We dined at the restaurant on 12/12/24 to celebrate our friend’s birthday. Tabitha, the hostess, and Tori, our server, were both excellent—they provided attentive and friendly service. However, it seemed like the restaurant might have been understaffed, as there didn’t appear to be enough employees to handle the crowd efficiently. One downside to our experience was the food runner. He approached our table with one hand in his pocket and came across as disengaged, almost as if he didn’t want to be there. It was a bit off-putting and didn’t match the otherwise positive atmosphere created by the rest of the staff.

We sat for 15 minutes before anyone came to the table, so it wasn’t a great start. However, this was not the fault of the server, Toni, who is an amazing lady with an obvious love for food and who provides an amazing experience. As soon as Toni came to the table, it became a great experience. Thank you, Toni. The food was great and prepared with care. Everything tastes fresh. Ambience is lovely. Really great addition to the VB food scene.
