Velveteen - Wenatchee (WA)

4 /5 Darnell Kebo: 3/15/2025: We were super excited to see the Yellowstone tasting menu for March. With all the different wild meats we had to try it. The space itself is beautifully laid out, high ceilings, muted lighting, lovely seating. Service is impeccable. There were a total of about 16-20 of dining that evening with 2 staff 1 server/1 busser). All the dishes were fabulous. Cocktails were balanced and very good. The wine pairing was spot on. Our only disappointment was that the deer and elk were from New Zealand. Absolutely nothing wrong with that except for the fact that the tasting menu was called Yellowstone and we were looking forward to US elk since the flavor can vary by regions. Overall this was a wonderful experience and I would certainly door a future tasting. Overall tab includes service charge and tax. Our total tab was about $678.

5 /5 OrondoMel: Velveteen is a singular experience in Wenatchee. The multi-course themed meal is pure artistry and the wine pairings well manicured, not just good pairings but with commentary about the origins, selection, and of course the pairing notes. Our meal theme was “Seven Deadly Sins” and the seven courses were imaginative and novel. Antelope tartar? Where do you get that? Chestnut soup with bread pudding? More please. It’s a splurge but for a 3.5 hour culinary experience well worth it. Probably not something you’d do every week but once or twice a year or special occasion, absolutely. Jacob the waiter/maitre’d/wine steward is knowledgeable, personable and funny. An all around amazing experience.

5 /5 Alix Whitener: What an incredible experience! We have been eagerly anticipating the opening of Velveteen. We enjoyed every bite of the October menu, including delicious fresh oysters and martinis made to order. The restaurant is stunning inside, and our table was beautifully set. Every dish was a work of art and our waiter described the ingredients and preparation of dishes, which was fun to learn and added to the experience of tasting everything. I loved how there were ingredients you likely never would have thought to combine, like tangerine and beets, which surprisingly compliment each other really well! For someone who doesnt typically care for beets, I loved it! One thing that may surprise people is the experience lasts a few hours, but it was great to have time between each course for conversation (which mostly centered around the food!) and enjoy the atmosphere - enjoy every minute! I cant WAIT to come back again!

5 /5 Madison Elyse Lachance: Visiting from Spain and had the pleasure of dining at Velveteen last night. From start to finish, the service, food, and overall experience was fantastic. The wine pairings were playful and creative, and the dishes themselves were wonderfully executed. Despite the truly luxe experience, the ambiance is comfortable and cozy - the perfect spot for a date or a fun night out with friends. I can’t wait to see what menu they have the next time I visit. Thank you for an amazing evening!

5 /5 BM BF: Excellent food and memorable experience. Server was professional (laying your napkin in your lap level) and Chef Kim came out to greet us during our dinner. My Wife doesnt normally eat Italian food (it was Italian inspired cuisine the night we came) due to garlic and onion allergies but wanted to try it. We reached out to Chef Kim some days prior prior who was able to accommodate to my Wifes allergens and provided a modified Italian course experience just for her; my Wife ended up really enjoyed the food! Not sure how Chef Kim did it, but she managed to create delicious Italian food without garlic and onion. Talented Chef. Worth the premium price IMO.
