    Dustin did such a wonderful job taking care of us. The food was great, and the conversation was fun. A lot of thought went into the decor, cutlery, glasses…even the napkin, something seemingly insignificant, felt great. I’ll definitely return.

    Food good. Service great. Value good. Wife and I dined out on a Friday night at 8 PM after a summer evening. Sat outside which was a bit warmer but it was a nice romantic vibe. Dustin, our server was fantastic with the descriptions and recommendations of items on the menu. Food took a little longer than usual to come out but understandably on a Friday. We had the burrata app to start and that was great though we didn’t care too much for the thickness of the bread or the nuts or pomegranate. We also had the lamb shank tacos as the entree and most of it was moist, tender and flavorful and it was also enough for both my wife and I to share (but we were not very hungry and wanted to save room for dessert). We had the tres leches for dessert which was decent. It was better than others we have tried at normal Mexican restaurants and it was a safe option for us. For drinks (non-alcoholic) my wife had a guava margarita mocktail which she thought was just okay, and I had the whiskey sour mocktail which I absolutely loved. Overall great experience, good food/drinks, with amazing service.

    Hi Sean, Thank you so much for dining with us and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re so glad to hear that you and your wife enjoyed a romantic summer evening on our patio and that Dustin provided fantastic service and helpful recommendations—he’ll be thrilled to hear that! We appreciate your feedback on the burrata and mocktails, and we’ll be sure to share those notes with our culinary and bar teams as we continuously look for ways to improve the experience. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the lamb shank tacos and that the whiskey sour mocktail hit the mark! Thank you again for joining us—we look forward to welcoming you both back soon! Warm regards, Verbena Food & Beverage Manager

    Nicely located restaurant in a Hilton property. Their patio in the middle of the building structure is good, but it was a bit too hot to sit outside in June. Their citrus salad is great. I highly recommend it.

    For Mother’s Day brunch there was a mariachi band that was so loud we could not have any conversation at our table. And we we were at least 5 tables away from their location. Other diners were closer and there’s no way they could hear their conversations either. The band was really good and the idea of having that type of entertainment is nice, but they were using microphones and amplifiers which were completely unnecessary. We asked our server about the possibility of asking them to turn it down slightly but she said other guests had already raised the question and management said no. Great place. Good food and drinks. Usually great atmosphere. But this particular visit wasn’t very enjoyable.

    We ate on the patio and everything we had was delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and graduation. We had the octopus, dumplings, ceviche, gem salad, chicken dos moles and the pork chop.
