on Citysearch Dec 03, 2008Had lunch there yesterday with my girlfriend and sister. Two of us ordered the Asian Pear and Ham salad on arugala. Ha - First the waiter should have been kind enough to tell us there were less than three bites on the... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 24, 2008Va Da Vi is a great place to go for great food in a lively (though sometimes loud) setting. There's a great vibe here, a fun outdoor patio and delicious and interesting small plates to share. Flavors span the globe - from... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 04, 2008I should have done better research on this spot, it wasn't until we arrived that we figured out that they service small plates. The food was very good, but you'd have to order 3 plates to be full. It really is a fun way to... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 22, 2008I absolutely love this restaurant! It has such a romantic feel to it and the tapas style is a fun way to try new things. They always have a great selection of food and wine. I enjoyed a hanger steak, onion rings,... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 21, 2008I am new to your site, and as such was very curious to see the other reviews of my favorite restaurant, Va de Vi. I must say I was shocked to read some of the negatives! - particularly the first one listed, from 10/26. I... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 25, 2007When we arrived at Va de Vi last night the only seats were at the bar. It took a while to get attention, but once we ordered drinks, it then took more time to get the food menu from the two male bartenders who were cocky and... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 29, 2007I went to va de vi for the first time a few weeks ago with my boyfriend, the side patio is pretty nice -- the food was super bland though. We had the flank steak and there was no seasoning on it what so ever and the... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 27, 2007It was our first time to the Creek. We did not have a reservation although in looking at the other restaraunts in the hood, we chose to wait out a chance at a 9:00 seating. They were very nice and sat us at the chefs counter.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 08, 2007I've dined at Va Di Vi only once, but can't wait to go back next time I'm in the East Bay. The food was excellent, especially the tuna dishes. It's great to explore the wine flights and find new favorites. It does get... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 19, 2006If you want quantity for your dollar, this is not the place. Va de Vi specializes in tapas gourmet. Best for two people to go and share a handful of plates (go for the starter lobster bisque if it's on the menu!). Make sure... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 07, 2006While some of food was okay, the most of it was okay - , the service was miss and miss. The four of us were reccommended to order 4 small dishes and told to share - I get it - tapas. But for dinner 4 small dishes aren't going to... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 03, 2006There is one word to describe the staff at Va de Vi....RUDE. The service may have been some of the worst I have ever had. The bartender acted like he was doing us a favor by bringing our glasses of wine. The hostess was... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2006We decided to try "Va de Vi" after I read a glowing review in Diablo magazine. I must say I was disappointed overall with our experience. The ambiance/environment of the restaurant is noisy. This was on a Monday night... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 21, 2006I agree with another member that Va de Vie is a really good restaurant. People get so thrown off by small portions. I'd rather have small portions any day than too much food! And when the food is delicious, even better. I... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 08, 2006I have been to Va de Vi about 3 times, and we are going back tomorrow. We read on this website that people were saying that the food wasnt worth the money and the service was terrible. I have to totally disagree. This place... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 27, 2006This is one of my favorite spots in the bay area! Not only is the tapas style food consistently wonderful, but the wine selection is excellent as well! They serve flights so you can really experience some wine you... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 06, 2005The food is incredible with small plates of expensive food. Lots of choices. I love the wine flights, many different types, to go with the plates. The service has been excellent on my 3 visits - 2 lunch, 1 dinner. Always... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 16, 2005Although I have now been to Va De Vie 3 or 4 times, they are still failing to impress and impress me they should with these prices! Small plates that are $15-20, yikes. The cheese plate with 3 cheeses is $16 and no joke,... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 19, 2005Just had lunch there and the grumpy old guy who waited on us was painfully slow, unfriendly and forgetful. The food is good but it's very loud, overpriced and the poor service make it impossible to enjoy the... (more)
