    A small, quiet, and charming restaurant. Everything was delicious, perhaps because they share the kitchen with the always excellent Cholon.

    The new owners are working hard and most of what we loved about PPV is still there. All my favorite dishes are still on the menu and our food was great-just as expected. Updates include leather notebook covers for the menu, table lights that set the right ambiance but let you see the menu and your food, and a whole page of new items with a focus on protein including seafood, pork and lamb. Wine selection about the same-OK but not much. Preferred the old home baked twists rather than the standard French bread everyone serves. Only fail was rock hard butter!

    Everything was great, we had fun, good wine, great dessert and great service. As usual we ordered the chicken parm for sharing and it came out really fast and I felt like it was either a bit cold, old or something was a bit off with it. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good as it usually is. I also really miss the crab panzanella salad....a lot.
