    We got a gift card for our anniversary and we had such a great time! Happy hour every day until 7! Had the Cajun fettuccine and it was magical! House salad was also delicious as well as the addition of the chocolate cake. Will definitely be coming back!

    There for a birthday. First seated us right next to person vacuuming floor. Then staff was noisily stacking plates on buffet table three feet away. Workers joking & shoving around each other in play. It was 2:30, place was empty, yet seated us in the middle of noise and chaos. We asked to be moved. They took us to the other side of the room - better. Placed our orders. Salads were good. My cannelloni was room temp warm. I like my meals to be served hot. Chicken spidini was good, Angel hair pasta with it had zero flavor/seasoning. Bread was really dry in the basket. No mention of a happy birthday. We’ve enjoyed meals here in the past. Will avoid 2:30 on Sundays in the future. Disappointing experience.

    Service: Excellent service! Polite, knowledgeable, attentive staff. Everyone was great! Food: Slightly disappointing but I was comparing it to Garozzo's or Jasper's. I would say the food was more on par with Olive Garden. The pizza crust (as an appetizer) tasted like a pie-crust and over-powered the toppings. Value: Sadly, the value proposition was not there. We paid what you would expect to pay at Garozzo's or Jasper's but we received Olive Garden food. My intent is not to be negative on V's. I'm trying to be as fair as possible. The staff was superb!

    Dinner with hubby was fabulous. Food was delicious as always, service was very pleasant as always. We were served quickly and everything came out perfect. Quiet and somewhat romantic atmosphere. Very nice evening. We will be going back in March for our anniversary. Prefer sitting in a booth in the back instead of near the front but it was still very comfortable.
