Vela has been on the list of places to visit for some time. Since Marvin left 7Enoteca in Oakville and took the helm at Vela, we have wanted to get round to check it out. Fortunately today we were able to dine at Vela and it did not disappoint! (Other than Marvin not being in for todays service). The environment is stunning. The food is amazing. The service was attentive. (Many thanks Sandy, not only on the food advice, but the wine advice as well!) We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and look forward to returning to try the tasting menu at the counter. That type of experience is right up our alley!

We really had a great brunch date here ! The DJ was amazing ! It was 90's vibes and we absolutely loved and needed that! Our server was so cool I think her name was Jazz (Jas) she was kind, attentive , funny, and she did her best to work quickly even though the kitchen was understaffed. The pancakes were delicious !!! I really enjoyed my espresso Martini 🍸. It was a really nice touch giving us the voucher for the photo booth that was so much fun we had great laughs and copies of our pictures for memories! Definitely returning here and really soon
