    Ben was our server and he was absolutely amazing. His upbeat attitude and efficient service made my birthday dinner that much more special. Vessel and their staff are always very accommodating and kind especially for larger parties. Favorite restaurant for any kind of celebration, as a local. Food is consistently superb.

    Our food was so amazing but the service was a bit slow. I would go back but maybe with a smaller party and do not plan to be in a hurry.

    Rachel was our server and did a great job taking care of us. She was very knowledgeable of the menu. We had the pork belly and crab au gratin appetizer. Our entrees were shrimp and grits, filet, pasta, and redfish. All were delicious! The bartender was a true mixologist. Rachel introduced us to the chef who was very gracious and clearly loves what he does and it shows in his food. The venue was unique, cozy, and intimate. My family and I had a lovely dining experience and would definitely go back on our next trip to Nola💚
