   Veranda never disappoints. Great food with daily chef specials and fantastic service. The live music in the bar that Friday night added to the experience without overwhelming. I like there’s a choice of large or small salads for those wanting to make it a meal. Specials are always a good choice, tonight’s was a Southern pork chop and rice and a ravioli with shrimp, but my husband may be addicted to their Bolognese.

   We had a party of eight for NYE and as usual the food was very good. Some in our group had never been to Veranda and I’m sure they will be coming back. They have a great menu selection and the food is consistently good. We had an amazing server. She was personable, professional and was very accommodating. I’m sure we will be back again.

   I was disappointed with the salad I had, but would be open to trying something else here again. The creamed corn was amazing and worth coming just for that! For the price of a salad with chicken, it was lacking flavor and I wouldn’t order again. Service was good and the waitress gave great drink recommendations.

    Great food, lovely ambiance and atmosphere. We generally sit outside this was our first time inside. It was warm and inviting. t was a little loud but we were sat next to a holiday gathering which was fine. So I don’t think it’s normally that loud. Highly recommend. Purchased family gift cards while there to spread the word!

    Scallops were overdone and salty. I was freezing even though there was a nice fire right behind me. Ambience is nice. My guest had no complaints at all. He loved it, said his food was perfect. No one bothered to bus the table so it became crowded with dirty dishes. Food comes out and we have to move empty plates out of the way, because no one else knows better. I've been a waitress and find this unacceptable. This is not the Golden Corral. I won't send my food back for too much salt and being overdone. That's how I do it at home anyway, what I'm used to. They were busy with multiple parties and I understand how difficult that can be for a server, but was his birthday too, without any pomp and circumstance (not needed), or care on behalf of the staff. I enjoy their happy hour and was looking forward to a real meal here but was disappointed. It's a quick fix, less salt and do you mind if we have a table that is uncluttered?

    Everything was very good except we felt rushed. The salads came out right after the apps & then the meals before we were done with salads. We were out for a date night & didn’t feel like we had enough time to talk between courses.

    We dined inside after several recent visits on the patios over the summer and early fall months. Nice and varied wine list, but several offerings were not available. Cocktails were well prepared and creative. Menu is solid and everything we’ve tried during this and our last four visits was very good and nicely presented. Service was attentive, but not overbearing which added to a nice leisurely evening with friends. Indoor dining rooms are cut up due to historical nature of building, and could use a little restoration and consistent furniture rather than some folding tables that are put into use. Great experience and we will return soon.

    I live in the neighborhood and I had out of town friends who wanted something close by and easy. We were seated right away but no one came by to ask for our drink order for a long time. I called over someone that may have been managing that night who was very apologetic and after that we were waited on like queens. No big deal as I know service is generally great. We all got different things and everyone was very pleased. Veranda is a wonderful affordable place.

    We were seated upstairs. It looks like they are not finished remodeling this room. No ambience at all. A bit chilly and just looked like a spare room. We were in the room which also had a party of 20 people and it was very loud.

    A wonderful evening at Veranda. The food was amazing and service top-notch. A friend from out of town joined us for dinner and we had lots to catch up on. Our server did not push us to place our order and timed bringing out our food perfectly. I highly recommend Veranda!

    Ordered the Delmonico, but was told it was unavailable due to lack of stock. So, I ordered the filet for $38.00 and was expecting a decent meal at the minimum. The Filet was over prepared and had zero flavor, the seasoning used must have been boot polish because the Filet was like chewing on leather. My wife had the veranda burger which was decent. My expectations were too high for this establishment as my spouse and I usually dine elsewhere. The service by Ana was great, she took my steak back to the chef without any word in return. I will eat at McDonald’s before eating at this poor establishment. What a joke.

    Unfortunately our visit Saturday was not up to their normal standards. I made this reservation a week in advance to enjoy a night of music and food. When we got their our original table wasn’t ready. We waited a bit in the bar and when we were seated we sat in the farthest table from the music. A bit disappointed. Server seemed very busy as she was not as attentive as usual.

    Had reservations but hostess seemed disorganized; however, she did find us an excellent secluded table. Waitress assigned to our table never showed up and we had to get hostess to wait on us. She was very accommodating but obviously not a trained waitress. Water was not refilled, had to ask for silverware and bread. Overall, not up to Veranda’s usual standards.

    We requested outside seating for our Anniversary dinner (via open table) and it was not available when we arrived. The restaurant didn’t even acknowledge our anniversary. The food was just ok but not worth the price, which is why we have it a poor rating. The service was the only highlight as our waitress was very good.
