Vee Vee

Came here with a friend who told me who follows the news of award winning chef Valentine Howell. She told me there was a pop-up before and now it found a home at Vee Vee cafe in Jamaica Plain. Absolutely great food. Everything was tasty. Highly recommend the red snapper rundown and dessert. Reasonable pricing Nice atmosphere for catch-up with a couple of friends Accessible by orange line (10 min walk from Green St T Station)

We tried Vee Vee for my birthday dinner and the food was SO good. While the food being amazing, the timing of the dishes to come out could use a bit of work. Because it’s a tapas style, I expected the flow to be pretty solid. We ordered 5 dishes and they all came out at odd timings of one another. I found this especially odd since the restaurant wasn’t busy at all. Maybe 3 tables inside and a handful outside with many many open tables. I also think that Vee Vee is slightly overpriced as two of the tapas items were $35 each. Overall, the food was the highlight.

I hadn’t been to Vee Vee in years, and was so excited to hear about their partnership with Chef Valentine and Black Cat. I’m a HUGE fan of Top Chef, wanted to go support a local Black cheftestant, and to sample an Afro-Caribbean menu. My partner and I LOVED everything we ordered, from the ceviche to the scallops, it was superb! Ella, our server was great, and took good care of us. And then to top it all off, Chef Valentine visited our table (and let me talk his ear off!) The menu is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and it was nice to see such a diverse group of guests in JP. The combination of Vee Vee and Black Cat makes for a perfect date night, dinner with friends, or solo dinner at the bar. I hope Chef Valentine stays on. We will definitely go back soon!

Great spot in jp for American farm to table food. Small menu but everything is great with a good beer and wine selection. We were able to pop in without reservations on a friday

Outdoor dining within three brick walls was really pleasant, and the food was fantastic. 4 heat lamps going and didn't even need a jacket.

My dining experience at Vee Vee was superb from start to finish. Wonderful, friendly service and incredibly delicious food! This restaurant is a must!

ORIGINAL POST 4/27/22: This is one of our favorite restaurants in JP! The menu is limited in size but not limited in flavor - we recently took my parents and they completely agree. We’ve tried a handful of different items over the seasons, but we always find ourselves coming back for the chicken and steak entrees. This is a small restaurant with a comforting vibe, great for a date night or group of four (just make a reservation!). UPDATE 8/27/22: we visited for our anniversary and sat on the new patio. It is absolutely lovely, and our server (Alex) was attentive and brought us a small treat to celebrate! Definitely try to sit outside if there’s availability and the weather is nice, you won’t be disappointed.

Nicely decorated quaint space with an array of tastes on their menu. The Castrelvetrano olives and almond small bites plate had an amazing smokey and salty flavor that was great to savor over. Their Shrimp and Scallop cakes app comes with diced apples that paired well with the chipotle-aoili sauce. For their entre, I went with the first item that caught my eye which happened to be the first thing listed. The smoked chicken ravioli was lovely and had nice flavors from the grana padano cheese, peas and light sauces. The wait staff was friendly and great! Overall lovely experience.

I recently came here after a menu revamp, for Black Cat @ Vee Vee. EXCELLENT meal. My friend and I split several dishes: red snapper crudo, wingz (with the red stripe and magnum bbq sauce), the fried rice, the beef empanada, and two tacos (al pastor and pollo). The tacos were pretty good (flavorful and lots of filling nestled in a double tortilla), but everything else was outstanding. I think our favorite might have been the fried rice, which is saying a lot coming from two Chinese girls. The bbq sauce on the wingz was addictive, and the crudo was fresh and just the right amount of heat from the pepper. The empanada was crisp and light on the inside with juicy beef on the inside and the two sauces it came with were perfect. We couldn't decide between two of the desserts so we got both. The soursop ice cream was so creamy and not too sweet, but the bruñuelo was (to me) the star of the meal. I thought it would be dense since I think it's made of plantains but it was sooooo airy and crispy and the sauce on top was *chefs kiss*. I am literally planning my next visit to try the other half of the menu, including more of their vegetarian options!

