I went to GV's for a family dinner on a recent Sunday night. The 9 of us made reservations and arrived at 6:30. We were taken to a back room for more space. The restaurant became quite busy by the time we left. For dinner, I ordered a cup of wedding soup and the penne vodka with chicken. The dish was described as spicy so I was intrigued. The wedding soup was fairly standard. I did enjoy the fact that the spinach was fresh and added on top the soup. However, I was missing more veggies and cheese. My chicken penne vodka was also nothing to write home about. There was a very small amount of chicken and the dish was far from spicy. In fact, it seemed much more creamy than most vodka sauces. I tasted my husband's special- pot roast with mashed pots and brussel sprouts. The pot roast was flavorful but the brussel sprouts were almost inedible. I love me some brussel sprouts. When done correctly, they can be salty, crispy and savory. These brussel sprouts were mushy and bland. Overall, the food was average for this type of restaurant. I doubt I will return to GV's because there are many other family style restaurants around with more flavorful selections.
