A Bittersweet Experience at The Velvet We chose The Velvet to celebrate our anniversary, expecting a top-tier dining experience given the price and reputation of the place. From the start, the ambiance, music, and staff were outstanding. The service was excellent, and the drinks were well-crafted, setting a great tone for the evening. However, the food was disappointing. We ordered the mussels, tenderloin, and swordfish, but every dish lacked flavor—even the sides. Something as simple as French fries was bland, which was both surprising and frustrating. For a $250 CAD bill, we expected a high-quality culinary experience, but the food simply didn’t live up to the standard. If you're looking for a place with great service, a nice atmosphere, and well-made drinks, The Velvet delivers. But if food is your top priority, you might want to explore other options.

Delicious and great service! Recommend to anyone in town.

First time going here with my wife. Overall the food was good, a bit limited on options, and pricier. But overall it was good. I would eat here again, too expensive to be a regular visit but is alright for the odd date night out.

Absolutely amazing food and service! We will definitely return. Only suggestion would be a different playlist, other than that it was incredible.

Excellent cocktails. Outstanding food, and very good service.
