“ There's really not much to say about this place, but it's a super cute and intimate place with small plates of food to talk, eat and drink over. We sat outside and the lovely host at the time (around 5pm on a Friday) turned on the heater and it made our time there even more clutch. The service there was awesome, our food runners were coming in left and right on our food and drinks. Honestly, GREAT SERVICE. My friend, ordered her food to go for her husband and our server recommended the risotto and her husband enjoyed it all. Definitely a place to come back and catch up with friends while enjoying their wines too. ”

“ I have done a few reviews for Va De Vi in the past already, and they never disappoint. We have always had an amazing meal and I am addicted to this place. This review is purely in the hopes that management and the chef see this.....I know your menu rotates and most items change. However, I know there are items that are staples and haven't really changed over the years, like the lechon, short rib, chocolate soufflé, and white chocolate blondie. However, I beg you to add one more staple to your list....never change the brioche bread pudding with the heath bar crumbles! That was the best bread pudding I have ever had, and I am very picky about my bread puddings! Haha! It was so delicious and I loved the crisp on top!! The atmosphere was lovely as usual and I just loved the ambiance of the place! It is an enjoyable experience whether you're inside or outside! ”

“ My sisters and I had lunch here on a Sunday around noon. We made a reservation in advance, and were seated at arrival without delay, indoors since it's winter, though the setting outside looked beautiful. Service was professional and helpful during our visit, and the food we ordered came out quickly, several tapas for sharing. The meat dishes offered on the menu were quite diverse, featuring grilled new york steak, moroccan beef cigar, and even lechon. But I opted for the va de vi burger, bunless as the fries were already plenty of carbs to fill me up for lunch. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, really good, and all of the ingredients went together nicely. One of the other items that stood out to me was the pancetta wrapped prawns, so yummy especially with the sauce, it packed a lot of flavor. We also got the crispy brussel sprouts, pommes frites, butternut squash risotto, braised beef short rib, and ahi tartare, and there wasn't a single item that we didn't think was outstanding. And can't forget the drinks... the passionfruit- pomegranate margaritas we got were delish! ”

“ Our favorite place for Mussels and Sangria! Their cod fish ceviche and rice crackers are lovely too! Absolutely love the ambience and wine selection. Ambience is classy and fun at the same time. This place is definitely are favorite for a nice quiet date night! ”

“ Such a wonderful time here! To keep it short: food was delicious and always came piping hot off the grill. The Va de Vi burger was JUICY and the highlight. Usually I'll skip the dessert menu but their dessert here is totally worth getting. We go the sampler for two (as many other people also ordered this) and everything was decadent. The wine? Soooo many selections. Great that they also have a sampler flights that come with generous pours. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly and attentive. Ambiance was romantic and cozy. Highly recommend! ”

“ We went to Va de Vi for my birthday and enjoyed a wonderful flight of wines with a selection that paired well with the cheese plate. We also ordered the dessert flight, which was the most impressive dessert selection I have ever had! The ambiance was cozy and warm which was lovely on the rainy day. I would recommend if you enjoy wine in a beautiful dining room. The service was wonderful. Call ahead to get a reservation! ”

“ Came in on our anniversary back in July and loved our experience. Our server turned out to be one of our favorites from another restaurant so that was a lucky surprise. Service was impeccable from start to finish-- thanks, Cooper! Va de Vi is located next to Tiffany and Co. in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek. It is the perfect place for get togethers with friends, but also has the ambience for a romantic evening for couples. The outdoor courtyard is stunning-- inside is dim and intimate. The menu is eclectic and designed for sharing small plates. My husband and I enjoyed a few cocktails and several small plates including the Lechon-- crispy pork belly on top of rice cakes, pickled onion and sweet chili-soy glaze, my husband enjoyed this so much we ordered a second plate, we also ordered the Chicken Parmesan, the Adobo Pork Ribs, as well as the Dessert Sampler. It was the perfect location for us to celebrate our 24th anniversary, I look forward to returning again and again. Every detail was perfect from start to finish. Chef's kiss!* ”

“ Like this small plates option in downtown Walnut Creek. The primary reservation I have about Va de Vi is the difficulty getting a reservation. In and of itself this is a complement to popularity. But sometimes the best ability is availability, and most of time I attempt to secure a reservation I find that 1) I cannot get one at Va de Vi, and 2) I can at any number of other great, nearby options. The wine selection is varied and well-selected, and the wine flight options are an interesting alternative to many other local wine bars. Over the years I believe I've ordered almost every dish on offer, and have found the food uniformly good - although the term "small plates" is very appropriate here. As such, I find Va de Vi to be one of several options - a consistent possible, but not presently a "short list" go-to. ”

“ Vibes and ambiance are on point - I went here for a date night and it was a beautiful tucked in wine bar nestled in downtown WC. We had an rsvp and had to sit inside, I felt like the service forgot us a bit because it took them a while to take our order and check in on us. Evidently, when we did order, they also gave us the wrong dish and we flagged them down. That took awhile because she dropped the plates off and left. Out of the lechón, black cod, and steak - I would definitely choose the black cod. The lechón was paired with sushi rice that was too much on the vinegary side and the steak was a little salty. We also got some wine and they were fine as well. Not sure if I'd come here again but it is a very pretty place and nice to stop by for the wine. ”
