    Table was ready on time as per our reservation. Char grilled oysters were good as usual. I had Caesar with salmon. It was good but salmon was just a bit fishy tasting. Cocktails were delicious. Highlight of the evening was definitely the service, Heidi was outstanding, delivering flawless service. It was a very enjoyable experience.

    My friend and I booked a table at Vessel this evening and found our experience to have met our high expectations. Our reservation was set for 6:30 and we were seated at 6:30. Our waiter greeted us with a very pleasant demeanor and provided us with excellent recommendations. We both ordered the Salmon with Brussel Sprouts and our dishes arrived in a timely fashion. The fish was prepared to perfection and the brussel sprouts were seasoned impeccably. Our entire experience did not disappoint and we will be recommending this beautiful restaurant to family and friends.
