    Incredible as always. Was our 10 year anniversary and the small touches to a signed note saying happy anniversary, to the walk through of the kitchen and the incredible food and pairings, was amazing. Great staff, extremely knowledgeable with all good and wine. Wouldn't expect anything else for VDM.
