   Ambiance was amazing and the drinks were good. However, I did not enjoy where they sat us at. After asking to be moved to a different location we were denied with no explanation. They were also out of the shrimp pasta. This wouldn’t be my first choice if I were to come back.

   Vu is in need of a facelift. It’s only been in business for a few years and the seating in the bar area needs repair/replacing. Also not many food choices for such a high end area. The pat down before entering is quite off putting as well. I believe because it is mostly visited by a certain demographic the security practices are quite strenuous in comparison to other parts of the city where a different demographic frequent. If upscale is where Vu tends to stay (as it seems with pricing) then please offer more for the price and cater to a more upscale audience. This place used to be amazing! Can’t believe how it’s changed in such a short amount of time.

   I had an absolute blast celebrating my 30th birthday! I highly recommend this spot it’s amazing. I can’t wait for summer to roll around so I can hit the rooftop and turn up some more!

   The food and drinks were good, although very overpriced. Our server was very attentive.

   Had a Sunday evening reservation that was confirmed by restaurant twice. When we got there the restaurant was not opened and I have not been refunded my deposit.

   Everything was amazing. I just needed a bit more seasonings on the fish.

    The ambiance was nice, but I wish the customer service had matched. I had high expectations for this place after reading the FAQ on their website. The food wasn't bad, but the dessert was disappointing. I was served a hard cold, old cake, and while they didn't charge me for it, that didn't make the experience any better. I was really looking forward to dessert. The waitress seemed more aggravated than anything, which was a bit annoying. Would I go again? Probably just once, hoping for a better experience. I do like the setup. The music gets loud sometimes- there should've announcement when that is about to happen or do it gradually.
