Va de Vi

The name means "It's about wine" in Catalan, but it's also about the food. The food is serving in an interior with ceiling that looks like a wine barrel. There's also prime outdoor seating either under a tree or overlooking Mount Diablo blvd. Chef Arnold Pulido.

A bar sitting allows you to watch the chiefs prepare the dishes. The dishes are served with well-crafted international small plates, all exceptionally well-done. It might be a classic wedge salad made with baby iceberg, nicely fried fish and chips with tartar and ponzu sauce, and a boneless braised short ribs served over mashed potatoes with Brussels sprouts and a sprinkling of lemon gremolata. The "Va de Vi" has good choice of desserts. Prices 6-15$.
