It was my first time at Velvet Buffalo. I had always heard great things about it. We went to celebrate the holiday with friends. My girlfriend and I ordered Chicken Garganelli. It was very bland with literally no flavor. We asked for pesto in the hopes it would be better, but it was not. I ate about 1/4 of my meal. Waitress offered free dessert, but left hungry. She then told us that she got another complaint about the bland flavor from another customers. She told us they had tried a new recipe in the kitchen and apologized. After realizing their mistake, I would have thought they would have offered a free meal, or a coupon to return. As it is, I’m not sure I would go again. Disappointed!
