First visit here. Nice atmosphere. We sat outside. Our server was very nice. Slow getting food out. Do not order the lamb burger. We both ordered it. Could not get passed the first bite. Please just put a regular burger on the menu. Menu is limited to brunch type foods. So wanted to like this restaurant.

We always love to go there for a date night, but it was disappointed last night. We were sitting there for one hour to wait for the appetizer. We asked for some bread and butter while we were waiting.The waiter told me that they don’t have butter. I was shocked at that point. Finally we got the wine bottle, he gave us the glasses for white wine, and I asked him if we can have the red wine glasses. Turns out he got me two different shaped glasses for us. I understand that they might have a long day, but it doesn’t mean you have to lower your service standards. The food were alright, a little bit cold. I’m really disappointed.

Great cocktails and atmosphere. Good for appetizers, entrees we’re lacking flavor

Hurricane Ida-related struggles we experienced on Sept 19:
(1) Outdoor seating temporarily closed due to trash not being picked up. Looks like a beautiful patio setting. (2) Two of approximately 6 entrees unavailable, as restaurant struggles with kitchen staff not yet returning. (3) Only negative experience with otherwise delicious food was that mashed potatoes with steak entree were not very hot.

Great brunch experience!!

I was really excited to try this place. While the atmosphere was super cool, everything else fell flat. The service was honestly pretty bad, and it was a slow night. We were seated for 30 min before anyone greeted us.. the specialty cocktails we ordered weren’t the best, but might’ve tasted better had they come out in less than 40 min with 3 bartenders working. The food was very ok for the price ($26 for a burger/$42 for the steak), but I did like the wine selection. I would maybe return for a glass of wine with co-workers, but definitely not for another $150 meal.

Vessel was our first post Ida night out and Vessel was the right spot. The cheese plate and crawfish croquettes were a great start. We also had the fish, burger, and steak and each was perfect. The service from Madeline was outstanding. Looking forward to dining at Vessel again - soon.

I recently enjoyed brunch with my mother for her birthday at Vessel shortly after Hurricane Ida. While I’m sure Hurricane Ida impacted this restaurant and it’s staff, as customers we didn’t feel it. The food and the service was aces. All staff we encountered were friendly and high spirited. Even though the restaurant was full we were immediately seated at our table, and our drinks, appetizers, and entrees were all served promptly. We also delighted in the unique and elegant decor.

Perfect brunch even with limited menu post Hurricane Ida. Just what we needed. Shrimp and grits excellent and the burger was phenomenal

My friends from New York came to visit New Orleans and we had plans to grab brunch but Hurricane Ida decided to throw a wrench in our plans. Everything was closed in the city except this beautiful gem. Vessel staff were so accommodating! We had the entire place to ourselves. The waitress checked in on us frequently and she was so bubbly. Great ambiance for sure. Can’t wait to go back.

We enjoyed an early dinner here. Our favorites were the scallops, obviously fresh pasta in the shrimp fettuccini we ordered.
They have this really tasty drink called glance my way. I’m a tequila girl, and it was so crisp and refreshing. I will be back.

What a beautiful venue to feel the soul of NOLA. The staff was great and very friendly. Would go back!

They check for proof of vacianations which I appreciated. Brunch was outstanding and they have fans over the outside area to help with the heat

Vessel had quite an incredible atmosphere however the food was very subpar and overpriced. I would not recommend this place to friend.

The meal was fine. Unfortunately the appetizers weren’t all brought out at the same time and after waiting a bit the entrees arrived when we began eating appetizers.

Wonderful dinner! We had a six top and everyone has a fantastic time. The food and drinks were delicious. Very attentive servers. The building is also obviously stunning.

Lamb burger gamey.

Vessel is one of our favorites and last night’s dining was wonderful as usual.
Service, food and drink was GREAT!
We will be back again soon!

Shrimp & grits were on point, great serving size, nice selection of cocktails and wine. Loved the old church vibe. Service was good too.

Great service! The food is amazing as always! The atmosphere will take your breathe away! I would recommend this place to everyone! I dream about the fries and lamb burger!!

Server was great. Drinks were great. Food came out quickly but was over salted and underwhelming. We ordered the pork belly to share. It was a pretty small plate and the pork was somewhat tough. We got the scallops with risotto and short ribs with mashed potatoes. Again everything was over salted. The risotto was better than the scallops. Mashed potatoes were very…lemony. Overpriced for what we were served.

Awful service. Took over 2 hours for food and half the dishes we ordered never came. Don’t recommend until they get their act together

too expensive for the food quality was expecting better food experience, crawfish croquettes overcook, turmeric chicken dry, and the steak did not to much of a taste

Visiting Nola from out of town and came to this unique place! Cool interior, awesome drinks and fabulous food! The cheese board was my favorite!

Food was really good brunch service is excellent this is a place you can go early Sunday morning & relax !

Vessel was a great dining experience, enjoyed the food, great cocktails, overall 10/10! I would highly recommend coming here everything was amazing, will be coming back !

I was really excited to try this place. The space is really beautiful but the food and overall presentation was not great. Maybe we were just there on an off day, but it was not my favorite.

Food was great service was awesome I'll be returning I had a waitress name Atomic she was great .

Lightening struck during our lunch so music and internet were down. Single waitress was swamped, but she kept great attitude and just kept going with the 6-8 tables. Hats off to her , bartender & cook!

Very nice. Great food, great service. Will dine there again.

Unique aesthetic and quiet atmosphere.

It was a great experience overall, it was our first time and we thoroughly enjoy the food and experience.

I was so excited to come here but after the experience I had I will not go back. The food was subpar and I ordered the Mussels and received my food 20 min after my friends received their dinners. I was assured they “were coming right out” at least 3 times before they came and all I was offered was a free tiramisu.

Omg! Food was so delicious!

The restaurant was a nice space and our food was ok, nothing spectacular. Service had a lot to be desired, but was nice enough. Cool building and space.

Great bar! Food was ok. The risotto with the scallops was bland and uninspiring. The cheese plate was delicious. The cocktails were on point.

My family, who I made the reservation for, was very pleased with the ambiance and the drink selection. They did mention that the food was a bit mediocre, but overall they did enjoy themselves.

food was great, service was impeccable, an OUTSTANDING bar that actually makes an Old Fashioned the way they SHOULD be made, with the big ball of ice and not cubes. Actually ran into actor Timothy Olyphant in there and bought him a woodward reserve old fashioned as that's what he was drinking. The experience was great even though it was a first time internet date and we were definitely NOT A MATCH. Despite that I thoroughly enjoyed the cheese plate, scallops, pims cup and old fashioneds. First time I've been there but i'll POSITIVELY go back, even if alone, and eat at that fantastic bar. Just a great overall vibe and you can't really create that; a place either has it or it doesn't and Vessel NOLA HAS IT.

Amazing food! Amazing service! Beautiful space! We will definitely be back!!!!! Def recommend! Also def try the bird of paradise cocktail!!! Soooo good!

We loved the turtle cheesecake!!
