Had a delicious meal here. The boneless Coq was delicious. Loved that they were a little crispy. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Filet mignon is a favourite and didn’t disappoint. Cooked perfectly and the side of garlic and Camembert gratin which broccoli and green beans were perfect accompaniment. Was too full for dessert but the other all had mouse, crème brûlée and banoffee and everyone loved theirs. Pornatar Martinis were so good and a glass of Sauvignon blanc really nice too! Perfect way to kick off our Christmas festivities

Top drawer food at an incredible price in a super location. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a casual steak dinner

The surf and turf was gorgeous, thw lobster was not overly done in butter like most places, cooked so well - we were really impressed especially round the busy Christmas season, the med rare filet steaks were crusted on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside again super impressed, the sides were top notch (fries, mc & cheese and garlic mushrooms) ... starters were so large and the tastes were gorgeous crab 10/10. Desserts were fabulous and presented Powell. The staff tho, from start to finish were AMAZING, they really make the place what it is, from the bar man, to the waiters, all were so good, defo will be back for the surf & tuff alone. Thanks all for a fabulous birthday meal for my hubby.

A truly amazing and authentic Italian experience. Great food, fantastic service and a warm atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

I recently visited VCC and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Although I myself felt underdressed, I immediately felt welcomed. The staff were more than pleasant, with the hostess introducing herself as I entered, it made the environment feel familiar. I was brought into the main lounge, it felt intimate but the room was full of energy, with happenings between romantics, friends and colleagues. I was sat in perfect view of the bar, it was a joy to watch the bartender work, by far the most competent mixologist I have seen. I can say the same for all the staff, everything moved fluidly with all smiles and courtesy checks. On top of that, you get very good value for your drinks and from what I saw, food too. I had the Original Milk Punch (recommend to anyone) and the 'Single Elix' (for people who like their drinks strong! And a little bitter). I'm not fortunate enough to have a space like this close to home, so whenever I get the chance, I will be back. Thanks again VCC
