" I recently tried Velvet Buffalo with my family, and the experience was quite mixed. The atmosphere is lovely—perfect for a family gathering. However, we had quite a wait even though we had a reservation, which was frustrating. While the appetizers were decent, the main courses varied significantly in quality. My husband enjoyed the pizza, which was very flavorful, but I found my seafood dish to be underwhelming and lacking seasoning. The service was friendly but perhaps not well-organized that night. I can't say if I would return based on this visit alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been here several times for various celebrations and the quality never disappoints. The atmosphere is lively and fun; it feels upscale yet comfortable. The pasta is always made fresh, and I've never had a bad dish here. I especially recommend the lasagna, which has a modern twist but retains the heartiness of traditional lasagna. Also, their house-made desserts are to die for! I’m glad to have a restaurant like this in our community. It feels both special and inviting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Velvet Buffalo! Everything from the service to the food was top-notch. The restaurant itself has a cozy yet modern feel, which I loved. I opted for the lobster pasta, and it was incredibly flavorful. My partner had the bruschetta to start, which was a refined version of the classic. I will say the prices were on the higher end, but the quality made up for it. I would love to return to try more of their delicious offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Velvet Buffalo but ended up being let down. The place has a great vibe, and the initial service was commendable. We ordered several appetizers, and they were pretty good. However, my main course left much to be desired. I opted for the lasagna, which was surprisingly bland and nothing like I expected. The prices are also on the steep side for what was experienced. Overall, I don't think I'll be returning. Disappointing night despite high hopes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last night and the experience was quite subpar. While the atmosphere is nice, with stylish decor and a pleasant vibe, the food did not meet our expectations. I ordered the lasagna, which was far from traditional and not the hearty meal I was hoping for. My friend's dish was also lacking flavor, and we were surprised given the rave reviews we had heard. The service was fine, but our server seemed overloaded. I was hoping for a fabulous meal as I have heard so much about this place, but I left feeling disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the buzz, we decided to finally check out Velvet Buffalo. Our experience was rather average. The ambiance is nice with stylish decor and good lighting; however, it was a bit noisy. I opted for the seafood pasta and was a bit disappointed with how overcooked it was. On the other hand, my partner ordered the pork chop, which was excellent. The service started slow, but our waiter was very attentive once he got going. I may give it another shot, but it wasn’t enough to blow me away. " (*Curated Review*)

" Velvet Buffalo was a delightful surprise! I went there expecting an average Italian restaurant but was blown away by the authentic flavors and beautifully presented dishes. Each dish reflects a modern twist on traditional recipes. The wait staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the enjoyable experience. I had a wonderful saffron risotto with seafood that was creamy and perfectly cooked. My partner's dish was equally impressive. The only downside was the pricing—it is on the higher side, but worth it for the quality and freshness of the ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)
