Vela Kitchen

I don’t know where this places and talk about more because it’s probably one of the best restaurants in the whole Pleasantville area. Great food and vibes. Feels like you’re eating at a New York City restaurant.

We needed a restaurant to celebrate my daughter's job offer and selecting a restaurant for my clan is never easy. We need a broad menu to suit the tastes of our picky family including a foodie, a vegetarian, and a lactose intolerant, health-focused honoree. Everything went very well; our party of 4 enjoyed a lovely evening.

The truffle popcorn appetizer was a surprise hit, flavorful and light. We also enjoyed the brussels sprout appetizer. Our entrees included a tasty version of lobster paella, seared salmon, sesame encrusted tuna, and a harvest bowl with salmon added. All the dishes were well prepared and nicely plated. We chose not to have dessert, but the options looked tempting. We expect to put Vela Kitchen into our restaurant rotation.

Love the staff, the ambience and the quality of food and drinks at Vela. Their cosmopolitan is consistently delicious, they have a selection of good wines. The truffle popcorn, cauliflower fritters, tuna tartare, and branzino are all delicious!
