    Scallops and shrimp entree was light (2/plate). Was expecting a few more scallops and/or shrimp on my plate, but quality was excellent. Other entrees I saw being brought to other tables were generous portions (chicken parm). Appetizer was very good. Complementary dessert for birthdays and anniversaries, which was unexpected and excellent. Very nice ambiance. If it had been warmer, we would have been able to enjoy our anniversary dinner with the plastic linings retracted. Many entree selections available from the menu. Will certainly visit again,

    Giselle was our server and she was fantastic. She paced the meal very well, didn't hover and answered all of our questions. The food was excellent. I had the risotto of the day (saffron cream sauce) and it was fabulous. The serving size was HUGE! This was our second time there, and we will definitely be back!

    We stopped at the marina as a transient headed to Florida. Our dinner at Le Vela was amazing! A special highlight is the bolognese! We definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Everything was wonderful. The decor is amazing as well as the outside surroundings. Gorgeous boat views. Every dish was done with fine detail and tasted amazing. Dessert was delicious!

    Server seemed distant. She was very nice when she came to the table but she never asked how our food was or checked on us. Nice overall, just think more training is needed on table check ins.

    Great restaurant. Great food, service, ambience (if you eat on the porch as the restaurant itself is rather noisy). No complaints whatsoever.

    Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Drinks are good. Can get a little loud, but it really dies down later in the evening.
