"so-so"
by nikeheart
(4 reviews) December 04, 2007 - I like trying new places and Veil caught my eye with it's modern ambience and inventive menu. We started with a cream of cauliflower soup poured over braised oxtails sprinkled with apples - pretty good, but the apples added a rather confusing flavor to the mix although the texture was interesting. The oxtail itself was quite delicious. Next we followed with a peanut butter and jelly fois gras - really, that's what they called it. In the end, the "peanut butter" was a thai peanut sauce and the "jam" was a blood orange jelly. I wish they hadn't seared the outside of the fois gras so much to create a crunchy burned crust. Again, interesting flavors, but I could have done without the peanut sauce.Main entrees - pan fried trout with cider puree and bacon was excellent. I do have to warn that the cider puree tastes more like ginger plum sauce with less tang and a hint of apple. The crispy striped bass with vegetable jus was more of a miss. The vegetable jus had way to much vingear and it came with spaghetti squash rolled in cabbage??? This was a rather confused dish that didn't seem to know what it wanted to taste like, drowning out the fish with the sour sauce.I had high expectations for a concept restaurant catering to foodies, but unfortunately, this one wasn't as inventive as I had hoped and missed the mark on a couple of the dishes. 2 people like this review - Recommend |

"Disgusting"
by Adrock
(9 reviews) January 14, 2007 - If you're the type that likes a little food with your salt, this is the place to go. If you like it the other way around, it's not.The food here is oversalted to the point that you'll want to check your blood pressure after leaving.The dessert selection is bland and uninspired. Most of the other food is boring.The decor is awful, as well as seating arrangements. Sorry, I don't want to sit at the 16-person communal table, and I don't want my table to be within six inches of the next one, or sit next to someone (as opposed to across from) at a tiny two person table.Hey, did I mention - don't bother going here... |

"Stuff what the PI and the Seattle Times say where the sun don't shine"
by johnnjill
(20 reviews) October 26, 2006 - Uh ... a place where the sun don't shine could be Seattle 8 months out of the year, but I think the papers are missing the point here. Veil is not about Seattle -- it's a hommage to the other great foodie city on the opposite coast. Decor is very New York Modern and by that I mean that it reminds me of The Modern, the restauarant next door to the new MOMA in NYC. The menu is original, the plates and the service impeccable. Sure, it's not an everyday sort of place. And it's not Asian-cum-Cascadia or yet another Northwest casual dining, like Rays or Ettas. But Veil has sophistication, creativity and very fine food. And the prices are reasonable, which is more like Seattle than New York. TG. |
