We had been here before for the happy hour so my girlfriend and I were excited. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation just to wait 45 mins to be seated. Our server only saw us twice in 50 mins after being seated and we were deceived by the NYE menu. Also I was hit twice in the head by a server.

The New Year's Eve at Vela seemed to catch them off guard. When we were seated, we were told that our table would need to be given up in 90 minutes. However, at the 90 minute mark, only one of the four courses in our prix fixe meal had been served. We were brought the bill before our meal was complete, asked to leave our table before the server could return with our credit card, and everything seemed generally discombobulated and disorganized. I have to say the food was delicious, although the twist that our prepaid for meals would have to be agreed upon collectively by the table and not individually chosen was unexpected. The servers seem to be working valiantly through the confusion and I have no complaints about any individual person, everyone was pleasant and clearly trying to make the best of a bad situation. It was New Year's Eve, and we were all in a good mood, so we still managed to have a good time even when the DJs music started to pump up to the point where we couldn't hear each other across the table. I'm not sure what a normal night at Vela is, hopefully it's less frantic!

Vela was certainly memorable. We dined at the New Year’s Eve celebration featuring a prix fixe menu, thought it was the restaurant’s à la carte menu at a fixed price: a choose your own adventure if you will. Simply put, the food was fantastic and the service was exceptional. However, the restaurant seems to still be figuring out its modus operandi. The ambiance was refined and cozy, with a curated playlist that took me to another world. The guacamole, quinoa avocado salad, and aged wagyu tabla de carnes were all exceptional: a modern and vibrant take on flavors I grew up with. The restaurant seems to still be inexperienced. For the New Year’s Eve dinner, the tables were way too packed together, reminiscent of an economy flight. Wholly uncomfortable and unexpected given such a cool ambiance. Here, Vela’s customer service shined by reseating us at the bar allowing us to enjoy our meal without inadvertently eavesdropping on our neighbor’s conversation. From what I’ve gathered, this table setup was exclusive to New Year’s Eve; I learned that the restaurant opened in July and this was their first New Year’s Eve experience. As much as I would love to give Vela five stars, their inexperience showed. The food was good and Vela ultimately demonstrated great customer service, but I cannot overlook the economy-flight style seating given that I have never dined with Vela before. I recommend Vela to people looking to try a new take on Mexican and similar flavors in a cozy/modern ambiance. I look forward to dine at Vela again, hopefully it will be a perfect experience that merits 5 stars.

10/10 experience. I reserved this spot for my best friends birthday and it did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and thoughtful. The team even wrote her a birthday card. The food was phenomenal. All flavors mesh well in every dish. Pulpo a la Parilla, Pollo a la Leña, and the empanadas were our favorites. Definitely plan on coming back to try other dishes and for any other celebratory needs.
