Velvet Vine Wine — Restaurant in Las Vegas

I went for the first time recently, and I’ll start by saying the young man working was very kind and helpful, which I really appreciated. I spent $75 on three mimosas and a decent charcuterie board. The place itself was fairly empty, but that’s understandable since it’s still new. The concept behind the mimosas is creative, though I don’t think the execution quite landed. For example, they add a sugar-crystal rim and it felt unnecessary, and even though we requested ours without it, it was still served that way. It wasn’t a big deal, they switched spots and the server may not have known but it was a small detail that stood out and left me spitting out rock sprinkles when I just wanted to enjoy champagne.

In total, we ordered six mimosas and one board, so we definitely spent a good amount. Unfortunately, the experience was soured a little when we were asked to throw out some energy drinks we had brought with us. I completely understand the policy, but the way it was addressed came off more passive-aggressive than necessary. Considering we were already paying customers, the delivery could have been handled better.

We had actually come in excited for the bouquet options, but most of the flowers were wilted, so I didn’t end up purchasing one. That was a little disappointing since it was a big part of why we visited.

Overall, if you’re nearby it might be worth checking out, and you could have a very different experience depending on who’s working that day. Personally, I probably wouldn’t return since there are excellent downtown deals for bottomless mimosas, and here we spent that same amount for just two drinks each.

On the bright side, the space was quiet and calm, which could make it a nice spot for studying or grabbing a coffee (though I didn’t try the coffee myself).

Just something...

I held back the last star because of parking and location. Signage isnt great when trying to find this place for the first time in an Uber (had to circle twice before figuring out location). And you cant even stop to get dropped off because its on a main street. I would think twice before going again because I have no clue where you'd even park and how far that walk would be. Not to mention it isnt within walking distance to the rest of arts district. All that being said, the service is great, Morgan was such a sweetheart. The place itself is cute, cozy and clean. And I absolutely loved the gummy bear garnish on my glass of Champagne 👌🏻 I am curious about the food they offer but not sure I'd return due to...

The customer service here is fine, so this review is strictly about the food and drinks. Unfortunately, the coffee, wine, and pastries were all disappointing. The seasonal coffee I ordered was so poorly made that I couldn’t even finish it. I also bought two muffins, both of which were stale and overly sweet.

The wine selection feels like basic grocery-store bottles, and despite being a wine bar, the staff couldn’t provide any meaningful information about the wines they offer. For a place that markets itself around coffee and wine, you’d expect higher quality and a more knowledgeable team.

Overall, there are many other spots downtown with far better coffee, wine, and genuine passion for...
