I try not to over exaggerate how terrible some places are but this was honestly one of the worst meals I've ever experienced. This was several years ago. Maybe it has improved.

It's hard to imagine that building used to house one of the most elegant French restaurants in the state.

I think their take on shrimp and grits of all things is pretty interesting. It's been a while, but I remember some king of jalapeno salsa mix in and went away thinking it was pretty good. Only eaten there once.

Salsa tasted like straight up tomato paste but the margaritas and the chicken tacos were good. The shrimp taco was ok but it had a vinegar after taste I didn’t like.

VC gets alot of hate on here but I think it's one of the best Tex Mex joints in the city.

It gets hate because it earned it. I'd say it's literal crap, but that would be unfair to the crap.

The building and space are AWESOME, though.
