I looked up old photos of the building online and saw that the new owners changed very little about the outside of the building. I am happy they preserved your family's legacy.Jeff Burtkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364366850363177334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448982494421236788.post-69459644609179449902014-11-20T07:07:59.629-05:002014-11-20T07:07:59.629-05:00 Great to hear all the good comments on Vinsett... Great to hear all the good comments on Vinsetta Garage. My father Mike Kurta, Sr. was the founder and I owned and ran the place for 30 years from 1958 from 1989 with my wife Margaret. When it closed in 2010 we were sure it would be demolished, but angels Curt Catallo and Keith Crain appeared and gave it a new life. Thank you both. <br /> Mike KurtaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813545083655180062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448982494421236788.post-2991618769423989002014-11-04T06:31:56.298-05:002014-11-04T06:31:56.298-05:00I know people who have been able to get in during ...I know people who have been able to get in during the weekend for lunch or for a dinner on a weeknight. <br /><br />I compared old pics of the garage to the way it looks now, and there isn't too much of a difference on the outside. As for the license plates, I did not notice those, but I was so focused on the menu and my food that I might have missed them if they still have them.Jeff Burtkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364366850363177334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448982494421236788.post-67401095614635982532014-11-03T08:50:49.435-05:002014-11-03T08:50:49.435-05:00I've been wanting to go back to this place for...I've been wanting to go back to this place for ages...ever since I used to take my cars into Vinsetta Garage for service! I've tasted the Mac 'n' cheese a couple of times at Forgotten Harvest's Champagne Cruise, but haven't gotten a chance to get back to the restaurant yet (like you, we tried once at the insistence of friends to get in on a weekend night and were told it was a 2-hour wait). We're been wanting to go back to try for lunch on, say, a Thursday at 2 p.m., but our schedule just hasn't cooperated yet! Do they still have the big collection of vintage license plates they used to display at the garage? I think they had one from just about every year since the garage had opened (like 1912 I think...)
