"I went for the cevapcici and was disappointed. It was not good at all. I also had the grilled octopus, which was very good. The kelbasa and sauerkraut was good, but nothing spectacular. I was disappointed all in all."

"The food, wine, and service was absolutely great! The music and bar area was a bit loud which made it difficult for us to hear each other (party of 6). They have a cute little outside area in the back, which is probably really great in the summer. We definitely enjoyed the place would recommend it to others."

"We've been going to Veslo since it opened, and I have yet to leave a review. My apologies that I have not yet, but this is well worth the wait.We made a reservation for 11:30 AM for lunch during a big soccer match for a World Cup qualifier. I just wanted to say that even though the bar was packed to the rim with fellow soccer fans, we still received the utmost service, attention and grace from the managers and our waiter. The beer was a perfect temperature. The cevapi platter made to perfection. Our waiter was the best and literally was SO fast we couldn't believe it. He maneuvered through the crowd like a mad man without skipping a beat! That is pure talent and dedication. Thank you to everyone at Veslo for making our day!"
