If you’re in New Orleans and looking for a great restaurant experience, add Vessel NOLA to your list.
Chrissy and I had an incredible evening there. The craft cocktails and mocktails were outstanding, and dinner was easily one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. She had the scallop risotto, I had the seafood pasta, and both were excellent.
The atmosphere is beautiful, relaxed, and inviting — the kind of place where you can slow down and really enjoy the experience.
What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality. Candice, Kami, Jessica, and Chef Dre were all incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home.
As a photographer, I always love places where the food, people, atmosphere, and service all come together. Vessel is one of those places.
If you’re in New Orleans, stop in, enjoy a drink, stay for dinner, and tell them Aric and Chrissy sent you.
