• Decor is nice, food is ok.
• The most insulting staff I have ever experienced, expensive.

“I've been to vesper twice, the first time was for lunch and although the pasta dish was ok, it was nothing special and quite expensive for what it was. Still, not enough to avoid giving the restaurant a second try, and the decor was quite nice. My second visit was so disastrous we did not stay for dinner. I had arranged to meet a friend there for drinks and dinner mid-week, and had arrived a bit early. I decided to wait at the bar with a glass of wine. As I was sitting there the manager walks by and says "it's a bit early for wine isn't it?" first, it was 5:30, not noon, and second, what in the world is the manager of a restaurant doing making negative comments about what, when or where I have a glass of wine? I ignored it, but I was irritated by it. After a few minutes a woman came in and sat at the bar - yes, she looked a bit run down, but she was not dirty or bothering me or anyone else. The manager practically ran her out with Nasty remarks. He did not simply ask her to leave - he insulted her until she left. Then, at last my date arrived and as she was walking in the door the manager exclaimed "not another one!¿ meaning another single female customer he did not want, and headed toward the door to keep her from entering. Now my friend is one of the most attractive young Asian women you will ever see, and even something of a fashion clothes-horse (as well as being a physician), so I was taken aback by this weird behavior by the manager, but I managed to let him know she was with me before he got to her! Needless to say, we did not stay for dinner. I managed to make up some reason we should change restaurants, so my friend never found out she was almost accused of being a bag lady by the manager and denied entry. I know I will never step foot in the vesper restaurant again.”