Overall i would definitely go back and try even more items on the menu! Ambiance was fine. Service was awkward and a bit on the slower side so 4/5 Beer flight was nice touch but a bit on the warm side Scallops(5/5) Steak(5/5) Ceviche (5/5) Tacos (3/5) fish was amazing but shells were dry Wings (3/5) cooked well and juicy but missing flavor even though they looked very flavorful Pudding dessert (4/5) Plantain dessert (3/5)

Had to come back to add an updated review for the new Black Cat menu at Vee Vee. Same great patio and service, even more amazing food! Everything we tried was delicious, but highlight was the red snapper curry

A delightful dinner tonight! Thoroughly creative layering of delicious flavors! Yummy fried yucca, jack fruit empanadas, birria tacos, street corn, and scallops. Extra bursts of flavor from accompanying sauces and dips. Dessert included scrumptious buñuelos, butterscotch pudding, and Soursop ice cream. Great service. Casual atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Love Vee Vee! Such a great spot. Their new menu is super good. Flavors are unreal. The patio is such a nice vibe too. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to love this place and was excited about the rebrand but I was left so disappointed. I was excited to try the shrimp ceviche but sadly it was out of stock. So I ordered the shrimp tostada instead, which I was sad to see was not another raw dish as this was not made clear. Regardless it was fine, didn't stand out but good size for the price. However the real disappointment was the birria tacos which were completely flavorless. I was really shocked by this as birria is typically very flavorful but I had to take this to go and re-season at home. In addition the consumer was very oily as well. I was sat at the bar and service was great. The patio is really nice and I look forward to trying again, hopefully with better luck.

I was looking for a place in JP with gluten-free options and Vee Vee more than delivered. The inside seemed cozy but we went with a table in their "secret" patio, which is right around the corner and nicely decked out (I applaud restaurants' efforts to convert parking lots into feasible outdoor options at the height of the pandemic). Advise making reservations on the weekend and Thursday-Friday. The menu's pretty limited but that's not a ding in my book if the restaurant can ace the handful of dishes offered (better than a wide spread of mediocre options). I went with the chicken dish. Chicken breast, whenever I cook it at home, always turns into a dry, tough slab, so as it happens, that's usually a restaurant dish that catches my eye. This one was cooked beautifully, with a nice, crispy skin, and I loved the potato gnocchi as a side. Was it mind-blowing, though? I will say, for a chicken dish, the price tag of $31 was fancy steakhouse-level steep. Everyone's reeling from inflation these days but my wallet definitely felt a pinch. That said, the dish was cooked with attention and care. Our waiter made sure to offer suggestions and refill our water glasses. For parking, there's a municipal lot right behind the row of restaurants with lots of 2-hour spaces and free after 6pm.

We enjoyed a beautiful night out in Boston and ended up eating at Vee Vee (luckily) as walk-ins. They gave us a seat by the door, which was appreciated and the service to the food was hitting on all marks. The one thing I hold back from giving a 5 star review on is that we were dying of heat -- it felt like we were eating in a sauna. I'm not sure if it was because they didn't turn on the AC or if we just had an unfortunate seat that wasn't receiving any of that cool air. Either way, I was sweating throughout the entire dinner service and so was my fiancée.

Picked this restaurant on a whim since people seemed to like it and BOY am I glad we did. My siblings and I spent half of the time just taking bites and staring at each other with wide eyes because everything was so mindblowingly good. We ended up using a spoon to devour every last bit of the sauces that came with the yuca dish. Our favorites were the yuca, the aguachile steak, and the shrimp ceviche. Plus, an honorable mention to the butterscotch pudding! Portion sizes are definitely respectable and we ended up only getting 4 dishes (+ dessert) for the 3 of us and being full. However, I wish I had a second stomach so I could devour more. Our server, Ella, was so wonderful and helped us pick some incredible dishes! Overall, service was amazing and it was quiet, cozy, and friendly. This is probably one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in all of Boston now! If you have a chance to go, I highly recommend!

Was excited to try the new menu but was disappointed by the whole experience. We felt rushed by the server and timing of dishes even though it wasn't busy. The food came out so quickly it had me wondering if dishes are premade and waiting to go out rather than being prepared for us specifically. This hunch was reinforced by the temperature at which the food was delivered. Empanadas were cold inside and scallops sat on lukewarm polenta, which we almost sent back. Tacos were the best thing we tried. Atmosphere is meh-- the place needs a facelift. Won't be going back.

