A warm, welcoming atmosphere at Vee Vee is set by a lot of cozy wood, warm colors and art. The warmth continued with our server, who was friendly and gave good advice when asked. As a group of four, we were able to try many dishes, and all were quite tasty. Most were mildly or moderately spicy, none strongly so; all were very flavorful. Personally, I enjoyed the beef birria tacos and the street corn the most. As a dessert lover, I also appreciated having several good choices to share as an end the meal. The beverage menu offered good options for wine, beer and cider. Including our two desserts, we shared 9 dishes among four of us, and left feeling quite sated. I felt the cost of the meal was quite reasonable for the overall high quality of food and drink. The pacing of the meal was just right. We’ll be back!

This was an overall great experience. Service and food were great and the seating comfortable. When we arrived we were struck by the very high noise level which sometimes makes it hard for a conversation. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening. All the staff was very friendly, cheerful and efficient. Thank you!
