My girlfriend and I went to Velvet Buffalo for our 1 year anniversary and couldn’t be happier! The food was fantastic and our server, Karen, was extremely nice and attentive and helped to make our evening even more special. Thank you to the VB staff for an amazing night!

We have enjoyed four meals at VB and it always feels like a special night. We wish the chairs were more comfortable and substantial. That would make the experience a five for me.

Thank you for the stars! We hope next time you dine with us our chairs are more comfortable and we can earn that 5th star! - Trent Thomas, Assistant General Manager

Don’t expect to get seated at your reservation time on a Saturday night. We waited almost 30 minutes past our reservation time for a table. Received our drinks and appetizers quickly, but then again waited a long time to get our entrees. Food and wait staff are always good here. If you are going on a Saturday and don’t like to wait, book the first seating of the night.

We all had a fabulous evening. The service, food and ambience were amazing. We are already planning our next girls night out! Everything was fantastic; the service and drinks at the rooftop, the hostess and server were so attentive and nice. I couldn’t ask for a better birthday dinner. Thank you 😊
