Vahl's Restaurant & Cocktail is a hidden gem in Alviso! 🌟 The charm of the historic setting is complemented by live piano music that makes dining here feel special. I had the creamy fettuccine alfredo paired with a delightful glass of Chianti, both done to perfection. The fast service kept the evening flowing smoothly, and I truly appreciated the cozy atmosphere. Whether you're going solo or with friends, this place is perfect for lunch or dinner. Don't skip the happy hour - great deals on drinks! Cheers to a lovely evening! 🍷🎶
Super friendly historic locals bar.Family owned for generations. People struck up conversation with me immediately after I sat down and someone even bought my beer. Talked to a local fisherman about the good spots around and the history of the place. I'll definitely stop back in next time I'm in the area
I was visiting Great America and decided on a whim to stop here for a beer and quick dinner.The atmosphere was quaint.Lots of local people.I was obviously and outsider but didn't feel like it.I chit chatted with a couple of people while karaoke was happening.The guy that places the piano and the lady that served us were the owners.I even got a goodbye as I got up to leave with my daughter.
Welcome back to the 1950s! Amazing place, unchanged by time, with original decor and good food with friendly service.Note that there are two doors, one to the cocktail bar which was loud and dominated by a TV and equally loud barman surrounded by people who looked as if they lived there, and another for the restaurant which was completely empty when I was there but set for full dinner service.
