Went to Vessel NOLA for a Bridal Shower and it was beautiful in there. I had the shrimp and grits topped with crab meat and a side of eggs and everything was amazing.
The food was excellent. The chef even made a vegetarian meal for my husband on request. And Jimmy, our waiter, was very helpful and friendly. The whole dining experience was enjoyable.
Beautiful atmosphere. We were surprised to see not so many diners when we arrived but our reservation was late. The food was delicious, and the service was great. Ordered a cocktail and mocktail from Donna who clearly is a trained mixologist, an excellent drink with just the right amount of everything. My filet was cooked to perfection, my husband ordered the salmon which was also very good. We both cleaned our plates.
Vessel NOLA was quite an experience. From the hostess to waitstaff, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was impeccable. If you’re ever in NOLA, I’d recommend visiting Vessel NOLA. Great food, nice ambiance and an awesome staff.
My friends and I were in town for Taylor Swift and came here for brunch on Sunday. The restaurant is so pretty and had the perfect vibe for a patio brunch. I ordered the specialty cocktail and a mimosa, smoked fish dip and the classic eggs Benedict. All my food was really yummy. Someone in our party had a problem with her order and they fixed it quickly. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in town.
We had breakfast, and everything was truly decadent! We had the cheese plate, the classic breakfast of eggs, bacon, a biscuit and grits, the chicken sandwich with pickles and remoulade sauce, and the chicken and waffles. We ordered 2 delicious drinks. The service was prompt, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Aside from the food, the most impressive aspect was the location. This restaurant is located inside a repurposed church. It was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend you make a reservation next time you're in NOLA.
This was our first time here. We were celebrating my birthday. The food was delicious and the service was great. We had Ben as our waiter and he was so great. Knowledgeable and on top of it. We recommend the shrimp cakes, crab dip, Korean bbq pork belly and the creme brulee. We will definitely go back here the next time we are in town!
Visited last Wednesday and I have to tell yuh we had the best experience. Ben was our server and everyone was so welcoming! Dirty martinis were top notch! Food was amazing! One of the best salmon dinners and rossito ever had. Can’t wait to come back when we visit NOLA!
