Went to the restaurant for a birthday and it was a memorable experience. The staff were very welcoming and kind and were on point with service. The best dish of the night was the house speciality Ragu De Pappardelle as you can taste the freshness of the pasta alongside the balance between herbs and spices within the bolognese. The restaurant were very accomodating with Gluten Free substitutes and offered the same quality food across all meals.

I took my elderly parents to Vela for a family celebration on a Monday night. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean and beautifully fitted out. We ordered several dishes to share and were very pleased with all of them. Our waiter was helpful, answering our questions and repeating our order back to us to make sure it was correct.

We went to Montrachet for our anniversary and it was superb. The service, the food, the ambience, I couldn’t fault any of it. The staff were attentive and engaged, the food was magnificent - crab meat souffle, escargot and duck a la orange, all fantastic. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended
