    Our party of four, celebrating a birthday for brunch. We all had an outstanding experience. We had 1:15 reservations for a Sunday brunch so the main crowd had dispersed. We had great service and the food and drinks came at our leisure. The table shared the pork belly hash as an appetizer and the plate was wiped clean. Entrees were two mushroom omelets, a smash burger and a prime rib french dip. Everything got shared around the table and there was nothing but smiling tongues. The highlight of the meal was the dessert of warm homemade Apple Crisp....with na candle! Four very happy and sated people walked out 1.5 hours later. GREAT MEAL!

    Our server was awesome! Aleya Michele made our night very enjoyable. The pumpkin soup was a home run and the gnocchi dinner was super tasty.

    The staff is so friendly and helpful. The food is very good. The drinks were fabulous. The chef makes hot sauce you can purchase (Delco Dudes) that is excellent. Brunch is fun, looking forward to uber-ing to enjoy a wine flight meal soon.

    Our server was attentive and friendly, as was the manager on duty. The decor, thank goodness, has been upgraded so VV is now an attractive and welcoming place. I really like the little table lights as evening falls. Menu was just the right length, with offerings that were well=chosen. Everything we ordered had an outstanding flavor profile. We will be coming back often!
