    Can not say enough good things about our dinner at Vessel. My wife and I went while on vacation for Thanksgiving Dinner. They had a three course fixed menu. Every course was Delicious. The pork was Phenomenal. Cooked to Perfection and was so tender. The drinks were strong and flavorful. Our server Ben was Fantastic. He was working Thanksgiving, yet was cheerful, prompt, and a pleasure to talk to. For being busy it was not overly loud and had a Great selection of background music playing. Last but not least, the restaurant was stunning! The Old Church was so Beautiful and the Bar was so neatly designed. Will absolutely be back when in town

    We have often dined at Ruth's Chris on Fulton St. in New Orleans, but having moved from the French Quarter to the Lakefront we had never tried Ruth's Chris in Metairie, until now.. It far exceeded our expectations. Our waiter Chase, was a pro, very attentive and professional. The meal was fabulous! I think we have found a "new best place". and a "new Thanksgiving tradition, dining with Ruth's Chris."
