We were very underwhelmed. The food was bland and our waitress wasn’t very attentive (we watched waiters at other tables and they were amazing…). Ambience was good!

Vela is the perfect place to go for an intimate meal. It has an interesting take on traditional dishes. What stood out for us were the drinks. They were exquisite. I hope to be back soon.

This was our first visit to Vela. We all ordered from the brunch menu. Vela is a great find. Chilaquiles with fried egg over refried beans was a favorite. We will be back

The upscale Mexico City inspired food at Vela was delicious and a unique offering in Chicago. The musical selection was perfect for the cosmopolitan Latin ambience of the spot. Highly recommend trying Vela.

Great inaugural visit. Highly recommend starting with the Paloma. Enjoyed the Tuna Tostada and Taco Pastor, sadly the Empanada was "meh"--very bland, the Quinoa Avocado Salad was delish, the Castacan en Mole (Pork Belly) was mixed--great mole, dry meat. On the whole, will be back, try new things and see if they can improve upon some of the misses.

I converted Open Table points for a $50 certificate. I booked Vela Chicago via Open Table yesterday, then printed out the certificate — looks like a credit card — but when I presented it after brunch today, server said, sorry, certificate DECLINED. Server said nothing he could do. I do not blame the server or the restaurant — I blame Open Table. I got this certificate after several years of booking points through Open Table, and the first time I try to use my points, my certificate card is declined!!! What??? Really ticks me off. Vela, please forward this to Open Table Customer Service,
