The food here is so tasty. Our table shared the platter and salad and everything tasted so good. We didn’t leave with any leftovers because we just wanted to keep eating everything while it was warm and freshly made. The restaurant is small but has plenty of charm. We were there for a late lunch so we had the restaurant to ourselves for the majority of our visit. That being said, the service could have been slightly more attentive to us. Once the restaurant had a few more diners come in, the server did come by more. Overall, a great experience and will return again.

The Gypsy Schnitzel and the plum brandy tasted amazing. Lepina bread with Chevapi, the buttery sour cream, and the perfectly-fried fries were also a joy in every bite. We were excited to experience so many new, great flavors in one setting. Although the restaurant was popular and quite small, we arrived in a quiet time and were able to be seated quickly. They had a very nice patio with brand new benches and young pine-like trees. The service was quick and super friendly. We are convinced to be back many more times!

It appears to have been a converted house which adds to its cozy charm. I started off with a delicious Shopska salad and a refreshing 500ml Polish beer before indulging in a generous schnitzel dinner. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was both polite and efficient. The meal was fantastic and reasonably priced, providing a stark contrast to the generic chain restaurants like Montanas and East Side Mario's. Family-owned gems like Veslo truly deserve our support.

My boyfriend and I decided to try the Platter for Two to sample a variety of dishes, and we were blown away by how delicious everything was. The potatoes were perfectly cooked - soft and fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. The sauerkraut was flavorful and crunchy, not too sour. The standout dish was the schnitzel - not greasy and incredibly tender. Every item on the platter was tasty. The family who runs the restaurant were friendly and welcoming. A must-visit! *Congratulations on your wedding, as mentioned on the door signage.
