   It was my first time at Velvet Buffalo. I had always heard great things about it. We went to celebrate the holiday with friends. My girlfriend and I ordered Chicken Garganelli. It was very bland with literally no flavor. We asked for pesto in the hopes it would be better, but it was not. I ate about 1/4 of my meal. Waitress offered free dessert, but left hungry. She then told us that she got another complaint about the bland flavor from another customers. She told us they had tried a new recipe in the kitchen and apologized. After realizing their mistake, I would have thought they would have offered a free meal, or a coupon to return. As it is, I’m not sure I would go again. Disappointed!

   My girlfriend and I went to Velvet Buffalo for our 1 year anniversary and couldn’t be happier! The food was fantastic and our server, Karen, was extremely nice and attentive and helped to make our evening even more special. Thank you to the VB staff for an amazing night!

   We have enjoyed four meals at VB and it always feels like a special night. We wish the chairs were more comfortable and substantial. That would make the experience a five for me.

   Don’t expect to get seated at your reservation time on a Saturday night. We waited almost 30 minutes past our reservation time for a table. Received our drinks and appetizers quickly, but then again waited a long time to get our entrees. Food and wait staff are always good here. If you are going on a Saturday and don’t like to wait, book the first seating of the night.

    We all had a fabulous evening. The service, food and ambience were amazing. We are already planning our next girls night out! Everything was fantastic; the service and drinks at the rooftop, the hostess and server were so attentive and nice. I couldn’t ask for a better birthday dinner. Thank you 😊
