Their menu changes every week, so these things may or

may not be there if you go. And, before I sound like a

complete pig, they do tapas (aka small plates) and you

have a few dishes.

Last night I had scallops wrapped in ham, caramelized

Brussels sprouts (sounds gross but are really good),

and a hanger steak with mashed potatoes.

They also had a carrott soup and some sort of lamb

thing.

It's a fairly small selection compared to the regular

menu, but very good.

I found their web site. I may try it next time I'm in WC:

http://www.va-de-vi-bistro.com/

(They don't have their GF menu listed but their other menus are online)

Thanks! BIL lives in Walnut Creek - we usually go to that Chinese place with the GF menu - I'm having a brain freeze right now. But "It's all about wine" as Va de Vi translates, with the outdoor seating, sounds right up my alley!

Subject: [ ] Va De Vi in Walnut Creek

Just wanted to let everyone know that Va Di Vi is very

Celiac friendly. I've eaten there many times, but last

night, they gave me their new "gluten free" menu.

Apparently, they've had so many people asking about

gluten that they decided to make up a gluten free menu

instead of having to ask the chef every time. If I

recall correctly, one of the chef's friends has Celiac

and so he knows about it.

It's a tad pricey, but the food, wine and atmosphere

are all great. It's hard to get in, so definitely make

a reservation (www.opentable.com works pretty well).