If I could give Vee Vee 10 stars, I would! We've been going here for over 10 years and I've never had a bad meal. They are amazingly consistent. The service is always warm and the food is always creative, seasonal, and amazingly executed! Don't miss this hidden gem! It's my #1 in Boston and I've lived here for over 20 years! Some highlights: THE chicken: I never order chicken, let alone breast except at Vee Vee, where it is my favorite. It is often served with Gnocchi, but beyond that the dish varies a lot so there is always something to look forward to. What doesn't vary is the absolutely perfect execution, texture and flavor. Think perfectly juicy yet with crisp skin. The drinks: they always have interesting options for beer, wine and even sake often local... yup sake made in MA. You think I'm crazy but it was wonderful! The dessert: they always have many wonderful often seasonal options so don't miss out!

Every dish was consistently very tasty, and some had us literally cleaning our plates! Fresh and vibrant elevated American. The back patio was perfect, and the service attentive and warm.

Tha patio is beautiful and pleasant. The kitchen was very slow even though there were some empty tables. We sat for a long time with our cocktails and nothing to eat. No bread , crackers or nibbles are served. Fried oysters when finally served were only warm and had lost there crunch. Steak was well cooked as ordered but plate was overwhelmed with Parmesan cheese. Pork shoulder entree was delicious. So I would rate food as inconsistent. Wine was served in plastic glass and request for real wineglass was refused. Good meal but not a good value for the cost.

Stopped in for an impromptu date night after confirming that they had both vegan and vegetarian entrée options. The fried mushroom appetizer (vegan but in a shared fryer) was DELICIOUS. I will always order marinated olives anytime I see them on a menu, and they were great as well. The vegan entrée was gorditas - probably the best vegan entree I've had in a long time. They were topped with crunchy cabbage and pepitas - texture was perfect. They also have a small but mighty wine list - 10/10 experience!

My husband and I have really enjoyed all of our takeout, patio and indoor dining at VeeVee since moving to J.P. They always have something for vegetarians (like handmade pastas), and most recently we loved sitting in a cozy little window booth!

Great food--we tried the steak, chicken, halibut entrees and all were excellent. The outdoor patio is very nice and spacious. Service was kind and fairly prompt. I'm surprised this restaurant doesn't get as much love!

Went there on New Year's Eve and the first surprise was a $72 prix fixe menu -- my bad missed that. Next reviews talked about Vee Vee being vegetarian or vegan. They do have some vegetarian courses but its a side light. Takes nothing away from the food but a data point. Wonderful meat and seafood dishes. We settled in and my friend had Lobster Stew, and I have the Stuffed Mushrooms; both totally yummy. For the second course, she had the Sole and I had the gnocchi. She devoured the Sole and the gnocchi was quite light and pillowy. They were accompanied by Brussel sprouts that were maybe seared but mostly raw. Where we got off course, pun intended was dessert. We ordered the chocolate torte and the gingerbread bowl. The torte was fairly bland and non-descript. The worst offender was the gingerbread bowl. There was a very nice custard in the bowl but it was overwhelmed by the gingerbread. The gingerbread we tried to eat it was cute but not edible. Beyond the food, the service was excellent. The wine was lovely and well suited the food. Do know this is an expensive restaurant to eat in Boston or even New York. Would I come back, yes I would but pay closer attention to the menu before I made the reservation.

The patio was beautiful. The overall experience, not so much. The service was so, so, bordering on tired, and slow. The food was unimpressive--unconfident--dry here, too much grease on another, a number of too sauced up items. Steak in particular was overcooked, not medium well. The owner came as they knew one of our friends...and then told us we had to leave coz she needs the patio table for someone else--as we were waiting for the check that took forever to come!

Cozy spot with small but delicious menu. If you live in the area, I recommend trying this spot. I had the steak, beets, and croquettes. All were great. The drinks were okay.

