Vessel is absolutely amazing. We went for my friend's birthday and the staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. We started with the fish dip and calamari and for our Entress we had the seared scallop risotto and seafood pasta. For dessert we had the bread pudding. The cocktails were equally amazing. Everything was exceptional from start to finish! We are planning to come back for brunch this weekend.

The Tomahawk Steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. It was me and 2 of my girlfriends. We shared the Tomahawk Tuesday special and it was just enough for us to get full. The blueberry lemonade drops topped if off for us. We will be back real soon.
