Nice but pretty expensive. We went with the table servings that we shared between our group of 6. This was nice because several of our party were light eaters. Two table size entrees and two side portions could be shared between 3-4 people. Food was delicious. I missed taking photo of the cornbread, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes….sorry. Standard mixed drink prices were fine, specialty drinks could cost twice the standard drinks. Still a nice place for a special occasion. Highly recommended. A nice atmosphere with tremendous food and a great wine list. We had the baby back ribs and the parpadelle along with a red flight that included a few nice wines including a Chilean from Colchagua and an Italian Rosso. The Ube brulee was an unexpected take on this classic dessert. Terrific dining experience. Birthdays are wonderful, especially the one I just or perhaps am still celebrating. Came here to discover a new spot before the rest of the celebration continued. I suggest reservations since it’s popular being so central to Ball Arena (Tate McRae concert that night), ball games and just typical downtown events and busyness. Parking is street but we snagged a spot close by. While we read it is a great date spot, I disagree for first dates. Quite loud, not an intimate setting and would make for awkwardness. The place is nicely decorated with purple lit wine racks and green velvet benches. But it’s lacking a certain sexy vibe to showcase the creativity of the chef and excellent staff. Thoughtful in having a birthday note at our table to greet us, staff is quick and friendly always ready to make sure your needs are attended to immediately. Reanna was sweet, attentive and knowledgeable. Her suggestions were on point since it suited our taste style. Cocktails are wonderful with the Death by Daiquiri being a favorite. It’s light and refreshing contrasted against its sister the Jungle Bird, a warmer sexy cocktail. The wine selection is a great variety to choose from and couldn’t resist the French rose and Spanish cava. One of the most gluten free option menus for downtown and a welcome surprise. We decided against the shareable entrees but highly suggest the rack of lamb. That looks so scrumptious. We opted for several plates to share like the salmon crudo. Ooeemmggee what a creative and yummy dish. It was a gorgeous presentation. The cold blueberry granita looked like caviar but marrying it with the creme fraiche and jalapeño was perfection. Light refreshing and incredibly chef genius. The meatballs, gluten free surprisingly, was great with the sourdough focaccia. The marrow butter is THE most mouth watering oozy goodness you could devour. Personally I am a big fan of birthday candles and birthday sparkles on my birthday dessert. But sadly my ube brulee came out naked with only pistachio crumbs to meet me. It’s such a unique taste and quite rich without being overfilling. The pistachios add that extra for the dish. Overall I think you should stop in and have the items and graze a bit. I think when you love yourself a little extra, it’s about to get magical. Thank you for spending the evening feeding me Velvet Cellar.

Went here for the first time to celebrate my and my husband's wedding anniversary. The staff had reserved us a booth with a cute card informing that we were celebrating our anniversary. We were offered complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate, and each staff member we interacted with were very attentive, kind, and bubbly. The food was exceptional, both in taste and in plating. The cocktails were phenomenal as well. Very happy we found this restaurant and had such a fantastic anniversary celebration experience ❤️ highly recommended!

Everything was very tasty. We had the calamari, bruschetta, steak and Marsala. Service was excellent and the white wine flight was also super delicious. The only small knock was that the calamari could have used more sauce.