We're going to be OK! Restaurants will be back. Indoor dining, good food, good service...it's coming back! Thank you Scientists! Yay! The spousal unit and I were back East to see new babies we haven't been able to see and friends/family that haven't been able to travel. We wanted to take our host out for dinner, Massachusetts is lifting restrictions and we snagged a spot at this awesome neighborhood spot in J.P. The staff was vaccinated, we were vaccinated. Welcome!! Shrimp/crabcakes and a salad to start. A bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot (Hey Oregon!!) and some swordfish, pasta bolognese, scallops with a lentil puree. All delish! Finish with a share Mexican chocolate cake desert. Que rico!!! Welcome back America! Let's Eat!!!

Delicious as always, friendly service, good atmosphere, not too noisy. Tried a flight of 4 beers

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience. No question, we will be back. Fun vibe, great menu.

Wow! Very original shiitake appetizer was great! Spinach Salad simple and refreshing; steak main with greens, potatoes perfect; drinkable wines; I was blown away! Will be back asap !

Great wine selection, knowledgeable staff and delicious food. The atmosphere is casual but romantic!

Food is great New bartender is great Female owner could be friendlier Cozy warm atmosphere

Very small restaurant with about 8 tables only. The reason I am giving five stars is the fantastic service we had. Very professional and kind servers. We really had all questions answered and they gave us good idea about the food and drinks. I had their steak. Great sauce with the steak! Very tender and was cooked to my choice! I will definitely come back!

Vee Vee is right down the street from us. For many years, we'd try to find a new restaurant in Boston and Cambridge for each special occasion, with the goal of never repeating ourselves. But let's be honest: the restaurant business is hard here. Margins are thin; overhead is high. So many restaurants play it safe with their menus as a result, with mediocre results. Vee Vee is consistently of top notch caliber. My husband and I recently decided, why risk our discretionary income on new places when we know we'll inevitably have an excellent time at Vee Vee: amazingly prepared food, in a relaxing, plant-filled ambience, served by the most professional and warmly welcoming staff. Consistently. We've dined there four times in the last four months, each on different nights, and it was just as good every time. You know a place is expertly run (kudos, Kristen, Dan and Keith!) when you get the same high quality experience repeatedly. My personal favorites: Tuesday-only fried chicken, crispy shiitake mushroom app, and their current duck and cod specials are all to die for. And their desserts equally impress. You cannot go wrong with Vee Vee. Hard to believe they've been in business for 15 years, because they're still bringing their A game, when so many restaurants stop trying after 5. If they even make it that far.

The baby back ribs were amazing. Had the fried chicken special (Tuesdays) and will say chicken was good. Mac and cheese was ok, the biscuits were A+. We also had the fettuccine which was great, and paired it with a bottle of wine! The service was also A++ will def be back again soon

Great JP dinner spot. I liked the vibe in here, its small but I didn't have to wait at all (I went by myself so it was easy to seat me!). The vibe in here felt like a weird mix of being divey and upscale, which I thought was interesting. My favorite part of my meal was dessert, I had their special lemon cake and it was fantastic! I think that was seasonal, but either way, my next visit I will be having dessert. The fried shitake mushroom with dipping sauce were also pretty great and actually filling. I didn't think I was going to even touch my entree after eating them. I also couldn't stop myself from eathing them! Their service was pretty fast and the staff was very friendly. I like this spot for a quick dinner if I don't want to leave JP.

One of JP best restaurants!! Chic casual. Inventive dishes. Awesome staff. Loved the outdoor garden. It's charming, intimate and a bit magical.

Bad food, unflattering plate expensive.. too much expensive for a casual style restaurant. Limited menu

Appetizers was good. Service was good. Drinks was good. Main entrees was not as great as the others. Asked for medium on the steak and got a well/ well done.

