Food and wine were excellent. Service was exceptional. I had short rib risotto which was great. Brought friends from out of town for their first visit and they loved it. We will all be back.

The Chicken Bacon Jam pizza was good, not great. The Burrata (sp?) cheese was dolloped on and covered the chicken and jam, obliterating the flavors of those two. I love their pizza crust. Service was a little slow, but VV seems to be chronically understaffed. However, the staff is long term, so we have gotten to know them and enjoy their service. I am a Wine Club member, so the meal is usually quite reasonable.

Busy time past 1 pm. Been there frequently but service slower than usual this time. Usual Favorite shrimp skewer was served overcook and lukewarm and was disappointing. Shrimp scampi, coconut shrimp, dragon shrimp served hot and it was satisfying experience. Too bad they have no shrimp Rangoon.
