"After quad-burning days on the slopes followed by maybe a little too much après, sometimes you just need food that’s easy, kind of healthy, and fast. For that, look no further than Vessel, a casual lunch and dinner spot that reminds us of a modern cafeteria. Opt for one of the salads or pre-composed bowls like the Med 6.0, with falafel, couscous, cashew caesar broccoli, or see what looks good in line and build your own with a protein like shredded chicken, steelhead trout, poke, and more. Consider adding on one of the vegetable sides, a glass of the on-tap kombucha, and baked goods from local Süss Cookies." - Jené Shaw
"I recognized Vessel as a sandwich spot included in the Urban Dinner Market lineup." - Gabe Guarente
"Vessel, a 150-foot-tall, stainless steel stairway-to-nowhere sculpture that will likely spur some competitive climbing."
"I can preorder Vessel’s five-course prix fixe New Year’s Eve takeout by phone (by December 28), which includes deviled eggs, gumbo, turmeric-roasted Cornish hen, braised short rib, almond-crusted halibut, and desserts such as pineapple upside-down cake, turtle cheesecake, and crème brûlée." - Clair Lorell
"Set in a historic church in Mid City, Vessel’s moody, gorgeous interior (antique chandeliers, stained glass, rafters like a ship’s hull) makes for a memorable cocktail and dining experience; I enjoy the Mediterranean/Southern fare, craft cocktails, and desserts, and the space’s ghost story adds to the ambiance." - Eater Staff
