| - Came here for lunch the other day as a two-some, and we ended up splitting an order of the brie sandwich with sweet potato fries, and a vegetarian "tortilla" omelette and zucchini tostas for tapas. We got the corner booth by the window, an odd type of seating arrangement that ended up working perfectly for the two of us sharing the dishes. For lunch hour, the restaurant was mostly empty.
The waitress was very pleasant and gave us a complementary order of tortilla soup which had a small kick and a pleasant surprise to begin our experience at V. Picasso.
The brie sandwich was absolutely delicious and provided a great start to the rest of the meal, especially with the slices of pear providing a crisp sweetness complementing the flavor of the brie. It could have been a meal in of itself. The sweet potato fries and the yogurt sauce for dipping were also flavorful and my partner and I enjoyed the bit of cinnamon (or nutmeg) that accented the yogurt for dipping.
The tortilla got mixed reviews from our table. My partner enjoyed the flavors and the onion mixed in, whereas I found the eggs to be relatively bland in flavor. Perhaps a 2.5/5.
The zucchini tostas, however, were fabulous. Goat cheese, grilled zucchini, and sage? And you're putting some honey with it? The portions were the right size, allowing us to split the dish easily and still both wind up with full bellies.
Overall, a very affordable, tasty, and pleasant alternative to the typical lunch fare I'm used to, and a great atmosphere to boot. Seeing the other reviews before I came in had given me some pause, but I'm glad that it seems as if V. Picasso has addressed those faults pointed out previously.
Just figure something out about that tortilla?
