    I recently held my birthday dinner in the courtyard at Vessel and it couldn't have been a better experience. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food and drinks was perfection. It's a lovely courtyard with beautiful lighting (and a tv for those wanting to keep up with whatever major game is on, though the sound was not loud or distracting in the slightest). Our server was attentive and engaging, and kept up flawlessly with our large group. The food was delicious; we ordered an assortment of items for appetizers, entrees, and desserts (my faves being the smoked fish dip, seared scallop risotto, the filet, and the key lime pie), and everything was wonderful! While we loved sitting outside, the interior is absolutely stunning and we will definitely go back to sit inside. If you live locally or are visiting, this place is definitely worth a stop.

    Food and service is normally amazing. The last visit service was slower than normal and didn't care for the appetizer (crab meat and spinach).
