    November 29, 2024 3 couples: flat steak, duck, hamburger, cod, vegetarian (veg rissoto & Tuscan salad, and seafood pasta. Everyone raved about their choice; plenty of food; taste created carefully and intentionally. Our server was a delight. Desserts were very well received. We chose Basque Cheese Cake. It was divine.

    Good service, nice drinks, but one of the entrees ordered left a lot to be desired. The short rib pasta was very bland and a disappointment, especially considering the price.

    This is a lovely restaurant with a beautiful view. Service was excellent. My husband ordered the flank steak and loved it. I ordered the Halibut and it was dry and flavorless. If we’re in Rossland again we would give it another try.

    Overall the experience was great. Beautiful restaurant, Evan our server was great. Friendly, knowledgeable. The food was pretty ok. I hold a higher end restaurant such as this to a higher standard especially when a plavmce is asking the money they are. Cocktails Evan made were tasty as well. We had the Albacore. It looked wonderful and flavors we great, fish was fresh tasting. The only with that plate was I felt the Korhabi (wrong spelling) was cut to large and touch away from the softness of the rest of the dish. If they were sliced thin it would add a crunch but still feel elegant. Seasoned will. Our mains were the Seafood Risotto. Nice amount of seafood, mussels were very tasty with flavors I was uncertain about in a good way. Halibut. Large beautiful piece of Halibut that was slightly over cooked, however tasty and fresh, beurre blanc was beautiful, veggies were great. However I felt the lentals were very salty ( I like salt) but they over powered the rest of the dish and I had to push them aside. ( I would have committed in person however I was with my wife on our anniversary and I just wanted to be thankful as the night was beautiful and had a great time. We had the Creme Brule. The custard was cooked perfectly and great flavour. However the sugar on top was to dark to the point of basically burnt in areas. On a side note when walking by the kitchen window I noticed the equipment was very dirty and that was probably my low point. The back of one piece of equipment by the deep fryer and as well the boiler( I think it was) edgeswere both very brown to the point of black. As well the salad station I think out front was left dirty on a slow night, the glass was also dirty. I have been to many high end restaurants. This is not expectable in such a restaurant. Especially one that is not that old and in a hotel of a high standard. On another side note, I did not enjoy the bed and or the pillows ( very cheap pillow for a Marriott) my wife like the bed.

    I've had numerous meals at the Velvet, since I live in Rossland. My spouse and I decided to try a Brazilian night at the Velvet, thinking that the experience would be interesting and a delight to our taste buds....but it wasn't. Our server was superb, but the food was anything but imaginative, in fact it was bordering on bland. Too many beans, peas, rice and cassava, but maybe that's the diet of Brazilians; I just thought the chef could've used more creativity. Oh, and the wine list is only suitable for anyone who wants to spend a small fortune with no write up as to what kind of grape is being used and the notes; with every bottle topping $100 and definitely more, I think that bringing your own bottle and having a corkage fee would be better. Overall this evening was a "MEH".
