My husband and I were able to sneak in at the bar on Valentines Day without a reservation and it was magical. Everything was perfect! Service was friendly and attentive. Cocktails were thirst quenching. Scallops were phenomenal. The filet and lobster were divine. Triple layer mouse cake was the perfect end note. I left tipsy, satisfied, and a bit spoiled. Thank you!

Simply phenomenal first time experience at Vangeli's. I made a last minute reservation & the hostess was beyond accommodating. Her clear communication to let us know a party was coming in behind us helped to keep track on being out in a timely manner. Evan was our waiter & he was absolutely wonderful. He treated our 5 year old with so much kindness & she felt very included in our Christmas dinner. The food...stunning & delicious. So much so, I just had to be that person taking photos at the dinner table. 🤭 You can't beat the atmosphere, quality of food, cleanliness of restaurant/bathrooms & superb service from front of house staff-->bar staff-->kitchen staff! We cannot wait to enjoy another evening here again soon!!

5 Stars - Vangeli’s Bistro is Our Go-To Spot! Katelyn and I can’t get enough of Vangeli’s Bistro in Seneca! Evan and Melissa run an amazing place with killer food and top-notch service every single time. The pork chop? Incredible. The scallops? Perfection. And now they’re serving fresh lobster from Live Maine Lobster (shout out to Michael Crowley’s Seneca/Maine company)—it’s a game changer! We love this place so much we buy gift certificates for our clients. If you’re in Seneca and want fantastic food in a great atmosphere, Vangeli’s Bistro is where it’s at. You won’t be disappointed!

So worth the money for a nice night out! Our server, Joe (pronounced like Joey), knocked it out of the park! The Chop and gnocchi dishes were amazing, and the she-crab soup side and chocolate cake were very welcome surprises! I would absolutely recommend dressing up and going out here with a reservation!

Tried Vangeli’s while visiting Lake Keowee and it did not disappoint! Our table got several appetizers that were incredible, including the steak frites and tuna tartare. One of the favorites for the night was the elk special they had. Highly recommend this spot if you are near Seneca.

My only regret is that I waited so long to try Vangeli's. They have incredibly unique and flavorful offerings across the board. The daily specials are lights out. I chose the Chilean sea bass over onion risotto with raspberry beurre blanc. Yes, I had to Google that spelling but all that you need to do is show up!! Ask for Alex at the bar, she's a consummate pro and will guide you straight to dining nirvana. Great job!

We celebrated Valentine’s Day and a very special anniversary at Vangeli’s on Saturday night, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The service was impeccable. Joe, our server, was absolutely amazing — attentive, professional, warm, and perfectly paced. He made the evening feel effortless and special without ever being intrusive. The food was outstanding. The scallops were perfectly prepared, the sea bass was delicate and flavorful, and the filet mignon was cooked to perfection. And the Swiss Chateau cake was the most delicious ending to a beautiful meal. Vangeli’s made an already meaningful night even more memorable. We are so grateful and can’t wait to return.

We’re visiting from Georgia for the weekend and decided to stop by even though we didn’t have a reservation. They were able to accommodate us and find us a table without any waiting time, the atmosphere and food were amazing, literally we’re thinking on just driving from Georgia to eat here. Our server was Evan, he was great, everything he recommended was delicious and he made us feel like family. We can’t recommend this place enough, I keep telling my husband even the water was delicious hahaha.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner last night at Vangelli’s . We’ve been several times and every time we come it exceeds our expectations. We ordered the scallop appetizer, which was wonderful, split the tomato and burrata which is fantastic and we ordered the special Wagyu beef and split it and it was plenty. In addition we had the amazing banana peanut butter dessert, and a bottle of wine. We always split our meals and they charge a $10 split fee, Joe was our server and it’s always nice to have him take care of us and we were able to enjoy the fabulous music which was a surprise to us. I am Big on clean bathrooms and the bathroom was very clean. We made a reservation and were seated right away. Splitting ether steak was plenty.
