    Waited 20 min just to get an order drink. The maitre D came by so we had to ask him. Finally they sent someone to our table and ordered BUT no one ever came back to refill our water, or check on our meal. Been here before but this was terrible service, so disappointing .

    Food was fantastic and the portions much bigger than expected. Beautiful set up. Service was a little rough with the waiter and bus girl seeming to be miserable and her trying to take away plates while still eating. Price is fair. We will go back. All in all good experience.

    Enjoyable on so many levels. Service was very good - food was outstanding. Ambience was perfect. Don’t know how I hadn’t heard of this restaurant before. Will be our new go-to for a special meal.

    First time at MV to celebrate birthday! Heard so many great reviews about the food so decided to try it out! The service was top notch, ambiance very rustic and pretty! We had an early reservation (5:45 pm on a Friday night) and were served pretty quickly. As far as food I have to say everything we ordered was top quality and delicious! (Cavatelli Bolognese and Shrimp Oreganata) Prices are steep so you need to expect that prior to making a reservation. However, the one disappointment was the Seafood Salad appetizer which may have been a "special". We figured we'd split the app ($34.00) between the two of us and asked our server if it was "enough" for both of us. She hesitated for just a second and said "Yes". Unfortunately you cannot split 1 Shrimp, 1 Scallop and 1 piece of Lobster meat, regardless of how big each piece is. This is an appetizer for one person and she could've simply told us that. It was delicious though. I would recommend MV for a dinner out for a special occasion as the food was really delicious however.

    Third and last time will come here. Wanted to give this place yet another go but similar experience to the other couple times I came here. Over rated food and rude server.

    Took forever to get a reservation, the atmosphere is great. The waiter forgot to put our order in then when we finally flagged him down he couldn’t find what we ordered then brought out the wrong order. I get it sometimes this happens but just my luck.
