My family and I had dinner here tonight and ask I can say is wow! The food was fantastic. Chef Matthew is creating some extraordinary dishes, so original. And the execution was flawless. I love this place. I had roasted salmon with mashed red potatoes, spinach, charred red onion salad, with a honey red grape reduction. It was excellent! Of note: the best new England clam chowder Ive ever had in a restaurant. Really. The best. My wife has the summer lump crab cake with cheddar and bacon Mac n cheese, avocado, and wasabi aioli. Really good. My wife and family absolutely loved this place. Not too much to look at from the outside, but the interior, service, and food were outstanding. Try it, youll thank me.

Where do I begin? I walked in the door at 430 pm on a Friday with my Jewish girlfriend (her name is Heidi Ann). We proceeded to seat ourselves because the red haired harridan, whom I assume to be the owner, was too busy berating her teenage daughter for not being pretty enough, or something of that ilk. I wasnt really listening. Immediately after sitting down we were harshly accosted by the owner (henceforth to be referred to as R.H.H.). She hissed in Heidis face "You cant sit there!!". No explanation or apology just the same forced and sickly smile that she wore plastered on her timeworn face for the entire evening. - - - to be continued- -

We hope the local area continues to grow because foot traffic would be great for Velo. We cant wait to go back to try the always-changing menu. Our choices for dinner were fresh and nicely presented. All 3 courses were innovative and obviously homemade from scratch. BYOBs like this are hard to find these days so we want to keep this in our short list of great lunch/dinner spots.

I never have any idea what I want when coming here because I know everything is going to be delicious. Whether its soul food, Italian, seafood, or anything else you can think of, its probably amazing. Velo isnt open every night, and youre probably going to be waiting a bit before being seated, but its worth the wait every time.

We ate there twice and the food was wonderful! However, we have tried three other times to bring friends, after raving about the food, and all three times the restaurant has been closed. Very frustrating! Doubt if I will suggest Velo as destination for dinner again. Really too bad because they serve great food.

Drove past this place like a million times and never thought twice about it. My girlfriend on a whim wanted to try it. The food was fantastic and the portions were ridiculously large. Girlfriend got the ribs (probably can be a meal for three). She loved them. I had the fishermans stew. I was beside myself.

Hands down, the most talented chef in Ocean County. Weekly menu reflects fresh produce and local seafood. For the caliber of talent demonstrated in each dish, the price is remarkably affordable. Velo has raised the bar for this area. Sadly, I now expect the same from other restaurants.

Unique menu and fresh ingredients make this place a hit. Dont be fooled by the location or exterior, you will not be disappointed. I took off a star because it was so hit inside the restaurant it was hard to enjoy the meal while everyone complained how uncomfortable they were.

Doesnt look like anything you would want to stop at from the outside which is terribly unfortunate because they have excellent food. Everything made with painstaking care and skill. Cozy and inviting inside with fresh and amazing cuisine. I couldnt recommend it higher.

Food experience was pretty good. Service was good as well. Parking was easy. The schedule of this place is confusing and constantly changes. Sometimes open and sometimes closed. Call before heading over.
