VELE is an elegant restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. As soon as guests walk in, they are surrounded by elegance and a friendly staff that is extremely knowledgeable about their dishes and drinks. The spicy seafood spaghetti, made with squid ink pasta, remains a standout dish, featuring a satisfying amount of crab and shrimp. While the pasta texture may not be the typical al dente, it is appreciated for its soft and silky quality.
The drinks at VELE receive high praise, especially the handcrafted cocktails made by Wade & Joe, who are noted for their expertise. Guests can enjoy unique options like a smoked glass of Rye and Espresso mixed drink, which adds a special touch. One reviewer mentioned that the drinks were absolutely amazing and worth the extra cost for the presentation. The service is attentive and detailed, with the manager personally addressing any issues and ensuring customer satisfaction, even offering complimentary desserts and cocktails.
VELE is a popular choice for special occasions, such as anniversaries and birthdays, with an atmosphere that is both classy and inviting. The lollipop lamb chops are highlighted as a must-try, and the dessert options, including cheesecake and crème brûlée, leave diners dreaming about them long after the meal. Overall, VELE impresses with its incredible food, stellar service, and perfect vibe, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience. Reservations are recommended for weekends, but sitting at the bar allows guests to glimpse into the kitchen without the need for a reservation.
