We decided to share a VCC Sharing platter and it felt like it was the right decision in order to get the best of everything. It was all freshly prepared and delicious, the only word of caution would be that the sliders are more on the juicy side, so plate and napkin advised! The playlist was also very enjoyable and the staff were incredibly kind, always cautioning us if a drink was going to be spicy or bitter. Overall it was a marvelous evening.
