The food is delicious. The staff is amazing. They helped me surprise my friend with a birthday song during dessert. The restaurant itself is lovely and conveniently located. It is on my favorite restaurants list and I will be visiting again soon.

Friendly staff, solid service, great food. Have gone a few times and have never been disappointed. Good location too as there are lots of smaller local businesses, plus a small movie theatre.

Branzino was very tasty. I enjoyed the bread pudding for dessert and different from the usual bread pudding. More akin to crispy French toast. Dining room was full and noisy.

The most important thing to know is both my friend and I got food poisoning. I’m guessing it was the seafood paella. Other than that, the flavors were not balanced and the food was subpar especially considering the price. The fig jam overwhelmed the burrata and the steak was horribly butchered. On top of all that, we are people who like to sit at the bar and occasionally chat with the bartender throughout the meal. The bartender clearly did not want to be there, spent most of his time on his cellphone, and did not know how to recommend a wine. If a server is clueless on a wine to recommend, they normally say let me get someone else who knows better. Instead, he acted like it was impossible to find a wine to match the different dishes. It wasn’t, we found one that paired perfectly. Unfortunately, as I said, we got food poisoning.

Love the staff, the ambience and the quality of food and drinks at Vela. Their cosmopolitan is consistently delicious, they have a selection of good wines. The truffle popcorn, cauliflower fritters, tuna tartare, and branzino are all delicious!

We needed a restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s job offer and selecting a restaurant for my clan is never easy. We need a broad menu to suit the tastes of our picky family including a foodie, a vegetarian, and a lactose intolerant, health-focused honoree. Everything went very well; our party of 4 enjoyed a lovely evening.

My Daughter took me there Wednesday night for dinner. I wasn’t expecting what I/we got. First Class Service, 5 Star presentation and cuisine (I had roasted chicken breast and my Daughter had Seared Tuna, which was prepared and cooked perfectly). Dinner for 2, (we split carpaccio), two glasses of house wine and no desert) was about $100.

This was a pleasant place, with an interesting menu and we were happy to be there. It looked like they had some regular customers and who were very comfortable eating there. But two out of the three of us thought the food was just so so. The truffle mac and cheese was a big disappointment. The sliders and the salads were good. I really didn’t care much for the tuna tartare, although I really like tuna and grilled tuna extremely rare. The tuna was covered in some kind of a sauce but I didn’t much care for.
