    My first time at V&F. Staff and service was outstanding. I had the salmon BLT and an Irish coffee. BLT was delish! Freshly made and side option of the southwest Caesar salad was perfect. Looking forward to a next visit and trying some seafood.

    This was my second special occasion family dinner there - - and it didn't disappoint. Everything was indeed special - - the service, the drinks and yes especially the food. We went the "explorer" menu route which we highly recommend for a group so you can try so many more dishes. From appetizers to desserts all were delicious and created quite a buzz at our table. As my wife said, "my taste buds were dancing all night long."

    Space is beautiful. Some food was great like the roasted oysters and the steak. Other items not so good like the crudo and French fries. Wine list is extremely poor. Place was on the empty side which did not add to the ambience. Couch seating was cozy. Not sure if I will be back.

    It was an office holiday luncheon. It took a few minutes for the waitress to stop by and take our order, but after that slight delay, everything was excellent. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I plan to return.
