Restaurant
Vee Vee
Vee Vee is one of the best american restaurants in Boston for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Jamaica Plain.
Vee Vee has been a Jamaica Plain institution, when Dan and Kristen Valachovic opened what is essentially a 35-seat neighborhood living room off Centre Street — unhurried, art-lined, and deliberately unpretentious.
