    Jeff our waiter was phenomenal, he did not rush us and was very pleasant . He had a great energy and enjoyed what he did and it showed . He made the night ! Food was excellent and speciality drinks and turtle soup were amazing ! Great table too . Room was loud when filled, hard to hear at our table ; suggest some type of ceiling dampers to decrease noise level for a better fine dining experience .

    My first visit to Vessel was phenomenal! I selected scallops with risotto and the roasted asparagus after discussing the menu with my waiter. I chose this dish based on his recommendation and was very pleased. Presentation was stunning and the food was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the vibes that the restaurant projected and was pleased with my interactions with the staff. I definitely will be back and will bring my coworkers with me.
