| - My boyfriend and I went to Vagabondo III for Valentine's Day dinner. I am not sure what the restaurant is like on a non-holiday, but I would not recommend going here for Valentine's Day.
First, the four course meal (that everyone had to get as they did not offer their regular menu that night) was, for lack of a better term, a rip-off. We didn't have a choice for the first and fourth course and what came out were two small pieces of first, bruscetta, and later, two very small strawberries dipped in chocolate with a little bit of whip cream on the side. For the second course, fortunately there were two choices, but unfortunately they ran out of one so we both had the same thing again. And for the third course, while there were 4 choices, they all came with the same sides that tasted very bland. The main course was in fact, the least delicious of all 4 courses. That is to say, the bruschetta, the salad, and the dessert were actually not bad. And, on another positive note, we left with our stomachs full despite the shortcomings.
Also, the restaurant automatically added a 17.33% gratuity to the check without informing us! My experience has been that gratuity is added to parties of 6 or more and they will note it somewhere on their menu. Not here, not that night.
So, all in all, the dinner was overpriced for subpar food. We did have attentive service and nice ambiance, though. Unfortunately, because we felt the restaurant took advantage of its customers on Valentine's Day, we will not be going here again and do not recommend it. Sorry.
