    This was our first meal at Quemar. We loved the space and energy. We were welcomed nicely with a complimentary appetizer. Our wobbly table was fixed by our waiter, Jesus, who was very sweet. The restaurant got busier as the evening progressed. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, delicious: loaded yuca, guac, ceviche, chicken al pastore tacos, the carne asada sandwich. The margaritas were yummy. all in all a very pleasurable evening of food!

    We enjoyed everything from ambiance to all the food and wine we ate. The lamb was amazing and it was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the charcuterie board. The paired white and red wine was very delicious. We will be back to try other dishes.

    Top notch steaks, and wide variety of quality seafood. The Kansas City Cut, Bone in Filet, and the Bone in Ribeye are all amazing dry aged steaks I have tried. Their non DA steaks are also amazing. Some of the best Salmon in VB and the stuffed shrimp paired with it were well executed. Good sides. French onion soup!

    We go to Zoe's for special occasions. Our waiter last night recommended a cabernet that was superb, the food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. I found all waiters and staff to be helpful and gracious. It's a lovely VB experience.
