    Food and service was amazing. The music was loud at times making it difficult to have a conversation. Overall, a great experience, and I would go back.

    It was my first time dining at Desi Vega. It won’t be my last. Restaurant is beautiful, white table cloths, heavy wooden furniture and a beautiful bar. My friend and I were trying new places during Restaurant Week. Desi Vega did not disappoint. The amuse bouche’ was probably the best meatball that I have ever had. We ordered the calamari, the addition of olive salad was wonderful. Next, we split a seafood salad. Delicious! And then we had the red fish and vegetables special. It was fabulous. We finished with chocolate mousse. The service was outstanding. Terrance so took care of us! We ordered way too much food and he graciously packed the food leftover for us to go. He even threw in a few surprises for us. I can honestly say that the leftovers were spot on the next day. It was c such a lovely experience that I can’t wait to go back! Thanks Terrance for taking such good care of us!

    I have very mixed reviews on this restaurant. The service was very friendly, but also very slow. Took a while to get drinks and then took almost 40 minutes to get a steak, medium rare. It came out undercooked, so I had them throw it back on for a couple minutes and then it was better. The steak was a ribeye and was ok. Had a large fat line dividing the steak and was WAY too salty. I actually wound up sick that night and the next day but can’t say for sure it was the food. The ambiance was great and people were friendly, but I would t go back again.

    I was truly excited to take my husband here for his birthday surprise and father's day as this was our first experience, especially being out of town and seeing the great reviews. He is a steak lover of course and the atmosphere was quite lovely and they treated us all like royalty. My family and I definitely enjoyed how they made you feel welcome and special. The thing that made the night go a little downhill for his special night was the length of time it took to get our food, which was a little over an hour. The second thing was having to sit there another hour or so to just to eventually retrieve our check and barely getting checked in on due to staff becoming overly busy. They eventually brought out dessert to try and make it right, which was thoughtful, but we still ended up sitting there another hour or so trying to get the check to leave, only to then have them correct the ticket 2 times due to charging us for the dessert and another item. The steak was a little overcooked but for medium but it was properly seasoned so I didn't want to send it back after having to wait all that time already. We did enjoy the atmosphere other than it not being great timing. The servers were very friendly and funny and tried to make everything special.

    We are locals and returned to this great Warehouse District restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and were totally delighted with our visit, especially by the personal and attentive service by Kevin and his team (Macy, Christiana, Tre). Our Martini and Weller Reserve (on a Rock) cocktails were expertly crafted, and appetizers Tuna Napoleon and Shrimp soup offered a perfect prelude to our sizzling medium-rare Filet Mignon and Ribeye steaks, accompanied by sides of Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus, complemented by a Napa Valley Merlot. Thank you for another fine dining experience, perfect!

    We booked a 545pm reservation at the restaurant prior to a 8pm concert at the Smoothie King Arena. Close to the venue so a great choice. Excellent dining experience and must say the service was superb for this local steakhouse. The Bibb salad was very tasty and followed it up with a bone-in Filet with lobster tail for a great surf and turf. Everything cooked to perfection. Will definitely return.
