This was my first time dining there since the pandemic ended. The new owners have added more signature dishes. Our server, Joe, was great too.

We had a great meal and experience. My wife order the filet, my daughter had the shrimp and I had the strip. We treated it like family style and shared with everyone. The flavors were excellent and the Pittsburgh style was perfect. The sides are large and shareable too. Jared was our server and he never left us wanting or needing anything, and didn’t hover the entire time either. It was a great balance. We will be back!

The restaurant itself is so cute! Everyone was super friendly, they had good music playing and most of the customers were vibing. We were there on a Monday night so there were half priced apps and drinks. Food came out quickly and was so delicious, we tried the chicken cracklins, sweet chili wings, and drinks to start. We’re from out of town so we had red beans and rice and a po boy for mains which also came out fast and tasted great. Sweet potato beignets are a MUST!

I recently held my birthday dinner in the courtyard at Vessel and it couldn't have been a better experience. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food and drinks was perfection. It's a lovely courtyard with beautiful lighting (and a tv for those wanting to keep up with whatever major game is on, though the sound was not loud or distracting in the slightest). Our server was attentive and engaging, and kept up flawlessly with our large group. The food was delicious; we ordered an assortment of items for appetizers, entrees, and desserts (my faves being the smoked fish dip, seared scallop risotto, the filet, and the key lime pie), and everything was wonderful! While we loved sitting outside, the interior is absolutely stunning and we will definitely go back to sit inside. If you live locally or are visiting, this place is definitely worth a stop.

Experience was great, food was excellent. Service was amazing. Though keep in mind they do charge an automatic 20% gratuity as well as additional fees for the DJ on Brunch days, whether you want the music or not lol. We enjoyed the music and the vibe so didn't mind paying extra. The overall experience was a bit on the pricey side, but it was definitely a great experience.
