Sitting here reflecting on our amazing dinner last...

Sitting here reflecting on our amazing dinner last night. We met up with a few friends for dinner. They had eaten at V's Taproom previously, but this was our first visit. They were excited to share this place with us because they love it so much!
It was a busy March, Friday evening with cold winds and off and on again rain. We were seated on the patio tucked in near the fireplace with a heater next to the table. While we waited for the last couple, we enjoyed drinks, appetizers and a fabulous atmosphere. We quickly forgot we were having unusual weather.
Our server was top notch. She glided in and away quietly keeping our drinks filled, without interrupting the conversation. At some point the GM, Jon Morgan, stopped over to check on us. We told him it was our first visit. He quickly ran through some suggestions. I have a food allergy and asked about what I should consider to avoid any issues with cross contamination. He detailed their high standards of excellence to avoid these concerns. He reminded me to always alert the server so she can remind the chef. He made some excellent suggestions.
We were enjoying the conversation so much, he explained the area and the other properties owned by the company. He surprised us with a visit from the chef, as well. The chef actually offered to make some dinner choices not even on the menu! It was so nice to have such a personalized experience with exceptional service from beginning to end.
It is nearly impossible to put into words the high quality of the food and presentation. All meals were delivered hot and delicious and together. Sadly, it seems the quality of restaurant food has declined considerably these days. This was not the case with V's Taproom. It was such a wonderful change in experience and took us back to the days when restaurants really care about the total package experience.
I assure you that all of us will be back... often! This may be our "Go To" restaurant of choice from now on. Even if we have to wait for a table, we know that every minute is worth the wait. Thank you Jon, for your time on a busy evening. Please thank you chef and staff (from server to bartender). We could not have been more impressed! We will see you on our next visit, and the visit after that, and so on and so forth. You have created a regular customer from your standard of excellence.
