Probably the best restaurant on Solano Avenue. Great food, good service, friendly atmosphere and a great bartender.

This restaurant dropped in quality of food, service et atmosphere. The food was of low quality, the "garlic noodle dish with filet mignon and chicken" was not as described. There were very little noodle and it was not garlic noodles as described in the menu, it was more like Chow mein and the portion of noodle was minimal. The filet mignon was not fresh.. We order also French fries of half the portion were little bits left over and cold - no seasoning... (Mac Donald French fries are better). We also had fish tacos that were tasteless. Food is below average and pricey for what you get. It is no longer a good restaurant!

Consistently good. $8.5 for a beer was shocking.

Incredible experience, delicious food, fantastic atmosphere. Big thanks to the entire Vanessa’s team for making tonight’s event a special one. It couldn’t have been better! We had a group of 20 for a birthday party. Vi created a special menu for us. From the salad to the prawns, the garlic short ribs, to the garlic crab noodles, everything was impressive. They were even able and happy to accommodate some dietary restrictions. Again, thank you to the entire Vanessa’s team! Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian and pescatarian options Dietary restrictions: They were cognizant of dietary restrictions Parking: Free street parking after 6p

Absolutely awesome Vietnamese Fusion. We shared multiple dishes among our table of 4 and every single dish was a revelation. Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices for vegetarians. The vegetables are super tasty.

Great small bites. The salt and pepper calamari were perfectly seasoned, the breading was light and they weren’t greasy at all. Lettuce wrap chicken was also superb, the sauce was really good and not overly sweet. Produce used was all very fresh. We also had the Dungeness crab salad that was not outstanding but very refreshing.