Just a really lovely neighborhood restaurant. Vee Vee has everything you're looking for, for anything from an intimate date night to a casual meal with friends: a cozy and inviting interior, locally-sourced quality food perfectly seasoned and prepared (including multiple vegan options), friendly staff, local owners, good beer/wine selection (they offer a flight of all 4 beers they have on tap- mostly Trillium!-, so if you're a beer person this will call to you). Prices are more substantial than other places in the neighborhood (entrees tend to be $25-35), but the quality is worth it. Our manchego potato croquettes were a good start to the meal (crispy, cheesy, slightly spicy from the accompanying tomato sauce). My scallop entree was phenomenal- I haven't seen such perfect caramelization on scallops in a long time, and they were excellently paired with delicious corn grits topped with chard/scallions and toasted pecans. Husband enjoyed his steak entree too (well-cooked, topped with a flavorful chimmichurri and paired with crispy potatoes and green beans). We loved our s'mores cake dessert (not too sweet, lots of great textures and flavors), and I really enjoyed that they offered a sparkling red dessert wine which was a great end to the meal. I overheard the staff say that Saturday nights in the summer tend to be slower, so get in now before the crowds come back. Will be putting Vee Vee on our regular rotation.

Great small restaurant. It feels comfy and intimate. Low lighting and quiet. I am vegetarian and they had really good options. I had the Gorditas. I like a little spice but not a lot so the waiter suggested getting the sauce on the side. Great suggestion because I could add as much spice as I wanted. Highly recommend.

Oh man, this was our favorite restaurant in JP. So disappointed. We have gone a handful of times and always order the same 2 entrees (we're boring, apparently, but we know what we like !) the gorditas and whatever the vegetarian pasta dish is on the menu. They were always consistently fresh and delicious. This time both dishes tasted stale and sort of gross. The avocado sauce was an old brown color on the gorditas. The arugula pesto was also brown. The pasta tasted old, and the sauce had a heavy savory taste when it should have been light and fresh. It was just off. The worst past was that our waiter never asked how our food was, even though we only took a few bites of our food. I can only assume that he wanted to avoid confrontation in the tight quarters of the dining room, but I would have appreciated to communicate our experience quietly. If that had happened I probably wouldn't be writing this review. Old review: How do you get to experience deliciousness...forever? This was the best meal we've had b a long time. We had the best shiitakes ever- they were fried the way chicken might be and tasted incredible. We also had the oysters, the linguine, the gorditas and the special dessert. I request that the special dessert of ginger lemon ice box cake should be put permanently on the menu because it was the most delicious dessert my boyfriend and I ever ate. I know there are a lot of superlatives in this review, but really, this is worth it. OhMake a reservation!

I made a reservation here for M and my first date night out since Covid started. They created a little gravel patio behind the restaurant that's super cute and small but still with space between the tables. For being in a pandemic, this felt very safe. You walk around to the back to enter rather than going through the indoor restaurant so you can stay outside the whole time. Everyone wears masks except when seated at their table. I felt like there was plenty of space between the tables. You do have access to go inside to use the bathroom if you need to though. Drinks are beer and wine only but they had some good options. Ask your waiter if nothing catches your eye because they did have a few extra beers that weren't on the menu. We started with the potato croquettes which were absolutely amazeballs. Awesome flavor, perfect texture and crunch, and served on an awesome red sauce. Definitely the stand out. M and I both got the seared tuna for dinner because we're boring and have scarily similar taste. It was excellent if a tad over salted. Great sear but still nice and raw in the middle. It came with asparagus and potatoes that were delicious but positively swimming in butter so maybe not the healthiest dinner if you're counting calories. We wrapped up with a frozen peach dessert that was light and refreshing for summer. A good ending to a very good meal. Prices were reasonable but not cheap. I think we were ~$130 all in with tax and tip. We'll keep Vee Vee in mind for future date nights even if it won't become a super regular haunt.

Vee Vee is a 35-seat neighborhood restaurant opened in 2008 by Dan and Kristen Valachovic (Mr. and Mrs. Vee). The artwork in the restaurant rotates on a roughly bi-monthly basis.

Was so excited to try this place due to high recommendations. I was disappointed the steak had zero seasoning. I asked for some seasoning, and the waiter took the plate to the kitchen and returned saying the cook said this is how it comes and you probably won't like it and to order something different. I was hesitant because of the way this waiter was treating me. I ordered the pasta on the menu. The waiter brought it and it was clear the cook purposefully over salted this dish. And to top it off, the waiter brought a salt shaker and aggressively put it on the table. I was shocked as this is talked about as a highly valued restaurant in our tight community. I am also brown and there were no other minorities in the outdoor area. I don't know what the deal was, but I will not return. Beware of the passive aggressive cook and shoddy waitstaff.

