    My first visit to Vessel was phenomenal! I selected scallops with risotto and the roasted asparagus after discussing the menu with my waiter. I chose this dish based on his recommendation and was very pleased. Presentation was stunning and the food was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the vibes that the restaurant projected and was pleased with my interactions with the staff. I definitely will be back and will bring my coworkers with me.

    A wonderful three course meal was in store for Christmas Day! I was hoping for Fire-Grilled Oysters, but not offered on their special Christmas Day menu. However, an incredible Gumbo and a slightly spicy Corn-Crab Bisque took their place. Followed by the best Crab Cake ever, and that includes all the ones I used to get in Maryland and Virginia! Next, my partner ordered the Shrimp Cappellini Pasta topped with lump crab meat - exceptionally seasoned pasta and shrimp cooked to perfection. I ordered the Snapper Hemingway - Snapper with a Parmesan Crust topped with lump crab meat and a lemon butter sauce, served with Pimento Cheese Grits and grilled Asparagus. So incredibly tasty! The Pimento Cheese Grits were the perfect companion to the crisp, crunch of the Parmesan crusted Snapper. The only downside to the meal was the grilled Asparagus which was woody and mushy. We ended our feast with a rich, creamy Key Lime Pie - the real kind, not that fake green stuff that is served all too often. A truly excellent meal with very attentive wait staff who seemed to magically appear just when you needed them. Bravo!
