Vela was recommended to us by our daughter in law, and boy did it deliver plus some. We were warmly greeted when the restaurant opened, we were taken to a nice table. The servers were courteous and asked if we would like sparkling water then informed us they would start our meals, there was three of us so we had the Set 1, menu. Each course was delicious from the oysters at the start through to the tira misu at the end and I would not hesitate in recommending Vela to any curious diner. Before we left, my wife and I were contemplating on when we will come again. Thank you so much Vela, and Tam for recommending them.

Had such a fun night of dining and cocktails for my birthday! We were a group of 10, and really appreciated being able to order à la carte, especially with vegetarians and pescatarians in the group. The great variety of cocktails added to the celebration. This was my second visit, and I’d definitely recommend it for either a cozy, intimate dinner or a bigger get-together. The traditional Thai food was absolutely delicious, served in a funky, stylish setting.
