We had been here before for the happy hour so my girlfriend and I were excited. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation just to wait 45 mins to be seated. Our server only saw us twice in 50 mins after being seated and we were deceived by the NYE menu. Also I was hit twice in the head by a server.

The New Year's Eve at Vela seemed to catch them off guard. When we were seated, we were told that our table would need to be given up in 90 minutes. However, at the 90 minute mark, only one of the four courses in our prix fixe meal had been served. We were brought the bill before our meal was complete, asked to leave our table before the server could return with our credit card, and everything seemed generally discombobulated and disorganized. I have to say the food was delicious, although the twist that our prepaid for meals would have to be agreed upon collectively by the table and not individually chosen was unexpected. The servers seem to be working valiantly through the confusion and I have no complaints about any individual person, everyone was pleasant and clearly trying to make the best of a bad situation. It was New Year's Eve, and we were all in a good mood, so we still managed to have a good time even when the DJs music started to pump up to the point where we couldn't hear each other across the table. I'm not sure what a normal night at Vela is, hopefully it's less frantic!

10/10 experience. I reserved this spot for my best friends birthday and it did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and thoughtful. The team even wrote her a birthday card. The food was phenomenal. All flavors mesh well in every dish. Pulpo a la Parilla, Pollo a la Leña, and the empanadas were our favorites. Definitely plan on coming back to try other dishes and for any other celebratory needs.

Our friends just moved to IL from Mexico. They said this place is authentic with modern mixes in the food. And they approve! Everything about Vela was special. The ambiance and music, service by Ethan, drinks and food was amazing. We will be coming back. Definitely a spot to impress guests!!

We will be back. The food, drinks, and service lived up to the hype. Don’t skip the empanadas. The Paloma is the best I’ve ever had.
