   Been eating here for decades, always excellent food and service. The big problem has become that the restaurant is now kept uncomfortably cold. Most everybody is wearing coats and jackets and diners are asking to change tables to be out of the draft. They actually have their air conditioning cranked up on high when outside temp is 50 degrees. We asked both our server and Chris the manager to turn the AC off or at least lower it, both said they would but it never happened. The lounge/bar area adjacent is at least 10 degrees warmer and quite comfortable. Is this a ploy to keep diners from staying too long or are they accommodating the staff that are moving about working? Is the lounge area warmer to sell more drinks? Whatever the case may be this is unacceptable and making an otherwise pleasant dining experience very unenjoyable. This will be a deal-breaker for us to return. I was wearing a jacket but my hands were ice cold as I left the restaurant.

   Quality keeps going downhill while prices keep going up.

   Delectible : something that is highly pleasing or delicious. Roasted red pepper tomato bisque soup topped with roasted basil for flavorful texture and color. Compliments to Nick for this evenings’ special soup creation and according to Eli, it can only get better with a sourdough roll for complete enjoyment. She’s right! My favorite specialty drink, especially for the holidays, O’Reilly’s specialty stinger ( you have to like sweet, it has a hint of Grand Marnier) Over-and-over the Chilean sea bass with lemon risotto still my favorite. The Prix Fixe $70 includes choice of soup or salad (you also have a choice of salad type) Appetizer: spicy almonds, olives, cheese, Delicious varieties of bread and butter, main entree, it doesn’t stop there, a choice of dessert, and coffee with chocolate spoons, biscotti’s dipped in white or dark chocolate!! Enviable Desired or sought after (By other restaurants in the area) The experience is created by a great work ethic and a calm exterior in the mist of chaotic scenarios and it takes extraordinary people that we find in all the eating Venus here at VV but especially at The Black & Blue Steakhouse. These are the people that strive to make our evening so enjoyable. This also extends to the morning cafe team that serves us our morning coffee and scrumptious muffins and delicious breakfast entrees. It’s food paired with a warm sense of hospitality. Wishes for a Merry Christmas to Chris the manager, Eli, Tim, Nick & O’Reilly. The Cafe: Tyler, Miguel, John, Erin & Cordell

   What an excellent evening I really appreciate the staff welcoming me and my husband for his 50th bday. They even gave him a bday card. The ambiance and the food was amazing. This was his first time at the restaurant and he loved it. Thank you so much to all staff from the time we arrived and checked in until we left.
