    Chef Oscar's food, the music, fine wine, and graceful service make this my summer go to destination. The Valley loves Verse and it's such an important addition to our dining landscape -- I also love the new private dining room, color-drenched in the most amazing dark blue-green. It's a stunning space all around. Thank you Manny Marroquin for bringing us this incredible institution!

    From the moment we walk in, we are relaxed yet energized. The maître d’ greets us warmly, remembering our favorite table and server (Peter). Peter is such a friendly guy and always provides excellent service and never rushes us. He also makes the very best martinis! This is our favorite neighborhood bistro. It’s a jewel!

    If you’re coming here for wine, the only issue we had is they were out of half of their wine selection. So our choices were limited, but we discovered a decent red blend from Portugal.
