vik's wheelhouse

relax. this is a small mexican restaurant that sits right on the water. there are floor to ceiling windows on the side facing the river; this added ambiance makes it so much easier to sit inside and view the beautiful sunset with a glass of wine and good company. the interior is a maritime theme, very nice. it is simple and comfortable; aplacewhere you can really relax after a tortuous day.

this is a young restaurant and there are many wrinkles to iron out.

the menu is limited but the food is really good; the chef will not cook your food until it is ordered (i really like that). which means, be prepared to sit for awhile and relax while your dinner is cooking.

there is seating on the dock (for lack of a better word), outside, very nice to have lunch or dinner outside in the summer.

i highly recommend visiting vik's at least once, just to experience the friendly service provided by vik's staff.

brad w.. greatplaceto get a cold beer or drink on the vallejo waterfront. outstanding view, good food and reasonably priced.

the best asset of thisplaceis the people who both work and party there. thisplaceis a cross between cheers in boston and a jimmy buffet waterfront bar.

i look foward to their new season starting this spring.

comfortable and charming!. i had the opportunity to patronize vick's wheel a few weeks ago after picking my mom up at the ferry building. we went on over to take a peek and we were pleasantly suprised to see a very cute little lunch and cocktailplacehad evolved from a closed little building. upon entering i noticed a very cozy firplace and bar with tables and outside seating as well. what a wonderful idea for anyone in the area or getting on/off the ferry to have a leisurely lunch. very comfortable atmosphere and friendly wait staff. i will be sure to go there for lunch in the very near future! rose childress
