Great brunch, bar and just off Canal St

We had brunch there with a couple of Bloody Marys. The food was great. Fast service, nice in door and out door space for eating or drinks. Certainly an interesting use of an old church but well done.More

I have been going to New Orleans for many years now. It’s supposed be a food lover's paradise. NOT THIS ONE. The manager, short white girl who wouldn't give her name, fought with 6 of us about the food/drinks they delivered. Their seating arrangement is...More

Obnoxious manager and false claims

Vessel was one of my worst dining experiences, and that's saying a lot, because I have eaten at hundreds of fine restaurants across the world. The manager of the restaurant was extremely rude and patronizing. I don't know if this was a race thing (I'm...More

Our group of 6 had a completely disappointing experience at Vessel. We came in for dinner during Jazz Fest and the restaurant was completely unprepared for the crowd that it had, even though most of the parties (like us) had reservations. The service was terrible...More
