The Black Cat at Vee Vee is incredible, delicious and memorable. I keep thinking about the DjonDjon fried rice and butterscotch pudding. The kids adored the fish tacos and chili shrimp tostada. Basically EVERYTHING is delish! The team is awesome and we can’t wait to go back!

Vibrant flavors with unique preparation. Enjoyed the cauliflower app especially. Desserts amazing and worth saving room for the pistachio tiramisu cake and rich chocolate cake. French press coffee a nice touch. Wine choices were disappointment given there are so many nice options from those same grapes/regions. Mezcal margarita was much better! Will be back someday.
