Vee Vee

I recently came here after a menu revamp, for Black Cat @ Vee Vee. EXCELLENT meal. My friend and I split several dishes: red snapper crudo, wingz (with the red stripe and magnum bbq sauce), the fried rice, the beef empanada, and two tacos (al pastor and pollo). The tacos were pretty good (flavorful and lots of filling nestled in a double tortilla), but everything else was outstanding. I think our favorite might have been the fried rice, which is saying a lot coming from two Chinese girls. The bbq sauce on the wingz was addictive, and the crudo was fresh and just the right amount of heat from the pepper. The empanada was crisp and light on the inside with juicy beef on the inside and the two sauces it came with were perfect. We couldn't decide between two of the desserts so we got both. The soursop ice cream was so creamy and not too sweet, but the bruñuelo was (to me) the star of the meal. I thought it would be dense since I think it's made of plantains but it was sooooo airy and crispy and the sauce on top was *chefs kiss*. I am literally planning my next visit to try the other half of the menu, including more of their vegetarian options!

Overall i would definitely go back and try even more items on the menu! Ambiance was fine. Service was awkward and a bit on the slower side so 4/5Beer flight was nice touch but a bit on the warm sideScallops(5/5)Steak(5/5)Ceviche (5/5)Tacos (3/5) fish was amazing but shells were dryWings (3/5) cooked well and juicy but missing flavor even though they looked very flavorful Pudding dessert (4/5)Plantain dessert (3/5)

A delightful dinner tonight! Thoroughly creative layering of delicious flavors! Yummy fried yucca, jack fruit empanadas, birria tacos, street corn, and scallops. Extra bursts of flavor from accompanying sauces and dips. Dessert included scrumptious buñuelos, butterscotch pudding, and Soursop ice cream. Great service. Casual atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Had to come back to add an updated review for the new Black Cat menu at Vee Vee. Same great patio and service, even more amazing food! Everything we tried was delicious, but highlight was the red snapper curry

Love Vee Vee! Such a great spot. Their new menu is super good. Flavors are unreal. The patio is such a nice vibe too. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to love this place and was excited about the rebrand but I was left so disappointed. I was excited to try the shrimp ceviche but sadly it was out of stock. So I ordered the shrimp tostada instead, which I was sad to see was not another raw dish as this was not made clear. Regardless it was fine, didn't stand out but good size for the price. However the real disappointment was the birria tacos which were completely flavorless. I was really shocked by this as birria is typically very flavorful but I had to take this to go and re-season at home. In addition the consumer was very oily as well. I was sat at the bar and service was great. The patio is really nice and I look forward to trying again, hopefully with better luck.

I was looking for a place in JP with gluten-free options and Vee Vee more than delivered. The inside seemed cozy but we went with a table in their "secret" patio, which is right around the corner and nicely decked out (I applaud restaurants' efforts to convert parking lots into feasible outdoor options at the height of the pandemic). Advise making reservations on the weekend and Thursday-Friday. The menu's pretty limited but that's not a ding in my book if the restaurant can ace the handful of dishes offered (better than a wide spread of mediocre options). I went with the chicken dish. Chicken breast, whenever I cook it at home, always turns into a dry, tough slab, so as it happens, that's usually a restaurant dish that catches my eye. This one was cooked beautifully, with a nice, crispy skin, and I loved the potato gnocchi as a side. Was it mind-blowing, though? I will say, for a chicken dish, the price tag of $31 was fancy steakhouse-level steep. Everyone's reeling from inflation these days but my wallet definitely felt a pinch. That said, the dish was cooked with attention and care.Our waiter made sure to offer suggestions and refill our water glasses. For parking, there's a municipal lot right behind the row of restaurants with lots of 2-hour spaces and free after 6pm.

We enjoyed a beautiful night out in Boston and ended up eating at Vee Vee (luckily) as walk-ins. They gave us a seat by the door, which was appreciated and the service to the food was hitting on all marks. The one thing I hold back from giving a 5 star review on is that we were dying of heat -- it felt like we were eating in a sauna. I'm not sure if it was because they didn't turn on the AC or if we just had an unfortunate seat that wasn't receiving any of that cool air. Either way, I was sweating throughout the entire dinner service and so was my fiancée.

Was excited to try the new menu but was disappointed by the whole experience. We felt rushed by the server and timing of dishes even though it wasn't busy. The food came out so quickly it had me wondering if dishes are premade and waiting to go out rather than being prepared for us specifically. This hunch was reinforced by the temperature at which the food was delivered. Empanadas were cold inside and scallops sat on lukewarm polenta, which we almost sent back. Tacos were the best thing we tried. Atmosphere is meh-- the place needs a facelift. Won't be going back.

Picked this restaurant on a whim since people seemed to like it and BOY am I glad we did. My siblings and I spent half of the time just taking bites and staring at each other with wide eyes because everything was so mindblowingly good. We ended up using a spoon to devour every last bit of the sauces that came with the yuca dish. Our favorites were the yuca, the aguachile steak, and the shrimp ceviche. Plus, an honorable mention to the butterscotch pudding! Portion sizes are definitely respectable and we ended up only getting 4 dishes (+ dessert) for the 3 of us and being full. However, I wish I had a second stomach so I could devour more. Our server, Ella, was so wonderful and helped us pick some incredible dishes! Overall, service was amazing and it was quiet, cozy, and friendly. This is probably one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in all of Boston now! If you have a chance to go, I highly recommend!
