Price wise it was above average compared to other burger and chip shops, but worth it, you're paying for the vibe and atmosphere too. I live in Dunedin and never knew about this place. Thank you for a wonderful experience, and I'll spread the word about your business. Keep up the great work!

There beer selection is good. There were three beers and one cider on tap. I suppose the prices are a dollar or two higher than other burger places in town, but the taste of the burgers justifies it. I will definitely come back each time I visit my in-laws in Dunedin.

I have a bit of a biased review... I had returned from a wildlife tour pretty late at night on a…read moreThursday and there weren't many open options at that point. I had seen Velvet Burger prior to starting the tour and kept that in my back pocket as the menu looked pretty good. So I ran in once my tour returned... and they ended up letting me order a takeaway chicken burger :D Despite closing up, they made it pretty fast and I ran back to my hotel to eat it. It was so good... I was really thankful they let me order so late, AND that the food was as good as it was. I had the chicken burger w/ bacon... super delicious. I may have eaten it super fast as it was late and I was quite hungry :O But I know I loved it. I would go back again (earlier in the day) if I returned to Dunedin :D

Velvet 21 was still making it happen well past 10pm. Kurt is awesome. Makes it feel like a fine dining establishment. Music was upbeat while we watched the drunk people down below in the large open window. Even had a wine and vegetarian option for the girlfriend to keep her at bay. Perfect if you plan to just walk around and drink at various places. Don't waste your time at the sit down places.

The waitstaff is amazing- the ambience is full of life, the food and wine variety is inclusive, gourmet and very elegantly put together. The bread is warm- DELISH! I got the vegetarian cauliflower entree and boy it was outstanding with the caramelized mushrooms and onions and the beautiful but potent balsamic glaze. The coffee based turkish dessert was a tad heavy and tad too sweet (I know dessert is supposed to be sweet So technically this is on me) but relative to the sugar levels in other restaurants, this one surprised me. Nonetheless- delicious!

Almost all the traditional dim sum dishes were top tier. The only exception was the lotus wrapped sticky rice (lo mai gai). The rice was wayyyy overcooked and hard so that it wasn't even sticky anymore. Everything else was great. The inside is a typical dim sum feel without anything special or bad. The service was decent. We also tried venison which was cooked well. Overall a fairly priced mall dim sum spot that I would recommend and is a great spot to get your dim sum fix.