Vee Vee you are everything we look for in a restaurant for brunch. Atmosphere: small, cute quaint and comfortable, a cross between a cafe and restaurant Service: awesome, friendly, attentive, and great timing on serving food. Food: we just went for brunch but this place exceeded expectations and was absolutely incredible. My bf got the VeeVee sandwich which was perfectly paired with a side of potatoes and salad. The side salad was awesome and the dressing was light, flavorful and probably my favorite. I got the brunch platter, and this was awesome! Two eggs, a side of meat, a side of potatoes, a side salad, and a biscuit for $11?! Holy cow what a steal, this place was reasonably priced. I also must add that I am super picky when it comes to OJ, but this juice was probably one of the best OJs I have gotten at breakfast (not the best but up there). All in all we will definitely be back and are excited to have this restaurant in our neighborhood right down the street. Can't wait to try their dinner menu! Woot :)

5 stars for the food, 3 stars for the service. Backstory-- my husband and I elected to celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary at Vee Vee. Hubs and I had just finished up with 4 months of long-distance because my job in Boston started before his. He had moved to Boston the prior week and we had spent two days unloading our moving pod (including our actual anniversary date). Our dinner at Vee Vee was on our actual 5-year anniversary date and we were thrilled to actually get to celebrate it together, as well as pleased to be mostly moved in to our new place. I put a special note on the reservation indicating that it was our 5-year wedding anniversary. I was excited because they have extensive vegetarian options and great yelp reviews. We arrive to dinner and were seated in a cozy table near the window. The hostess showed us to our table and gave us menus. She asked what brought us in and I noted in was our wedding anniversary and mentioned we had just moved to JP. She said something like-- yes, saw that on the reservation, happy anniversary. She was courteous, but not particularly friendly or congratulatory. The waiter did not mention our anniversary or congratulate us. It's not as though I needed some huge gesture from either of them. At the same time, having worked as a waitress before, I feel like it is pretty standard to be much more congratulatory and welcoming than the hostess and waiter were at Vee Vee. To me, it's basic customer service. And given what we were celebrating, we were clearly going to spend money and were potential repeat customers, as we're now living in the neighborhood. A "Congratulations on your anniversary! We're so pleased you've elected to celebrate it with us. Let us know what we can do to make this a special night for you." We got none of that. I guess I maybe miss the friendliness of the West Coast and forgot that folks on the East Coast can be a little monotone and reserved (I know, I know, stereotypes). On to the food-- it was great! We got the FRIED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS stuffed with herbed cheese and served with 2 sauces-- one zucchini based and one tomato based-- for an appetizer. The tempura batter on the squash blossom was light and crisp and the sauces were very flavorful. So delicious! The presentation was lovely. I'd give this 5/5 stars. I'd definitely order this again. I got the BEET GNOCCHI with sage brown butter, asparagus, and broccolini as my main course. Yum! The gnocchi were tender and lightly beet flavored. The veggies were cooked perfectly and were very satisfying. The colors of the dish were also very visually arresting-- the contrast of the pink gnocchi and bright green veggies was beautiful. 4.5/5 stars. My husband got a meat dish-- STEAK I think? He was pleased-- this was one of the first times he really enjoyed broccoli-- the side that came with the steak-- the broccolini had pickled peppers on top and he really liked the tanginess. The steak was cooked properly and he seemed happy (of course as the vegetarian, i remember the broccolini-- lol). We got the STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE with basil whipped cream for dessert. It was generally pretty tasty, but the flavors were a little subtle for me. I wanted more of an intense strawberry flavor and more of a sweet/tangy flavor. The crust was flavorful, but the filling tasted mostly like unsweetened whipped cream. The basil whipped cream on top had no discernible basil flavor. 3/5 stars. I got wine and my husband got beer. Don't recall which ones, but we were pleased and they were tasty. We will definitely come back and I've already told my vegetarian parents about the delightful options at Vee Vee. We did leave a good tip, despite being underwhelmed by the service-- because I am not about to deprive someone of their salary for mediocre service. I just wish they could be a little bit warmer and more welcoming!

