The owner of Turks & Frogs in the West Village rolls the dice and wins big with this new spot. VL charms you with aromas and flavors of the Levant. A dash of hip and sexy are added to the ambiance.
Best restaurant upper west side! Great selection of wine and original Mediterranean food! Fresh and tasty. I loved the lamb and the frozen creme brûlée. I even tried an amazing Israeli wine.
The vegan moussaka and Moroccan cod, both of which were delicious but the portions could have been a little larger. And while they were out of phyllo for the balkava, they were able to substitute.
Really cute spot--nice addition to the UWS. Only downside is service was terrible. When it's more than half empty you shouldn't need to ask for the check more than once.
