Had a great experience for a family reunion dinner at Vela Restaurant. Food was fantastic and was good value. The atmosphere was bright and inviting. The only minor complaint is the service could have been a bit better (quicker), but that may have been because it was a Sunday night. I get it. Overall, a great place for a nice Thai dinner with loved ones. I hope they can keep up the high standard and good value. I will be back.

A big fan of this restaurant. I’ve dined there 3 times in the past week for various occasions and all experiences have been exceptional. Margaritas are perfectly made and complement the style of Thai food well. Bites & Skewers all amazing and the duck curry and short ribs are other dishes we’ve enjoyed.
