    This was one of my favorite restaurants I’ve been too in the southeast PA area, Philly and media included. The food came out extremely fast and was fine dining quality with unique dishes. The beef tartare, lobster crepes, duck entre, and fried cheesecake were all amazing. They also accommodated our 1 year old daughter with a high chair.

    My wife and I split one of everything on the small plates menu: every dish was delicious. Will be sad to see it go.

    Charming small space with friendly and attentive service.The menu options are somewhat limited but the execution of the dishes was very good.They feature a nice variety of wines by the class and interesting cocktail options. VVWBB is definitely worth a visit although it is pricey.

    Google has an outdated menu listed and seating chart is also incorrect. Went for our Anniversary expecting seared scallops, beef wellington, pear or watermelon salad, and or crab cakes..Only for none of them to be on the menu. It's a small place and was disappointed of the options not being available. Underwhelmed.

    The menu is very limited and expensive. I suggest to broaden the menu and also offer specials.

    Food & service great!! It’s a small space. On cold nights, the door opens and the tables by the front get some fresh cold air. Highly recommend a reservation.
