We gave this place a try after reading reviews and we were not disappointed! It was not crowded when we arrived as it was a Tuesday night, but I made reservations just in case. The atmosphere is casual but elegant, the wait staff was very friendly and made great recommendations, and the food was delicious. We did find that the wait to get out food was a bit longer than we expected. Our reservation was for 7:30pm and by the time we ordered and waited for food to come out, it was 8:40pm. But the staff was attentive the entire night and over all we enjoyed our experience. We were celebrating a birthday and the restaurant was kind enough to put a happy birthday card on our table for our arrival. I definitely recommend trying the roasted butternut squash! It's fantastic!

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.

Had a great time celebrating a birthday at Velvet Cellar. The staff were very attentive. The food was decent. Very intimate atmosphere and very private especially for someone who is neurodivergent or has social anxiety

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.
