    The fan for the grill was not working so certain items on the menu were not an option re: hamburgers and steak. The owner felt so bad because she knew we all came for a hamburger (the best in town in our opinion) that she sent two complementary appetizers to our table. The dumplings and the calamari. Both were fantastic. Our waitress Lu was excellent. Every time that we have dined at VPT our experience has been second to none. Also, my father is very hard of hearing so they always try to accommodate us a by sitting us in as quite a location as possible.

    Excellent service, good food and reasonably priced. We had my 2 young grandchildren with us (8&6) and had a lovely table in a somewhat separate area. The wait staff were very accommodating

    Overall, not positive . Food was mediocre and bland. Service was good. Watery cocktail. Mussels were only good thing on menu. What a disappointment- don’t understand the appeal.

    This restaurant has an excellent chef. Not your run-of-the-mill short order cook. Food is outstanding.
