Vessel Bar & Grill Brooklyn Reviews
AMAZING! I hosted my real estate event here and my guests were wowed by the ambiance, staff and delicious food and drinks. The food presentation is superb as well as the taste. I highly recommend their lamb chops and for brunch their Cajun shrimp and grits. Overall, Vessel is a great place to dine.
My Besties and I ate here and the food was amazing. Owned by famed promoter, NYCDee111, we enjoyed every bit of this venue. This food was the perfect infusion of Caribbean and Soul dishes with the best marriage between spices in every bite. I loved their wings. I mean, who doesn’t love a great chicken wing!? The lamb chops melted in my mouth along with my two sides (broccoli and mashed potatoes). Yum. If you are ever in downtown Brooklyn and are in need of a reasonably priced menu for a bite to eat, well, here you go and thank me later! Located walking distance from the Barclay Center, this is a great place to pre game as well. 💫🍤🍸🍗🍹♥️
Had a great dinner, I always enjoy the bartended Luis. Love the hospitality here! Chill ambiance with good music and lots of tv to watch the games! Can't go wrong with vessel!
The food was good and the service was great!
Drinks bomb! Food great. Definitely coming back

We went here for a Couples Collab experience. We all enjoyed each other's company. Our expected brunch menu was not available, but they accommodated our group and gave us great service.

The food was amazing I love the lamb chops but the mashed potato’s was cold and the service wasn’t good but the staff was friendly they didn’t offer water or napkins we had to ask my overall experience was ok would I go back yes just for take out
6 people in this restaurant on Halloween and it took 40 minutes to get our food. The Lamb chops were delicious but the mashed potatoes was cold and the broccoli was warm
There were holiday parties the evening I went that I want not attending so it was rather lively. The dj was ok but the speakers suck. Food was just ok. Salmon sliders need sauce of some sort on the sandwich so it won’t be so dry. Service was good.
I haven't been to Essence now Vessel in over 10 yrs, I attend my spiritual lil sis Toallly Toya Buisness Shower event and I must say it was wonderful, informative and inspiring. The owner Mike was a great host and my Server Lou was helpful and attentive. The food was delicious! I had the Asian Inspire Wings, Cajun shrimp&Grits, Salomon with Mashed Potatoes & Broccoli a Pina colada and 2 Classic Margaritas the music was EVERYTHING!!! This is a place to come and have good food, drinks and music

Let me be honest, you will be satisfied in terms of the food. Not swept off your feet, but, not mad at whatever you choose. The waitress had an ATTITUDE and I really don't know why, but I did not let that spoil my first time. My Mac and cheese was delicious but it came with a hole, smh. You can see in the picture. I wasn't sure the sauce on my wings.....plus, it wasn't much sauce. The broccoli was tasty, the mash potatoes needed a little more garlic and butter and the boneless bites probably stole the show.... and that's bad when you are just fried boneless chicken breast. I may go back though to give it another chance and try the shrimp or the lamb or something.....or maybe not....
Came here threw times, each time expecting better. Service is way below standard, no water was brought out each time, rushed to order as soon as my group and I sat down. Not rude but unprofessional/unpleasant each time. Food is good, but nothing to brag about. Some items (appetizers) are over priced. Good lamp chops and wing. No happy hour food options. First time visiting was for a NBA playoff game. Decent place to watch game with several TV's

The server was Lisa she was really nice. Food is okay not that great. Jerk chicken I do not recommend & the drink cup size doesn't match the price. Ambience is okay nice decor for pics
The 4.7 must be for the drinks or the dinner because the lunch special terrible along with the service. Mr. Luis Took our order at 1pm at 1:40pm I had to walk over to ask for water . At 1:55pm our food came : Burger sliders ask for cheese no cheese Salmon with pasta dry and over cooked The wings meh and the fries came out cold . Luis was cute but on the argumentive side - when placing the burger sliders he asked my colleague if she wanted cheese she stated yes after the 50 mins he came with the burgers and told us it wasn't in his notes . Where they do that at. Meanwhile everyone who visited the bar seemed very very happy . To place the cherry on top the sodas / juices came out after the food but to tell folks 50 mins later ""oh Gingerale we don't have any more " Training , training, training . Let's get it together - I'd like to come back and support our black own business . PS. My 3 stars was generous

this place got shut down.
this place got shut down.
My valentine day was ruined! I came here because my significant other recommended this place. But when we got there the vibes was there but 2 hour wait time to get our food. And on top of that didn’t even have what we wanted. They gave us ice cream that’s only thing we even ate the ice cream tasted nice and it was on the house which as appreciated. This place is only if you single or your drinking. This is not a restaurant you wanna sit down and eat at.
I was unable to place an take-out food order during lunch today ;due to employee behind the bar was preoccupied with the 6 customers sitting at the bar only. Upon trying to place order, He wasn't listening and told Me I was on my phone and He couldn't here/understand my order for takeout and proceeded to take out his ear piece and stil didn't understand my order face to face. Be advised,I will be informing all my Co-Workers and HRA Employees not to support this business due to rudeness and slow service
This place is very nice inside. The day I went was on a Friday afternoon. I’m assuming the guy there was the owner but he had little to no staff, so he was the bartender, waiter and server. I can get how that can be overwhelming but me and my group were very patient. The owner is very nasty and rude. His customer service sucks, he does not know how to speak to people and he does not care either. He messed up my order after me waiting for an hour, I went to see about my food and the way he spoke to me was very distasteful. I will never go back there nor would I advice anyone I know to go.
