My food was cold (I ordered the scallops on Parmesan grits) and quite expensive. The dessert trio didn’t seem fresh - the custards were shrunken and had condensation on top. The wine pour was small for the price. It’s a pretty restaurant and I love the way nutritional information is displayed on the menu, but the food just doesn’t seem as good as it used to be.

MVK hosted a “traditional brunch buffet” on Mother’s Day, which is a departure from their typical weekend brunch menu. I have to say it was amazing! An incredible selection of their staples and my favorites, alongside some incredible lunch and dessert options. Well done, MVK - you always impress - and you made this Mother’s Day special for our moms and guests!

Amazing experience, will definitely be back. Just moved here from California and this reminded me very much of a typical California restaurant. The food tastes very fresh and they had great menu options. I love that they put the calorie content among other nutritional information right on the menu helping you make better choices. I don't have any dietary restrictions or preferences but they do cater to gluten-free and vegetarian and I haven't found many restaurants here that do. There's parking in the back which is a plus though it was pretty full, I still managed to get a space. And you must try one of their cute little shot glass desserts. Just the right amount to satisfy my sweet tooth without packing on a lot of calories and cost! I look forward to returning even with the half hour drive!
