The food is best described as creative American, and we feature a well-curated wine and craft beer selection. The vibe is casual, and the menu modest but inventive.

    We had an excellent birthday dinner during Chef Valentine's residency at Vee Vee. The red snapper was phenomenal and lived up to the hype, as were the fried steak and butterscotch pudding. Service was warm and welcoming the minute we walked in, and the cozy ambience was perfect for a date night.

    Quick! Get here in the next week before the guest chef leaves! His dishes and flavors are amazing-everything we ordered was difficult and delicious. Reservations are a must — it is very small. Fortunately service is excellent. Pretty noisy but friendly. Alcohol is beer and wine only. Literally every dish was beyond expectations.

    2nd visit to Vee Vee in two months and wouldn’t be surprised if we’re back then again soon. Fantastic food from the new Chef Valentine serving up the most delectable Caribbean-flavored fare. Short ribs, jerk chicken, fish tacos, Jamaican empanadas, shrimp ceviche - all outstanding and done with inventive twists. Restaurant is cozy and warm, service outstanding. Go!

    Let me say that the JERK CHICKEN was OUTSTANDING! The rest of our choices were all good to very good but nothing like that Jerk Chicken.. Service was pretty good and the window nook we had was very nice and had its own heater which was more than sufficient to hold back the cold from the windows....

    We've been fans of Vee Vee for many years, but this was our first crack at the new "Black Cat" menu. The ribs were good, not great. But the red snapper rundown was out of this world--fish perfectly poached in a rich, spicy broth. We'll be back to try the rest of the menu! Service and vibe were great, as always.

    We hadn’t been here since the menu change but we enjoyed the small plates. The snapper and the beef were especially delicious but all the dishes were good. We would go back again!