Absolutely outstanding seafood! The flavors of the fish and the sides was truly remarkable and I'll definitely be back for more. The staff was very friendly too and took good care of us.

Went to check out the new patio at Vee Vee last night with my family. They left good instructions on how to find it (you can't enter through the main restaurant) and we enjoyed our dinner al fresco. The food was good as well - I recommend getting a few things to share with the table! We tried the shrimp/scallop cakes (very yum), the ribs (spicy and also yum), the potato croquettes (delish) and their especial of the day, an heirloom tomato salad (I think my fave of the night). Since we shared smaller bites we all had room for dessert. Get the butterscotch pudding! The waiter shared that the owner makes it himself! It was the best way to end a very pleasant evening!

I've been hesitant to write a review for Vee Vee because I've been on the border of 4/5 stars for quite some time. Well, I've finally decided this one is a 5! This place has no real downside as far as food, service, drink menu, or atmosphere go. Intimate-but-casual neighborhood spot with an inventive, always fresh menu, and awesome beer list. It is a little bit pricey, which is why I've been a little hesitant to endorse Vee Vee with a full 5 stars. You can come for a romantic three course dinner, solo for nice beer/wine and an app, or for a casual Tuesday night fried chicken dinner - (a bargain at $14 for fried chicken, mac n cheese, cheddar biscuit, and a rotating side). Plus - it's always a guarantee that they have at least a couple Trillium beers on tap. The Tues night fried chicken special & their exclusive beer list probably pushes it over the edge against any competitors in the area. Trillium recently released an anniversary beer Couvee de Teatreault (pictured), and only released ~5 kegs to local area restaurants - lucky to say that Vee Vee was one of the lucky recipients. Overall - kind of expensive - but I have never left disappointed!

True, we're not rolling in the dough, but that's NO excuse to neglect our table. I was so excited to have a REAL date night for the first time in months! I wasn't sure what would be worth the splurge, so I checked out Vee Vee which had pretty good reviews. We were seated, got water, bread, all good. We ordered the chicken breast ravioli and beef shank bolognese. There were definitely not enough ravioli (especially for $25) and my husband was still hungry after eating the whole plate. I tried flagging down the waiter like 5 or 6 times and FINALLY GOT HIS HIPSTER BEARDED ATTENTION. Mind you, the restaurants is NOT THAT BIG. Grrrr. I was a waitress and you're supposed to check in with your table 5 minutes after putting the plates down. Never happened. Water refilled, once his cup ran dry? Nope Not till we flagged down the water girl. So sad. Service was crap. It killed the mood. I'll go to a restaurant with bigger portions and better service next time.

Food was incredible, service was fantastic and we loved sitting outside on the secret patio. Looking forward to coming back!

Outstanding dinner in a lovely, relaxing space! From the garden wall to the quaint little bar, this intimate restaurant has an unpretentious, zen vibe. Lovely paintings that recall the far out coasts of the Cape adorn terracotta colored walls. The food was absolutely perfect in quality and flavor, striking a balance between clean and classic freshness (shrimp cocktail) and unique, original combinations. The chimichurri steak got me excited about steak for the first time in a very long time. Respect for the wine selections. Vegan gorditas dish was a party of freshness in my mouth. Service was professional, friendly and well paced. I would love to see a more special dessert that better accompanies the uniqueness and originality of the rest of the menu - I had the lemon cake and it was decent but not as special as it should have been. This will be a go to for me going forward!

Every time I've eaten at Vee Vee I've been blown away by the food. Even the simple things like meatloaf are outstanding. Last night I had the halibut that was served with a sauce made from green crabs. I was literally drinking the last bit of sauce from the bowl it was so good. I hope it's still on the menu next time I go there!

I came here at 6:45pm on 9/27/22 with my elderly mother and sat at the bar. The long-haired white woman opening wine bottles behind the counter assumed we wanted drinks and when my mother told her politely we weren't going to stay, she seemed very offended and became passive aggressive, thanking us profusely while giving us an angry look.

Went in for an early dinner with our 10 mo old son and had a great meal + service. The hummus, soft shell crab, chicken, tuna, and butterscotch pudding were all highlights. We will be back!!
