Vella's Restaurant & Tavern

We encourage people go their nice for couples and families to go eat at. Also the food was great includes the environment..????

I've been here before but never a place I flavored. I decided to get the shrimp and ribeye, not respecting it to be that good. But I was very surprised. I enjoyed the whole meal.
Service was great.

Nicely dressed for a semi casual night.. I read about here.. decided to dine...and landed in this strip mall. When entered with a friend, the hostess stated we would be seated in the back. So, friend giggled to me and said, "Not in the back." I was quiet but along for the walk to experience what history in the making of this place we're embarking. The temperature had even changed. It was cold and dark. Yes, people were back there. But, it had a dungeon feel. I am thinking this is amiss. I informed her nicely with returned smiles as she did with us that we won't be sitting back here it is too cold and isolated. She had no quorums and quickly took us to an empty table in the front (which was one of the vacant ones originally). Our waitress, whom reminded me of sweet Brittany from V Pump Rules, was genuinely eager to make things right because our steaks weren't correct a couple of times..med rare, then scorched on one side. She placed order for new steaks. This time great. She consistently checked on us and her other tables. She was easily tipped. We noticed other waitresses did the same for theirs. Attentiveness is a plus for me. Another plus was timing of the food. It was brought to us promptly...each time. Because our mood was laid back, enjoying girl talk/laughs, many patrons to cook for but still good turn around time for orders that the cook's miscues were written off.

I went on a Monday night which is an all you can eat crab night and I did some damage. The crabs was juicy and full of meat. I never had to ask for for refills. They kept everything rolling straight from the pot to my plate. I just wish they had garlic butter. Can't wait to go back!

I've been here many times. A few times for anniversaries. I actually went in yesterday with my mother and 2 children. The service has always been great and the waitresses have always been on top of things. Yesterday we ordered 2 alcoholic beverages each (which you could tell there was alcohol in the drinks unlike some places.) We also ordered fried mushrooms, which were phenomenal! Best fried mushrooms I've had in a while! Then a Greek salad also was great! Only complaint there is the bell peppers in it needed to be sliced thinner. And I ordered a fried chicken sandwich with bacon and fried onions rings! Everything was so good, definitely will start coming here more often. No complaints!
