It was my actual birthday on January 14. I sent a confirmation email the day before to say I was coming. I was running 45 minutes late as I had an emergency and the convention was in town so traffic. I got there to find out my reservation was cancelled and no one called.

Ruined my Sister’s Surprise Birthday Party

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I booked a large dinner party for my sister’s surprise birthday party. I booked it a month in advanced, paid the deposit, communicated with Gia the event coordinator several times. I received a text a couple days before confirming my reservation to have all my guests show up to a CLOSED venue! I received no call, email, or text from Vesper. I called them several times to no avail. My friends and family were scrambling to find a place that would accommodate 16 people on a Saturday night. 2 days later, still received no call or apologies from Vesper. I finally emailed Gia about the situation and all she said was sorry with no explanation, besides that the hostess was supposed to call me. I explained how upset I was because it was for a surprise birthday party and not just for a night out. She said she would refund me and provide me with a gift card. I did receive a refund BUT DID NOT receive a gift card. Absolutely horrible customer service!!

I booked a brunch reservation to celebrate my birthday and received a text message two days before my event saying they had maintenance issues and will no longer be able to host the event. I understand things happen but I did find it a bit unprofessional on how I was notified. Either way, I requested a full refund which I was advised takes 5-6 business days. We are now on the 9th business day and still no refund! I have reached out regarding my refund and received no response! Super disappointed with my whole experience with Vesper!

Great fun place to party went for a bar crawl. Their tables are for renting so me and my friends had to hold our plates and eat but otherwise great place.

My friend had booked a reservation here and the day before they TEXTED HER and told her it was closed. They did give her a refund but, they just said it was for maintenance. Meanwhile this reservation was for her BIRTHDAY. This conduct was unprofessional and we WILL NOT EVEN ATTEMPT to go back here. 0/0 stars.

Vesper was a lit bottomless mimosa brunch.The food was okay but the servers were great and very attentive. The bottles of champagne never stopped coming. A new bottle always arrives as soon as one was finished. The music was fantastic and if it’s your birthday, you will receive a slice of cake with a sparkler in it.

WARNING!!! DO NOT reserve in advanced if you aren’t 100% sure you can go. They are unresponsive via text, phone call, or email. They will never answer you.

Came to vespers for the Sunday dinner brunch to celebrate my birthday and I must say I had a great time it’s hard to find a place that gives a vibe working in hospitality because we’re always working the hours normal people are partying. Ashley and Paige made sure I had the best night I had in a long time and I appreciate them dearly , DJ bry definitely did his thing had a little karaoke session with him too . My friends are already talking about planning another outing there ❤️

I got a Saturday nightlife section for my friend's bachelor party. We had a good time, but we had A LOT of questions about how the money works and we couldn't call them, only text, and they hardly answered the texts. And we HAD to buy expensive drinks from a specific menu. Also our section was RIGHT in front of the DJ's speakers and it was way too loud. I was not able to see where we'd be placed and they said they were sold out for the night, but we didn't see anybody come to any of the closer booths that were farther from speakers and had more seats, and we were there till around midnight. And it was just way too much money. Our servers were good we just could hardly hear them. They absolutely NEED to dial back the prices and LET US CALL AND ASK QUESTIONS! That's not how you do business, that's very shady and there was a club that was probably much shadier, that was easier to get in contact with and ask questions.
