   Excellent creative and tasty dishes. We’re repeat customers because we’re lucky to live within walking distance. This has become our splurge meal when we feel we deserve it midweek.

   We had an excellent server whose suggestions were spot on! We were not disappointed with anything he suggested. Especially good was the grilled spanish tako with warabi, risotto funghi, and ribeye.

   Food was good but disappointed that there were no specials. Service was mediocre. Iced tea was served without the server bringing or offering any sweeteners initially. When the reservation was made via Open Table, there was a notation that it was a special occasion (husband's birthday) but this was never acknowledged by the staff. I also saw our server sniff a cocktail shaker which he then used to prepare a drink for another customer. Overall, probably not a priority for us to return.

   It was a very nice place to eat. Not too noisy, good size of food and a good cappuccino.

   Food was above average but not outstanding. The clam appetizer was delicious but the osso bucco that we ordered was good but didn't "wow". Server was awesome except that he brought entrees out shortly after we received our app, which kinda sucked bc our entrees sat on the side for a bit as we finished our app. Overall, 3.5-4 stars out of 5.

   My wife had other reservations for Valentine’s Day at another restaurant but changed to Vein at the last minute. I’m glad she did. We were also hesitant about going out altogether being that it would be a busy night and perhaps lacking service. But we were pleasantly surprised to have had a great dinner with equally great service. Can’t wait to come back.

   The ambiance was great, but the food was underwhelming. I ordered a steak medium and it came to me well done. My partner ordered pasta, and the pasta was undercooked.

   Right in the middle of the SALT food complex. Vein has good drinks and tasty appetizers. Their main courses were good. If you like adventurous pasta, then you'll like Vein. They don't have your typical meatball and spaghetti. I will go again when I'm in the neighborhood.

    Ambiance would've been rated higher if we weren't seated outdoors. It was a very chilly evening and were told no inside seating was available. Didn't request for outside either when we booked our reservation, but next time we will know better to specify.
