I eaten here a couple of times and both times it was very good. The flatbread, hummus and soups are especially good.

Great place to start out at! Had the Cowboy flat bread and a couple glasses of wine. We had our company Holiday party there back in December and the chef could not have been more accommodating! Hint: they need to invest in a wine fridge - our two glasses of red were at room temp and a bit warm :(

My husband and I had dinner at Vellos on a recent Sat. night. The restaurant was packed but the food and service was still wonderful (and cheerful). My husband, a steak lover, had "The Chairman's Reserve" and ate it with a smile on his face. I had "Herb Roasted Salmon" which came with the most wonderful quinoa pilaf. Both our... More

We have not had a "meal" there ... however I can tell you that when we were there last I looked around at the plates being served & they looked GREAT!!... More

Recently ate here with my family and a bunch of students. The staff and service were very good. They quickly made a table for our large party on a busy Saturday evening. Everyone loved their food. I enjoyed their sushi and a delicious martini. The potato chips with blue cheese were delicious too. The atmosphere is cozy and upbeat. You... More

Went there with my boyfriend on Sat night for a lovely dinner. Very well hosted and good service. Used to be the old location of 'Urban Flats' which was famous for their flat breads and soups. The lovely wood grill tempted us to order flatbread. Although the Fungi,Cajun Shrimp and Caprese flatbreads looked tempting, to try something new, we ordered... More

Had lunch with a colleague I haven't seen in a while. Appreciated a calm place to relax and catch up. I was happy to have tried this place in search of one. Good food, friendly and attentive service. Very casual and comfortable even though the facade may suggest otherwise. Will definitely be back.

Took my granddaughter to lunch so everything is coloured by that happy thought. The appitizer was a nice maranaria with chevre and toasted bread sticks. We all had fish blackened, fried and others, all well done with a very nice flair. We really enjoyed ourselves which is about as much as you can ask.

After checking out the lunch and dinner menus, my son and I tried this for lunch yesterday. The lunch and dinner menus appear identical except there are a few more entree's on the dinner menu and all of the food costs about $2-$3 more at dinner. My son got the short ribs and I got one of their "flats". My... More
