    The service and food were both excellent! The noise level totally acceptable - loud enough that it was obvious people were enjoying themselves, but not so loud conversation at our table was difficult to hear. I would totally recommend 50 Vera to anyone!

    This place is a great neighborhood spot. Whole restaurant had one eye on a Warriors game, which was fun. Bring a jacket, it was chilly near the door!

    Tasty food, great sharing possibilities. The three of us wanted to graze, so we got the Persian cucumbers, which were nicely spicy; the potato/rosemary flatbread, a great use of potatoes; the baked goat cheese, good but a little more tomatoey than I like. Also the spinach salad, which had a lot of savory ingredients and was plentiful. The beer battered green beans were quite awesome; I could just have a couple of orders of them and a glass of wine and be happy. We had all three desserts since it was a birthday and they were all fantastic, especially the olive oil spiced chocolate cake. A good drinks menu. We were there early and it was quite family friendly. I'm excited they will be opening for lunch and brunch in the near future.

    Delicious food and refreshing space! Alexis, our server, was attentive and lovely. Would be great if they put “gf” by their gluten free options, especially since they have some. Looking forward to a happy hour menu!

    Great service from start to finish. Steven the host was cordial and friendly to greeting us. Took us to the upstair table. The waiter immediately came brought us water and returned multiple times to attend us. Food was excellent-ordered chips/dip, cucumber, fried green beens, calamari, pasta, and 2 flatbreads. All had unique favorable taste. Will definite return again. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    We walked , but parking was available near by . We were seated right when we arrived by a friendly gentleman into a comfortable booth viewing the high ceiling of green hanging plants and creative lighting . Server walked us threw their new menu. Cocktails were well made and they offer Cava , my favorite. We tried three items off the small plate menu and the green beans were the winner . We enjoyed a Caesar salad and a spinach salad . Great dinner portions and generous with the unique ingredients . The delicious looking crisp was sold out ,so no dessert tonight . My husband drank their in house dark beer for dessert , Tasty Fantastic addition to the Sunset .

    We had the best meal! Everything was delicious, I think we ate 1/2 the menu. The service was great, cocktails were amazing. We had the beer battered green beans ,carpachio , sausage and cabbage, potato chips and dip and crab cake appetizers . All were perfect. The entrees were really good. We had burgers with the best fries, Sea bass, and the chicken breast which were all terrific. Please order the chocolate cake, you will not regret it. All 4 of us loved everything, and that never happens! It was even easy to park!!!
