    Haven't encountered Villeny's issues so I think they've got it together. It's in our neighborhood, have been a few times, went not long ago. Met in the downstairs tequila room for a drink before...tried a couple of flights. Upstairs, had more tequila, in margaritas (this was a fun evening). Faves were daikon taco, good for hot weather & crunchy; thai lettuce wraps, same, good spice; entrees--lamb loin, halibut. Also liked the volcano roll and the chipotle miso. Recommended.

        went right when it opened in April, service was absolutely horrendous. Our meal took 3 hrs!!! granted it was opening week and they just hadn't figured it out, hope they've gotten their act together. the food was fine, I do remember it being very salty. we didn't actually get everything we ordered (but did get the food that was ordered from other tables) so kind of hard to review the food

          i haven't been but the space is cool and the menu looks good. the original is in DC and gets great reviews.
