    Our experience at Vela was great. We went to celebrate our daughter’s graduation and the space is beautifully decorated with dim lighting (but not so dark that you can’t see your menu). Our server Angie, was so knowledgeable about every single dish and helped us order for our table of 10 since it is tapas style. The food and drinks 10/10! She and the entire staff made our visit so much fun. Will definitely be back!

    Beautiful restaurant with great music. It can be a bit loud, but very manageable to still speak/listen to others. The staff was very kind and only came by the table for orders, drinks, or to refill water. Overall, great food, music, and staff making it an enjoyable experience for occasions with friends and family.
