Reviews
The service was outstanding. Our server skillfully managed the tight 1.5-hour table turnover, ensuring we kept pace with the kitchen while still enjoying our meal. The hostess, equally adept, finessed a last-minute reservation with grace—commendable touches that showcased attentive hospitality.
However, the food itself was a mixed bag. Each small plate impressed visually but largely disappointed in flavor, with the exception of the butternut squash soup shots. These provided a sip of autumn warmth, boasting rich, creamy textures and well-balanced spices. Unfortunately, they were served in glass shot glasses that became too hot to handle, delaying enjoyment.
The risotto lacked the depth of butternut squash flavor and was under-seasoned, making for a forgettable dish. The braised short ribs, served with polenta, failed to justify their price point. A longer braise could have developed more robust flavors, but the portion size and execution fell short.
The Brussels sprouts dish was similarly flawed—overwhelmed by the tangy bitterness of unsweetened pears and pomegranate seeds, with Greek yogurt exacerbating the imbalance. Only the cod stood out as a highlight, with impeccable preparation and flavor, though its $21 price tag demanded excellence.
The restaurant’s aesthetics are well-curated, creating a sophisticated dining environment. However, one can’t help but wonder if the prime location is inflating prices and detracting from the emphasis on culinary quality.
While the presentation of the dishes was professional, the flavors felt secondary, leaving diners to rely on ambiance to justify the premium cost. Va de Vi has potential but needs to refine its focus on delivering standout flavors to match its visual and atmospheric appeal.
We ordered many dishes, like the apple persimmon salad, ricotta gnocchi, lechon and short rib of course! Food and drinks were delicious and we would definitely return. There are many options around the area but this place was exactly what we were looking for, smaller portions with the affordability to order lots! Good quality, seasonal food 🙂
The food is consistently outstanding. The menu is wonderfully eclectic with international flair, offering something exciting and unique every time. Whether you’re sharing small plates or enjoying a beautifully crafted entrée, every dish is thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. It’s the kind of place where you can confidently let the chef surprise you—and they always deliver.
And I have to give a huge shoutout to my favorite waiter, Alex! He is always incredibly attentive and expeditious, making sure everything flows seamlessly. His professionalism and warm personality elevate the entire experience. He anticipates needs before you even have to ask and makes every guest feel like a VIP.
I love bringing my clients and business partners here for lunch. It’s the perfect setting for meaningful conversations over exceptional food, and it never fails to impress. Va de Vi consistently provides an excellent experience from start to finish. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
