The steak was cooked properly and the house salad was delicious as always. I ate at the bar and the bartender was great. Her twin sister is the reason I started going there .

My friend and I booked a table at Vessel this evening and found our experience to have met our high expectations. Our reservation was set for 6:30 and we were seated at 6:30. Our waiter greeted us with a very pleasant demeanor and provided us with excellent recommendations. We both ordered the Salmon with Brussel Sprouts and our dishes arrived in a timely fashion. The fish was prepared to perfection and the brussel sprouts were seasoned impeccably. Our entire experience did not disappoint and we will be recommending this beautiful restaurant to family and friends.

The food was delicious. We ordered the chicken that came in a skillet. Probably the best chicken we have had. The soup was great too. No room for dessert.
