    We loved the food and the service --- both were outstanding. Outrageously delicious cornbread. Fabulous boudin and cracklin. I am drooling just typing this. The hostess was delightful as was our waiter. The drinks were great -- all in all a 10/10 New Orleans experience.

    Always a fun, festive time at Ye Ol College Inn. We bowled first then walked over with our family and dined early. The atmosphere is great and kid friendly. Oyster poboys was delicious and everyone was very happy with their dinner. I think it’s our new day after Christmas tradition!

    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.

    Food and service were exceptional. We had the ceviche’ and lobster ravioli appetizers then ordered Hallibut with scallops and shrimp risotto — the signature dish — and the Parmesan-crusted sheepshead with lemon butter and browned capers served either asparagus as our main courses. Everything was perfectly prepared! We ordered 3 desserts to top it all off: the salty malty ice cream pie, the white chocolate bread pudding and the chocolate mouse in a dark chocolate dome with raspberry gelee’. Perfect evening. Except for learning at the end of the night that our parking would not be validated. We were not told to bring the parking ticket to the front desk at the beginning of the night. If you go to GW Finn’s and expect to get parking validated, do not pay the garage when you park (despite the fact that all of the signs in the garage and the boots on cars are somewhat threatening in there). Instead, take your unpaid parking garage ticket directly to the front desk at the restaurant for validation with a picture of your license plate. This was the only sour note of our evening. Otherwise, it was perfect!
