" I visited Vel’s for the first time last Friday, and it offered a nice cozy environment for an evening meal. I ordered the chicken parmesan, which was crispy and served with pasta. It was decent, but I had better elsewhere. The portion sizes were impressive, though. The staff was polite and attentive. I think I’ll give it another chance and try different dishes next time. Overall, a comfortable restaurant to enjoy a filling meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I tried Vel's on a Wednesday evening! We can confidently say the pizza did not disappoint! It was fresh, hot, and full of toppings, and it was much better than we expected from a family restaurant. The crust was light and perfectly crisp. Our server was warm and welcoming, which added to the experience. We’ll definitely be returning for another round of pizza and to try other items on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Vel's was like stepping into an old neighborhood eatery filled with history. The décor might be a bit dated, but the food certainly doesn't lack in flavor! I ordered the fried scallops, and they were some of the best I've tasted; crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. A couple of my friends had the chicken alfredo, and they were just as pleased. Our server really made the experience enjoyable with her friendly demeanor. I can see why this place has remained popular among locals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! I went there last night, and I can't recommend the lobster bisque enough—so rich and loaded with fresh lobster meat. I also loved the lobster roll—it was delightful and packed with flavor. The portions were so generous, I had to take half of it home! The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is just fabulous. I can see why they get so much return business. Definitely going again! " (*Curated Review*)

" You know, Vel's has been a family favorite for years, and I can't recall a visit where I left feeling disappointed. The last time I went, I ordered their lobster bisque, which is hands down the best I've ever had—rich with lobster flavor and a great consistency. We also tried the fried seafood plate, and everything was cooked perfectly. The waitstaff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but they were still friendly and did their best to keep up with our requests. I would absolutely recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my visit to Vel's was quite satisfactory. The food was flavorful, and the portions couldn't be better for the price we paid. I opted to try the meatloaf, and it met my grandma's standards! My partner had the fried clam plate and was very pleased with it. The setting has a casual charm, with friendly staff serving the tables. Would consider coming back for occasions in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Vel's for ages, and I’m always satisfied with my meal. The fried clams and onion rings are always fresh and generously portioned. During my last visit, I tried their clam chowder, and it was creamy and full of flavor. The restaurant has a nice family-friendly vibe. The staff is usually efficient and pleasant. I haven't had a bad experience at Vel's yet, but I missed getting the servers full attention during busy times. However, it’s a solid choice for a meal anytime! " (*Curated Review*)
