I have been to The Velveteen Plum numerous times, and I have never left disappointed! The food here is delightful, very flavorful, and the plating of the food itself is tasteful and matches the atmosphere of this chic rooftop bar and restaurant. This restaurant is a must for anyone looking to indulge in well-prepared food with deep roots in Latin-inspired cooking. The wait staff here are all phenomenally kind and truly make each and every meal that much more enjoyable. It's safe to say that I'll be returning for another meal very soon! (Additional Note: I would highly recommend the chimichurri bread to anyone looking for a delicious appetizer!)

Absolutely best place in town for food, service, atmosphere, cocktails. The one recommendation to the owners. Alter the menu for people that don't like spicy or can't eat spicy. 95% of the menu is spicy. Otherwise this place takes the number 1 spot in town minus the spicy .

I would give the VP a 3.5 or a solid B rating. When you walk in it gives you this VIP appearance. Love the swanky rooftop just wished it was warmer so we could really enjoy it. Views were awesome from our table! And they accommodated our large group easily. Our waitress was adorable. If she didn’t know something she found the answer. Meals were good but did not have that elevated feel it should have for the price or environment as it was served in a basket. While this may seem petty it really brought down the dinner. Such a cool environment but presentation failed at plating. So much thought put into everything else. The beverages had more thought put into them. Would love to come back for drinks on the patio.

I had a dirty martini and the mussels which are always my go to and the best. Stacy is the absolute BEST server I have ever had. I have come here for over two years now and Stacy has never not served me with the best personality, work ethic, and attentiveness to our table. Stacy makes it personable and never ceases to amaze me. If you want the whole experience with foods and drinks as for stacy !!

We enjoyed our dinner here & it was absolutely delicious. My friend who was eating with me has some allergies, so Chef Erica came out and discussed options & made her a delicious meal. Our server Mila was a wonderful server! Gorgeous views inside and out. This definitely was one of the best meals I've had in awhile.

We had a great date night here. The service was slow, but overall the atmosphere was on point. We sat on the rooftop, and it was a nice night, so the wait for drinks and food didn’t bother me as bad. I loved my salmon entree, and the shrimp ceviche was decent. My husband’s red snapper was delicious! The mussels were different than what I’ve had, but my husband enjoyed them. I loved the decor and the drink menu ON POINT! I will stop again!
