    It was my first time at Velvet Buffalo. I had always heard great things about it. We went to celebrate the holiday with friends. My girlfriend and I ordered Chicken Garganelli. It was very bland with literally no flavor. We asked for pesto in the hopes it would be better, but it was not. I ate about 1/4 of my meal. Waitress offered free dessert, but left hungry. She then told us that she got another complaint about the bland flavor from another customers. She told us they had tried a new recipe in the kitchen and apologized. After realizing their mistake, I would have thought they would have offered a free meal, or a coupon to return. As it is, I’m not sure I would go again. Disappointed!

    We have enjoyed four meals at VB and it always feels like a special night. We wish the chairs were more comfortable and substantial. That would make the experience a five for me.

    Thank you for the stars! We hope next time you dine with us our chairs are more comfortable and we can earn that 5th star! - Trent Thomas, Assistant General Manager

    Don’t expect to get seated at your reservation time on a Saturday night. We waited almost 30 minutes past our reservation time for a table. Received our drinks and appetizers quickly, but then again waited a long time to get our entrees. Food and wait staff are always good here. If you are going on a Saturday and don’t like to wait, book the first seating of the night.

    We all had a fabulous evening. The service, food and ambience were amazing. We are already planning our next girls night out! Everything was fantastic; the service and drinks at the rooftop, the hostess and server were so attentive and nice. I couldn’t ask for a better birthday dinner. Thank you 😊
