Not great, but not bad either – So I'm going over to meet some friends at Velvet Margarita for a quick bite and drink or two last night and the first thing that bites me in the wallet is the $10 for parking. Oh well, I enter the place and it looks like somebody dropped acid and designed the place with junk they found from a Mexican swap meet. That being said, food was just OK, drinks were pricey but good and it's a "different" kind of place to go and hang. I'd go back, but I would just have drinks.
Cinco de Mayo!!! – Went here Monday nite for Cinco de Mayo and had the best time ever!!!! We did have to wait in line a bit though. It seemed like everyone in Hollywood was there also trying to get in. Anyways, once we got in, IT WAS ON! Open bar, free food all night long, who does that??? Well I also heard it was their 4 year anniversary so they were feeling generous, to my delight. I danced too, which I never do, I guess I can thank those free-flowing margaritas for that. It was a blast!!!! Thanks VMC.
Best Mexican Food Around!!!! – We had a group of 10, we started with appetizers- Wow what a selection - my favorite was the salmon casadias. Their main courses were beyond what I expected, my favorite dishes are the chilli rellenos and green Chili Enchilada's! The atmosphere is amazing and of course the the velvet margarita in the pineapples made with real fresh fruit are the best I have ever tasted! I even saved room for their wonderful dessert, our whole table shared 4 different Desserts all great. The service and the staf... read more
BEST TIME! – This was my second year ay the VMC for Cinco de Mayo. The best party!! Margies were soooo good. I had the mole which was delish! Saw my big crush Dean Cain. He actually smiled at me and I froze but i've seen him here before so hopefully I'll get a second chance. Mariachis were so fun. Lot's of good looking people. Vince Vaughn was there with his crew. I've seen him there a few times too. I hope they invite me next year. Thank you to vmc for a gooood time and congrats on your 4 years of biz. awsome place!!
Just okay. – I've been to this place at least three times now: once for drinks and twice for birthday parties. Even dining with largish groups (between 8-12) for the parties, we were virtually ignored. If it takes more than 2 hours to have dinner, that's a bad sign. And each of us ordered 2-3 drinks, appetizers, and dinner. Even with reservations we had to wait around until all of our party showed up. Their house margaritas, for $8, are nothing special, and not that big (think - the size of a well drink). If you want a great... read more
First Timer – Hello Citysearch! Well, here it goes... my first review. I can't say for sure what makes me an expert on the nightlife or the vast dining scene in Los Angeles. I am hardly a "foodie", I've never worked in the restaurant industry, hell, I?m not even that good of a cook! What I am though is a regular guy who appreciates a good meal, a cold beer, and a little respect from the person who I plan to show appreciation to when the check arrives. I love places like the Rainbow on Sunset, Musso & Franks and Miceli's in "... read more
Fun Place! – I took some clients here this weekend and we had a blast! We were very impressed with the originality and great energy that made Velvet Margarita something more than just Hollywood "hype"...
Great Ambiance! – The moment you walk-in you can't help but look all around at the fabulous decor! The restaurant has a very mellow and low-key vibe. Very cool furniture and lots of awesome pictures on the walls. There was very little light, it is very poorly lit inside. So, if you're trying to have a conversation with someone next to you, turn on the candles! Then, our waiter kept forgetting to bring us our waters. Then, the acting manager would just stand in the front overlooking the dining area. We felt like we were being... read more
Fun Margie Night Bar – Fun bar to get some chips and salsa and a margie but not a place to have a good mexi dinner. Don't choose to go here for the food, go for the drinks and atmosphere.
