Servers didn’t seem very happy. We waited a long time for our food and for our bill. Our app and meal came at the same time. The Meatball Smash was a hard sausage burger with tomato sauce, didn’t really taste like a meatball. The chicken parm was good. Also note the server was very apologetic and took the meal off our bill because we didn’t enjoy it.

Pizza was excellent, got caught in the pre-concert rush and waited an hour for our food. Good prices and a good meal.

This place sucks! How Jimmy V's family would associate his name with this place is beyond me. I thought it would be of the same quality of the original restaurant in Cary, oh hell no! NY Strip was under cooked and still tough as an old bowling shoe. $21 for a glass of Malbec that costs $10 a bottle at the store? Don't waste your time or money .....

I have a feeling that the team was understaffed tonight but I wanted to give a shout out to those who were working. Y’all were hustling and doing your best on what was probably a busier than normal Monday night.

Worst experience ever at this restaurant. I ordered the salmon and it was bad. I was unable to eat it due to the bad taste. My husband also had salmon and his was ok. Overall very low quality food at this visit. If there is a next time I will stick with the pizza.
