of flavor. I ordered the Scallop Agnolotti and it was cooked perfectly. The menu has a great variety, and you can tell there’s real care put into every dish. The wine selection is amazing, and the staff really knows their stuff — they’re friendly, attentive, and make great recommendations. I love that it feels upscale yet relaxed, not pretentious at all. Overall, it’s one of my favorite restaurants in Vacaville — a true local treasure! I’ll definitely be back soon for another meal and a glass (or two) of wine

5 /5 John Romie: Weve come here for years. This is by far the best Vacaville has to offer in the way of "quality" "gourmet" food. Yeah, weve always had our complaints.....kinda noisy and, while the food is great, the menu seldom changes so, if one comes here often, it can be a bit too much "same as last time." That said, we went there tonight and, indeed, the menu has changed and the new additions (roast chicken and trout, in particular) are great! Now, if they could just make these kinds of changes more often..... Service is wonderful - all of the workers are great (okay, Sam is our favorite, but you cant lose with anyone)! Of course(!), well keep coming back - like a bit of Napa in Vacaville, without the drive or the crowds. ALL GOOD!
