Customer Reviews

Two couples at a four top, first time for all four of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the acquaintance and delicious food homemade pasta etc. We are the best cioppino I've ever had. The Bolognese was also 10 out of 10. The restaurant is still new and the bar is probably still learning so the cocktails were just slightly lacking, but that will not stop us from returning. Reservations strongly suggested for an early seating.

I made reservations to treat my wife on her birthday. This was our first time at this restaurant. The food, server, service, and a atmosphere was A+. I could not have made a better choice. My wife had salmon that was prepared to perfection. And the capers served with it added an unmatched touch of taste I we had not experienced anywhere. I had their lasagna and it brought my taste buds to life. It was exquisite. I believe it was a combination of three meats cooked in a way that rates the absolute best I have ever had. They treated my wife with a dessert and the hostess personally and quietly helped me sing Happy Birthday to my wife. She had a great birthday at The Veranda and we will be going back. If you go, please make reservations. It is a small restaurant.

We don't eat out to dinner often since my husband is a chef himself. We absolutely loved the experience, quality, presentation and taste! Everything was amazing

5 stars all the way. They were able to get me a reservation through Facebook and very very accommodating. Food was great. The bruschetta was the best I've had in a while. The carbonara was not as thick as I would like but that is being really nitpicking. The tiramisu was wonderful.
