What Cass Maris doesn't like about The Vessel:
Food was great However service was terrible. Slow service, plenty of staff just standing around. Wasn’t meal checked and didn’t ask us for desserts. When we finally asked for dessert menu, they didn’t come at all and was waiting for around 20 minutes so we upped and left. Could have just been a long weekend for them, but definitely needs improvement Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner View all feedback. What Jen Norton likes about The Vessel:
Wonderful first time at The Vessel. The staff were extremely friendly and a pleasure to interact with. The restaurant was lovely and clean, inclusive of the toilets. Atmosphere was great, the food even better. Well worth a trip Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch View all feedback.
