    Vessel NOLA was quite an experience. From the hostess to waitstaff, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The decor was great for a romantic evening or a casual dinner date. The food was impeccable. If you’re ever in NOLA, I’d recommend visiting Vessel NOLA. Great food, nice ambiance and an awesome staff.

    My wife and I ate here for Valentine’s Day. We had the Oyster Bordelaise appetizer to start. The oyster were cooked perfectly, with a light batter but still an excellent texture and very tasteful seasoning and accompaniment. Caesar salad was also ordered and one of the better salads I’ve had in a quite some time. I order the 6oz Steak and my wife had the shrimp pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly, excellent sauce and sizeable shrimp (also cooked nicely) Steak was great and so were the roasted potato and mushroom argodolce. First time there. We will definitely be back. Service was also excellent.
