Vela Kitchen consistently impresses with its wonderful food, accommodating staff, and an owner who cares about guests. The crispy calamari is a standout, and dishes like pan-seared branzino with cauliflower rice and lobster paella with saffron risotto are cooked to perfection. The menu is inventive, featuring both regular items and daily specials, providing a variety of options for diners. The atmosphere inside is relaxing and inviting, making it a great place for a peaceful and romantic meal. The staff is friendly, warm, and often knows guests' orders in advance, which adds to the welcoming experience. Customers particularly enjoy the cauliflower corn fritters, and the beautifully prepared entrees, such as the wasabi crusted tuna and swordfish special with mashed potatoes and mango salsa, are highly recommended. The meal often ends with a lovely dessert like ricotta kisses or peach cobbler, providing a sweet finish. Overall, Vela Kitchen is a favorite local restaurant that offers excellent food, top-notch service, and a cozy environment at reasonable prices in Northern Westchester.
